Joining the Product Hunt platform has been an enlightening experience, teaching me the importance of community feedback in refining and improving products. It's also highlighted the power of visibility in a crowded market, showing that innovative ideas can truly stand out with the right exposure.

That there are really great people here, but at the same time our ability to freely discuss things is severely limited due to PH having to put up rigid fences in order to fight spam.
My honest review is as follows:
Pros:
1. Almost everyone is a founder or part of the product team
2. Everyone’s mission is same: get support for launch on PH
3. Everyone’s goal is same: get ranked high up in PH
4. Everyone is very positive
5. If you follow or engage you get it in kind
Cons:
1. Maintaining streaks for busy founders is very hard
2. No forgiveness for missing a day for sickness or other life-happened days
3. Other than creating new discussion which often look click-bait-ish there is no real engagement opportunity for free — example if we can get on a audio call like we do in X spaces to share ideas within PH, that would be wonderful
4. Being needy does not feel good for long term for anyone and people are likely to leave after they tried their launches. Manlybe I am wrong?
That it's both harder and easier to build a community than I thought. 😂 It's easier in a way that it just takes a lot of connecting and sharing experiences and knowledge. It's harder in a way that you need to do it regularly, create a habit, and actually invest a lot of time in it 🤔
By the way, we've launched today and could use any help from the community 🙏
