As a weekend project, it’s still rough around the edges, but I wanted to share it ASAP so others can declutter their phones too. Let me know what features you’d like next!" Tips for Launching on Product Hunt Visuals: Add a short demo video (15–30 seconds) showing how to create and save a shortcut. Include a thumbnail (e.g., a split-screen of a generic home screen vs. a FakeDIY-themed one). Timing: Launch early in the week (Tuesday/Wednesday) when Product Hunt traffic is highest. Engagement: Reply to comments quickly (e.g., “Thanks for trying it! What color palette would you want next?”). Tags: Use relevant tags like #iOS, #ProductivityTools, #PWAs, and #Design.
