Which is more important: making a great product or doing effective marketing?

Hello, Product Hunt!
I vote for "marketing is more important!"
Recently, building has become really easy with the help of AI agents and tools like Cursor(thx Ai). I think the time and money needed to create a good product have significantly decreased thanks to various SaaS programs.
However, I still don t have any references to introduce to you ( ). I feel like I ve neglected marketing, which is more important than making the product. (Please tell me this is the real reason...) Especially for indie makers like me, marketing is the hardest part (I wish someone could do it for me! ).
Making a good product and promoting it are both important, and it s a pointless debate.
Still, making vs. marketing? What do you all think?
And if there are any cost-free ways for indie marketers or beginner marketers to try out, could you let me know?

Pitch your startup in 5 words or less

Forget the pitch deck for a second. This is about grabbing attention fast. Share your startup in five words or less. The goal is to be clear, clever, or just bold enough to make people stop scrolling. Who knows, it could be a good marketing exercise

Trunk-Based Development vs GitFlow - What's your dev workflow?

In software engineering, trunk-based development (TBD) is a strategy to manage git workflows that favours merging commits into the `main` branch even before the feature is fully complete, instead of the git flow that favours working on long-lived branches until features are 100% complete.
TBD or GitFlow: What's your current developer workflow?

A good starter kit Vs No-Code

For non-techy founders, it is obvious that no-code is their choice, but how do you decide between so many no-code platforms out there? For technical founders, a good starter kit (most of them are open-source, free, and loaded with lots of defaults) can give you a huge leap to start working on your core features and complete them within a month or two. I'm interested to know if as a technical person, you prefer no-code vs starter kit these days? I'm a technical founder and building a starter kit. Because: Me & My team starts 2-3 projects every quarter for Startup and small businesses and want to avoid implementing same features again and again I want more startups to use .NET instead of another back-end stack. So, I'm launching my starter kit with fully loaded features at a very small price! I want to help more founders with their development, and the starter kit will allow me to finish 15-25 projects a year instead of 6-8! Love to know more about your thoughts!

Is ProductHunt good platform for launching developer tools like Starter Kit?

What do you think? Have you launched any developer tools on ProductHunt? How was your experience? What kind of traffic and sales did you receive on launch and in preceding weeks?

Do you really enjoy being a founder?

As an entrepreneur who started my journey at 15, I never thought that there was another path, but sometimes I hear the opinion from people who launched their startup that "being a founder is terrible." What is your opinion?

Hunters on PH: Their role, prices and some basics

More and more I see questions about Product Hunt Hunters so I would cover this topic like a small FAQ. 1. Who is PH Hunter? Someone active or well-known on the platform, popular, recognized, and has a high follower count or a significant number of launched products. But even a maker can hunt the product if decides or someone else. 2. What is the Hunter responsible for?

Who are Hunters in ProductHunt?

Hi everyone, I was talking to some ProductHunt experts on LinkedIn yesterday. He provided some good tips on my product page and mentioned about Hunters - people on ProductHunt who helps makers promote their products. How can I connect with some free/paid hunters? Is there any way to see all Hunters on ProductHunt? I will be launching soon and curious to know more about what kind of help they can provide. Have you used hunter to promote your launch? Did it worked?

What kind of SaaS are you starting to build in 2025?

We live in an age of instant gratification. No-code tools and AI are promising software development, making it faster and easier than ever before. We expect things to happen quickly. We want our food delivered in minutes, our movies streamed instantly, and our software built overnight. I'm curious to know who is starting a new SaaS in 2025? What problem your SaaS will be solving? Choose from below and comment why? how are you planning to build it?

Looking for tools for automated email or Linkedin follow-ups

Hey everyone, So as the title suggests, I am looking for a tool that can automate follow-ups to my manual outreach. Ideally it goes on until the prospect reply or the sequence ends. Also, if it can automate some Linkedin actions in the flow that would be even better. So basically if the prospect doesn t reply after 2 emails for example then I would like it try sending a Linkedin connection request. I know there are many tools out there I guess for this, but which ones do you all recommend - especially any free/cheap ones?

Which category is recommended for a SaaS Starter Kit for developers?

Hi All, I'm launching Brick - a SaaS Starter Kit for Startups. It's a project with fully working and tested source code with pre-built must-have features implemented for your next SaaS project so that you can start months ahead. I was curious about what category should I choose when launching. Is the developer tools category appropriate or should I change it to something else?
