DolphMotion just KILLED Figma… day 3: building the #1 screen recording tool that looks like you hired an editor Adding in the internal motion design was a success. It’s not perfect yet, but creating stuff like that in seconds for your demo is still masmerizing.

@shoguncarroll help a man out

i have about 12 verified followers, and my goal is to reach 50. I’m looking to connect with people who are interested in AI tools, coding, building in public, SaaS, mobile apps, growth operating, and just ambitious internet things. Can you help?

day 2: building the #1 screen recording tool that look like you hired an editor We have the main infrastructure and features down like: * smart auto zoom * smooth cursor * all kinds of background etc… Right now we are adding in animations to make your demo videos much nicer

A founder who had 0 followers and hit #1 on Product Hunt in 30 days. I broke down exactly how she did it. Thread👇 [2] Her name is Sherry. She's building Peak Money, a personal finance app with a chat interface where you can ask questions about your spending instead of staring at a spreadsheet. On March 5th, 2025, she posted her first public update. It got 556 views, 4 likes, and one comment. The comment was from herself. [3] Five minutes later, at 9:53 AM, she posted again. Same day, same topic, slightly different format. The second version had no link. The first got around 500 views, the second got 1,200, a 140% jump between two posts she put out inside of five minutes. She didn't announce she was testing. She ran two versions and moved on. The people who saw one never saw the other because they scrolled past it and kept going. Nobody was watching closely enough to care. [4] Every post after that opened with the same line: "Building the next biggest personal finance app." She wrote it on day 1, day 15, day 22. A TV show runs its intro every episode because viewers don't carry the premise around between sessions. Sherry understood the same thing about her audience. By day 15, she had 1,700 views and 10 comments, and she was still opening with that line. The headline is not repetition, it's the reset button that makes each post work for someone who's never seen the others. [5] Day 22 is the number that changes the story. A tweet went viral from someone saying they wanted a personal finance app that did certain things. Sherry had been building that app for three weeks. She tagged the person, replied with what she'd been working on, and showed more of the actual product than she had in previous posts. The post hit 54,000 views. The day before, she was at 1,700. That's a 3,000% jump from one reply to a tweet she had no part in creating. [6] The hosts on the Starter Story podcast broke down why that moment worked the way it did. If Sherry had posted for three days and stopped, that viral tweet passes by and she has nothing. Three weeks of daily posts made her identifiable as "the person building the next big finance app." When that tweet dropped, she could point directly at what she was already doing. The preparation created the opportunity to respond. Pat said it on the show: "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity." She was prepped. The opportunity came. [7] Product Hunt launch. Roughly six weeks after her first post with 4 likes. She hit #1. The launch post got 93,000 views. People showed up in the comments saying they'd been following since the beginning, back when the beginning was 556 views and a self-comment. Pat on the podcast: "Imagine if you could change your life in 30 days. This is the prime example of it." March 5th to April 15th, 2025. Forty days. [8] The same day she hit #1, she reset the clock. New post: "Our path to 10K downloads in 30 days." That post alone pulled 10,000 views because she'd spent six weeks building an audience alongside the product. The audience that watched her go from 4 likes to Product Hunt #1 showed up for the next challenge because they'd watched the last one. The format resets. The momentum carries.
