Everyone has the spam words list. "Free." "Urgent." "Act now." "Limited time." Use them and your email dies in spam.

It doesn't.

A few days ago, we launched mailX by mailwarm (YC S20) on Product Hunt. We finished #2 Product of the Day.

And today, we re launching @Mailwarm2.0.

The obvious value of Product Hunt is visibility: traffic, followers, backlinks, social proof, maybe customers.

But honestly, the part I m starting to value even more is the GTM learning.

In our meetings, we usually keep debating about what features to add to our product. But honestly, we need to be able to say NO to that.

Building became even easier with AI, so it is tempting to add a ton of features. The cost is how complex your app becomes. This is why products get messy fast. Usually it looks fine for old users, because they learned each feature slowly while you built it. But new users open the app and feel lost.

@busmark_w_nika asked yesterday what PH is missing and what people would improve. I am sure the team has enough to cook with now. So I want to ask the opposite:

• What should Product Hunt kill? What feature would the product be better without?

• What did you say NO to in your own product?

• What feature would you remove from a big product you use?
