Now for a brief moment of gratuitous self promotion... we're on Product Hunt
Really don't want to be spammy. So, my apologies. But, if you truly do like our product, we would really appreciate the upvotes.
Cheers!

Sorry for late reply, I read giving a direct link to your producthunt page may give you negative vote.

BTW, the same day on ProductHunt I was running my product post Watermark.ink competing yours :)
So far I got like 500 visitors because of ProductHunt post, how is your producthunt post results?
Doh! Oh well, I guess the damage is done. I did see that projects listed above us had less upvotes and though it was odd. One was sponsored, but others just seemed to be out of order.
Just updated your project. I haven't looked at website visits. But I did notice we got about 120 more installs that we usually do. I'll take it! =)
Good luck with Watermark!
I closely watched upvotes that day(like logging every 30 minutes). Direct linking is not the only issue, PH must have some cryptic algorithm unless how can samsung flip jumped directly to 3rd position with just 20 upvotes.
The last time I got product of the day on PH the next 4,5 days I saw huge traffic from Asian visitors(For me that traffic is much bigger than what I got from PH). I guess some of the Asian websites translate the top 5 PH posts into Korean, Japanese, Chinese,etc and post them on their blogs/sites etc. So most probable you will see huge traffic in the next 4,5 days.
Yeah, it was entertaining watching the voting. The Samsung positioning was definitely suspect. I didn't have high hopes, since this was my first time with something on PH.
Thanks for the tip about traffic. I hope it sustains a bit. One thing that was cool was we got an ASO bump.
Cheers!
Jonathan, can you edit the link of PH? This is just a general link to the website of PH :-)
Done! Cheers!
