I think PH is your soft launch platform before you do a full blown launch - this community is about giving feedback - see it as a QA platform :p

Sure, it will help you to get first users, feedback and make sure it works stable before the PH luanch.

Yes, I believe that it's like a dress rehearsal that helps you iron out the kinks before stepping onto the big stage, and it lets you start building a buzz among users who are excited about what you're creating.

Should definitely try it. It gets you important feedback before the launch.

Definitely do it!

Hello, excitement! Brace yourself for the grand reveal of Cloodo WhatsApp CRM 2.0 on ProductHunt on January 20th! 🌟 Our teaser page is up, and we'd love for you to hit "Notify" and help us soar to the #1 position on launch day. Need support for your own launches? We're just a message away! Counting down the days to launch – it's going to be fantastic! 🔥

User feedback in the comments can really help boost your launch, so I think it's a solid take. Good luck on the Beta launch!

Can definitely help you get some more traffic to your launch in Feb. User feedback in the comments can really help boost your launch, so I think it's a solid take. Good luck on the Beta launch!

Yes. I'm gonna do a soft launch on reddit tomorrow and launch on PH next week. Where are you planning to do the soft launch Alessio?
@mahir_mahdi The Twitter #buildinpublic and #indiemakers folks are quite friendly. I haven't delved into indiemakers.com but I've been told they're very supportive too. Which subreddits are you soft launching in Mahir?

in general any opportunity to have people try the product is great, see it as further feedbacks and further testing of the developed features :)

hey @alessio_mavica that's a great thought to pre-launch. We did our publics launch months before Product Hunt and collected some audience and early adopters to support us on a big day. Were mostly running some social media engagements, lead magnets, starting discussions on reddit and some low-budget ads on Facebook to get us to around 3k people on a waitlist.

Yes. Do some open beta testing, acquire some early users, and get them to support the launch.

A big yes. Having some feedback in the bucket before actually going out in the market can help you clean up a lot of the stuff.

I think it's a great way to get some initial feedback and testing in 👍
