We launched the Rownd Data Privacy Platform on PH

When our platform was in a state where we felt like it could take a good amount of trial users we signed up for our main Rownd data privacy platform ( https://www.producthunt.com/posts/rownd-data-privacy-platform#) to be "Hunted" on ProductHunt by Chris Messina, the worlds #1 Product Hunter. Our first experiment - launching Privacy Hunt showed us the value his engagement could deliver. If you want to schedule Chris M to hunt your product you can do so on his site https://chrismessina.me/hunt-me

Anyhow, this launch was a bit more challenging than the last one. Seems others were able to game the algorithm, we def. saw their numbers jump up and down with what seems likely to have been bot added content.

We encouraged input and feedback from friends and colleagues from Twitter and LinkedIn but we never paid for it, and it seems kinda unclear exactly how to win in the daily popularity contest there. Lots of folks have ideas.

Its definitely worth doing as an exercise - it just may take more work for us to get it dialed in. We plan to launch features there as we release them - when they're big enough.
