Pretty Prompt - 0 to paying users in under a week.

We built a tool for ourselves that went wild on Product Hunt, and 0 to paying users in under a week. Here's how it happened:

We were sick of fighting with prompts.
So we built a tool to fix it.

My co-founder, Charlie, and I kept getting stuck on the same thing: Writing better prompts.

๐—•๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐˜ ๐—˜๐—ป๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐—น๐˜† ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ.
You know the drill:
โ€ข You get a good idea
โ€ข You fire up ChatGPT
โ€ข You type something out
โ€ข Itโ€™sโ€ฆ meh.

So, we did what any sleep-deprived founders would do: ๐—•๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—น๐˜ ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ป ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—น. Over a weekend.

No fluff. No fancy pitch decks. No looking for funding. Just a scrappy MVP we wished existed. We called it ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐˜† ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐˜. Think Grammarly, for prompting.

Launched it on Product Hunt โ†’ 10k improved prompts in the first week.

And hereโ€™s the crazy part: 30% daily growth since launch.
(!!!)

Turns out, a ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต of people were feeling this pain. No idea how it got there, but people are making TikToks of it! (And I don't even have TikTok ๐Ÿซ ).

It's super straightforward. ๐—ข๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐˜๐˜๐—ผ๐—ป. ๐—š๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐˜๐˜€. ๐——๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ.
A Chrome Extension to help you (us) write better prompts, faster.

Would love to share it with the IndieHacker community, and if people want, I'll create a discount code just for the community.

Would love to hear your thoughts!
