🚀 Product Hunt report (top 1 upvotes, comments, reviews), 🤔 6th place. AMA!

​​💥 Wow, Product Hunt day was a blast for Better Wiki (betterwiki.me)!
Let’s sum up the results.

🤩 What’s good:

  • Amazing support from our rapidly growing community.
  • Productive and non-stop discussion in comments, that continues even now
  • Almost 900 new users and subscribers from 78 countries! Meeting people from USA, Canada, Australia, India, Brazil, Japan, South Africa, Netherlands, Germany and many more means a world to us.
  • 2 huge names in open source – Lars Schmidt and Robin Schooling shared Better Wiki to their communities
  • We were supported by the top2 hunters on PH – Chris Messina and Kevin William David
  • We carefully studied PH rules and acted in accordance with them.
  • We were the top 1 of the day based on user opinions, so can your product 🙂

😕 What’s not so good:

  • Better Wiki was THE ONLY product out of top 6 that was not featured on Product Hunt’s Twitter
  • It seemed like the badges “top 1/2/3 product of the day” had nothing to do with actual user opinions and ratings.
  • We weren’t even close to the top 1 of the day based on Product Hunt opinion and algorithms.

🙌 The results
We achieved our goal of sharing Better Wiki with the international audience.
The most important thing for us was your support and feedback. It inspires us to continue making work a better place 💚

⭐️ New great resources are coming up next week!

AMA! I'll gladly answer fellow indie hackers questions!

    Well I am not surprised - not the first time I hear this happening to a product with lots of good stats - lets say it's just how it goes uhum uhm....

    However...
    Have you tried contacting PH directly to ask for a tweet and more visibility? Usually Ryan and his team are super cool when it comes to giving it a little extra push, they don't mind especially when you're making an awesome product that the community likes!

      I've contacted PH support team 4 times during the launch and once after. They were fast to respond, but all of their answers can be summed up to "we have some algorithms that work in a mysterious way".
