Over time, I ve realized how much effort we put into our websites on landing pages, pricing, testimonials, product tours and yet, most visitors only ever deeply interact with one or two sections depending on your ICP.
For developer-first products, that s usually docs.
For consumer apps, maybe it s onboarding or pricing.
For enterprise tools, perhaps case studies or ROI calculators.
I'm an indie-founder and storyteller, working on StrideQuest a new kind of walking motivator.
I m designing an app that s a simple, but genuinely engaging addition to the music and podcasts that already accompany your walks. It's about adding a light layer of adventure without demanding your screen time.
May: Launched our public beta, achieving #8 on Product Hunt among 150+ products. Based on initial user feedback, we immediately shipped a mobile-adaptive version.
June: First 1K salary calculations. User feedback drove the decision to launch our full marketing website for SEO and initiate a complete product redesign.
July: First visitors from organic search. We shipped v.1 of the web app, featuring the new design, deeper resume analytics, and the initial version of the personal account. First registered users!
I'm planning my Product Hunt launch and getting conflicting advice. Some people say to do a soft launch first to test the waters, get initial feedback, and learn the platform. Others say you only get one shot at the spotlight, so you should wait until everything is perfect and go all-in.
The soft launch camp argues you can iterate based on feedback and launch again later with a better strategy. The all-in camp says featured products get 90% of the attention, and if you don't get featured on your main launch, you've basically wasted your shot.
I'm Aaron and for the last few years I've been writing the Product Hunt newsletters. That includes: our daily, weekly, developer tools, and AI tools ones. Every morning I look through the homepage to try and find the coolest products to write about and I want to share with you all what I look in a launch so you can increase your chances of getting featured!

I launched @PayScope just 10 days ago. A tiny experiment-turned-product that estimates your market salary from your resume. No sign-up, no onboarding, upload and get the analytics.
I launched it directly on Product Hunt, literally the same day I made the tool public.
No support from big names. No early users. No large network.
Hi everyone! I m Rokaya. Super excited to finally be here
Quick intro: I started out as a marketing director for software companies, then moved into sales at Gartner, and eventually left to start my own CMO-as-a-service consultancy. For the last few years I ve been helping B2B tech startups grow through super-personalized outbound stuff that actually booked meetings for my clients and grew their pipeline.
Getting a job is becoming increasingly difficult many applicants (high competition), automation and the replacement of tasks with artificial intelligence...
Upload your resume(or someone else's). Get your market salary instantly - no sign-up needed. PayScope analyses your experience against 27M+ job listings and shows where you stand: median, top 10%, and bottom 25%. Fast, private, and weirdly satisfying.
I always feel like I m aging myself when I suggest using @PayPal to send money. ( Don t you have Venmo? my little brother asked me years ago. I quickly made an account but honestly, I only use it with him.)
It s wild how fast things have changed. First, @Venmo and @Zelle took over, and now there s @Wise , @revolut , and probably dozens of other ways now to send people money instantly.
Let s bring back everyone s favorite kind of feedback: brutally honest and weirdly helpful. Drop a link to your landing page in the comments. Then roast someone else s. Keep it real, keep it useful, keep it (mostly) kind
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.

A few of us at Product Hunt are putting on our most brutally honest (but helpful!) hats and roasting landing pages for the next two days. Want in? Drop your link below, and we ll give you real, no-BS feedback on:
Clarity Does your message make sense or sound like corporate soup? Calls to Action Do we feel compelled to click, or just leave? Design & UX Smooth experience or rage quit territory? Anything else Tell us what you want feedback on.
After months of development, our product is finally ready to launch.
We ve been building a waitlist, and next week, most of those subscribers will get access. But here s where I m stuck:
1 Should we open the platform to the general public after that? 2 Or should we keep access waitlist-only to maintain quality and collect better feedback?
