User-friendly Privacy Policy & How to Launch on Product Hunt

88 days to ramen profitability

🚀 Progress updates

1. Two more UX tests with friends

Talked to my friends from Tbilisi, Georgia and caught a couple of minor UI and UX issues.

2. User-friendly Privacy Policy

A couple of days ago, I complained about how embarrassing our Terms and Privacy documents were. So today, I fixed this issue by creating (hopefully!) compliant yet user-friendly Privacy Policy. I tried to keep is as short and as simple as possible while adhering to the US and EU laws. Here’s the result:

🤨 Challenges: too many steps in our user journey

Currently, our sign-up and onboarding process is too complicated. During UX tests, I asked my friends to submit a project as quickly as possible, but it took them about 10 minutes. That’s far too long. The solution? Gather user feedback, analyze the data, and optimize the steps that take too long to complete.

🎯 Goals and metrics

1. Build our landing page: 5/7 sections finished.

2. Final tests with friends before the launch: 3/5 people.

🤪 P.S.:

We’re close to launching our public beta — less than 2 days left! I’m really excited, yet worried that nobody will use our app. But we won't know until we launch.

Today, I listened to a webinar called “How to get 1st place on Product Hunt” presented by a guy who successfully launched his app. Here’s his recipe:

Step 1: Spam send connection requests to 100 people per day on LinkedIn for 30 days before your launch (that’s 3k people!)

Step 2: On the launch day, ask them to vote for your app.

Easy-peasy, right?
