Aligns with my experience, good read. Although it is hard to read with bold and thin text for some reason ;)

Is there a print feature with the for the checklist?

Thank you!

Maybe it's easier to read on a PDF? Here's a link to it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1muiO5ze7asCp9tHcF-t_mf_tIBe...

Neat list! I've been privy to a few successful launches, and one the most important learnings was making sure your preparation is sound. Especially for launching on ProductHunt, you need to have your playbook ready and your following needs to be ready as well. When it comes to product launches, there's nothing more frustrating when it's an unorganized, uncoordinated mess and you fail to gain that much needed momentum.

Perhaps that's something you could elaborate more on, or emphasize more.

Yep, totally agree. The more you plan for the launch, the better results you're going to get.

90% of the results are determined by what you do MONTHS before you actually launch.

Exactly. I think a lot of people kind of rush into it and only after the launch fails realize that they needed so much more prepration.

Wow, awesome checklist! Thanks for this. Bookmarked for later.

How long did it take you to put this together?

No problem man. I'd say about a month. Struggled a bit with formatting it tbh :D

Thanks for the share, pretty insightful. "Cold call your first 50" customers is pretty solid advice.

You are welcome!

Yeah, I think every startup should go through one stage where they do cold-calling. You learn a LOT.

Nice read, will keep this bookmarked for future projects

Awesome! Glad you found it useful.

Great stuff. Really digging the checklist feature

Thanks man... Yeah, I was trying to make it more practical to use. Not sure how good it is though, haha.
