@hello_code_ Thankfully that's a mistake people only make once. We've all been there!
A few things I've learned along the way: Most startups don't die because the idea was bad. They die because nobody checked if anyone wanted it. One good customer conversation is worth a week of building. You're not pitching. You're listening. Don't measure signups. Measure retention, activation, usage frequency. Signups lie. Behavior doesn't. Growth rarely comes from a big launch. ProductHunt spikes fade. Consistency compounds. The founders who win aren't always the smartest. They kept going. They kept adjusting. The only way to lose is to stop.
@IHutchens29524 Searching for demand for your solution online, then doing validation interviews with potential future customers
@heyjainam Starts with knowing your target customers and positioning well
Building is maybe 20% of the job Getting people to care is 80% Most founders have this backwards
@abesolyman Asking the right validation questions is such an underrated skill
"Would you use this?" is useless "Walk me through the last time you had this problem" is gold
I'd agree on it not being a "core" marketing channel, but doesn't mean its not a "good" one for certain stage companies For early stage founders where they have no audience & no cash to spend on paid, and their SEO hasn't kicked in yet, Reddit rules. It's one of the few channels where you can get huge reach without an existing following, by making a well-crafted post or replying to the right comments. It's just hard to sustain that, because eventually the Redditors/mods will catch on to constant self-promotion and you'll get booted. So in reality it doesn't really scale in the way twitter/SEO/ads can. But def worth keeping in the toolbelt for the 0 -> 1 stage
@pxue I got similar results, although Cosori took #2 to Ninja, which got recommended more frequently gummysearch.com/tools/best-pro…
PLG is king for indie founders 👑 3 PLG principles to live by 1: Nail time-to-value. Every extra step between signup and the moment someone gets value is a leak. Fix the leaks before you touch anything else. 2: Build viral loops. The product should spread by being used. If users create something and share it, your brand travels with it. Freemium without viral loops is just a free product. 3: Key question for every PLG product: when someone gets value from this, does it naturally bring in another user? If the answer isn't yes, you don't have a growth engine yet.
Common startup myths debunked You don't need funding to build a great business. Revenue beats cap table, especially early. You don't need a genius idea either. Most big companies started obvious and executed obsessively. Small teams move faster. 2 people + AI = 20 people. And "overnight success" is almost always years of quiet work that nobody saw.
What are y'all gonna do when the max plans get rug pulled
@icanvardar Best one on certain inputs right now, like video
@NabilHunt @thehiveindex Don't scrape their content, but I do have a bunch of facebook groups on the site.
Crossed 5000 active communities on @thehiveindex Going to be 10k soon... I've done a lot recently to automate: - adding new communities - updating stale/inactive listings - researching new categories Agents have been such an unlock for directory management, I love it
@chayprabs @DanKulkov $700 per day is nothing to scoff at for one channel from a solo bootstrapped founder
@philipbrown @thehiveindex I do some manual checks occasionally but at this point have some good automatic systems for quality control
@sardarabassi1 Got some good .md domains if you're looking for one-word domains for an agent/AI product
@levelsio In my experience dads are not reliable sources of information on nose hair management
