I built Testimonial.to after experiencing the pain of collecting and displaying customer testimonials for my previous projects. Every founder knows social proof matters, but the process of gathering testimonials was always painful.

The Problem

Getting customers to write testimonials is hard. Getting them to record video testimonials is even harder. And once you have them, displaying them nicely on your website requires custom development.

The Solution

Testimonial.to makes it dead simple - you send customers a link, they record a video directly in their browser, and you get an embeddable widget for your site. No friction, no downloads, no complicated setup.

Building in Public

I shared my entire journey on Twitter - the good days and the bad days. When I hit milestones, I'd celebrate publicly. When features flopped, I'd share what I learned. This transparency built trust and attracted early adopters who wanted to support an indie maker.

Product Hunt Launch

The Product Hunt launch was a turning point. We reached the top 5 products of the day and got hundreds of signups. But more importantly, the launch generated buzz that lasted for weeks.

• Twitter building in public: 60% of traffic
• SEO content: 25% of traffic
• Product Hunt: Initial spike + long tail
• Word of mouth from happy customers
