Bucket DX - 24 hours on Product Hunt

by

Hello, world!


We launched Bucket DX on Product Hunt last Tuesday. We ranked #7 Product of the Day and are currently #3 Developer Tool of the Week.


Here's a recap of how it went, hour by hour.


For context:

# 12:01:AM:PST — going live


Step 1: getting featured. Done!


For the first 4 hours of the day, @Product Hunt hides upvotes and sorts the homepage randomly. This should give products "a more distributed chance at exposure early."


# 02:16:AM:PST — new milestone: 100 upvotes


Product Hunt is a great place for developer tools to launch.


It helps raise awareness, get feedback, and collect testimonials — the type of materials you can reuse later on for your marketing purposes.


Take this comment from @dima_grossman, CTO and Co-founder of @Novu, for example.

The DX is just out of this world. If you're not using Bucket in your project, you are missing out. — Dima Grossman, CTO of Novu

# 04:01:AM:PST — we're currently #7!


We're currently #7 Product of the Day, with 124 upvotes and 25 comments.


# 05:42:AM:PST — new milestone: 148 upvotes


We just surpassed Releases that we launched in February 2024. We're still #7 Product of the Day.


# 10:07:AM:PST — new milestone: 200 upvotes


We're currently #7 Product of the Day and just reached 200 upvotes. 31 more upvotes to go and surpass Flags that we launched in November 2024.


# 08:56:PM:PST — new milestone: 231 upvotes


We just surpassed Flags that we launched in November 2024. We're still #7 Product of the Day.


@amanintech, CTO and Co-founder of @Lamatic.ai, left this comment:

Feature flagging is challenging and Bucket makes it incredibly developer-friendly. — Aman Sharma, CTO of Lamatic.⁠ai

# 11:59:PM:PST — wrapping up


That's a wrap!


Results:

S/O to the @Novu and @Tinybird teams who ranked in the Top 10, respectively #4 and #10 👏👏


# Final thoughts

Launching keeps reminding the market that your company exists and you’re making progress. — Karri Saarinen, CEO of Linear in Linear Method

This launch was Bucket's fourth launch on Product Hunt and is part of Bucket's first-ever launch week — a week of announcing new features.


Launching on Product Hunt as a developer tool definitely works. It pays off in the long term. We keep launching.


Oh and we're currently #3 Developer Tool of the Week! Join the launch here.
