@denohawari REDDIT

Reddit is the EASIEST way to rank #1 on ChatGPT and it’s much faster than regular SEO while everyone’s busy competing for the first page of Google, we’ve noticed something strange: ChatGPT is literally pulling answers straight from Reddit threads 180M+ people are using ChatGPT to search for answers as we speak this opportunity is getting saturated fast so i put together a simple system to help you rank #1 in ChatGPT fast using Reddit here’s what you’ll get inside the Reddit Guide: • the best times to post for faster indexing • why normal SEO doesn’t fully work for ChatGPT • the exact post formats ChatGPT tends to pick up • how to write comments that actually get picked up • the subreddits that keep showing up in ChatGPT answers Want the full Reddit guide? 1. like + follow 2. comment “REDDIT” and I’ll send it over.

Discipline is just boredom you got used to. 🥱 I’m clearly disciplined. 🛌

67th out of 500+ launches on Product Hunt. Here's what I learned: 1. Reach out to active PH users before launch. The algorithm heavily weights upvotes from power users and makers over new accounts. 2. Add a video as your first slideshow. 4 of the top 5 products had one. 3. Give constructive feedback to other launches in the week before you launch your product. This gives you a head-start. Thank you so so much everyone who contributed to the Product Hunt launch. This was an extremely fun and fruitful new experience. I got a looottt of support and feedback from everyone. Biggest user feedback: Android version (it's noted 👀) My Weekly Metric Reports won't stop and I'll keep upto speed on all things Habit Doom. To Infinity And Beyond 👊 #product #producthunt #buildinpublic

@buildinpublic Habit Doom: Complete daily habits to earn screentime. habitdoom.com

What are you working on this week?

T-2 to Product Hunt launch. Habit Doom's onboarding was rewritten 7+ times in 4 months based on user feedback. [habitdoom.com: Complete habits to earn screentime] Each version was broken for different reasons... But each version revealed something: v1, V2 & V3: → 7 screens of onboarding → most users were trying to finish or skip the onboarding ASAP! → 4 screens of features → nobody understood → nobody cared V4 & V5: → The objective of the onboarding is not to explain the main features of the app. It is to explain WHAT & WHY? If your UX is good then users will figure out HOW in no time. → Removed notification permissions → 10% more onboarding completions. → Reducing onboarding screens increases completion %. (Clearly rocket science 🚀) V6: → Introduced a WHAT & WHY (Storytelling). But the story was bland. → Too much information on each screen. V7: → Removed the skip button → Day 2 retention hit 50%. Users who create a habit card on day 1 are much more likely to stick with the app. → Currently at 75%-80% completion for last 7 days. Clear room for improvements. Your onboarding IS your product. If people don't finish setup, your features don't exist. #buildinpublic #iosdev #producthunt

T-4 to Product Hunt launch. Just shipped a new feature: Custom System Alarms. Not push notifications you can ignore. Real system alarms that go off at the time you set for each habit. Website: habitdoom.com App Store: apps.apple.com/app/habit-doom… #buildinpublic #habitdoom #producthunt

FINALLYYYY!!!! I built 4 apps before this one. All failed. Zero downloads. Zero revenue. App #5 finally made a non-zero amount. Thursday, Product Hunt. #buildinpublic #producthunt

Public Report Week 1: Habit Doom - $4 in revenue. - 2 user on monthly subscription ($2) - 1 user on 14-day free trial before full year subscription ($20) - 3 paying subscribers in total. - 130 downloads. - 0 ad spend. One subscriber is from Chile. One from India. One from USA. A stranger 14,000 km away found my app, tried it, and decided it was worth paying for. That feels so freaking awesome!!! Launching on Product Hunt this Thursday. I'll share every number every week — good or bad. Website: habitdoom.com iOS App Store: apps.apple.com/app/habit-doom… #buildinpublic #indiehackers #startups

@ViberankESP Will definitely check it out ✨🙌

@theunmanagedboy Finding a way to bypass API limitations is an impressive technical achievement. Habit Doom sounds like a useful tool for managing screen time. You should consider listing it on viberankdev to get more visibility and feedback from the developer community.

T-6 to Product Hunt launch. The hardest part of building Habit Doom wasn't the code. It was when Apple's Screen Time API said I couldn't re-block apps after a timer expires. ChatGPT and Cursor both said it was impossible. I found a way anyway. (Using Claude Code of course) Story for another day. But it almost killed the app. apps.apple.com/app/habit-doom… #buildinpublic #producthunt #indiehackers #iosdev

@ShawkyMesbah Thanks mate! Will keep you posted!!!

@ShawkyMesbah @AnthropicAI @GoogleDeepMind @OpenAI 😂😂😂 It hurts more when Claude is down than getting evicted. 😂😂😂

@ShawkyMesbah Best of luck mate ⚡️⚡️⚡️

@ShawkyMesbah I so so agree… I was so close to giving up. The apple API docs were super confusing. 😇 I’ll keep you posted on the PH launch 🚀

@huge_icons Yep. 8 Home Screen Widgets to choose from.

@theunmanagedboy does this have widget support?
