Congratz on the launch Grant, looks like a great product how long have you been working on it!

Also how many of the 969 signs ups ended up being paying customers?

  Thanks JJ!
  I've been working on it for 6 months.
  
  All users are in a trial period right now, I'll do a follow up post with % converted/revenue.

  Yes! I just wanted to ask you the same. How many converted into paying customers? How many sales you got?

Product looks great.

What did you do to get rank 1?
Anything you think is replicable?

  Yes:
  
  Hunt it the day before at 4pm EST so you can get votes before it launches
  
  Send it to your friends who are on PH (new signups are not counted well by PH)
  
  Tweet @producthunt so they can see it/feature you
  
  Respond to comments promptly

    Can you expand on this? I thought if you posted at 4pm est it would post the same day.

Great-looking product, Grant. That's less Drift messages than I would've suspected.

Is YNAW just you, or do you have a team?

  It's myself, and a friend who is occasionally handling some general tasks.
  If I get some sales coming in I'll put it towards hiring some people :)
  
  I'm not sure what a good drift ratio is but it sure felt like a lot :)
