We chose to launch on Thursday (today!) and here's why: It’s important to consider your product's use case. HR software isn't as effective on a Friday when people are looking forward to their weekend plans. Conversely, we launched on a Thursday because it marks the beginning of weekend planning, and our users are in the right headspace to try out a beach planner. What works for one product may...

Hi Elif, what is the most valuable piece of consumer feedback you received from BeforeSunset AI's launch?

Focus on your "Why." We are naturally drawn to powerful and clear "Why" statements. Take Apple's "Why" for instance: "In everything we do, we believe in challenging the status quo. We believe in thinking differently." On the other hand, Dell has a more ambiguous "Why." Some might mistake Dell's "Why" for "we sell great computers." This confusion stems from an unclear "Why." This is the reason...

I'm intrigued by the concept of a tool that employs positive reinforcement for mindfulness practices. Have you ever considered integrating proprietary mindfulness instruction sessions into the app? Best wishes to you and your team for the future.

Congratulations on a cool tool! As the general public becomes increasingly aware of the importance of sleep for both short-term productivity and long-term health, this technology seems poised to take the wellness community by storm. Wishing you and your team all the best in the future.

As a news junkie myself, I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding the inevitable daily buildup of Google tabs we all endure. I also like that you can interface directly with the content through the app.

Congrats on a cool product! I love the fact that your UX makes time management visualization so intuitive for young users. It's an innovative way to create structure yet make it playful. I agree that it's important to instill these concepts in kids early on to combat how time-wasteful tablets can be. Wishing you and your team well in the future.

Callbird's instant meetings seem like a fantastic solution to a common problem in sales. I love the idea of reducing no-shows and maintaining customer interest. This is something at Sandee we spend a considerable amount of time on. The team notifications and free personalized URL are great touches. Congrats on the launch, looking forward to following this team.

Producthunt OS is a super helpful tool fits a niche I was thinking about recently. When preparing to launch my own product, Sandee.com, I found it sometimes irritating to compile all the necessary assets & copy for the launch to run smoothly and be manageable; the endless internal memos take up so much time! Wishing you and your team well in the future!
