Ask HN: Any learnings from launching on Product Hunt?

2 mightymosquito 0 9/11/2025, 6:08:04 PM

Hey folks! I’ve started a small blog+directory that focuses on early stage founders and their stories about getting traction and validation.

I am thinking of launching it on Product hunt in the coming week. This is my first time doing this so trying to wing it!!

do you folks have any advice or tips that were useful to you and think I could benefit from?

Thanks!!
