How do you measure product-market fit?

You have signups, but how do you make sure that you have the product-market fit?

Going Carbon Neutral

I'd encourage all product managers to include sustainability in the planning, development and operations of any software product. I've recently gone through the exercise with ImageEngine and it's actually not that difficult nor expensive. ...and it feels good I've written a 3-step guide here: https://hackernoon.com/make-your... TLDR; 1. Establish the amount of electricity needed to offer your service 2. Figure out the carbon intensity of producing that electricity 3. Reduce and offset the remainder. Treat sustainability as a feature and competitive advantage.

Is it still worth it?

Hi. I've been a PH user for many years. Not super active, but I love the core value of PH which, for me at least, is to find new cool stuff first. I've never launched anything the "proper" way as is suggested and well documented on the webs. However, this will probably change over the next months. But there comes my question. Is it worth all the effort? Is the most successful launch the one which games the algorithm best? Since last time I looked at this, I see that PH has introduced some measures avoid spam and non-organic support. Is this working? I mean, upvotes is one thing, but genuine feedback about the product/feature is (most) valuable. Is it now required to put in a lot of effort to "game the algo" and build an ad-hoc audience? The organic PH community alone not enough? Sorry. Lot's of questions here, but I'd appreciate advice and experiences both from recent launches and the PH community.
