Very nice! much better the the platforms. If i understand correctly any topic can be added to any hunt by anyone. And can be removed only by the maker/hunter. What about adding the voting option to the topics? So the community can vote how relevant a topic is to the hunt.
LOVE that idea and we've bounced it around internally as well. The tricky part is execution and ensuring we get enough signal from people to truly curate something within that specific Topic, from the beginning.
Is there a way to follow a topic once you visit the topic page itself? It seems like a common use case (based on my own experience) is 1) Hmm... should I follow this topic 2) Click on topic to see what's in it 3) Neato, how to I follow this?
ugh, I must be a total bonehead. I didn't see it at all in the right-hand sidebar. :facepalm:
Awesome feature! Three ideas for improvement: 1. Keep topics distinct. I see "Board Game" and "Tabletop Games" and don't know what the difference. Or "DJ Khaled" and "Celebrities". DJ Khaled looks like a celebrity for me :) 2. Keep icons distinct. Just look at "Weird" and "Pranking". 3. Don't keep unpopular topics. For example, if some topic would stay with zero followers for a year, delete it. I think quality is better than quantity for topics. Anyway I'm glad that I can follow my favorite GIFs topic. Big thanks for this feature :)
All great topics 😱😱😱
Congrats 😉 is there a URL scheme format that allows topics to be opened in the iOS app?
not yet! Working on adding this to the iOS app shortly.
Hey Ryan, congrats on the launch of Topics! So how do products get added to / categorized to topics?
There's an editable "Topics" tag cloud area in the right sidebar of each product's page.
Can't be greater. That's what I'm looking for in PH.:)
Nice! There's a lot of potential here. I'll be really happy to see a Product Hunt curated to my taste in the future. The fewer DJ Khaled, Trump or cat GIFs products I have to sift through, the better.
I couldn't agree more! I think this is a great step forward for PH in terms of refocusing on great products and not so many "gimmicks".
Wow so many great topics...I want to follow them ALL! 😸
Excellent! Sneakers & Shoes - was waiting for that one for a while...Topic of "Lifestyle Goods" like Backpacks, t-shirts etc. would be cool too!
