Manage your products & launches
My products now lets you easily see all your products and launches (draft, scheduled, and posted) in one place for simple management. If you missed the memo about why you should care about your product after launch day, read more here.
Self service ads
Product Hubs have a new promote tab that houses tools for makers to continue finding new customers on Product Hunt after launch day. Hub members can access self service ads from this page to run campaigns that expand their reach to a thousands of tech users and buyers daily. Follow these steps to use self service ads or learn more about advertising on Product Hunt.
Comment prompts
Me: âI love this product and want to contribute some helpful feedback.â
Also me: âCongrats on the launch!â
Makers can now add a prompt on their launch post to help kickstart the conversation and specify the types of feedback they are looking for. Hereâs a great example of how this new tool can be used.
Congrats to all the Golden Kitty Award winners, finalists, and nominees! Donât miss the Hall of Fame. Pro tip - itâs really fun to watch the winners revealed in the mobile app! Download if you're wondering what 'Jazzy French' sounds likeâŚđˇđĽ
Comment awards
One of the reasons we love our community so much is that genuine feedback is not hard to come by. Now, you can get recognized by makers for your helpful suggestions, finds, and witty comments.
Makers - we encourage you to hand out these awards (3 per launch) and share the love with your supporters. Do so by reviewing your launch post comments and clicking âawardâ on the ones youâd like to highlight.
The Golden Kitty Awards
If youâre new here, you may not have heard about our favorite event every year, which is basically like the Oscars of Tech. The Golden Kitty Awards are voted on by the community to celebrate the best products and makers each year.
How it works: You nominate products in each of the categories from now through Friday, January 13, at 11:59pm PT. Then on Monday, January 16, youâll start voting for finalists in each category.
In total, there are 24 categories, which you can nominate and vote for who youâd like to take home a reimagined, sleek kitty trophy.
Keep in mind: Products you nominate need to have launched in 2022.
Product Hunt Rewind
2022 will go down in history as the year everyone did their own version of Spotify Wrapped - so in the highest form of flattery, we did it as well. The fun backstory is that Product Hunt Rewind was an idea born from our internal Hackathon where the small team of engineers, designers, and marketers built this experience in nearly 1 week and took home their own Golden Kitty.
Get your Rewind to see and share your stats from 2022! If you already have the Product Hunt mobile app installed, make sure youâre on the latest version to see your Rewind. And thanks for all the love from those that already shared!
Streaks widget
To all our competitive friends - we get it, we love streaks too. Our mobile team did us all a favor and designed a mobile home screen streak widget. See your current streak and always stay vigilant and on top of your streak game. Get the mobile app if youâre still missing out.
EOY recap
This yearâs been a blast - thanks for being a part of it! A quick lookback on some highlights:
We have a little teaser of our ownâŚ
Two weeks ago most of our team got together IRL in Austin, Texas for a Hackathon. We had a ton of fun (any other board game and karaoke enthusiasts out there?) but also built a ton of new/helpful/fun/quirky stuff weâre unleashing on Product Hunt in the new year. See you in Jan!
What were your favorite changes this year and what do you hope to see in the new year? Weâd love to hear from you!
Celebrating the longest streaks on PH
Itâs been more than a year since we first introduced streaks to help our community track their daily engagement with Product Hunt. In that time, itâs quickly become one of our most talked about new features on Twitter and beyond.
We are introducing a streak âleaderboardâ to make it easier to celebrate our most active community members with the longest streaks.
To start your streak, make sure you are logged in while visiting Product Hunt. Your streak count will increase with every day that you access Product Hunt via desktop or mobile web or app.
To access the leaderboard, click the link below your streak on the Homepageâs sidebar to âview streak rankingâ. You can also find the option âVisit streaksâ on the main navigation under the âCommunityâ section.
Special kudos to @ankit, @jun, @dirk, @jeff, @deepu, @kevin_t for the impressive 401 days streak without a single miss since we introduced the feature.
Best Products đ
The new feed that shows best products by category, ranked by reviews and followers, is another great way to discover highly-valued products and another way for makers to win! Use the topic filters to explore PH community favorites.
Mobile apps: Discover page
If youâve updated your app this week, youâll see a brand new Discover page that now includes sections for curated collections and recommended people to follow. Donât miss the latest gift guides turned into collections.
Ship update
Some of you may have noticed that Ship has been removed from our main navigation menu. This change was made because we are no longer accepting new sign-ups. Existing Ship users will be able to continue using Ship features and renewing their subscriptions until further notice.
Read more about this change in our FAQs or as always, feel free to contact our support team!
Activity feed
Remember that interesting discussion you were involved in last month that youâre not able to find anymore? Now your profile displays a complete activity feed showing your latest comments, reviews, and discussions in chronological order. You can also view other peopleâs activity feeds, so you can see what your favorite PHâers have been up to.
Mobile updates
5.3.0 for iOS and Android released late last week! The app updates included a way to view and edit collections, an updated change log in your settings, and my personal favorite⌠a fun animation to celebrate your latest streak! Fun fact: the best all-time streak is 385 days, and it's a three way tie between @jun_gong, @pradeeb28 and @ankitsharmaofficial!
Featured makers
Last, but not least - you may have noticed some new friendly-faces in your home feed.

Coming Soon feed
Something weâve been obsessing over is how to make Product Hunt more valuable to both makers and non-makers. The new Coming Soon feed aims to do just that.
Makers - We know how much effort and preparation goes into a launch. An important part of that is teasing it just enough to build anticipation and hype for launch day.
This new feed allows you to highlight your scheduled launch as much as 30 days in advance. This gives you more time to gain momentum â on the feed and with a slick Coming Soon banner on your Hub page. Learn more.
For everyone else - Donât you love knowing what product launches are coming soon? Help support the launches that pique your interest, and sign up to receive notifications when they go live so that youâre one of the first to know.
As always, let us know how we can make this one better by dropping your comments below.
Product Hubs
Our vision for Product Hubs is to be your single source of truth and the place to find everything about a productâs journey. Since launching Product Hubs in June, weâve received 800 requests to update pages. We hear you. So today weâre making it possible for the owners of these pages to make edits!
Who can manage? Makers of a product and their team members
What can I manage? Team permissions, content (title, photos, tagline, etc.)

Extended launch scheduling
For those of you that plan ahead, makers can now schedule their launches up to 30 days in advance! Scheduled posts can always be edited and rescheduled so donât hesitate to try out this updated scheduling feature.
If you have something you plan to launch in the next month and you want to participate in early access to an exciting feature weâre releasing soon, please reach out to hello@producthunt.co.
Mobile apps profiles
The mobile team pushed a release today for iOS and Android that updated your profile page to include the following:
Versions of the mobile older than 5.0 will be decommissioned on November 15th. If you need to update, nowâs the time to do it!
The shipping spree continues!
With the introduction of Product Hubs earlier this year, we had to reframe how we think about collections and shift from collecting launches to collecting products. The updates we made also make it easier to discover and search for collections based on keywords.
Along with these functional changes, we adjusted the page design, allowing for a brief overview and a preview of the products in the collections on the index page. The cleaner design will allow you to easily see if the collection is curated by our Product Hunt team or someone in the community.
Some new collections we made for you include calendar and to do list apps, apps powered by AI, tools for becoming a pro at SEO, and top-rated no-code tools.
We also featured collections made by some of the experts in our community that we think are really great. These include Chris Messinaâs new Mac stack, Amir Ashkenaziâs startup CEO stack, Elizabeth Yinâs worksuite, popular tools for a Product Management Stack from Lenny Rachitsky. Check âem out!
Donât fret - youâll still be able to collect products from Launch Pages and Product Hubs by clicking the collect icon. Manage your personal collections in your profile to keep track of all your faves. If youâre an expert with a collection you we should know about, let us know by shooting an email to content@producthunt.co.
Same concept, new look. The thought: letâs optimize these pages to drive more traffic to Product Hubs. If youâre a maker, thatâs good news for you, seeing as more people will stumble across your products this way. If youâre looking for alternatives, view the related products section on the sidebar of select Product Hubs.
Whatâs new:

Here are just a few things to look forward to:
