We're excited to launch Binko Chat on ProductHunt tomorrow! Binko is an AI-powered chat app that understands slang and cultural context, offering real-time translations.
From casual chats with international friends to remote work collaborations. Enabling seamless communication across languages, just like texting a friend in your native tongue.
On day one of the App Store we were able to launch with 2,000 downloads! - Ask me anything and i'll be happy to share our strategy and help those launching soon.

Q1: How long did you spend from the idea to this stage?
Q2: How much time was spent on marketing/promotion?
Q3: How did you promote the app to get 2000 iOS downloads?
Q4: How much time was spent on building features vs. fixing bugs?

1) Ideation was over a span of a few months. Lots went into market research, thesis validation, product viability, and more.
2) It was about a few weeks of marketing prep before doing major marketing pushes.
3) The prep included finding the communities we wanted to target. Where does our target audience spend most of their time. Which communities have strong conversion rates. Then building within those communities prior to our launch.
Some examples of niche groups would be twitter group chats, local communities, communities built by friends/family.
Working with content creators catered to your audience is also very beneficial
4) I would say almost equal. The core product of course has to work very well and at the same time retention features are required. It all comes down to evenly creating that priority list catered to both sides.

Your app seems like a great idea to me, but I see it more as a plugin to use in discord, slack and telegram. Sounds like a great job to me. Cheer up with the launch! 👍🚀
Excited to share this launch with everyone!
We would love to collaborate with anyone if they have new cool features they would like to see!

Great work well done 👏
Is this using an API, or is this your own model?
Are you thinking of making this a ChatGPT plugin (https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt-...)?

Hey! Congrats on the launch. Have never built an app or managed one through the app store so maybe this question isn't answerable, however: How many downloads are you able to attribute to organic discovery through the app store?
@carter_barnett Organic discovery within the app store is more about prep. It's primarily done through ASO or getting featured. We made sure our ASO was competitive with the keywords for our niche. Branding/design of course matter too.
Getting featured happens by continuing momentum. Apple loves good apps and growth so having strong momentum will help you sit well on the app store.
We're soon to be touching into ads, but most of our reach has been from outside marketing.
