Hey everyone,

I came across a fascinating story this week that I wanted to discuss. It started when @adamwathan , the co-founder of @Tailwind CSS , joked on X that his decision to make every button bg-indigo-500 five years ago seems to have caused every AI-generated UI on earth to default to a shade of purple.

A year ago, while working at a startup, my senior introduced me to Product Hunt when they announced we d be launching a new feature, and I was tasked with managing the launch activities.

The next two months were a whirlwind, joining communities, connecting with folks on LinkedIn, and hustling to spread the word. Our hard work paid off when we snagged the #4 Product of the Day spot! That day, the whole team was glued to a Teams call from noon until 9 PM, everyone doing their part to chase upvotes. It was equal parts thrilling and exhausting, but so much fun.

Now, a year later I just keep an eye on new Product Hunt launches, upvoting the ones that catch my interest or when someone reaches out to me on LinkedIn.

According to Finance Yahoo, Figma wants to come up with an Initial Public Offering that could raise up to $1.5 billion.

The company is profitable in 2023, 2024, and 2025:

• 2024 Revenue: $749 million, a 48% increase from 2023.

• 2025 Growth: 46% year-over-year revenue growth in Q1.

• Gross Margin: 91% gross margin.

• Figma reports negligible debt, but it has a revolving debt line that could be updated.

Someone probably left the Product Hunt door open and I accidentally wandered in.

Now I m surrounded by serial launchers, genius builders, and people who casually say I shipped 3 products before breakfast.

Hi, I am totally new on here. I'd really love to connect and grow on here.
Also, My team and I are working on a product that'll be ready for launch soon.
I am very much interested in supporting others and I am hoping to get some support too...
Cheers!!!

I'm doing a little research on the traffic on this platform. Many people ask when it's a good idea to launch a product on Product Hunt.

I'd like to know your perspective on how you spend your time here during specific seasons (weekends, holidays, summer).

Most people phone it in on their 404 page. Some of you didn t. If yours has a little personality or went completely off the rails drop it here. Let s see who actually tried.

Here's ours! It cycles through different team member's pets because who doesn't love pets?

Hello PH community,

A few days ago I saw some posts here about:

the number of discussions is decreasing,

sometimes they are approved later,

that there is "other community growth" I don't know what was meant by that and I'm just guessing.

Hi PHers, happy Monday!

HEAR THIS - A few days ago, I was coding some stuff on my desk, and then as usual, I went on Youtube :P I was getting a brain fog from all the random stuff there, lol, but then I came across this nerdy dude from Europe with a psychedelic tshirt on, saying he got story telling figured out. I was like, FINALLY im gonna be able to get potential users to engage with my stuff. I took a coffee sip, ate my peanut butter and started watching the video. I need to admit...the things that guy said, and the examples he gave got me HOOKED.

Since discussions have been transformed into forums, we can see a significant reduction in the number of discussions and their categories. It is easier to be seen and they are better moderated.

So does it depend on what time I publish the discussion?

It depends.
