Nithin, the primary reason for launching on Product Hunt was to tap into its vibrant community for honest feedback, which is invaluable for refining our product and driving iterative improvement. The added visibility and potential traffic boost were just the cherry on top!

Rupesh Ghimire · Answer

Well, actually, all of them. To be specific we are looking to receive feedback.

Anastasia Liamets · Answer

All of them, but we’re focusing on driving traffic and receiving a lot of feedback.

We’re launching in March, so let’s see how it does. But honestly getting product of the day is just a great validation + traffic + feedback and motivation. All in one. So we target #1 🚀

2) To receive feedback & validate for your new product

Nithin Jawahar · Answer

@arssirek yeah product hunt can get pretty competitive to gain visibility. When you are new to product it might better to get a hunter who can help plan, execute and distribute your launch.

If you're planning to launch another product, check phhunters.com to find a hunter for your lunch.

@anliamets Product of the day is the dream indeed. All the best for your launch!

I chose because it's the opportunity to get more traffic.

I launched my product on Product Hunt in January 2024 and discussed my strategy 'from 0 to Product Hunt in 4 weeks' along with the results in the video on my Youtube channel

For me, Nithin, the main draw was the invaluable feedback from a community well-versed in tech and startups—it's like a litmus test for product-market fit. The potential traffic boost was a bonus, but the insights gained were the real prize.

We recently launched primarily for a 2-ed reason, but it's honestly challenging to gain visibility and receive feedback. However, I believe it largely depends on the categories we select, which will require further research 😅

@eoin_bishop It depends on the stage the product is when we launch. But it's usually to get traffic in early stage of the product.
