Cited GrowthDex tactics

• Loom first comment links use cases not release notesUse the first maker comment to show concrete use cases and what changed, not to dump a changelog that only the team understands.
• Loom first launch page gets the skeptic clickBuild the Product Hunt page so a skeptic can decide to click through from the post itself, with a sharp page, tight screenshots, and just enough detail to invite the next action.
• Loom one-click tagline before the demo loadsPut the product's simplest behavior in the tagline so people understand the shape of the workflow before they watch a video or open the site.
• Loom Product Hunt post before homepage spikeSend the first launch-day wave into the Product Hunt post instead of the homepage when the goal is feedback density, visible trust, and public conversation around a new workflow.
• Loom video replies turn commenters into alliesReply to launch commenters with personal Loom videos when the product itself can make the response more memorable than a typed thank-you.
