Product Hunt as the go-to spot for DevTools launches?

We just rolled out Rig.dev on Github and its own site, and we're on the lookout for more beta testers. It's this cool open-source platform for Kubernetes. I'm kinda on the fence about gearing up for a PH launch. Got any advice or stories about the payoff from launching a DevTool on PH? Oh, and if you can spare a minute, the team and I would be stoked for any support here: https://github.com/rigdev/rig Cheers!

@niklasrefnov hi Niklas 👋 I've spent the last few years working in dev-first, open-source companies, experimenting with various channels for product launches. what worked best from my experience:
  • - Product Hunt;
  • - Hacker News;
  • - TechCrunch.
for further inspiration, I found these related Discussions really insightful: hope it helps!

Hey @nuntio_niklas, as someone who uses Kubernetes on a daily basis and spends time exploring Product Hunt, I would recommend that you launch your product here. You might receive some valuable feedback and gain new users as well. I just checked out your website and I will test it out. I'll let you know my thoughts and feedback.
