Building to beat Product Hunt

[Bowora @bowora_com]

@Bonk_Tools #644 with no audience is a normal PH result, not a verdict on the product. the help pages idea is the strong one on that list, people searching for a fix at 2am are the best users you'll get

[Bowora @bowora_com]

@0hr_maker https://t.co/VtxtpjZIOF, a founder network and startup directory. free profile, real reviews, and a weekly board where a star is 1 point and a review is 3

[Bowora @bowora_com]

@bv_codes what i see work best is finding people already complaining about the problem, on reddit or here, and just helping them with no link. a few ask what you're building, and those turn into your first users

[Bowora @bowora_com]

@anupamrjp https://t.co/VtxtpjZIOF. trying to give every small startup a page that keeps working after launch day, with reviews and a weekly ranking. you can claim https://t.co/WRKpDGv2wj too

[Bowora @bowora_com]

@morgancacm "google already does this" gets said about almost everything that ends up working. 23 users in 5 days is real signal. i'd message a few of them and ask why they signed up, their answer matters way more than the comments

@sridharfyi building https://t.co/VtxtpjZIOF, a startup directory where your page sticks around after threads like this scroll away. free with a badge, and the weekly board resets every sunday

[Bowora @bowora_com]

@leo_mercerr 12 new followers is still 12 people who chose to watch you build. with dec 1 locked in, i'd put up a waitlist for the voice agent now so launch day isn't starting from zero

[Bowora @bowora_com]

two favorites from the "what are you building" thread, as promised:

Snore Heist by @Tybez01, a one thumb stealth game where a raccoon robs a vault while a dragon-pug snores on it

Screenshots Clipboard by @mk76882430, full page screenshots you can paste all at once, in order

[Bowora @bowora_com]

@AvinashSingh_20 building bowora, a founder network and startup directory. list your startup free, collect reviews, and see if you can top the weekly board. https://t.co/VtxtpjZIOF

[Bowora @bowora_com]

@Dearilias honestly the most reliable one i've seen is communities where your users already ask for help. not dropping links, just answering questions well for a few weeks. people click your profile on their own once you've helped them a couple times

[Bowora @bowora_com]

@Joi2James https://t.co/VtxtpjZIOF, so your startup has a page that keeps getting found after launch day. free listing, reviews, weekly board. grab your username too: https://t.co/VrLRYtks7B

[Bowora @bowora_com]

@0xMas0n finding your first users, easily. bugs get fixed in a day once someone actually hits them, but if nobody is waiting on launch day the polish doesn't matter much. start a waitlist now and talk to the people on it

[Bowora @bowora_com]

@anupamrjp https://t.co/VtxtpjZIOF, a startup directory where your page sticks around after launch and climbs a weekly board from stars and reviews. free with a badge, would love to see some of the products in here on it

[Bowora @bowora_com]

@leo_mercerr day 32 with 0 users is way more normal than people admit. one thing that usually helps: get 5 people from your target group on a call and watch them try it. you learn more in an hour than a week of sprint planning

[Bowora @bowora_com]

@Sujay__Raj building https://t.co/VtxtpjZIOF, a home for your startup after launch day. free profile, reviews, and a weekly board anyone can win. you can also grab your own https://t.co/WRKpDGv2wj at https://t.co/VrLRYtks7B

[Bowora @bowora_com]

@Sherifdeenolat2 what usually works with zero budget: pick one place your users already hang out and be genuinely useful there for a few weeks before you mention the app. answer questions, share what you learned building it. slow, but it compounds way more than random posting

[Bowora @bowora_com]

directories that only live for your launch day are a trap.

you want a page that still shows up next month when someone googles your category. that's the whole idea behind bowora.

@hakimuddinkika https://t.co/VtxtpjZIOF, so the projects in this thread still have a page next month. you can claim your own https://t.co/WRKpDGv2wj while you're there

@dev_coma tip from watching a lot of these threads: ask matches what they did last week, not what they plan to build. people who shipped something small on a sunday tend to still be shipping in month three
