TiddlyWiki v5.3.7 on Product Hunt July 10th at 12:01 AM PDT

#1

I have scheduled a Product Hunt launch for TiddlyWiki v5.3.7 that will go live on July 10th, 2025 12:01 AM PDT .

To get the best exposure, we need to get as many upvotes and comments as we can. All the product launches happen at the same time of day, so it’s important to get votes and comments as soon as possible.

Product Hunt is a popular hub for online product launches with a voting and ranking system. TiddlyWiki has already launched twice, in 2017 and 2020. The second time we reached number 2 in their charts. I think it’s a good way to advertise ourselves to a broader audience. Most launches on Product Hunt are for commercial products which makes a consumer open source product like TiddlyWiki stand out much more.

The launch is currently only accessible if you have the link, and will go live tomorrow.

Hi folks
There was a problem with the sign up mechanism at Product Hunt.

Important
If you do not wish to get e-mails from them, you need to disable them at sign up.

How long is the voting open for?

#6

The voting is now open. After an hour we’ve only garnered one vote, and no comments, putting us at #52. Let’s hope the only way is up. I’ll post a few updates through the day if anything interesting happens.

I believe the voting runs for 24 hours, and then another batch of launches replaces today’s launches.

Product Hunt itself is quite far from us culturally, coming from right in the middle of the world of dodgy startups and hustles. Accordingly they harvest data and whine for attention just like all the others. I always access the site through a private browsing tab, but doubt that that is bulletproof. So, I appreciate very much people’s willingness to engage with this hive of scum and villainy.

Voted… but yes, that site feels slimy.

#8

OK, voted. :tada:

Next time, if possible, don’t choose the hour “12” because in spite of “AM” it causes confusion; some time-conversion sites don’t have “12 AM” but call it “00 AM”. And I suspect this is also why a google search for 12:01 AM PDT in stockholm gives the answer “21:01 Thursday, in Stockholm” (which is in about 9 hours from now).

Hm, the site only allowed me to sign in via existing accounts (google, X, fb etc). I selected google. No spam or anything thus far at least. But it is possible to disable the google-producthunt connection using a google setting.

Regardless of the above and regardless of outcome; Thank you Jeremy for the initiative!

The launch time is fixed, with all that days launches going live at the same time. As @pmario points out, it is essentially a daily competition.

The current state of play is that we are still at #55, and the graph of our launch points (whatever they might be) looks like this:

Let’s all rally together, TW community—please upvote and help promote this!

This is one of those moments where supporting TiddlyWiki truly matters.

Thank you!

Strangely when I want to add my review, it tells me you have already reviewed it.

By the way I added this as a comment to Jeremy Review.

#13

@Mohammad - May be you did a review the last time we entered the challenge.

#14

Yep: upvoted and left a brief review.

Good luck!

(Agree with @Scott_Sauyet: that is quite an icky-feeling site; now going to see if I have been spammed, as there was one weekly newsletter I couldn’t find a way to unsubscribe to …!)

#15

Upvoted, left a review, and commented on the page. I agree with the others about the weirdness of the site - it forced me onto that AI mailing list that I couldn’t opt out of on sign up and I was not a fan of that. Regardless, I’m happy to show my support for TiddlyWiki, especially if it means it’ll bring in new people to try it.

#16

What is a founder review? I assume there’s only one person who could claim that. Or is it a review of the founder?

#17

As of now 19:26 (current time in Greenwich, England, UK), only 15 people have voted!
I hope more people vote!

#18

It took me an hour to figure out my log-in strategy. Having to sell your soul to make an upvote is a bit of a hard sell, unfortunately. I imagine some people just gave up.

I wonder what products TW is competing against?

#19

It’s kind of weird that it uses the west coast of North America as the start point, especially since it would be midnight there. 12:01 am PDT is one minute after midnight in California.

PDT is GMT-7. Stockholm is GMT+2. So you should be able to add 9 hours to the start time. So it should run from starting at 09:00 Stockholm time.

Currently, there are 12 hours remaining.

Looking at the other products, it’s a deeply eclectic selection. Also, 6 of the top 10 feature “AI” in their descriptions. Including “Grok”, which has been getting media coverage the last few days.

#21

I used Gmail to sign up. Product Hunt only has access to my Gmail address and name.

By the way, I only see 20 votes so far—that seems too few!
