First Impressions

2,100 Downloads in Just 1 Week! 🎉

After a week of marketing—including social media ads, ProductHunt, Reddit, and throwing our name anywhere we could—HotShoe has hit 2,100 downloads!

Honestly, not bad for a week’s work. Less than a week, even. I’m a big believer in celebrating the W’s. Small steps build up to larger ones, and while 2,100 users isn’t the big time, it’s a meaningful milestone for an app that had zero users just days ago.

HotShoes Around the World

It’s incredible to see where HotShoe is being used. The app went from living on my laptop to being downloaded across the globe. We’re just getting started, and the journey is already inspiring.

Highlights From the Week

ProductHunt Love

Thank you to the ProductHunt community for voting HotShoe the #2 Product of the Week in Health & Fitness! We hung around #12 on launch day—no small feat in such a competitive space.

Reddit Steps Up

Redditors showed so much love on r/iosapps! The feedback and questions helped more people discover HotShoe, and the conversations were invaluable for shaping our next steps.

What’s Next?

Thanks to your feedback, we’re diving headfirst into v2 development. Improvements are already underway, including:

• Enhancing the slider for smoother controls.

• Adding new features like advanced focus options.

• Exploring higher HD recording settings.

Stay tuned—these updates (and more!) are coming your way soon.
