I have been a Product Hunt user for 5 years now, and it's been amazing to see how much the platform has evolved.
That said, I sometimes feel the absence of AI-native features. Things like smart filtering of fake profiles during the signup stage, automated link health checks on launch pages, or even an AI-driven support assistant (remember the old chat widget?).
Sometimes I have a problem to have a look at my past milestones or things I have achieved so far. When I think about it, even creating my first product was a success for me. I ve always been a bit shy and afraid to show what I was working on, or I just didn t know how to present it properly, so it took me a really long time.
My first product was an online workout program with a payment gateway, and the monthly price was ridiculously low. But I managed to monetise it and had my first customers. I was probably around 20 at the time.
What was your first product?
What would you do differently to maintain it and make it successful?
