Hey new here :) but confused

Hey guys I'm a coder, developer and a marketing manager of my product Docmate. I'm a bit confused as it's still in it's beta phase. So, anyone can suggest me that is it a suitable option to launch it here on Product hunt? Also i still don't have a website yet so how's that possible to launch it.

Looking to all the possible suggestions 🙂

Hey Tim, welcome! Totally get the confusion — launching on PH can feel a bit murky at first.

You can launch a product that’s in beta — lots of makers do, as long as there’s something people can try or sign up for. It’s actually a great way to get early feedback.

As for the website: it doesn’t need to be perfect. Even a simple landing page or waitlist with a clear explanation of what Docmate does is enough. Just make sure people know what they’re looking at and what action to take (sign up, request access, etc).

Feel free to share a draft or ask for feedback — happy to help!

Any update?

Launching soon!

@tim_bou As i am also new here Tim I will follow your post, I am sure some of the advanced users will respond, but if your product is ready then crack on with that website and get it listed with your launch, I have just noticed that I now have a "Launching Soon" badge on my posts here, so that super helpful for self promoting here.

PH community is friendly and it's cool to launch here.

Hey Tim, welcome! Glad to have you and excited for you to launch. Contrary to the comments, we typically recommend launching once your product is fully ready. Beta testing on Product Hunt is okay, but your launch won't be featured if it's in beta or on a waitlist. If you decide to relaunch once it's fully ready, you'll also be under our relaunch guidelines, which details a 6-month waiting period before launching again. Hope that helps, but feel free to reach out over hello@producthunt.com or our chat option. The team's happy to help!
