| How to avoid fuckups when launching on Product Hunt Posted: 07 Jan 2021 01:25 PM PST Hi everyone, We're preparing to release our app on Product Hunt in a month or so, and it will be my first experience of this kind. I have made my homework, googling guides on "how to", and now I have a general understanding of the volume of work to be done within the preparation period. But I think it is always useful to get some hints from those who have personal experience about what should I specifically keep in mind and pay attention to in order to avoid fuckups. Yesterday I was talking with my friend who launched his product on PH last autumn and failed. He gave me a few pieces of very relevant advice, that I didn't see in the internet. Like: posting our app in online startup communities, collecting feedback and starting discussion BEFORE the PH launch. And then reaching our to people who like it asking to support us. He also advised to contact PH influencers and hunters, that liked or hunted similar apps, and ask their feedback regarding ours. To make it shorter: I know that many of you had this experience in the past and launched your products on PH. I'll appreciate it a lot if you can share some personal piece of advice on what you did wrong and what should I pay special attention to. Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!

| Meeting with an app publisher tomorrow, what are some red flags to look out for? Posted: 07 Jan 2021 08:18 AM PST Generally, what to look out in publisher pitches to you? I am actually meeting with one tomorrow and from your experience if you have, what are some red flags, or positives when it comes to what they may offer. This is my first meeting with one so I'm mostly very open-minded. Just don't wanna get rekt essentially. I have pretty good common sense, but perhaps there are aspects that get abused often. It is a mobile game we are attempting to get published just to be more specific. EDIT: what do app publishers do? They don't put it up on the App Store, we handle that our selves. They essentially help provide for outreach and getting the game "out there". By means of marketing support and other. Then they would get a cut of the game's profits for helping the game grow. They potentially provide funding as well. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Jan 2021 01:56 AM PST Ok, so suppose I talked to a ton of users, I understand their problem and I have come up with a potential solution. But how do I validate that this is the solution that they are willing to pay for. From what I learned from YC videos and different posts just asking them a hypothetical question like: 'If I build X that will help you solve this problem, will you pay' is bad. So what's your advice on how I should go about it? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Have startups changed what they solve over the last 10 years? Posted: 07 Jan 2021 11:54 PM PST I feel like 10-15 years ago, startups solved basic needs and problems, while today they just improve what's already existent. Here's how I feel it was 10-15 years ago: Connect between a certain type of people over a certain type of way? Facebook, pinterest, snapchat, reddit etc. Digitize a marketplace? Uber, fiverr, ebay, amazon etc. Need to do something on your phone? Flashlight app, calculator app etc. Now however it seems like there's an app and a SaaS for almost everything. So alot of new startups seem to be "improvements" like some "cloud native decantralized *insert buzz word* " that makes facebook faster by 5%. Or a SaaS that helps you build a certain part of your SaaS but without code. As a result I think the environment has gotten much more complex to understand. Everyone can understand the premise of Uber or Instacart. But only engineers can make sense of all these "cloud" startups. It seems like the time for when your average joe could come up with a viable idea for a software company is over. Sure there are startups today that do a new thing instead of improving something that exists. But they are not entirely software driven (drones, bio-tech etc). What do you think? [link] [comments]  |
| Need help with constantly changing prices Posted: 07 Jan 2021 12:01 PM PST Hi Everyone, I've recently been working on a new project that involves constantly changing prices similarly to the stock market. I would love for it to work similarly to robinhood however it won't be trading stocks but instead other things. The issue is I have no idea how to go about creating an app/webapp like this. Any advice would be appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
