Hey folks,
Shortly after launching Terra, we launched in Product Hunt, and ended up in the Golden Kitty awards of the year!
Happy to answer questions!

Congrats!
🙏
Congratulations, Kyriakos - it's truly impressive! I remember we had a conversation back in late 2021 about integrating Terra with our wearables (aidlab.com) as we have open API/SDK, but it didn't materialize at that time. Nonetheless, now might be a good time to revisit that possibility.
Once again, congratulations on your achievement!
Thank you! and certainly, I remember the conversation! Happy to help :)
Is Producthunt good for ai tools?
definitely! all the folks looking for new products are there
thanks
What are things to focus on prior to the launch?
Any tip that you think is worth sharing only by experience ?
prepare folks to expect your launch a week earlier, and let them know immediately when you launch. Being very high at the beginning is very important.
ask hunters with a lot of followers to hunt you
launch at 00:05!
thanks!
good luck with your launch!
Thats awesome, congrats!
We are planning a Product Hunt launch in the next 2 months. What are the top 3 things we should focus on? How did you built up traction pre-launch?
A few things
Find a good hunter, to hunt your product
Make a list of all the people you know that can upvote. Let them know 1 week before that you will launch
Make sure to launch at 00:05 of the day! Send everyone an email to inform them! Being very early at the top is the key to keeping you at the top. Being low at the beginning will significantly reduce your chances
Make a comment at the beginning, and make sure to be authentic and real
How does having a good hunter contribute? Even product hunt themselves recommend hunting yourself, so I am torn
Good hunters have a lot of followers, and all these get notified of the launch. This helps to get many more upvotes
Also, the quality of the upvotes is also important for the rankings ( if you get 200 upvotes with people with little followers vs the same upvotes with reputable folks, the latter gets you higher)
