Uneed Community - Launch, get seen, & grow alongside other makers

byβ€’
The new version of Uneed is finally here, and is called "Uneed Community" ✨ There are A LOT of changes in this release, and we won't be able to go through all of them. But the two most important ones are: πŸ’…πŸ» A complete redesign of the website πŸ“° An X-like feed The idea is to slowly pivot Uneed from a simple launch platform to what we'll call a social launchpad. You'll be able to market your product every day, to give/ask for feedback, and more.

Huge congrats on launching this next level for Uneed @thomas_sanlis1!

Enabling builders to engage with a huge pool of fellow builders for early-stage products in this way is honestly the missing bridge in this community. Most excited about the waitlist feature to share with my friends. :)

Thomas Sanlis

@josefbuettgenΒ Thank you so much Josef 🫢🏻!! I might have some questions for you later regarding the waitlist then πŸ‘€

Congrats on the launch mate!

Please never stop building in public, love following your jouney πŸ˜€

Thomas Sanlis

@rrmdpmΒ Thank you so much Rodrigo πŸ”₯. I won't!! It's been soooo long since we started this thing, right 🀯??

Rodrigo Rocco

@thomas_sanlis1Β Yes, you are killing it πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻

Hey @thomas_sanlis1, congrats on launching Uneed Community! πŸš€ Your approach to creating an X-like feed specifically for makers is brilliantβ€”I really appreciate how it transforms the platform from a simple launch site into a social launchpad where builders can engage daily. The guaranteed homepage visibility and DR 72 backlink features are game-changers for product visibility. Excited to see where you take this next. Best of luck with today's launch!

This redesign looks clean, man. Love the direction, turning a launch platform into a real space for builders to connect and grow together just makes sense. Excited to see how the community evolves πŸ’ͺ

Thomas Sanlis

@kushycodes Thank you so much Kush 😊!!

Pay to play Product Hunt, eh?
Thomas Sanlis

@chrismessinaΒ Kind of! The paid access is still an experiment, I introduced it a couple of months ago to see if it improves the quality of overall products. It does (a lot), but I don't have enough traffic to be able to continue for long, unfortunately πŸ₯².
The new Community is another attempt to differentiate a bit from PH πŸ‘€.

Seth Monk

Cool product! How'd you get past the initial stuggles with the network effect?

Thomas Sanlis

@sethmonkΒ best question IMO πŸ‘€

There are 2 things to say:

- I kind of already did! Uneed is 6yo, has 45K registered users, and ~500 daily active ones.
- I don't need it to be suuuper active. I'd like a tiny/medium community where quality > quantity. This will be my main goal in the coming weeks πŸ˜„

Muhammath Maushook

@thomas_sanlis1Amazing idea! Really love the direction Uneed is taking. Could you share what types of products or services people can launch on Uneed, and what kind of response or traction creators typically see after launching?

Thomas Sanlis

@maushookΒ Thank Muhammath πŸ™ŒπŸ»

basically, you can launch any type of tech product on Uneed.

The traction you'll receive depends on a lot of factors. We don't have PH's traffic, so you can't expect hundreds of visits on your launch day unfortunately πŸ˜….
But if you manage to climb the podium, you can unlock some nice traffic sources, like:

- Our leaderboards (weekly, monthly, yearly)
- Our "alternatives" pages
- A mention in our newsletter (11K subscribers)
- And now, our community (you can use links in your posts!)
