Yes! You're absolutely right. Probably my biggest mistake was not thinking about retention before launching on Product Hunt. I suspect that your experience matches that of most visitors through Product Hunt. Your suggestion about query updates may be a good one to try, and I will brainstorm other ways to make the product give more long-term value.
And yes, it is .com only for now (plans to add other TLDs soon). Thanks for the feedback that this could be clearer.
