Hello everyone! Today is one of the most important days in the history of our project - we are launching on ProductHunt!

Over the course of a year, we created a framework, refined the syntax, added functionality, improved documentation, and much more!

More than 20 contributors helped the project become a little better in code, I would really like not to lose their contribution, but to show everyone how cool it is done. In this article, we will talk about this

Let's get started! 🏎️

⚙️ Preparing for launch

Probably one of the longest sessions. It took me a week to create the pictures and video - this is the basis. But I think it was worth it.

But first you need to come up with a description text, specify a tagline and upload a logo.

You can specify an emoji in the product description, but it is better not to, and to do it only in the attached comment.

Quite trivial fields that are filled in quickly. By the way, sometimes they are not saved, so prepare all the content at once.

🎬 Launch Media

So, about the pictures - this was one of the longest stages. To create something incomprehensible from scratch is not obvious, and it also has to show the product beautifully.

The complexity of our project is that it is not a Software As A Service product. I can't just throw in screenshots from the service and add text. Here I had to think about what would work well.

The video took up most of the time. It's not clear what to do and how to do it.

It seems like the video turned out well. All these transitions, of course, took a long time to make, but I think that this also looks good.

💬 About development

We have been doing this project for a year now and have written many articles on this topic. Every major update leaves its mark, everything is built publicly.

Many people helped the project become a little better, thank you! Some helped with code:

And someone with a comment, a like, a review of the project. I think this is important.

🐈‍⬛ A little bit about ProductHunt

I like the atmosphere that has been built on this platform! Most small projects have received the most necessary thing - feedback on what you are doing.

If you did something wrong, people can politely tell you about it. A bunch of forums on projects, an active community - all this makes this service one of the necessary ones for developers today.
