      So I work on growth for Crowdform. There's a couple of reasons why we write:

      • Build awareness (Generate Leads)
      • Helps us think. "What actually is our company, what do we stand for"
      • An excuse to talk to other founders. Learn and also build relationships. (We just started an interview series)

    @crowdform - Was ProductHunt the only pre-launch channel for your Instagram commerce product? Did you use any other avenues and ideas for the pre-launch?Btw, did your idea take off? I see Instagram launched their own checkout platform - https://edition.cnn.com/2019/03/19/tech/instagram-shopping-checkout/index.html

      I worked on this for @crowdform. So we posted on a few other places as well. Reddit / Hacker news.

      Currently talking with some larger companies and figuring out the best way to build. And yeah, instagram's one was bad timing.

        @harrydry - Got it. Hope you'll beat IG next time around when you figure out things. Cheers!
