Now, five days on, I'm feeling high and dry. The initial traffic spike was great (8000 new users in the first two days), but it quickly decayed and I'm left with a trickle. NameQL is a bit of a one-time-use product, so those initial users aren't sticking around, and its just me and the crickets now. I guess I was expecting that a successful launch on Product Hunt would be enough to generate some sustained interest...

So my question to you is: What should I do now? Does the success on Product Hunt validate the product, or does the fact that interest died so quickly mean that I should move on? With the initial hype gone, is Product Hunt a dead channel for me now, or is there a way to leverage the success I had there? I'd like to be able to focus on making product improvements and release features requested on PH, but right now it feels like no one would care...

Thanks in advance for your wisdom!
