Ask HN: Should I use Product Hunt now, or later?
I'm creating a free open source website generator, to help developers create beautiful websites, blogs, and user documentation.
I am considering posting on Product Hunt soon to get some real feedback, but I'm not sure if I'm too early or not.
Should I post on Product Hunt as soon as I have an MVP?
Or should I wait until I have a little bit of a following?
Thank you in advance! :)

- hoofhearted 3y agoI appreciate everyone's feedback!
- skilled 3y agoI checked it out. I have no idea what this is or what it does. I do recognize that it's the official Tailwind CSS theme though. So I'd say your first step would be to show some examples and use cases because otherwise it feels very bland.
- hoofhearted 3y agoNice! Thank you for the feedback :) I’m actually working on developing a content editor panel that goes along with it so I can revamp all of the content. I started out writing up the content with a basic editor tool within my VSCode IDE, but that quickly became cumbersome when I hit around 20 pages of user docs.
- hoofhearted 3y agoBut back to the original question of posting on Product Hunt yet. I believe from your answer, you are saying that I should wait to improve my content before post on PH, correct?
- skilled 3y agoIn my opinion, yes. You should wait and flesh it out a little bit more. I think it will be in your favor, too. And also, you're targeting developers (at least I figure that's what you're doing) - so expect that people are going to be above the board critical if it feels like the value proposition isn't made clear instantly.
- hoofhearted 3y agoThis is great feedback! Thank you so much for this, I do appreciate it.
