What

Adds a dated truth document recording that Promptly and Drishti (Tiny Studio's two public apps) have zero indexed Product Hunt or AlternativeTo presence as of 2026-08-09, per lane 1's item.

Verification performed (all live, 2026-08-09)

  • Product Hunt on-platform search: promptly (5+ unrelated third-party products, none Tiny Studio's), drishti (zero results), tiny studio (only an unrelated Mac subtitle app under the exact-name TinyStudio, launched 2023 by a different maker).
  • AlternativeTo on-platform search: promptly and drishti (only unrelated products, none linking to tinystudio.in).
  • Index checks via DuckDuckGo site-restricted queries: no tinystudio.in results on either platform; no "promptly" booking result on AlternativeTo.
  • Live pages: tinystudio.in/promptly/ and tinystudio.in/drishti/ return 200, contain no Product Hunt/AlternativeTo links, and are not noindexed — they are simply not listed on either marketplace.

Key truth nuance recorded

The generic names Promptly and Drishti collide with unrelated products on both platforms, and Product Hunt's exact-name TinyStudio page belongs to a different company's Mac app — it is not a Tiny Studio asset and must not be claimed as one.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added research documenting the verified absence of indexed Product Hunt and AlternativeTo listings for Promptly and Drishti as of August 9, 2026.
    • Included search methods, findings, interpretation limits, and criteria for future re-verification.

…resence for Promptly and Drishti

Add a dated truth document recording that Promptly and Drishti have no
indexed Product Hunt or AlternativeTo presence as of 2026-08-09, with
the exact on-platform searches, site-restricted index checks, live page
checks, and a re-verification rule. All name-matching results belong to
unrelated third parties, and Product Hunt's exact-name TinyStudio page
is a different company's Mac app, not a Tiny Studio asset.

### Live app pages

- `https://tinystudio.in/promptly/` returns HTTP 200.
- `https://tinystudio.in/drishti/` returns HTTP 200.
- Neither page contains the words "Product Hunt" or "AlternativeTo" (zero matches in page HTML).
- Neither page carries a `noindex`/`nofollow` robots meta; `robots.txt` allows crawling of all paths and lists the sitemap.
- The pages are pre-launch product pages with an early-access mailto CTA; they are not listed on either marketplace.

Check link targets and HTTP robots headers before recording these conclusions.

Line 45 checks only for the words Product Hunt and AlternativeTo. This does not prove that the HTML contains no links to producthunt.com or alternativeto.net.

Line 46 checks the robots meta tag and robots.txt, but it does not record the X-Robots-Tag response header. Inspect anchor href values and response headers for both pages before claiming that they contain no marketplace links and are not noindexed.

## Re-verification

To re-verify, repeat the on-platform searches and the two site-restricted queries above. The claim is falsified iff a Product Hunt or AlternativeTo page owned by or attributable to Tiny Studio's Promptly or Drishti (linking to tinystudio.in or named as Tiny Studio's app) appears in any of them.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the re-verification rule.

The document lists one Product Hunt site-restricted query at Line 29 and three AlternativeTo queries at Lines 37-39. Replace “the two site-restricted queries above” with an explicit reference to all listed queries.

The iff condition is also too strong. A matching page found by any check is sufficient to falsify the claim, but a page can exist without appearing in these search results.

Proposed wording
-To re-verify, repeat the on-platform searches and the two site-restricted queries above. The claim is falsified iff a Product Hunt or AlternativeTo page owned by or attributable to Tiny Studio's Promptly or Drishti (linking to tinystudio.in or named as Tiny Studio's app) appears in any of them.
+To re-verify, repeat the on-platform searches and all site-restricted queries listed above. A Product Hunt or AlternativeTo page owned by or attributable to Tiny Studio's Promptly or Drishti falsifies this claim if it appears in any check. Absence from these checks supports the claim only as of the re-check date.

P2 Badge Remove the nonexistent early-access CTA claim

When this truth document is used to assess launch readiness, this line records an acquisition path that neither checked page provides: the primary actions in public/promptly/index.html and public/drishti/index.html are Support and Privacy, while their only mailto: links are explicitly labeled as email support in the footer. Readers could therefore incorrectly conclude that pre-launch demand capture is already available; either link to an actual early-access CTA or describe these as support-email links.
