Vividly. It was great for two reasons:
- I got introduced to this PH community who welcomed me with wide arms, encouraged me, and supported me thought-out as if I were launching a groundbreaking tech lol. That is something I never forget.
- I came out of my comfort zone and went from idea to product in public. That gave me so much confidence as a first-time maker.

A few years ago I tried launching my app ColorSlurp in the middle of the day. I didn't know what I was doing, and it got a staggering 8 upvotes and disappeared forever. Later on somebody else hunted it and it became #4 product of the day. Live and learn lol
@realjordanellis - Lol, this is the funniest comment so far and also the most ironic experience. It was worth it, your product wasn't that insignificant, it was just a matter of timing π
Thanks for sharing!

My first launch on Product Hunt happened just a week ago with Klu AI π It was an amazing experience, from preparing the launch to the actual day of it.
We invested a lot of time and effort into preparing for the launch, but nothing could have prepared us for the power of community. As it turns out, building and nurturing a supportive and engaged community around our product was the key to success. Our community rallied around us and helped Klu AI get to the #3 spot for product of the day. It was an inspiring reminder that when we put in the work to connect with and empower others, the possibilities are endless!
Oh yeah, I still remember when Klu was launched just 8 days ago and your product ranked 3rd and 4th on the weekly ranking, that's amazing!
You have such an incredible community, with over 500 comments (included mine). π
I just want to say that it's awesome how you stay close to your community and provide them with great tools to support their personal and professional growth.
Thank you for sharing your experience, you did an incredible job on the launch. Cheers to your success @patricia_botic!
going to be doing my first launch in about one month! very excited.
@joshuafreeland - Glad to hear that, I wish you success with your launch and feel free to come back here and share your teaser when it's ready (if it's not already)!
