I decide what's featured on the leaderboard - AMA w/ Gabe from Product Hunt
Hi everyone, Gabe here! I lead curating Product Hunt's leaderboard.First thing I will say is that if I could feature every single product that works, I would. I love supporting makers and demoing products. I actually try to test every single thing that gets hunted every day... which is A TON.  But I view our job as to surface the most interesting, novel, useful, and innovative products - daily. Now we may not always get it right, the process isn't perfect, but we're trying to do right by the community.Hopefully, you've noticed that over the past months the quality of the leaderboard has felt really good. (Please share your thoughts!) Some of the things that I've been doing aside from testing and reviewing products is reaching out to makers to help them with their launches, provide feedback on why something may not be featurable, and help makers craft their best launch as possible. Scalable -> no.  Huge impact -> I think so. I'm working with the team on how to create a more scalable version of this but for now just know I try to make myself available to you all.Top mistakes I've seenProduct is waitlistedPeople schedule a draft.... (we have a draft function!)Maker's profile is their product/business and not an actual user accountTagline does not describe the product ie. "Best way to earn users" vs "Capture user data with a single button in your iOS app"Too much marketing jargon, not enough product description / storyNO PRODUCT SHOTS/VIDEOS -> just marketing fluff imagesOnly one image that is a low quality screenshotUsing a paid service for upvotes/hunters -> this will get you unfeatured or severely impact your launchSome other notes to consider:We've gotten stricter on keeping true to our Featuring Guidelines.We highly recommend making a draft and sharing with folks to make sure it passes the "mom test" -> do they get what you're launching?If you can quickly Google a solution that similar to what you're launching then really make sure your launch stands out. Focus on highlighting what's special about your product vs being too general.Highly recommend having a loom or some sort of visual that showcases the start process, the end result your product produces, and what's special about your product.Be honest, authentic, and have fun.With all that being said, AMA! I'll try to answer as much as I can without getting fired
