Product Hunt retrospective. #7. Not a viral launch. But every comment was from someone who actually tested the tool. Real feedback, real feature requests, real conversations. Here's what actually happened while I was on PH: - MRR hit $390 (was $200 two weeks ago) - 1,500+

قبل فترة عرضت موقع خاص بالمشاريع ، تجرب فكرة مشروعك هل هي مناسبة أو لا .. https://t.co/sOkMVdzzkb تفاجأت أن صاحب التطبيق نفسه ، أرسل لي رسالة : "مرحبًا عبير.. أنا فينسنت، مؤسس TestYourIdea. كنت أراجع تحليلاتي ولاحظت مجموعة من المستخدمين الجدد من السعودية. لم أستطع معرفة السبب.

Product Hunt day is almost over. Honestly? I don't care about the ranking. I built this because I watched founders waste months building the wrong thing. For 5 years. Over and over. Way before vibecoding was even a thing. If one person scanned their idea today and dodged a

Product Hunt launch day. The numbers are underwhelming. No launch squad. Just me and the product. I spent weeks building features. The builders who win PH spend weeks building campaigns. Different game. Still learning. The tool still works though. 1,400+ ideas tested. 9 out

We're live on Product Hunt 🚀 No pod. No campaign budget. No influencer DMs. Just a solo founder from Paris, a validation tool, and 1,400+ ideas tested by entrepreneurs. 89% scored below 70. The tool finds the problems before you build.

Founders: what's the one metric you check every morning before anything else? Mine is new signups from organic sources.

🚀 Launching my app on Product Hunt tomorrow. No big campaign. No influencer asks. Just putting it out there. 1,400+ ideas tested by entrepreneurs. 89% scored below 70. The tool finds the problems before you build. Tomorrow morning. Solo founder vs the front page. Let's see

Got my first Trustpilot reviews. One of them felt the need to add: "I may sound overly excited and fake, but I am not affiliated with the founder of this app." That's probably the best compliment a solo founder can get. When your users defend themselves for liking your

I almost chickened out of raising my price. Spent a week overthinking it. Scared I would kill my conversions. Finally moved from $19 to $29. Result: sales stayed identical. Revenue jumped 50%. Turns out $19 looked like AI slop. $29 looks like data people can trust. If nobody

Arabic creators found my tool. I didn't find them. Two verified accounts, 50K+ followers, shared TestYourIdea without me knowing. Saudi Arabia became my #1 country overnight. 24 hours later I shipped: - Full Arabic translation - RTL layout across 45+ files - Saudi/UAE as target

$300 MRR. Month 1. 🚀 Last post I was at $200. Here's what changed. Since then: - 1,300+ ideas tested by entrepreneurs - Arabic creators shared the tool organically. Saudi Arabia is now my #1 country (594 scans) - Shipped full Arabic translation + RTL in 24 hours - Price went

Only 11% of ideas scored above 70. Only 1 ever scored above 90. and it wasn't even a startup. Want to see where yours stands? link in bio. The data can hurt. but better now than after 6 months.

#5: competition (7.3%) Here's the surprise. competition is only the 5th reason. founders obsess over "is someone else doing this?" the data says the real question is: "can I reach the people who need this?" Go-to-market risk is 4x more dangerous than competition.

#4: too much capital needed (9.5%) Hardware, logistics, anything needing $500K before $1 in revenue. If you can't test it with a $500 MVP, the risk is too high.

#3: regulatory walls (14.8%) Fintech, healthtech, real estate founders forget that code doesn't bypass compliance. GDPR, HIPAA, KYC. that's 6 months and $50K before you ship anything. Technically sound, legally DOA.

#2: too early, too vague (24.7%) No target user. no pricing. no evidence anyone wants it. you can't validate demand when demand hasn't been articulated. The "I have an idea for an app" stage.

#1 reason: no go-to-market plan (30.3%) The idea is fine. the founder has zero clue how to reach customers. "I'll post on Product Hunt" is not a distribution strategy. building is cheap now. attention isn't.
