Hi everyone, Gabe here! I lead curating Product Hunt's leaderboard.

First thing I will say is that if I could feature every single product that works, I would. I love supporting makers and demoing products. I actually try to test every single thing that gets hunted every day... which is A TON.  But I view our job as to surface the most interesting, novel, useful, and innovative products - daily. Now we may not always get it right, the process isn't perfect, but we're trying to do right by the community.

Yay, I launched my product on Producthunt today (post) :-). I quit my job 7 months ago, and after over 2000 hours of building its finally live today, super excited. I spent a lot of time optimizing my website and post, adding videos, graphics, a free plan, discount code, demo account, shoutouts and more, as I don't have a big audience and hoped to get the most out of this opportunity as I only got one shot.

Unfortunately, it didn't get featured. I do have some enthousiastic users, and during the first hour, I had more upvotes than many of the featured products today . After the featured products had 4 hours of exposure, I was at place #28 (number 1 of 180 unfeatured products).

Hi inspiring people!

Not sure whether to post in p/introduce-yourself or p/self-promotion, its a bit of both!

Happy to be part of this community. Its inspiring to see what everyone is building. I see people ship new products every month . Not sure how they do it!

48 hours ago I launched on Product Hunt.

Here is what happened:

1. I launched with zero stress.

2. I didn't send a single DM for getting upvotes.

3. I found a random Hunter with no followers.

4. I wanted the whole process to be fully organic, to see how PH works.

5. I got 85 signups to my app from the whole launch.

6. I did not get featured on the main page.
