Product Hunt launch
Hey Indie Hackers!
I plan to launch my app on Product Hunt on October 6th. My pre-launch page is ready. Here is the link: https://www.producthunt.com/products/roadmark-2
I'd love some advice from people who've already launched something there.
Also, I want to ask if the tagline and pictures clearly show what the product does, and whether my first comment is too long. I tried to fit in as much information as I could, but maybe that's more than needed.
Have you launched anything on Product Hunt, and how did it go? Please reply in this thread.
On the first comment: most people skim it in the few seconds after they land from the launch list. What tends to work is three short parts: why you built it (one line, your own problem), what it does differently from the obvious alternative, and one concrete question for visitors so the thread gets replies. The rest can go into replies when people ask. For Oct 6, ask people who already use Roadmark to leave a comment about how they use it rather than just upvote. PH weighs upvotes from brand-new accounts less.
Really solid approach — curious how you're thinking about this, what's been the hardest part to figure out so far?
