Launched on Product Hunt
by Jeff BowenI had continued slowly working on ReferCodes and getting friends to give it a try. One or two randos even seemed to find it although I’m not sure how. But now that I’d shipped the MVP, my perfectionist tendencies were kicking back in.
The same friend who had initially challenged me to build this told me it was good enough and that he was going to post it on Product Hunt in a week. My immediate thought was, “it's not ready!”, but my gut knew and my friend knew that getting something out there fast, even if it didn’t feel polished, was the right move.
ReferCodes got a lot of great, friendly, early-adopter users who provided helpful feedback and it ended up being the #5 Product of the Day just behind Elon Musk’s Boring Company Flame Thrower.
