... known maker. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @tijogaucher  If the product reflect the problem of the founder, it is better to present it, esp. also from the foudners perspective (he/she is more passionate about the topic) and you feel that vibe :) Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @luka83184  also it depends what kind of product you offer, ideally, it should match your personal brand, problem and interests :) Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @new_user___1102026a5df18af33327f5c ... ... category the product belongs :) Thank you :) Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @jinji_huang  I think that B2B product can be the most sensitive (as you mentioned). But B2C as well, because people still perceive you like a celebrity/influencer

... marketers and creators discover share-worthy content ideas from real conversations and trending articles across hundreds of categories. Instead of generic suggestions, you get ideas based on the topics that are actively being discussed online. The goal is simple. Create content faster. Stay relevant.

For example, if you see more ChatGPT-user agent visits on pages / blog posts pertaining to a particular feature e.g. integration capabilities, then you know to include prompts on this topic in your set AND perhaps weight them more heavily when calculating your overall visibility. This approached combined with reliable search volume data (like you mention) I think can make the results a bit more robust. It would be really nice ... ... across B2B SaaS companies too. One pattern worth adding from what we have observed working on AI search optimization at GrackerAI: the gap between "mentioned by the LLM" and "recommended by the LLM" is massive. A lot of companies celebrate

... Comment from Rob James(@r221): Wait, people create advent calendars as products on here? That's interesting, but I can't help but wonder if some of those time or season-based products are relying too much on being topical rather than bringing value and being fresh. Maybe that's the wrong way to look at it?

... into the last week of November, which is a little nuts to me. It feels like last week we rang in the 2025 new year celebrations. There's been a ton of new products launch this year, unsurprisingly a lot of them with "AI" in their name. What product or products stood out to you the most? For me it has to be @Wispr Flow , it's completely changed the game on how I interact with my devices, I rarely ... ... great ones!

... Europe. Comment from Robin Greenwood(@robingreenwood): @busmark_w_nika  Not sure about Sweden, but a very large part of German's population is 60+ And this upside down pyramid isn't getting any better. It's must-have topic. Questions might be: who feels responsible in helping solve it, and where's the business model Comment from Melonie Green(@melonie_green1): This resonates a lot. I think part of the reason longevity and health tools show up less here ... ... long-term use don t demo well in a launch-day moment. Many health and care products are designed to reduce risk or slow decline, not create an obvious wow, and that makes them harder to fund, ship, and celebrate

... previous success on Product Hunt. Basically, with each event, you re creating content and keeping the conversation around the occasion alive for a longer period of time. P.S. It s a good idea to post Product Hunt-related topics in the p/producthunt forum so they appear under the right category. Do you have any other suitable activities on mind? Comment from Anisha Agarwalla(@anisha_agarwalla): @busmark_w_nika  we're launching an AI-powered interactive tool that lets ... ... just wins from the launch. It's important to balance follow-ups between creating new content versus amplifying existing launch assets without overwhelming their audience - its an area where I think I miss.

... only with influencers who show real engagement. Networks & format: Micro-influencers on LinkedIn/Instagram with niche communities, where the content is more authentic (short reels, case-style posts, or product demo integrations), tend to be more valuable than celebrity shoutouts. Results: From what I ve seen and heard in the ecosystem, larger follower counts don t guarantee conversions. Often, a creator with 5K 10K highly engaged followers drives better outcomes than one with 500K+. That s why I believe ... ... beats paid ads every time. Curious to hear what others have paid and what actually moved the needle Comment from Atique Bandukwala(@atique_bandukwala1): @busmark_w_nika  also to add something here while we are discussing this topic

... This topic popped into my head because during holidays, vacations, and hot summer days, we re all a little less online, and it shows in the drop in upvotes and reach. But that also got me thinking: maybe this is the perfect time to talk about your PH launch offline . Here are a few examples: If you are going to a conference to pitch a product, mention your upcoming launch during your presentation. If you have a booth ... ... outdoors doing their own promotion. I walked up to one of them and asked them if I could take a photo of them with our card. They said, I'd need $20, I said sure, you definitely are giving celebrity

... that? And I think what you're describing is a bit different from what I was asking about! You're talking about retention offers when someone's already a paying customer trying to cancel/downgrade. Super important topic for sure! I was more curious about that specific moment when a FREE trial ends and someone hasn't converted yet - like how Notion, Canva, etc. handle that transition. It's such a delicate moment because you're asking someone ... ... cheeky modal kind of like, Your dashboard is safe but looks a bit lean without Pro features!

Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @skovalev  To be honest, deco and housing are not my main topics

... what retains users is the true value of the product itself free trials are merely a bridge to help users discover that value, not the deciding factor. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): Oooooh, this is a very good topic. I cannot say what I would choose (depending on the product, team size, etc.), but I would play with these scenarios: The product is FREE ONLY on that particular launch day Product with the discount (e.g. 50% OFF) A product ... ... mohamed_helal4): A free trial even if it's limited. Comment from Joe Pacal(@jsph): This is definitely something we're debating for our upcoming launch. Our take so far is small trial for evaluation, and a discount code celebrating

... many roles). The area that could be really human is creating communities where people can chat and gather. Personally, from a marketer's perspective, Reddit seems quite real to me as a product, especially the community where people discuss topics. Comment from Mark Hokil(@mark_hokil): Love this thoughtful approach! One product that felt truly human to me was Notion - it s flexible, calm, and adapts to how you think, not the other way around. Would love a sneak peek ... ... qualities: 1 Small interactive details (personalized welcome message or funny loading animation, etc.).

... scenarios that I personally see are: That entrepreneurs either don't have that family, or if they have one, they have adapted their flexible work life to the 9 to 5 regime as well.

... think Product Hunt discussions have become as cold as ice lately? Or maybe I just don t get which topics work best for my discussion themes? Last summer/autumn, discussions seemed to get more replies and upvotes people felt more cozy and engaged back then in comments. Comment from Rajiv Ayyangar(@rajiv_ayyangar): @konrad_sx  I actually think p/self-promotion has been more active than I expected, and I see a lot of potential there.

Game Nights or Trivia: Quick, fun breaks that build camaraderie. Shoutout Channels: A Slack/Discord space for celebrating wins and milestones. Async 'Watercooler' Threads: Weekly prompts like What's the best thing you watched this week? I would love to hear what's worked for others. Do you have any creative ideas?

... implementation of the GDPR (too much paperwork, for example), then is important to flag that issues and not the regulation itself. Otherwise you will gain no support. Having ambition is good, and should be, at least, respected; and ideally celebrated - but the opposite applies. Wanting a 35h work week in a menial job should be also, at least, respected.
