Less than a day until we launch on Product Hunt
I'm not worried about rankings
I'm worried about whether this actually helps someone
That's the only metric that matters

not bad... not bad at all for spending an hour a day on social media marketing..
without drowning myself too much into this, I still get to get online, interact with people, learn from their journeys and their insights..
I'm happy with the result
