Product Hunt launch gave me 100+ new users, but I failed to convert them into paid ones due to a major bug that I identified later 🥲 (alien.top)

Hey r/SideProject,

I would like to share this story with you.

On November 27th, I launched Conntent on Product Hunt. The app was working fine when I scheduled the launch, but as soon as the launch happened, I pushed a new version that integrated logging of an event using Google Analytics which caused my app to crash.

I learned about this bug halfway into the launch. I tried fixing it but was unable to figure out what was wrong. Product Hunt gave me free users, but this bug stopped them from converting into paid ones.

I have now fixed the bug, and the app is working fine. Hoping to get some paid users now.

Hope you learned something from this story of mine!

Peace.
