Post-Product Hunt update π
Still processing everything from our Product Hunt launch⦠what a ride.
Huge thanks to everyone who supported Hello Aria β every upvote, comment & share meant a lot β€οΈ
Weβve learned a ton along the way β from what worked (multi-platform support really resonated) to mistakes weβre already fixing. Building in public keeps you humble π
Since launch, weβve been pushing fast:
β Improving reliability across WhatsApp, Telegram, Email & now iOS
β Listening closely to every piece of feedback
And speaking of iOSβ¦
π± Hello Aria is now live on iOS
To celebrate, weβre offering 3 months free π

@mahanot_dikshit the ratio of devs who built a todo app for their portfolio vs devs who actually use a todo app regularly is... something π
if you just want one that works without building it yourself: HelloAria does reminders + todos on iOS β https://t.co/aYFJu21GXW
5/ Pricing was the scariest decision I made.
I charged $9/mo from day one. Some people left.
The ones who stayed became my best customers β and the loudest word-of-mouth.
Free users give you vanity metrics. Paying users give you signal. β
4/ I personally DM'd or called 50 users in the first month.
That feedback loop is why the product didn't die. They told me what they hated. I fixed it. Repeat.
Most founders skip this. Most founders fail. β
What actually kills most early-stage startups?
A) Wrong market
B) Built too much, shipped too late
C) Founder burnout
D) Couldn't get first 100 paying users
Drop your answer π (genuinely curious β building HelloAria taught me something surprising about this)
I went from debugging robot arms at NYU to building an AI app used by 30k people.
Nobody warns you that the hardest part isn't the code.
It's convincing yourself the thing you're building is worth finishing.
The best AI productivity hack isn't using more tools.
It's knowing which 3 decisions today actually move the needle β and letting AI handle everything else.
Focus is still the scarce resource.
HelloAria is currently #4 in @Vercel Day on @ProductHunt β top 5 wins $30K in Vercel credits and an interview with Vercel Ventures.
161 upvotes so far. Need to hold top 5.
If HelloAria has resonated with you β voice-noting tasks from a parking lot, turning meeting chaos into clean action items, or just ending the "5 apps for 1 thing" madness β this is the moment.
30 seconds. One upvote. Real stakes.
