Hi PHerz! This is not a problem discovery post lol. Just a normal chat to see what others face in their daily lives, cause building stuff and in general trying to do things in life is a roller coaster. For me, a lot of stuff piss me off hah! However, one thing that does a lot, is the fact that I see the majority outsourcing their lives to the "system". I see people still admiring folks like Elon Musk, people working jobs they dont like and being ok that they will work for 40 years, without realizing they only live once. Buying the newest cars, the newest iphones, posting fake things on social media. Without even thinking the consequences of all this. Feels like people gave up on thinking for themselves. Anyways, hectic day, so I felt like sharing a more "deep" topic. What about you? What pisses you off in this world?

I'm diving into the world of SaaS marketing, learning as I go, and always looking to swap insights and tactics with others on the same journey. I'm Natasha, a digital marketer for a SaaS startup called Hylark. I love using Product Hunt to discover strategies for growth, and I'd expand my network even more. Let's connect on LinkedIn, here's mine > https://www.linkedin.com/in/nata... Drop yours in the comments if you want to connect

Yesterday I was thinking about how users of this platform can get the most out of Forums. Here are some ideas: 1 There aren't that many posts in the "Introduce yourself" section, so if you contribute something, there's a better chance of getting noticed by the community. 2 Even if you are an old member of the community, you can "reintroduce" yourself. A lot of people came here, so not everyone may remember you or know about you. At the same time, you can provide help to people in the areas you excel in just mention it in a post. 3 Recent posts allow you to tag people. When you are co-creating a product with someone, tag other collaborators in the "Self-promotion" section. This will automatically notify them as well and they will more likely support the post. 4 Ask questions that can help you improve the product. Conversations are now more moderated and even commented on by PH team members. This way you can get a professional perspective and improve your product or your next launch. 5 You can also take advantage of the Product Forums contribute to "p/Figma", "p/Supabase", "p/Notion" and other popular product forums... You can, for example, break down the most common problems of that particular tool and provide solutions. (Forum Threads appear e.g. in the sidebar for a given product for extra visibility) If you have any other ideas on how to take advantage of this new feature, I would like to see the opportunities from your perspective.

I would like to gather a few quality reviews for our product, but I've hit a roadblock. Our users haven't opted-in to marketing emails, so I can't directly reach out to ask for feedback. (UK-based company, we'd be breaking GDPR). After launching on PH, it was recommended that we get more reviews to social proof our product that makes sense! But I've seen brands share some questionable reviews on their websites and I'd rather collect 3-4 genuine ones. Right now, I'm thinking of adding a pop-up or banner inside our web app to ask users for feedback, and I'm slowly building a proper marketing email list for the future. Meanwhile, does anyone have any creative (and ethical) ways to quickly collect a few solid reviews? Would love to hear what worked for the PH community!

I would like some advice on how to keep the buzz going and grow a user base after a launch on product hunt. Are there any other websites to consider listing on? Any tips for sustaining traffic and increasing user engagement long-term?
