What’s Working for AnimeMyPic — and a Quick Thank You to This Community

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

I launched AnimeMyPic a few weeks ago — it's a tool that transforms your photo into anime or cartoon-style art using AI. Think: Ghibli, One Piece, Naruto, or even classic cartoon vibes.

I’ve been testing different platforms to get the word out: Instagram, X, Threads, etc.
The visual posts do well in terms of engagement, but to my surprise...

💡 The majority of my actual traffic came from Indie Hackers and Product Hunt.

This community, along with Product Hunt, drove the most curious and genuinely interested visitors — people who read, clicked, explored, and even shared feedback.

So thank you — this kind of maker-first support is something social media just doesn’t deliver in the same way.

📢 If you want to support, I’m live on Product Hunt now:

Would love a visit, a comment, or even just an upvote if you like the project 💛

🙏 I’d also love your feedback on:

• How you convert curious traffic into action (signups or usage)

• Whether you think I should add a free preview mode or smaller price entry point

• What’s worked for you when growing a niche, visual product

Thanks again, and happy to return the support for your launches too!Here’s the site if you want to try it: 👉 animemypic.com
