We launched on Product Hunt

Yesterday, on February 27th, 2024, we launched Uneed on Product Hunt! A somewhat funny move, as we are positioning ourselves directly as an alternative to Product Hunt.

Regardless, we were featured and displayed on their homepage: an oversight or fair play on their part? We do not know, but we would like to thank the Product Hunt team: without spoiling anything, this launch has helped us a lot.

This article looks back on the results of this launch day, on the course of the day, and on what we plan for the future of Uneed.

The results

The simple fact of being featured on the homepage of Product Hunt was a surprise in itself: we did not think that this would happen at all.

But in addition to this, the support from the community was huge, and Uneed finished as the 5th best product of the day! Considering that Tuesday is one of the most competitive days, this result is impressive.

Moreover, we wanted to play fair: we didn't send any emails and didn't contact anyone in private messages. Everything was done thanks to a tweet!

We warmly thank all the people who supported us during this launch day on Product Hunt, and who believe like us that an alternative is possible: a more transparent, fairer and less stressful product launch platform for everyone.

Without further ado, here are some figures about our launch:

• 📈 2.1K unique visitors
• 💥 876 visits to the sites of the products listed on Uneed
• 🤑 $150 in revenue
• 🤩 48 products added to the queue
• ➕ 160 upvotes distributed

What's next

This launch on Product Hunt allows us to validate our recent pivot towards a launch platform, and to get a better idea of what we need to work on in the coming months.

In addition to continuing our efforts in terms of SEO and improving the website, we will focus on:

• Improving the discovery of already launched products.
• Improving our conversion rate (registration -> promotion of one's tool)
• Improving our communication.
• Increasing administrative automation.

Conclusion

We hope not to have the opportunity to relaunch on Product Hunt next year. Within 12 months, Product Hunt will, at least we hope, have noticed our existence 👀.

We once again thank all the people who have supported us and will support us in the future.

The future of Uneed looks bright, and we will build it together!
