12:01:AM:PST — going live

Step 1: getting featured. Check!

For the first 4 hours of the day, Product Hunt hides upvotes and sorts the homepage randomly. This should give products "a more distributed chance at exposure early." — Source

01:11:AM:PST — new milestone: 100 upvotes

Product Hunt is a great place for developer tools to launch.

It helps raise awareness, get feedback, and collect testimonials — the type of materials you can reuse later on for marketing purposes.

Take this comment from Oleg Chumakov, CEO of Lumen.io, for example:

QA.tech is the first tool that has figured out how to test our video games by using WASD movement and performing in-game actions.

— Oleg Chumakov, CEO of Luden.io on Product Hunt


01:35:AM:PST — new milestone: 118 upvotes

When QA.tech first launched on Product Hunt a year ago, they got 117 points. They just surpassed it.

Product Hunt pays off in the long term. Launch, and keep launching.

Totally see how this could make life easier for smaller teams. Love the idea.

07:42:AM:PST — featured in The Leaderboard

The Leaderboard is Product Hunt's daily newsletter featuring three takes on new products and yesterday’s top 10 launches.

Their take on QA.tech:

Testing is the part everyone dreads. You push a release, cross your fingers, and hope nothing catches fire. QA.tech wants to end that guessing game by finding what you’d miss before users ever see it. If it actually does that, it’s not just another dev tool. It’s peace of mind.

I gave [QA.tech] a whirl and first impression is sweet, very smooth onboarding and chat guided test setup. As a solo builder, this sort of tool could be a game changer for testing.

— David Culemann, solo maker on Product Hunt
