Wepost V2 is launching on Product Hunt in three days!

Hey everyone!
Benjamin from Wepost here.
We are very excited to announce that we will be going live on Product Hunt on tuesday 25. november. 11 months since our very first launch we are launching version 2 that is better and more powerful than ever.
We have worked hard on this for several months and are eager for the community here to back us and help us out. It is rumored that Product Hunt has changed their algorithm a lot since we first launched in january. Well hopefully we'll manage to do it again.

Wepost V2 - AI calls you to create social posts

Your employees get 10x more reach than your company page. Yet every tool ignores this. Wepost V2 orchestrates personal branding for your entire team. Our AI learns each person's voice, creates content they'd actually write, and schedules across all their profiles. One founder got 4 investors from 2 posts. Your team is your best marketing channel. Use it. With V2 the product is completely different with Google calendar, Slack and a voice integration that calls you to create social media posts.

How much time (as founders) do you spend on social media to build your personal brand?

I've noticed that more and more founders are building their personal brand and prioritising it over building their company's brand (the company account then just reposts the founder's thoughts).

I notice this especially with solo founders.

โ€œWhy isn't my Product Hunt launch getting featured?โ€ : My Linkedin Dms are flooded

Lately, my DMs have been full of this question.
While I can t say exactly what changed after Product Hunt s Aug 25 update (since the featured criteria seem a bit mysterious now), here are a few patterns I ve noticed:

  1. Version updates: New versions or re-launches (like Product v2.0) often don t get featured anymore.

  2. No freemium or free trial : Launches without a free plan or trial seem to be struggling to get featured.

  3. Hunter Featured : Having a well-known hunter doesn t guarantee a feature. In fact, recently, the two seem almost mutually exclusive.

  4. Look & feel: Launches that use the same template design or layout as others often get skipped.

Curious to hear your thoughts - have you noticed similar trends?

๐Ÿ’œ Big Update: Personal Branding is Coming to Wepost on August 8th!

Hey Product Hunt community!

Databutton launched databases, means no more third parties!!

Have any of you tried vibe coding with Databutton yet? It is my favorite vibe coding platform, and today they shipped internal authentication and databases. Which is super nice since you never have to go outside of the tool to connect your databases and stuff. I love it! Worth checking out for people eager to build their product.
We built forge.wepost.ai which has a bunch of free tools for marketers. What is your favorite vibe coding tool?

Hi ProductHunt! My name is Ben, me and my small team is building an AI marketer!

Last month we launched Wepost here on Product Hunt and i will say that it gained a lot of traction about what we are building here. But building a product people love is freakin hard! So i would love to hear more of your feedback about what we are building at Wepost.

My name is Benjamin, and i have a background from agencies, bigger companies and smaller ones as a marketer, movie creator and designer. Now i am building together with a team of 4 (including me) the AI marketer for small marketing teams in businesses. We come from Norway and a lot of people here are really technical, but we are a small population. Would love to connect and learn more from marketers across the globe, as i think we have much to learn from other people that has much bigger target audiences than what we have been building for recently!
Would love to connect and also see what other people are building

Should you launch smaller versions of your product on Product Hunt? And if so does it work? ๐Ÿค”

I see a lot of brands launching multiple "smaller" versions of their main product here on Product Hunt. As Anthropic had a launch yesterday for Claude's search functionality today they have a think functionality. I also see that multiple brands does this. Is this a good strategy and has it worked? We launched on Product Hunt a month ago and used a lot of time and resources on it, but launching multiple times will require a lot of attention. What are people's thoughts?

I m the @Product Hunt CEO, I ve launched 7 times on PH, and helped countless friends prep their launches. The most common mistake I see is a confusing tagline. Launching on Product Hunt soon? Tell me your tagline and I ll fix it for you :)

How do you manage your time as a founder/co-founder?

As a founder/co-founder of a startup, you juggle between many tasks throughout the day. How do you prioritise tasks to make mostbout of your day? What do you do yourself? What do you delegate? What do you automate? What do you ignore?
