About

Hi there! 👋 I'm a product maker with a big love for design. I'm drawn to products that blend creativity, fun, and practicality, and bringing such products to life is my passion.I take joy in paying attention to the smallest details and turning bright ideas into tangible realities. I've had my hand in a few pots, one of which is a little project known as ChatCoding. It's all about making coding more approachable and enjoyable.(Even though it's not officially launched on PH yet, you can have a taste of it on the App Store.) But really, it’s not about one project or product. It's about this journey I'm on - constantly creating, exploring, and learning. Keeping it simple, keeping it real, and always striving to do better - that's who I am.

🔥16 Best PH launch tips. What did I miss?

No hacks. Just hard work. 1. Be active on PH (support others, create discussions, comment on others' discussions). 2. Create your Coming Soon page. Share it on PH, Twitter, LinkedIn. 3. Be active on social media. Post about your PH launch. 4. Connect with people from PH on LinkedIn/Twitter. 5. Clean your launch day and the day after that. 6. Check your website and the onboarding process. 7. Check your welcome email sequence. 8. Engage in real-time. 9. Don't panic. Be ready for everything. The PH team didn t launch my products on time. 10. Make sure you can reach out to people who can support your product throughout the 24-hour launch day. 11. DM people on your launch day with a reminder. 12. Join relevant groups and chats. Support people there. 13. Track your progress with tools like hunted.space or Product Wars 2 14. Prepare social media posts, announcements for communities, emails. 15. If you have a team, assign responsibilities. 16. If you have investors/current customers or work with influencers, send them a reminder before and on your launch day Product Hunt Launch Playbook: https://olenabomko.gumroad.com/l...

Is herd mentality setting our voting trends post product launch?

Hey there, I've spotted an interesting pattern: product rankings seem to freeze about four hours after launch. Could this be due to 'herd mentality', where people usually follow and vote for the crowd's favorites? I think not revealing the ranks for the first four hours brings some fairness. But it seems this period heavily influences the final rankings. If a product doesn't quickly gain votes, it risks being overlooked due to reduced exposure and possible 'herd mentality'. This might not allow later products to be fairly evaluated. Anyone else notice this or think differently? Thanks for the insights!
