Does the new forum design affect your post engagement?

I m still getting used to the new forum design. But I ve been wondering, does the new layout or features impact how much engagement your posts get? Do you feel it s helping your posts stand out more, or has it made things quieter?

DeepSeek, ChatGPT, or Claude?

With so many incredible AI models out there DeepSeek, ChatGPT, Claude, and more it s tough to pick a favorite! Each one shines in its own way, and now users have the freedom to explore and choose the one that fits their needs best. I m beyond excited to share that my product, Verve AI Interview Copilot, now supports multiple models, including DeepSeek! This means users can customize their experience and get the most out of their AI-powered tools. What s your go-to AI model, and what makes it your favorite?

What monetization strategy do you apply during the launch on Product Hunt?

I noticed that many of you are using discounts, which is great. Well, recently I started "witnessing" a very specific behaviour about myself: I am more likely to purchase products with a one-time payment rather than a subscription plan when they are launched. Do you have the same from the user's point of view? Startups and businesses, what monetization strategies are you using on this special day?

OpenAI or Anthropic (Claude)?

What do you prefer more for yourself and your startup?

What’s one feature PH could add to better recognize makers?

The Kitty Point system is a great start for recognizing contributions to PH, but what else could be implemented to better showcase makers' creativity, effort, and impact?

🎉 365 days of Product Hunt streak – but don’t ask me what I’ve been up to

I ve officially hit a full year of daily activity on Product Hunt and, honestly, I haven t been very active. But hey, I ve been here every single day lurking, discovering, and pretending to be productive.

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?

What "Bad" habits or mindset make you less productive? And how do you fight it?

Sometimes I have a feeling I could use my potential more. E.g. Spending too much time on the internet I could go exercise or read books. Not taking advantage of relationships in terms of networking I should socialise more and ask for help (because I do not do that.). Not being a part of some co-working or so I could have more friends and we could create some projects. ---------- Are you aware of something in your life that keeps you behind? How do you overcome it or compensate?

If Product Hunt had a swipe feature, what would be on your profile?

Imagine if Product Hunt had a swipe feature a bit like a dating app, but for products and makers. What would you highlight on your profile to grab attention and make people swipe right? I d probably go for an eye-catching title paired with a creative prompt to introduce my product something that sparks curiosity and starts a conversation. A fun GIF or quirky tagline might also help me stand out. What about you? How would you showcase yourself or your product in this swipe-worthy world?

Instagram has announced a new app called Edits following the ban of CapCut in the US.

After TikTok and CapCut was banned in the US over the weekend, Meta announced it's new video editing app as an alternative to CapCut. The TikTok is now partially restored crediting Trump with restoring service. As a result of President Trump s efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.! the message reads on the app. It's still missing from the app store. What do you think will happen next? Share your thoughts in the comments. :)

How do you like the new UI of the Product Hunt page with Golden Kitty Awards?

I opened the main page and was surprised. It was quite a pleasant change. How do you like it?

What’s a subscription you’ll never cancel, and what’s one you’ve dropped recently?

For me, I don t see myself canceling my GPT subscription anytime soon. I use it regularly for generating marketing and SEO-related content, and it s been a huge time-saver. But I recently canceled a meal kit subscription. It was convenient at first, but I realized I wasn t using it enough to justify the cost. What about you? What s a subscription you can t live without, and what s one you ve recently dropped?

Are convenience products making life better or just more complicated?

From grocery delivery apps to smart home gadgets, convenience products are everywhere, promising to make life easier. But do they really free up time, or are they just adding more complexity to our daily routines? What s a convenience product you absolutely can t live without or one you ended up regretting buying?

The two prices we pay for the things we buy

I recently came across an insightful article that discussed how most things we buy come with two prices. The first price is the actual dollar amount we pay to own the item. The second price is the time, effort, and mental energy required to actually use and maintain it. For example, I bought a record player because I loved the idea of listening to vinyl it felt nostalgic and special. But after the purchase, I realized the "second price" involved setting up the player, managing speakers, and sticking to fixed playlists. Eventually, I found myself back on Spotify because of its convenience and flexibility. Have you ever bought something, only to discover the "second price" wasn t worth it? I d love to hear about your experiences with these hidden costs of ownership.
