Re:Can solo-founder designer overvote Figma (big company) on PH? on Thursday December 10, 2020 @04:34PM (#25379032)
Hey guys,

I launched a new 3D library on Product Hunt and I wanted to make little fun out of it.

I am in 3rd position right now. First, is the product hunted by the CEO of Figma (big boy).

I am just a casual designer with a full-time job and poor sleep hustling my side projects during nights.

Is it possible for me to overvote big boy?

While I was posting this to the groups, I spoke to people and I told them the facts about that, if they asked. Nobody was pissed off, everybody was happy, that somebody was solving their pain.

Well. I showed them the future tool and if they liked it, they could subscribe. If you call this a lie, then whole Tesla is a lie https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck

+ I haven't collected any money from people.

What would you say on Kickstarters? When they are just in "prototype" phase and they even not sure if they can deliver? And they are even collecting money.

Exactly.

Thanks for sharing! In the past all graphic materials were done by graphic designers. In Photoshop, there is huge flexibility what you can do. Basically, you limit only yourself what you want to create. And the plugin leverage mostly this.

If you see, Bannersnack basically do the same thing, problem is, that they don't have that reach functionalities as Photoshop has.

Thanks for sharing anyway, good to know! :)

Well, we delivered and the people who signed up got invitation to the beta. This approach is everywhere but we forget somehow look at them differently.

Look at the https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck ... They even collect money, but we are not sure if the whole company Tesla will be here in 2 months. Can we trust that companies will show us only super functioning thing?
