📌 We're pushing launch by a week — here's why (and how you can already try it)!
Hey everyone!
We were ready to launch this week, but we decided to delay the official launch by seven days. We didn't hit a wall; we want Aera Vibe to feel right from day one. This is especially true on mobile devices.
This week, we're doing something radical. We're testing it as real users, on real devices, in real homes. This helps us find and fix problems, and improve the experience.
But here's the fun part:
🟢 You can sign up now.
🧠 You can already create your visual taste profile.
🏡 You can already compare it to real interiors.
💬 You can tell us if something feels off or magical.
We believe in building with the community, not just for the community. If you're reading this, you're early, and we're listening. I love it! ❤️
Tell us what you try, what you love, and what you'd change.
We'll be back next week with a version that's ready for the public.
But for now, it's already real, and that's something to celebrate! Come play! 🌟💫✨

Where do you find your potential clients and reach out to them (respectively, what kind of channels do you use?
@skovalev Interesting, have you ever targeted your ads on other "house-based/accommodation" platforms, like Booking, Airbnb, or platforms for décor inspiration? (e.g. Pinterest)
@skovalev To be honest, deco and housing are not my main topics, I just remember how big the boom was with AR a few years back, so people could try to see how things fit in their rooms. :)
@skovalev Do you have AR options as well? :D
@skovalev Cool, how could we test it? :D
I think delaying the launch until you feel it is the right time makes a lot of sense.
I know pete and tosh also thought about launching Findable a bit earlier because they weren't sure the sign up flow ux was good enough.
So they re-modeled everything so that users can try the product immediately from the landing page and pushed the launch back a bit to today.
Findable is now #2 🏆 of the day (https://www.producthunt.com/products/findable-3) which is great.
But what I personally find even better is that the landing page now makes getting started super easy and that helps for early adopters here on Product Hunt but it also helps all other users who find the landing page.
So in the end deferring the launch for a bit to get everything ready was I think worth it.
That said: don't push launches back too far. How is the saying? If you aren't embarrassed a little bit by v0.1 you aren't shipping fast enough.
Kudos for sharing your story with us. Can totally relate!
Hello.
What is this?
@skovalev definitely interesting — would be great if you allowed importing a Pinterest board, since I already collected my interior taste over there!
Product looks amazing mate. Just few cents from my side, being a fullstack web dev:
I'd suggest adding a few more details to your landing page. Right now, it's simple CTA. Perhaps, you could add few examples, how it works etc. No doubt the CTA is amazing and people will definitely wanna try it out but once they hit the `Analyze` button, in my opinion, they'd be in the dark and ask themselves what to do next.
Other than that, it's really amazing.
@skovalev Definitely. Would like to try this product out once it's out!
