Our accidental checklist for landing #3 on producthunt.comA month ago explored on how to get on to top 10 list of the day on Product Hunt. From our research and from one of the team members experience, we ended with a very big checklist of to-do’s to be in the top 10 list on Product Hunt. It seemed an exhaustive list and we decided we will do it after a couple of months because it needs deliberate planning and effort. You can find a lot of these checklists on the Internet.Yesterday, we ended up on the №3 Position in product hunt with 640+ upvotes(and still counting) from all across the world.

0 to $1 Million in 5 Months for our Cryptocurrency Startup. Lessons learned.“What if we have too many users?”A question we naively asked before we launched our product. I think there is always some underlying hope that this will actually be the case and therefore we orient ourselves to consider and think about it. To that end, after much deliberation, we built a safeguard in the product that would allow us to “turn” off sign ups in the event we were overloaded with users. It read something like this:Due to the high volume of signups. Ember Fund is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.Unfortunately, we didn’t get to put this error message to use…We spent the better part of 2018 working soul-crushing nights and weekends to build this app and it all led up to our big Product Hunt launch (...)

Winds started out as a simple example app for Stream, but thanks to an outpouring of support from our awesome community we decided to focus more time and energy on the project. The initial response around Winds 2.0 has exceeded all of our expectations. Since launching in mid-May the application ranked #1 on Hacker News for over a day, has 5,500 stars (and counting) on Github and became a trending app on Product Hunt.Going into it, there was no way to anticipate how popular Winds 2.0 would become — would it be an absolute hit or an epic failure and waste of time?? The team enjoys building example apps so I knew it wouldn’t be a total loss, and it’s been rewarding to see this new iteration being used so extensively in the first month after release.The tech stack for Winds is completely (...)

It should be the other way around.”So Jason started charging companies to wear their t-shirts, and made over a million dollars over the next few years.I started to dig a little deeper into Jason’s story: He ended up shutting things down in 2012, after some very successful years, to move on with his life.Because I am on Product (...)

Yesterday, my co-founder and I put together the “Museum of Websites” to showcase the evolution of popular websites. Since we’re both front-end design lovers, it was fun to put the project together and inspiring to see the humble beginnings of today’s tech giants. In this post, I’ll share three learnings from browsing the historical design trends of the web’s most popular landing pages.One: More media and bigger imagesAs the world has moved towards smaller screens, websites have made their images larger. Increasingly, media (images and video) take up more real estate than text. See Reddit, Product Hunt, Amazon.Two: Banner adsHaving a single splash ad across the top of the website, usually with visuals and color, seems to be an increasingly popular design choice.

On March 6th, Tuesday I launched Longcaller on Product Hunt and got 3 upvotes, one of them is mine. Oh, well.There are not so many stories about failed PH launches. After having a failed launch, I think I know why.The first reason is obvious. There are stories of fails, but no one reads them. Because people don’t like to read about losers. Because fails are not motivating. And while this is partially true, I think that tells only part of the story. I myself prefer to read fail stories, because they feel more realistic and because they help to deal with survivorship bias better.The second reason is that after a failed launch you feel miserable. You hate everything. You want to die. “Why did I started it anyway?” In this mood, the last thing you want to do is to write about it. Even after (...)

Why There Are No New Social Networks – The Ringer
▻https://theringer.com/social-media-invention-facebook-twitter-snapchat-tech-e40178df183

“Social apps are now focused on messaging, and certainly it’s a vibrant area of innovation and advancement,” Blau told me. “So I wouldn’t say that all social apps are stagnating.” Maybe the copycat cycle will just push us away from public-facing social apps altogether and into private messaging, an arguably more inventive (and in some cases, nicer) space. It seems that the only time someone is able to create a new social network, it’s by accident. Venmo is not a social app — at least, it wasn’t intended to be. The PayPal-owned payment system was launched as a dead simple way to share money, complete with a few lighthearted features like emoji and a real-time feed of users’ transactions. This feed ultimately became a sort of social network within the app: It fuels FOMO, forces us to consider the financial side of dating, and even acts as a window into modern drug culture.

Venmo didn’t set out to be a better Twitter or a Facebook alternative; it took a fact of daily life that wasn’t all that interesting and certainly not very “social,” and created new digital communication behaviors. It was accidentally inventive.

Product Hunt’s social editor and writer, Niv Dror, says there’s something else keeping this market stagnant. “Once an app becomes significant enough to pose a threat to the big players, they either get acquired or significantly handicapped by a competitive feature or restricted access,” he told me via email. He cites Meerkat, a huge 2015 hit I’d nearly forgotten about, which was one of the originating apps in the now-ubiquitous livestreaming trend. Dror worked at Meerkat until the app was forced to shutter. “On my second day working at Meerkat, Twitter decided to cut off our access to the social graph (since they acquired Periscope), which really hurt us in the long run.”
