My favorite personal story is from 2014 for a product I launched. Er, actually I didn't launch it, someone hunted me after seeing a post I made on Reddit. I was freaking out a bit because my phone was blowing up with payments and notifications, and at the time, I was on vacation with my family. It was my first real success as an entrepreneur and led to many greater things. I'll never forget the excitement of reaching for my phone to check the news when I woke up and realizing I was the #1 app and I didn't even mean to launch! This is video is from a bit earlier in my current startup journey, but I share more details on how this happened here: https://youtu.be/8WdFVITM5zQ?t=25

My favourite launch of the year was done by the team at Sessions.app. I followed them closely, and saw how they constantly were omnipresent, reaching out external for support, creating campaigns for those who sign up and interacting with their own community providing updates.

The strangest story I have is when I first got on PH, I loved the Building in Progress pages e.g. https://www.producthunt.com/upco... And I was so excited about them that I told my co-founder to get on it the next day. But then he was having trouble creating one and messaged me "yo I don't see anything about how to create a building in progress page." Turns out, that night, PH announced they were sunsetting the feature -___- So I realized I was probably the last person ever to have that feature! I thought it was crazy lol
