How to stay consistent on Product Hunt?
Today I celebrate a big milestone. 365 days in a row active on Product Hunt. Honestly, quite a number… given how many things happened in my life this year, it feels like I could write a book about it.
But consistency takes effort. Here are 3 things that helped me:
1.Make PH a daily habit.
Have it both on your phone and computer/laptop. It should feel natural to open it every single day.
2. Be active in the forums/interact with the products
Comment on products, join the forum, write your take. The more you interact, the more it becomes part of your routine.
3.Connect with other PH fans.
Connect with cool founders. Marketers. Developers. People who are active on PH. When you see fellow makers posting on LinkedIn/X, it nudges you to jump in and check PH too. @busmark_w_nika is the best example.
Why it’s worth it?
You meet incredible people. Founders with unique experiences. People with +999999 amount of knowledge and skills.
You discover amazing products the moment they launch. You're one step ahead of every competitor.
Curious: how do you stay consistent here?
Do you have a daily routine, or do you check in only around launches?

Huge congrats on hitting 365 days, Consistency like that really compounds.
I am on a 768-day streak myself, and I can totally relate it’s not always easy, but the connections, ideas, and inspiration here make it worth showing up every single day.

And happy to connect with you!

Love the 3-step playbook. How do you avoid doom-scrolling? Do you set a 10–15 min timer or a daily cap on comments?

Firstly, Congrats on the big milestone @byalexai ! You don't just open PH, I've seen you with some very interesting conversations in forums. Keep it up 🔥
Here is my hack for consistency (even though I break it): let a quick 10-minute window every morning for PH. Check launches, drop a few comments, and reply to friends.
The trick is enjoying the interactions, not just ticking boxes.
The community vibe here keeps me showing up (even after product launches are over)!

Huge congrats on the milestone, Aleksandar.
I had a 400 day streak, but it reset recently even though I stayed active. It felt disappointing at first, but it reminded me that what really matters is showing up not just the number. Starting again with the same energy.
I still have some "days off" on PH, but try to be consistent. PH app widget on my phone helps me to track the steak and reminds me to contribute.
