The "100 user" mark is monumental for first-time founders.
And we just passed it @ Discuro 🚀
Beyond happy, and very glad I made the leap to #buildinpublic and join the Twitter gang 🙏
At school, I wasn’t ‘smart enough’ to do the computing course.
Now look at me. Still not smart, but I get to code every everyday and it’s way more fun than that stupid class.
Development is for everyone and anyone who wants to learn. The only barrier is a laptop.
The best ideas come from the ones you come across while building something!
So, out of ideas? Build something for the fun of it, and see what you run into 🚀
- Working super hard on the wrong things takes you nowhere.
- Working even 2 hrs/day on the right things takes you places.
Direction is far more important than speed, talent or persistence.
Instead of overthinking your next SaaS idea - build a small SaaS factory.
→ Boilerplates
→ NPM Packages
→ Figma templates
→ Landing page starters
Every time you fail - you tear the project apart, isolate the reusable parts, and turn them into building blocks.
There's definitely more lessons in here, but I'm tired so will do a part 2 to cover everything else we learned from our Discuro launch.
If you got any level of value from this thread, give it a like please 🚀🙏
7/ Collect emails, and send feedback emails after first day or two.
So you now know HOW your users are consuming your app (step 6) - you also need to understand what they THINK of the app, and understand exactly how they plan to use it, or not...
6/ Do not be driven by your ProductHunt finishing place ❌
Focus on understanding EXACTLY how your new users are consuming your app.
Don't get lost in comparison world. You'll miss the jackpot of gold.
5/ Lot's of hype around AI on ProductHunt, Twitter, etc. 🚀
Although people say don't chase the hype...
I say chase it.
Anything to kickstart something - esp when you have nothing going up anyway.
Next project will also be AI-based...
4/ Document your ProductHunt launch on the day, and keep people updated!
This was a hard one because I also had work to contend with.
None the less keep everyone up to date and in the loop, keep generating alpha, be relentless for the day.
3/ Dev-to-dev tools/developer products are much easier to kickstart, and get traction from than B2B ✅
Developers are genuinely pretty friendly, and will give you great feedback in most cases (very honest as well) - they are a perfect market to experiment with.
2/ Instead of selling your product, show people what they can do with it.
People don't neccessarily know what they're going to build with Discuro - but you can get their mind ticking by showing basic use cases, and demo's, so we did that, and it worked quite well.
1/ If you've got < 300 followers, the backbone of your engagement / impressions will come as a result of relationships you've developed with other Twitter creators, rather than new viewers.
So, make sure you support them and their battles as well 🙏
Here's how the ProductHunt launch went:
- Over 50 users signed up to try out Discuro ✅
- 1000+ unique visitors to the website 📈
- Tons of great feedback 💬
- Only 1 bug reported thus far ❌
- Infra running super smooth, zero problems 😶🌫️
- Over 100+ executions ran already 🚀
