We've recently [launched](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/mindgenie)
our [product](https://mindgenie.co), MindGenie, on Product Hunt and I
wanted to share a few insights from our experience so far.

​

At present, we're doing pretty well, sitting at #5. We experienced
what seems to be a bot downvoting, but thankfully, it was resolved
promptly and we’re steadily moving up.

​

However, one critical realization has been the importance of having a
strong, engaged audience from the get-go. I realized that with a more
responsive initial audience, we could have easily been amongst the top
3.

​

In conclusion, the journey has been a fruitful learning experience so
far. We're excited to see where it takes us and are looking forward to
improving based on the insights we've garnered from this launch.
