> The app landed as the #4 product of the day on ProductHunt
I honestly don't get this. I don't know a single smartphone user who looks at product hunt for new apps. None.
As far as I can tell, it's just an echo chamber of ego-seeking devs showing off their apps to other devs and spambots - that's not a market (I guess unless your app is targeted at ego-seeking devs?).
Product Hunt's customer base is largely product people, designers, and a handful of developers and investors.
If your product's target demographic overlaps with that of Product Hunt (design tools, project management tools) then it can be useful to get ranked well on Product Hunt. If your product targets the average consumer, Product Hunt is basically useless for anything other than maybe networking.
