What is your main goal with this launch? 🚀 :)

What has been the most difficult thing in creating a SaaS from the scratch? (compared to developing an existing software).
Kim Salmi
@ichibanpasi I think it has been easier to build on a greenfield project than on an existing product. One extremely difficult thing has definitely been prioritization. We have had many great ideas but it really boils down to focusing narrowly on the things that brings your customers the value they need.

Congrats on your launch!! What lead to your decision of launching a google meet at the same time? Was that something you saw other producthunt launches do? Pretty unique IMO! 🎉
Kim Salmi
@joannakurylo Thank you! @arttuhaho can tell more about the stream idea, since I’m not sure where it came from. The stream itself was quite fun, we had a lot of our customers and also some former employees hopping on to say hi 🎉
Arttu Haho
@joannakurylo @infr We had nice party going in our main office and then we thought that how could we get all the new and old customers to join us. I think that is how the idea started to develop. It was super fun especially for our employees who didn't have chance to visit office (like me) and we also got a lot of our alumnies to join stream. I would have hoped more customers to join so maybe we need to develop idea further next time.
