🎉 Launched on Product Hunt
After getting everything together, Chrome Extension Kit launched today on Product Hunt!

This is the first product I've launched on Product Hunt and overall the experience was pretty great. It seems to be trending at a decent pace so far, so I'm hoping it keeps it up!
Would love to hear feedback on the launch or advice on how to do something better next time potentially as well.
Congrats Ryan and best of luck!!
We also launched Plausible Analytics today (with a year and a half delay or so)... let's see what happens!

Upvoted plausible analytics, love the fact that it is open source
thank you Sagun!
Thank you and best of luck to you as well, I upvoted it!
thanks Ryan!
Ryan, I loved chrome extension kit! I shared it with a couple of friends who were interested in discovering this universe :)
We launched tabby on ship, it's also a chrome extension that we built from scratch. It incorporates an AI that removes your inactive tabs automatically and silently to help you focus on the browser.
Popping up your email in our ship list would be awesome :)
Congratulations. Just upvoted your product. Looks like something I would like to give a spin.
Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions about anything related to the kit.
Congrats on the launch!
Did you know your hunter beforehand or what was your process to get hunted by Chris?
Thank you! Chris reached out to me on Twitter about the kit and since I already knew who he was from Product Hunt and Twitter, it was pretty exciting.
Congratulation. I too launched today for the first time on PH. One thing I learnt is having a good connection on twitter and indiehackers helps a lot.
Thank you! And Definitely, having a network can make a big difference.

Thank you! As for your questions:
It varies product to product, but there are a lot of guides out there. The main things I would say is: ensure your site is prepared / optimized for potential traffic, put together some nice images for the gallery, and have a comment ready that you add to the post to give some more information.
In essence, yeah! In my case, Chris is a well known and respected Product Hunt user, so it helps to have someone like that hunt your product versus hunt it yourself if you have a smaller network. There's conflicting opinions out there on whether or not it really works, but I certainly think it has an impact.
I have quite a bit planned actually, haha. I have some additions and improvements I'd like to add to the kit based on some feedback as well as launch a new website with a blog and a showcase (showcasing what people make with the kit).
Hope that helps!
