Case studies
Apps that grew on Product Hunt Launch.
OSS Calendly competitor. Peer's build-in-public on X + GitHub stargazer marketing + community-built integrations drove early growth.
Damon's daily Stripe-revenue tweets are the distribution playbook. Open dashboard + transparency drove $1.5M ARR solo.
Built in public on X for 8 months before launch. Pre-sold to 200 followers; opened to $1M ARR in year one. Every product Marc ships afterward funnels back to ShipFast — meta-distribution.
Built in public on X over a weekend. Sold lifetime licenses at $49 — earned $30K in week 1, $200K in month 3. Tony's existing audience (DevUtils) gave free distribution.
Solo side-project to $50K MRR via SEO (programmatic comparison pages: 'X vs Bannerbear' for every competitor) + Product Hunt launch.
Solo bootstrapped Linktree competitor. Daniel's X-thread case studies + Product Hunt launches drive growth.
