I had a successful launch! (🦘) | Build in public E129
Today, I updated my build and public log by sharing the successful launch of my project 'Unfuck Email.' I detailed how I leveraged a deliberately controversial tactic on Hacker News to generate buzz and drive engagement, discussing the strategic use of negative feedback to fuel viral growth and build my newsletter audience despite not being a fan of traditional social media. Additionally, I recounted my visit to a Hacker News event and a memorable personal experience in Australia, where I witnessed kangaroos in the wild and reflected on the surreal beauty and unique energy of the outback. These insights provided a blend of practical marketing tactics and personal travel adventures, emphasizing my continuous efforts to innovate and connect with my audience.
