🚀 prodcheck launches here tomorrow. What getting it ready taught me about followers

Tomorrow, prodcheck goes live on Product Hunt. It's the checklist I wished someone had handed me before my own launches: the things that break in production that nobody warns you about, sorted so you can check them before your users find them.

The lesson I learned too late while getting it ready is about followers, and it might save someone launching soon a week.

A thread in a topic forum like p/general grows your profile. Only a thread in your product's own forum shows the product's Follow button, and product followers are the ones Product Hunt notifies on launch day.

I found that out with my profile at 54 followers and this page at 2.

So if you'd like to know when it's live, the Follow button above this post is the one. That's the whole ask!
