Ship by Product Hunt

A lot has changed since we launched Ship 1.0, nearly a year ago. Since then, thousands of makers have used it to build an audience and communicate with over 2,000,000 early adopters. A few popular projects (like this one) use Ship to build a waitlist of more than 55,000 subscribers. We’ve learned a TON from their feedback. This big update includes: ✅ New tools. Now you can create a Chat room with your community, useful for managing a small beta group or gathering feedback on a new feature. ✅ More customization. The most popular feature of Ship is our landing page creator, but some makers wanted to personalize their page even further. Now you can choose from three templates and customize everything from the background image to the button color to match your brand. ✅ AWS and Stripe perks. Those on Pro plans can unlock up to $5,000 in free AWS credits and instant access to Stripe Atlas + zero fees on the first $50,000 of transactions. Our goal is to offer a single toolset to help makers build an audience, speak with their community, and ultimately ship better products. We’d love your feedback and feature suggestions. P.S. The first person to spot the Doug reference in the video gets free Ship kitty stickers. Reply here once you've spotted it. 😉

At Product Hunt we often use emojis as code names for projects. The emoji for Ship 2.0 was 🛥

1. 7 day free trail deducted money instantly and now on changing the plan results in processing fee overhead. I lost some money due to this for Credit card processing.

2. Stripe Atlas and Stripe Processing Credit seems more like click bait. $500 for Stripe Atlas and limit for each type of subscription should be clearly mentioned in Product Hunt website.

3. AWS credit being conditional should be clearly mentioned in Product Hunt website.

Pros:

Monthly subscriptions are better for products needing short term ship features.

Cons:

Annual subscription does not include the exclusions clearly.

The video was sexy af

Exciting stuff. Loved the video and the line spend less time building landing pages and spend more time building products. <3

We at Atoms, have been using Ship Pro since the beginning to build a waitlist for the shoes. 👟 Initially the goal was just to build a better sign up page that shows social validation. It turned out to be a lot more, we were able to get important info from our subscribers like their shoe size, location and exiting shoe experience. That level of engagement was key to build out the community and then we used Ship to send (not so) regular updates with behind the scene info and how we were approaching the product. Thank you team – you built an amazing tool. It served us well and hoping to see more using it. 🙏🏽
