#1 position on Product Hunt! - 300 users in 3 hrs!
by Peter VuWhat a time to read more books! I'm so glad that summerian.net was hunted by @alexanderisora and featured #1 on Product Hunt! ๐ฅ ๐๐ฟ
It was quite a ride actually. We got hunted quite late, the app was posted at 00:30 PST and was about 20 upvotes behind the chart leader. For the next 2 hours, we slowly climbed to the top as people were flooding in organically :D
I feel so emotional after today's launch. Summerian is on another level when compared to Habitify (which is my first, official indie project).
For each summary to be polished and published, it will require a reader, a proofreader, a designer, a coder, an audio-maker, a marketer and a customer supporter. The total cost was over $50 per summary (even more), which eats up the budget so dramatically that I again had a hard time sustaining the whole project until this launch day ๐ญ
Drop by and let me know your thoughts about the product, will you? We're having around 300 readers at the moment, and I'm thinking of making a community for you to share your knowledge ๐

Wow - on fire lately! Just a heads up, that it looks like all the summary items on https://summerian.net/ are showing "Psychology" right now underneath "Open your eyes...". I assume those headers should differ? Can't add a screenshot, but refreshed a few times.

I like that your summaries actually convey some useful information to readers? When you started that business as on the site it says "2013-2018 Summerian", Are you running this since 2013?

Oh no! It's my mistake. Let me change it!

Nice to hear that you have a successful launch! We also did our product hunt launch 4 weeks ago. What really helped us boost the ranking was to get everyone you know on board to upvote your product. With that, we achieved over 500 upvotes and also generated more than 500 sign-ups.

You need to do some minor improvements in the homepage design.

Hello @ankitchouhan, could you be more specific? Which one do you think I should prioritize now?

SVGs are not clickable so change the mouse pointer there. In owl-carousel change mouse pointer to hand.

Heads up, your landing pages breaks a little on large displays:

Congrats! ๐ฅ
Note that there is a small issue on the homepage, the
Summaries, redefined.text is invisible as it has the same color as the background.-

Since we bootstrap ourselves, we are not having an abundant budget to spend on advertising. Our plan is to focus on SEO and organic growth ;)
