Oh…I am so sleepy…because I launched AskMakers 2.0 on Product Hunt and I have been monitoring it almost without sleeping😪

The first version of it was launched about 10 months ago.
I worked so hard on it and it got over 100 upvotes within 24 hours for the first time🤩To make an app useful, I sent emails to ask successful makers to join AskMakers.
I am nobody, just a software developer from Tokyo (currently in Vancouver), however, some of them signed up on and support it!! Unbelievable🤯

Thank you Justin, Hari, Amie, Jonathan, and Jaime😆

After that, it took 10 months until the launch of 2.0…
I always thought like I need to add more features to launch, and I felt like I can never launch it…I should not try to be perfect.

This post pushed my back very hard.

Eventually, I decide to launch AskMakers 2.0!

BTW, it’s live on Product Hunt.

🛠 New stack

I know most users don’t care what kind of technology the product use but…yeah, I just did.
・Next.js for SSR
・Totally new design with Tailwind CSS
I used to use Nuxt.js and Bulma for AskMakers, but I wanted to make SSR and use React, so I chose Next.js.

🎨 Renewed UI

I have worked so hard to make it better for users to browse AskMakers.
I am not a designer so I did research, learned, and applied my new knowledge to AskMakers.

🚀 Categories

When I sent an email to @dinkydani21 about AskMakers, she told me the categories and search functionality are absolutely necessary for AskMakers.
I agree! What kind of web applications like this doesn’t have these functionalities?
I wrote a code and implemented it ASAP.
Thank you for the kind feedback @dinkydani21 😊
