@benjil@omnathpp I think there are ways you can combat the annoyingness - make it like twitter/dating apps where both parties need to accept/follow - could also limit the amount of messages someone can send in a day to incentivize real connection + reduce the spam
I feel like there's a lot that could be added to the teaser page. Like sending updates as the product is being built, having a place to view all the followers (maybe I missed it), having a way to ask for feedback etc. Basically making of Product Hunt a place for the "pre launch" and not just for the launch day.
