Officially announcing Phigma templates

๐™‹๐™ง๐™ค๐™—๐™ก๐™š๐™ข:
A successful @ProductHunt launch needs 100s of hours

๐™Ž๐™ค๐™ก๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ:
100+ high performing @figmadesign templates for your graphics

More info below ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
1. Why I created phigma.app

The most time-consuming PH launch task is to design unique & slick graphics for the product listing.

It's critical to stand out with an attention-grabbing page because you compete with 100s of other product daily/weekly

Also...
@ProductHunt changed my life!

Three years ago, I discovered it and I was amazed by all the cool products.

It pushed me to follow my dream of building useful products for people and the support was incredible.

It even helped me earn my 1st money online...
Anyone can do it!

And I want to help you do the same...

That's why I'm obsessed with creating Product Hunt related products that make the launching process seamless.
2. How I built phigma.app

My process consisted of three main tasks:

- Find the best Product Hunt launches during the last 12 months
- Curate their best graphics
- Design @figmadesign templates for them
3. Why these templates work

While researching the best PH launches I noticed common patterns for their graphics (ie. catchy mockups, feature presentations).

I parametrized these graphics on Figma and created easy-to-use templates

But the most interesting part is this... Image
4. You can customize them in 2 minutes, literally

The colors, logo & screenshots are Figma components.

Don't feel FOMO about components, it's simple.

There is a single source of truth which means that you import your own logo, all the templates change automatically ๐Ÿคฏ Image
5. I've curate 600+ images & thumbnails to inspire you

During my research phase for Phigma, I've found & curated the best PH launches.

It made total sense to create a searchable collection of the best graphics based on their topic category (ie, design tools, productivity) Image
6. It includes an exclusive discount

I've created thelaunchchecklist.com which includes 80+ tips for a successful launch on Product Hunt

The Phigma templates include an exclusive 35% discount coupon for it... Image
To celebrate the launch, I'm sharing an exclusive deal:

For the next ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€, get Phigma.app at $๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿต only.

Then the price will rise to $39...

7 UI Tips for beautiful & usable card designs

A Visual Thread ๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
1. Adjust Border Radius

Avoid using the same border radius for both the card and the inner elements

A rule of thumb is to use for the inner border-radius half the size of the outer element Image
2. Highlight Your Main CTA

A common mistake is to use too many primary CTA

You need to force users to take a single action & don't confuse them

Have a single primary CTA in your card Image

LAUNCH ON PRODUCT HUNT.

A big thread about everything I know about the topic.
An interesting topic about makers, indie hackers, founders, and startups.

During the last 6 years, I'm using Product Hunt daily and have launched several products successfully.

The benefits are insane and everyone must launch there at least one time

Let's dive in...
Product Hunt is the place where people post & discover the best (tech mainly) products around the world.

Their monthly traffic is 5M and ~30% is from the US, according to @SimilarWeb

Multiple actions create multiple opportunities.

That's why you need to test many things, and quickly.

But how do you "test things" for your product?

// Thread //
You need to run concrete experiments with a specific goal, in a specific time period

Having one goal will help you measure the result without distractions

The time limit will stop you from losing time on things that don't add value

A practical framework ๐Ÿ‘‡
How to run (product) experiments:

1. Set a goal (eg. increase conversion rate)
2. Come up with an idea (eg. add more CTAs)
3. Build the solution (eg. deploy new website)
4. Measure the impact of your experiment after X weeks/days (eg. analytics)

Some extra tricks...

How to validate almost any idea in a few days

[Thread]
1. Identify the pain point

Think hard to remember/understand how you came up with the idea.

Focus on the frustrative steps during the process

And why someone would care to solve this problem
2. Write down your pitch

Now, you write down a story.

Try to focus on the bad feeling you felt during the process to make people re-feel their own experiences

End with your solution and make it look like the "painkiller" in the scenario

Lessons learned from 1 year in the indie-making

Thread...
[1]

Itโ€™s an unpopular opinion but my mantra is that:

" Love what youโ€™re doing and it will succeed "
[2]

" Solve your own problem "

@CopyPalette solved a fundamental problem that I was facing daily. Many apps used to help you create a palette but there were overwhelming or confusing. I solved the problem with simplicity in mind and a great UX.

Boom! People loved it!
