... long time, Streaks were the main signal of activity on Product Hunt. But streaks only showed who visited every day. Opening the site or app daily doesn t necessarily mean someone is adding enough value. That s where Kitty Coins come in. Kitty

... Today, @gabe and the Product Hunt team launched Randomised Leaderboard Day . I need to say that I enjoy every gamification aspect which this platform offers. PH Streaks PH Kitty points Leaderboard Todays Randomised Leaderboard (Partially) Orbit Awards It makes me stick to this platform for longer and enjoy participating. I can bet this community has many ideas for similar "sub-projects" that could improve the experience in the form of games. Do you have in your mind other gamification activities ... ... certain rank to give them more visibility. Comment from Dan Johnson(@dan_johnson7): I m actually a big fan of all the little gamification bits on PH, it s one of the reasons I keep coming back! Streaks, Kitty

... everyone! A few days ago I spotted @rohanrecommends sharing PH s brand new Kitty Coin leaderboard . This is definitely one of the biggest changes on PH recently. Now it s baked right into every profile homepage: Gone is the old single total score + gold/silver/bronze medals. Instead we get a clean, multi-dimensional view that feels way more balanced visually. To me, it actually pushes us to explore PH in lots of different ways. Even if we all have our favorite ...

... Over the past few days, you may have noticed a new account on Product Hunt called "Curious Kitty" commenting on some launch posts. It was created on 20th December 2025. First observation: it behaves like a bot. It only asks questions (no opinions, no praise, no criticism) and those comments get visually highlighted, similar to how awarded comments stand out on Reddit. (screenshot attached) Comment screenshot from Blinq launch post today! The account has a couple followers including ... ... team members, which makes it feel less random and more like an internal quiet experiment. @mikekerzhner @rajsb_ The questions are actually good. They re structured, product-aware and often push founders to explain positioning, use cases or differentiation. Curious Kitty

... Product of the Week. @Aikido Security - In the growing context of vibe coding and related security issues , the DevSecOps company is spot on: "Security is an everyone problem."

... true Product Hunt (r)evolution so many things changed dramatically. I honestly think this was the most intense year of changes the platform has ever had. For example, we got to experience all of this: Verifying profiles (badges) Alternative product suggestions on launch pages Views and online count on forum posts Adding/Removing the ambassador program Forums instead of Discussions Changing the UX/UI of launch pages Removing Coming soon (Notify me pages) Adding/Removing downvotes on comments Forum comments now showing ... ... profiles More extensive footer Redesign of the main page UI (e.g., new notification icon) Removing Kitty

... update: after ten years, we re officially sunsetting the Golden Kitty Awards. They ve been a huge part of Product Hunt s history, but the ecosystem has changed. AI moves fast, new categories show up constantly, and a once-a-year award no longer reflects how products actually grow. Most of the real story now happens after launch day. So we re introducing something built for this pace: The Orbit Awards. Orbit is a quarterly award series focused on traction ... ... indicators deserves recognition! But there should be clearer rules, so that people can work hard and continue to pay attention to it. Looking forward to the new phase!

... noticed that the purpose of people on Product Hunt is always different. Of course, the vast majority want to become the Product of the Day, Week, Month, or Year (or win Kitty Awards). However, some are there for the community and their success metrics may lie in something else (e.g. the number of discussions created and rated). Which of the following metrics are you here for? Or, which do you place the most/least importance on? Become the top Product ... ... Week, Month, Year) Win Kitty

... startups. This is surreal. A dream. That moment of HOLY SH*T, did we actually do this? Unicorns Club a tiny team of just six people, backed by a single angel investor, no VC money just won a Golden Kitty Award. And not just any award, but the one that placed us alongside OpenAI, Google, Figma, Mercury, Notion, and other giants. A year ago, this was just an idea. No big budgets, no seasoned startup team. Just a handful ...
