Tell HN: Launching a side project? Remember to sanity check production Major facepalm moment for me today. I launched https://www.visualoffice.app/ a few weeks ago, got a few trials coming through. I then was approved for the Slack app directory, after a brief rejection regarding oauth permissions, and then celebrated. Then crickets, despite my best efforts. No trials for 12 days, despite some traffic to the landing page. Today I decided to fully test the onboarding in production, because I am sending it to a few people I respect for feedback. Turns out... the entire installation experience was broken! Just a friendly reminder to test your production sign up experience a bit more often than you think :) |
