Accidentally hit the top 30 on Product Hunt yesterday

I launched a tiny dev tool yesterday while procrastinating on ZenFirst. I really didn't expect much from it, but I woke up to find it got featured on Product Hunt and climbed into the top 30.

The tool is called Okan. It just sends browser notifications for Claude Code, which I originally built to stop myself from staring at the terminal while coding ZenFirst. The launch brought in 312 unique visitors and 28 new users in a single day, and you can see the page here: https://www.producthunt.com/products/okan-claude-code-browser-notifications?launch=okan

I spent exactly zero hours preparing for this launch. Compare that to the two weeks I spent over-engineering my last ZenFirst update, which barely scraped together 12 upvotes. It is honestly a bit frustrating, but it proves that solving a very specific problem quickly beats polished marketing every time.

The sudden spike in traffic was a nice distraction from the usual grind. Now the adrenaline is wearing off and I am just sitting in my flat in rainy London looking at bug reports. Next week I am going to try applying this low-friction launch mindset to the new strict-lock feature for ZenFirst.
