r/ProductHuntLaunches

Hey all, founder of Hey Noah here.

We launched last Tuesday and ended the week as #1 Product of the Week on Product Hunt.

Before launching, I read probably too many posts about how to do Product Hunt properly. Most of them had a very clean playbook: "do X before launch, Y on launch day, Z after, and here are the results."

Ours didn’t really feel like that.

For some context, Noah handles scheduling over text, email, and WhatsApp. Instead of opening another app, you just tell it something like “find time with Sarah next week,” and it handles the back-and-forth.

Going into the launch, I assumed we’d spend most of the day explaining that. We didn’t. People immediately started trying to find the edges.

>What happens if someone reschedules?
What if there are three time zones involved?
What happens when Noah gets something wrong?
When does it ask me before doing something, and

When does it just go ahead and handle it?

That last question stuck with me.

We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about whether Noah can reliably do the work. But the people trying it were asking a slightly different question: how much control am I comfortable handing over?

It sounds obvious in hindsight, but that ended up being one of the more useful things we learned from the launch. The interesting problem isn’t just getting an AI to schedule correctly. It’s knowing when it should act and when it should come back to you.

The other thing people kept bringing up was that there’s no Hey Noah app. It works through SMS/iMessage, WhatsApp, and email. Some people initially assumed we just hadn’t built the app yet. But removing another app you have to open and check is pretty much the whole idea.

Anyway, #1 Product of the Week was great, but getting a few hundred people poking at the product and asking questions we hadn’t anticipated was probably the more useful part.

There were things that worked, things that absolutely didn’t, and a few things we’d do differently if we launched again.

Hey everyone, doing a second launch after a month for the same product today. The last time we reached #2.

The CLI lets your your coding agent create, preview, push, and publish docs from scratch. All from a plain prompt.

If the product resonates, I would really appreciate you checking out the launch
