In 2025, we witnessed a true Product Hunt (r)evolution so many things changed dramatically. I honestly think this was the most intense year of changes the platform has ever had.
For example, we got to experience all of this:
Verifying profiles (badges)
Alternative product suggestions on launch pages
Views and online count on forum posts
Adding/Removing the ambassador program
Forums instead of Discussions
Changing the UX/UI of launch pages
Removing Coming soon (Notify me pages)
Adding/Removing downvotes on comments
Forum comments now showing up on our profiles
More extensive footer
Redesign of the main page UI (e.g., new notification icon)
Everyone has their favourite routine to perform at their best.
Some are advocates for the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes of intensive work, with a 5-minute short break), others love time-blocking, a few plan the entire week on Sunday, and there are even people who say ice-cold showers la Wim Hof help them focus.
Many of you sometimes write to me in DMs asking how to position yourself on Product Hunt.
From the question, I always get the feeling that people want to speed up the process, publish something quickly, get a high position in the ranking of launched products and a badge. But this is a long-term game.
Why do you need this? For when creativity is required. So you can stop and think for yourself, instead of taking a generic and ready-made answers from ChatGPT/etc.
It helps you learn to think independently instead of handing everything over to AI. Yes, it's harder and takes longer. But the result will be better because the outcome is yours - you come up with the idea yourself. AI hasn't reached the level where it can think for us yet. But it's great at push us - and that's what Ideation does.
I noticed this question in one of my discussions and thought it would make sense to share my approach if I were to get in touch with more active users of this platform.
Here s how I would find them and connect with them (via X, LinkedIn or other channel) You can find them :
Check people who log in daily (Streaks).
Look at users who actively comment under discussions and launches.
Connect with active hunters.
You can try reaching out to the internal Product Hunt team.
Explore WA, Telegram, and Signal PH groups where people are active and reach out to them.
Check users who launch a few days before you they re likely to put effort into the platform too, so they still have that "launching vibe".
I m Artem Anikeev, founder of FakeRadar.io the world's first real-time deepfake detection tool designed specifically for video calls.
Why FakeRadar?
The rise of deepfake technology has brought new risks to everyday digital communication. From fraudulent job interviews to high-stake banking scams, the threat is real - and constantly evolving. FakeRadar was born to address this urgent need with cutting-edge, accessible technology.
I've recently seen more cities that are growing teams and building offices that seem to be growing rapidly? SF seems like it's one of many hubs that have been growing in the recent years. I'm trying to see which cities people are looking into and where people think will be the next startup hub? I've seen mixed opinions on cities like New York and Toronto but would love to hear what other people think as well!
Both AirPods Pro 3 and Ear (3) launched this month. I m curious what folks would get? I really like the design of Ear (3) and I can see myself using the Super Mic on the case a lot but . From seeing all the reviews on the AirPods Pro 3 it seems that their quality of sound, ANC, and microphone is better. So might have to pick those as the winner for me. What does everyone else think?
Have you ever faced a situation when you were talking to an avatar instead of a real person during a video call? Modern technologies allow creating very realistic personages, and this can be used both on dating sites and during job interviews or by scammers.
This is a hot topic these days.
Hi! I'm Artem, and we're planning to launch FakeRadar on ProductHunt very soon. It's a service that allows you to identify whether you're talking to a real person or a "non-human".
