Reached 250 paid subscribers!
by Arnaud JoubayMy recipe so far:
- make the best possible app and try to adopt the latest iOS technologies
- have a fair price with regards to what people expect to pay for a small utility app
- launched on Product Hunt (with no community)
- posted once on Reddit
- add seasonal content (funny looking cows) that is limited to the paid subscription
- be a bit more active online
- 0 paid ads

Congrats Arnaud!
Your app looks great, but I can't try it since I am on android :(-

Hey, sorry about that. I'm thinking about it though and have an open waitlist: https://airtable.com/shrc0YABm2wdTm9u1

this is a very good idea. Calm, Steezy, and Fitbod have done amazing with paid subscriptions for things people didn't think would become large consumer subscription businesses.
i think you should look at Zero Fasting and their Apple Watch-like circle where you track your fasts and get data as you go.
i think a mechanic that would work for your business is tracking "hours without meat" --- I'm sure folks would share their "meat fasts" on instagram/fb/etc.
keep going!

"hours without meat" is an interesting idea, I'll have to consider that thanks!
I did download Zero Fasting some time ago I never used it even though I do follow "intermittent fasting".
I just reinstalled it to give it another chance and see how they do it.

Congrats! Got any tips on launching on product hunt? How much of it is just getting lucky?

I do believe a lot has to do with luck, but there are still things you can do to improve your chances.
Maybe the two most important things I did:- ask @chrismessina to hunt me. He makes that really easy: just visit his website https://chrismessina.me, where you'll also find tips.
- be sincere and try to make people laugh (eg I made a fun video because I was very much into The Mandalorian at the time - still am and waiting for season 2!)

Bravo Arnaud ! Quick question, when distributing your content, other than Reddit, have you used any other channel to drive awareness? Content de voir des français ici :)

Merci Victor, likewise :)
I have NMT accounts on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook but I don't spend nearly as much time as I "should" there. Just the occasional post.
I tried Imgur once, I should probably keep posting there.
I mentioned NMT once or twice on LinkedIn as well.Do you have any suggestions?

wow never thought of posting anything on Imgur, but why not. And no, totally asking out of curiosity, looking for quality channels to spread the love as well
