Show HN: FirstUser – Exchange reviews for your product launches

1 sgraphics8 0 8/14/2025, 6:37:01 PM firstuser.app ↗

I’ve launched on Product Hunt several times, and while it’s great for exposure, I noticed most launches get very little actionable feedback. That’s frustrating when you’ve spent weeks or months building something.

I built FirstUser as a feedback exchange for makers. You review other launches, earn “Karma” points, and spend them to get thoughtful reviews on your own launch. Each Karma point = 1 guaranteed review.

It works before, during, and after launch day, and there’s a one-click import for pulling your PH listing into the site.

Would be interested to hear your thoughts on: * How to ensure reviews stay high-quality? Right now theres 150 char minimum and app owners can give +3 Karma for helpful reviews. Both should motivate reviewers to be more thorough. * What other use cases you’d want this for beyond launches? * Any other ideas on how to get real meaningful feedback on product launches? Something I could incorporate.

Find it at https://firstuser.app and its free to use.
