Way better than my Product Hunt launch, which barely moved
I genuinely think it's useless to launch on PH 🤔, TinyLaunch feels closer to the #buildinpublic community ❤️

My @cursor_ai year in review boils down to 462M tokens used, aka 3.2M tokens per 1$ made 😅
How many tokens did you use per $1 earned this year?

This silly mistake cost me $165 which is more than the total revenue of globeflix.app 😬
I assumed RapidAPI would auto-upgrade my plan when I hit the limit.
But you guessed it: it didn’t.
So I got charged per request instead. But thankfully support gave me a sympathy refund! 😁 #buildinpublic

Oops 🤦♂️ I added monitoring on GlobeFlix.app yesterday night, but I picked the default 3-min frequency instead of daily. Went to bed, woke up to GlobeFlix blowing past API limits overnight.
Small price to pay for load testing, I guess? 😅

Guys, PokedexChecklist.com went from 20 organic clicks on Oct 25 to 200 this week 🤯 Between this jump and the top 2 on tinylaunch 🥈 it's been a great week!
Now it's time to crunch the analytics numbers and see if it's truly worth going deeper with premium features #buildinpublic

Sometimes I feel like building in public only truly works if you're building a product for other builders. Otherwise, you're sharing with an audience that can't use your product.
Do you think it is it still worth investing the energy to build in public, or is it better to build in quietly?

My git graph isn't filled every day, and that's ok. It's what it realistically looks like when you also have a job, life, and other responsibilities like most builders.

Got 10 upvotes on yesterday's PH launch of PokedexChecklist (vs 44 on GlobeFlix). A bit quieter this time! 😅 Some friends' votes didn't count (bummer) but at least I'm getting a dofollow backlink!

Am I doing something wrong with my PH launch? 🤔 I can see the 11th with 79 upvotes, while the 12th has 14. I saw the exact same cliff last time, how do they rack up so many upvotes early?
Does any one have any tips to beat this cliff? I feel like the best I can achieve is 12th 😔
