1000+ new users from our Product Hunt launch 😱 Thank you all!
It was a long road to get there, but we did it — we crushed it on Product Hunt last week!
We would have been happy to just crack the top 10, but we ended up sitting at #2 all day long, which was nothing short of amazing! We just wanted to write a quick note about the success and to thank all of you that helped us get there.

How did we crack Product Hunt?
We didn’t have much of a social presence, or a community of fans before we launched which is something I strongly view as a prerequisite for anything you’re thinking of promoting.
It still makes me sweaty just thinking about that, and yet we still managed to rock it. How’d we do it?
It all starts with having a great product, and I’m sure luck played a part as well, but we also did quite a bit in the preceding weeks to ensure that luck would be on our side when the big day arrived. That will be the subject of a future blog post — follow us here on Medium so you don’t miss it! 😈
We couldn’t have done it without you!
