@rupgo As far as I know, PH allows a product to launch once every six months. Of course, if your product has significant updates/new features, you can email the PH team to explain apply for a special launch.
For us, the previous version of Trickle was an AI screenshot management tool, but this time it has been upgraded into an entirely new tool for building AI apps.
Launching soon!
Very impressive track record! ✨ Quick question about your very first launch. How did it go? And what did you learn that helped future launches succeed?

@karen_isbell Great question, Karen.
Hmm..I remember for our very first launch, we just read through the PH launch rules and went for it. We didn’t really do much prep beyond that.
But over time, we learned that it's really helpful to prepare teasers in advance and reach out to people in the community early on to build connections. That definitely made a big difference for our later launches!
Launching soon!
@victoria_wu Very helpful, thank you!
Congratulations, Victoria! 🎉 Your achievements with Trickle are truly impressive
What has been the biggest challenge you’ve faced while building and growing Trickle?

@jose_vitor2
Thanks, José! Great question.
I think Trickle has always had strong technical development capabilities, and we've always been focused on using AI to solve real pain points in people's work or daily lives.
So for us, the biggest challenge has been identifying those true user pain points and building a product that can effectively address them.
A lot of people see Product-Market Fit as a huge challenge, but I believe if you get the product right, PMF is just a matter of time:)
Wow, congrats on all the success with Trickle! 🎉 Hitting Product of the Day multiple times and being a Golden Kitty Awards runner-up is truly impressive.
question—how does Product Hunt impact your traffic? Have you seen a significant boost in new users or engagement from the platform? Also, any tips for a successful launch on Product Hunt would be amazing to hear!
It’s inspiring to see your team consistently delivering such great results. Rooting for you all! 🙌

@kwondy Thanks, Dongyoung. Good question! We’ve definitely seen a big impact from Product Hunt.
When we look at our Google Analytics dashboard, most of the traffic on launch day comes directly from PH. We also get a few thousand new subscribers right away. If there’re some newsletter share afterward, that traffic can keep going for at least another week.
So, keeping the momentum up after the launch is super important. As for tips, I’d say it's key to plan ahead, engage with the community early, and have a strong follow-up strategy to keep the buzz going!
@victoria_wu
Thanks for sharing your insights! It’s really impressive to see how much of an impact Product Hunt can have on launch day, especially in terms of traffic and new subscribers.
Great advice!
