... most popular so far. That s the basic approach I would personally follow. Do you have your own hacks or strategies for using Product Hunt discussions? :) Comment from Oluwole Zacheus(@emmadagold): This is really useful advice, especially the point about contributing to existing discussions before trying to promote your own product.

... structural failures I was seeing in individual emails were isolated mistakes or a consistent pattern across the industry. So I picked companies: Semrush, HeyGen, Optimizely, Revolut, Notion, Perplexity, ElevenLabs, Zoho, Wiz, dbt Labs, ran their emails through a 7-point diagnostic framework I'd developed, scored them, named the failure patterns, rebuilt the emails, and published everything publicly. 59 teardowns.
