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…

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

Ok I've got an answer... Apparently this is because I've got a waitlist.

Yup. I don't know why but it has disappeared from the homepage :/

Yes you're right, It's not as impactful as it used to be.
I'll launch tomorrow anyway, but I was curious to know what people think :)

Haha yes. I'm hoping at least there should not be a big corp releasing something.

I don't know if it's related, but maybe use your own domain instead of stripe-app-production-5848.up.railway.app for your API?

I've never really used Product Hunt as a user, only to launch things.

It was cool when everyone launched with 0 user to get some early feedback. Now everyone waits to have users to get upvotes & pay for advertising.
It has become useless except for getting a high DR backlink.
I mean even @levelsio is not posting his own projects there anymore.

I prefer to focus on real acquisition channels.
And for the community part, it's way better here on WIP.

Thanks for the tips @ben !

Thanks for the tips!
I've watched a few Youtube videos about it in the meantime.
I made a Discord and invited all my waitlist users... we'll see how it goes but seems to be quite a full time job 😅
