I would probably start building an app with bolt.new or Replit and when that tool starts failing you, you will be forced to learn whats going on. Idk. Don't be afraid to just start building something, take a course on the side, and learn as you go. You are going to suck and look back at how bad your code is but its a rite of passage for a dev. Dive in.
I will still be checking Product Hunt on election day. I think for most ppl their day wont be that much different.
Thats such a huge improvement. Nice job. The tiles for sampling podcasts could be updated to match the rest of the landing page design though. Especially since they are the bit that users are actually interacting with.
There is no visual hierarchy. The hero section and the cards section grab my attention equally.
Updated it, hope you would like it now.

i can immediately understand what the product does which makes it superior to 90% of everything else out there
the reason for this is that you will get 3 bad reviews for every 1 good review if you're not actively asking happy users to leave a positive review. a negative review is the first thing ppl want to do when they hate something, but a positive review is the last thing happy customers think to do.
Its really hard to get attention from the app stores themselves until you've been on there a while and have good ratings and user history. The exception to this is that you go viral, which is unlikely of course. You want to think about distribution early on the same way you would a web app. Get it out there on all the standard GTM channels and get those early downloads. The rating is probably the most important thing. If you don't actively pursue positive ratings then the only ones you will get are bad ones from upset users. My advice is to deploy, develop a strategy day 1 for getting positive app store reviews, and then of course play around with paid ads if you have a subscription based app you can monetize and get a positive ROAS on.
Thanks for the info. It seems apps are at the mercy of user ratings.

So cool to hear that, tell her I said thanks for using Pangobooks!
It looks really good. I did have trouble figuring out what it was though. Maybe the hero title could be more specific?
Nice job
Thanks! Unfortunately, it was actually third but got removed from the homepage for hours until I removed the waitlist, so it impacted the number of upvotes a lot
@romainsimon what‘s a Waitlisted products? How do you remove that? I wonder if that‘s the reason why my launch had been a disaster.
Or perhaps people are just not interested in non-AI products anymore. 😄 www.producthunt.com/posts/zen…
Maybe. If people can't access the product directly they don't feature you on the homepage. There's also a list of things they don't feature: help.producthunt.com/en/artic…
