From 35 points to getting acquired - next-forge is now part of Vercel
by•
@haydenbleasel just shared the news on X: @next-forge has been acquired by @Vercel.
next-forge is a production-grade @Turbo template for @Next.js apps to help you launch scalable applications without weeks of initial setup.
When it first launched on Product Hunt in October 2023, the product got 35 points. One year later, it got 10 points.
From my perspective, this tells an important story: Getting awarded on Product Hunt is challenging, and this shouldn't stop you from launching.
Launch, and keep launching. It pays off in the long term.
S/O to @haydenbleasel for keeping up the great work.
The new @next-forge is live today. See launch →
Edit 2025-06-07: @next-forge by Vercel got 368 points, ranked #4 Product of the Day. Keep launching!

Sure, the ranks sometimes tell a different story. I got #4 in one of my launches but made $0 from that. Still got a backlink and a network. Congrats
Interesting point, thanks for sharing this.
Thank you for sharing: it just proves a point that if you believe in your idea, just keep going regardless of any ranking...
spot on!
