Tell HN: Launching a side project? Remember to sanity check production

2 pointsby msencenbalmost 5 years ago
Major facepalm moment for me today.<p>I launched https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.visualoffice.app&#x2F; a few weeks ago, got a few trials coming through. I then was approved for the Slack app directory, after a brief rejection regarding oauth permissions, and then celebrated.<p>Then crickets, despite my best efforts. No trials for 12 days, despite some traffic to the landing page. Today I decided to fully test the onboarding in production, because I am sending it to a few people I respect for feedback.<p>Turns out... the entire installation experience was broken!<p>Just a friendly reminder to test your production sign up experience a bit more often than you think :)
