Does the Product Hunt algorithm hate Solo Creators? My Alpha Day experience

Yesterday was Alpha Day here on Product Hunt, and as a solo founder, it was an absolute rollercoaster. I spent the last year coding Clio in the evenings, trying to build something that actually helps students save time without compromising academic integrity. Seeing the algorithm hide numbers or filter votes was tough, but it reminded me why I started: To build for the users, not for the leaderboard. If you believe that small, independent creators still deserve a spot alongside the big VC-funded startups, I d love for you to take a second look at Clio. It s not just about a 'vote' it s about giving a project that I ve poured my heart into the visibility it needs to actually reach the students who need it most. Check it out here: https://www.producthunt.com/post... To every other maker out there struggling today: Keep going. The journey is worth more than the badge. "

We just launched our Alpha and we need your honest feedback.

I built Prodshort because I understood after my previous companies that the hard thing is not to Build but to Sell.
But because I'm a builder, not a seller. I decided to build something that Sells for me.
And Because the trend is Founder Led Marketing, I decided to build something that Create content on your behalf.
But there was a lot of AI tools out there. So I decided to go the opposite way, make it the most authentic possible.
I want you to create content when you are not even aware of it.
And honestly it worked for me. Many people tell me it's amazing but to keep it honest, NO ONE PAYED, and that's the only KPI I'm looking at.
For now, I have feedback about the landing page being too AI generated, and doesn't reflect the quality of our product.
And Builder socially scared from sharing there first content.
Let me know what you think https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

🔥 Get more points by launching on Alpha Day

We re trying something new on Thursday: Alpha Day.

The idea is simple. If this is the first time you re launching your product anywhere, you can tag it alpha and get a boost to your points (and land on a special leaderboard).
