Product Hunt launch day update

I held #5 for most of the day. Then in the last 4 hours, while I was asleep in Turkey, ElevenLabs and Mintlify (a $500M company backed by a16z) passed me. ShipHQ finished #7.

And honestly? I'm proud.

I built ShipHQ alone:

• no team
• no funding
• no launch agency

Just me, a few small apps, and the idea that a new subscriber should feel like someone walking through your door.

Finishing right behind two of the biggest names in AI, with more comments than both of them combined, is more than I imagined when I hit launch.

And X showed up for me in a way I never expected. Every share, every comment, every DM. I read all of them. Thank you

Day one is over. The office is open. Back to building
