@thibault_mundele So cool to see Hatchr on product hunt!!
I used to be the quiet one, the guy who’d rehearse small talk in his head before ordering coffee 😅
Now, I get to work on an app that helps people break out of that shell — one small challenge at a time.
If Hatchr helps even a few people feel less stuck and more confident, that’s a huge win for us.
Would love to hear your thoughts !

@thibault_mundele This is such a thoughtful and much-needed product. Turning exposure therapy into a gamified, supportive experience is brilliant—especially for something as isolating as social anxiety. Rooting for Hatchr!

@thibault_mundele @ritchrivia Let's gooo! This is us almost 10 years back 😂 You could catch us performing in any squares of the big cities. Now things have slighy changed... We came out of the street, took what what we learned and started Hatchr to help people with social anxiety :)

@ritchrivia @bigjjjim This is so cool! Did you really start with some performances to increase your confidence?

@ritchrivia @busmark_w_nika I wouldn't say we started to perfom in the goal of increasing our confidence, but years of performing in the street definitely helped us overcome social anxiety. Entertaining strangers who never asked for a show—and who could (and often would) ignore or reject us—taught us to care less about what others think and be more playful with life in general :)

@ritchrivia @bigjjjim Guys, I love your approach! :D
Love the concept of hatching you've got going on! The UI and the mascot looks very 'cute' too. Will give this a try, congrats on the launch

@indukeys Thanks a lot, appreciate! 🙏
Since Hatchr doesn’t have many testimonials, would people be unsure about using the app without more proof that it works?
Hatchr
@vouchy That's a fair point. Since Hatchr is still new, we don’t have a lot of testimonials yet. While exposure therapy itself is a well-established and proven approach (see here: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/25067-exposure-therapy), people do often look for reviews before trying something new. It will definitely take some time for us to build up that kind of social proof as more users try the app and share their experiences!
this is much needed for younger me!
The exposure therapy approach is such a smart foundation, and gamifying the experience with progress tracking and streaks makes it feel like a journey rather than a chore. Does Hatchr offer any personalized challenges based on individual progress or comfort level? It would be great to have something that adapts as you level up.

@evgenii_zaitsev1 Thanks for the comment! This is only our V1 so we don't have that system yet but you hit the nail on the head with your suggestion. It's already on our roadmap :)
This has always been a painful area for me... Meeting new people and spending time with strangers has held me back from many opportunities in the past.
That’s why it feels like this product was made for me!
I’m really excited about the journey ahead and the challenge it represents, so I went for the yearly membership.
Can’t wait to improve my social life!
