Plain writing on launching a Mac app, by Justinas Rolando, the maker of MacPip. MacPip is new, so these are things I have checked, not stories about big numbers.
Launching
- How to launch a Mac app: a checklist that fits on one pageWhat to do before, on and after launch day for a Mac app: signing, your page, directories, Product Hunt, Show HN and what to measure.
- How to write a one-line description that says what your Mac app doesA plain way to write the one line under your Mac app's name: name the job, cut the hype, and test it on someone who has never seen the app.
- Signing and notarization, in plain words, for people making their first Mac appWhat code signing, notarization and stapling each do, in what order, what your users see without them, and how to check your own build.
- What a dofollow link is honestly worth, from a site that offers oneWhat dofollow means, what Google says about links, why a link from a new directory is worth little today, and what to do instead of buying links.
Weekly launch recaps
One page for each finished week, built from the launch records with final votes, makers and links. Nothing is written by hand.
