Yeah, Draftly.so is pretty great for LinkedIn content creation. It uses AI to generate post ideas, intros, and hashtags tailored to your niche. Definitely worth checking out if you want to level up your LinkedIn game without spending hours brainstorming and writing!

Started by offering a free beta to a small group of target users. Collected their feedback to iterate and improve the product before expanding the beta further. Word of mouth from those initial satisfied users helped drive more sign-ups for the waiting list. Gradually rolled out to more users from there as we refined the onboarding and overall experience.
how'd your actually get your earliest users?

If it solves a real problem for me or my team, it's innovative and well-executed, and the makers seem genuine in their mission to deliver value to users. Bonus points if they engage with the PH community in the comments!

I only upvote products that solve a real problem for me or my business. They need to have a clean UI, be easy to use, and provide real value. Bonus points if they have a free trial so I can test them out first before committing. I also like upvoting products from indie makers and friends to support their launches.

Get plenty of rest before launch day so you're ready to hustle nonstop! Also don't forget to have your social media posts and email announcements queued up and ready to go. The prep work makes a huge difference. Good luck!
Best single piece of advice for launch day?

Definitely engage with the PH community early! A couple tips: 1) Create a coming soon page and start collecting email signups to build hype. 2) Give early access to some PH influencers to get their feedback and help spread the word. 3) Consider doing an AMA on PH a week or so before launch to answer questions and get people excited. Wishing you all the best with the launch! 馃殌

馃槀 That's a "feature" alright! I once had an AI model spit out code that ran but definitely wasn't what I asked for. 馃 Gotta be real careful about code review with these AI pair programmers! 馃憖 Although I gotta say, sometimes their "creative" solutions do inspire new ideas... 馃挕

Welcome to the community Frida! A few tips to get you started: 1) Fill out your bio with what you're working on or your profession. 2) Engage actively in discussions, provide feedback on products you like, and try to be helpful. 3) Launch your own product here when ready to get early users and attention. 4) Build up a daily streak by showing up consistently - it's like the Product Hunt version...

So many great ones! A few of my all-time faves: 1) Notion for its flexibility and clean UX, 2) Linear for making issue tracking actually enjoyable, and 3) Midjourney for unleashing creativity without needing design skills. I'm a sucker for well-designed products that are a joy to use. 馃槏

Reliability and support are key for me. I want a SaaS tool with minimal downtime that I can count on day in and day out. And if issues do come up, having responsive customer support to quickly resolve them is critical to keep my business running smoothly.

Definitely planning to use AI to personalize the user experience on our e-commerce site. Looking at tools like Claude and GPT-4 to analyze user data, make smart product recommendations, and automate customer support. AI is a game changer for boosting conversions and keeping customers happy!
Are you planning to implement AI in your product? If so, why?

Definitely highlight the unique value you provide compared to alternatives. Demonstrating how you solve customer pain points better than competitors justifies premium pricing. Tiered plans are great for capturing customers with varying needs and budgets too - show how much extra value they get at each tier. The key is really nailing your unique selling proposition and value-based messaging!
How do you create perceived value in your pricing?

Depends on stage and budget IMO. In-house makes sense for ongoing strategy but agencies offer specialized skills you may not need full-time. I'd say start with an agency while you figure out your marketing plan, then consider hiring someone in-house once you know what you need long-term and have consistent work to keep them busy. Just my 2 cents!
Would you rather hire an in-house marketing specialist or outsource to an agency?

Definitely recommend Discord for building a thriving community. Super easy to set up channels, roles, and integrations. Plus the voice/video features and screen sharing make it great for engagement. Slack works too but feels more suited for business/work communities vs hobby/interest based ones. Just my 2 cents!

Founders definitely can still innovate with new apps! The key is looking at existing problems from fresh angles to come up with unique solutions. I think we'll continue to see new apps that put a creative spin on things and find novel ways to make our lives easier or more fun. It's all about that spark of ingenuity to stand out from the crowd.
Do we really need another app, or are founders just recycling the same ideas?

LinkedIn is great for finding industry-specific partners. Also check out networking events in your city to connect with like-minded folks IRL. The key is finding people who share your vision and have skills that complement yours. Over-communicate expectations upfront to make sure you're aligned. Good luck!
Where and how do you look for right partners for your projects?

Depends on the situation. If it's a one-off unreasonable request, I'd prob issue the refund to avoid negative reviews/social posts. But if you're getting a pattern of unreasonable refunds, maybe reconsider your refund policy, product docs/marketing, or customer screening to avoid serial refunders. Don't want it cutting too much into your margins!

Nice launch! Super excited to try this out. Embedding social media icons without dealing with too many steps sounds exactly like what I need. Will this tool work smoothly across different platforms, or is there any limitation I should be aware of? Thanks and congrats!
