Remember when products designed for consumers unexpectedly revolutionized how businesses operate? For example, Discord started as a chat app for gamers but is now essential for remote teams.

Its journey from gaming-focused platform to business tool is fascinating:

• Originally built for gamers needing low-latency communication

• Features like server organization, voice channels, and role permissions were perfect for gaming

• Discord thrived during the pandemic as businesses discovered its community-building strengths worked brilliantly for remote collaboration

• Now powers everything from customer communities to virtual events

You ever fall in love with a product, tell all your friends about it, and then disappeared?

I really liked Wunderlist (task management application). It had a super clean UX, funny tone and felt like it should ve blown up. Well, in the end it didn't survive (I think some internal political war ruined it), but at least now there like 20 new ones in the market to take their space.

Have you ever had a favorite product that totally flopped or shut down? Why do you think it didn t make it?

Hey everyone,

I m Alex, solo maker of CoLaunchly, and yesterday I launched it on Product Hunt for the very first time.

I didn t expect much. My only goal was to get into the top 10.
