MegaMaker - Today's the day

Remember that summer project that Ferdinand and I have been working on? Today's the day we officially launch it on Product Hunt. Please help us out! Your votes and comments are appreciated! 🙏

https://www.producthunt.com/posts/swagfan

Here's the backstory:

I met Ferdinand at a local Hack Night while he was getting his CompSci degree. I was impressed with his numerous solo projects (including a project where he cloned my voice).

Once he graduated, I offered to hire him over the summer/fall and give him his first "tech job."

The project we decided to work on together is Swag Fan!

Over at Transistor.fm, we've had great success using swag as a marketing and promotion channel. We send our customers, fans, and influencers hats, t-shirts, and stickers. In turn, they promote us organically on social media and when they go to events (by wearing our gear!).

We've always used Printful for printing and shipping these items, but having people choose their items, tell me their size, and give me their address was awkward (and typically took place over DMs).

Swag Fan is the "merch giveaway" app I've always wanted. You can use it to connect to Printful, generate branded giveaway links, determine how many items you want to give away, track redemptions, and view all the contacts who have redeemed free swag. Once a swag link is out of items, you can collect names and email addresses for future giveaways!

This is Ferdinand's first full-fledged SaaS project, and he's eager to see how people respond. (We've had a Senior Laravel developer review his work.)

We've priced Swag Fan at $99/year for early access users. It essentially gives you an automated giveaway engine.

Cheers,
Justin Jackson

Ferdinand is looking for his first full-time tech job! I enjoyed working with him on this project; he's highly skilled and, with the right leadership, could become an excellent Senior Engineer in the future.
Here is his resume.
