I have been a Product Hunt user for 5 years now, and it's been amazing to see how much the platform has evolved.
That said, I sometimes feel the absence of AI-native features. Things like smart filtering of fake profiles during the signup stage, automated link health checks on launch pages, or even an AI-driven support assistant (remember the old chat widget?).
But the real costs often hide in the background- compute burn, idle tokens, redundant calls, or that temporary caching fix that quietly eats your budget.
I ve been on Product Hunt for over 1,000 days, and honestly, when I first started, I had no strategy.
I knew I wanted to grow, but I didn t have a clear plan. I simply liked the platform, and that was enough motivation to spend time here. That time helped me recognise certain ways to build a personal brand on Product Hunt.
