When I first launched on Product Hunt, I had no idea what to expect. I wasn t sure anyone would notice our little startup, and honestly, I felt intimidated. Everyone seemed so established, and I didn t know where I fit in.
But then something incredible happened. A kind comment from @aaronoleary. Encouragement from the PH community. Support from the Product Hunt team when we ran into issues. A hunt from @benln. A thoughtful reply from @rajiv_ayyangar himself.
That first launch became Product of the Day.
We were later nominated for Product of the Year.
In 2023, I was named Community Member of the Year.
And now in 2025, I ve been invited to serve as a Product Hunt Ambassador!
Same deal as before. If this is the first time your product is going anywhere public, launch by midnight tonight (PT time), add the Alpha launch tag, and you'll be put on a special leaderboard. Alpha launches also get a boost on the leaderboard
@Wispr Flow launched on Product Hunt back in 2024. Since then it has become one of those tools that quietly sticks. It's the AI dictation tool a bunch of us here use day to day (yes, there are still a few people committed to typing everything out). It works anywhere on your Mac or PC, so you can just talk and have clean text land wherever your cursor is.
For the next three days, it is showing up on the leaderboard in a different way. From April 14 to 16, you can upvote and comment on Product Hunt using Wispr Flow directly. If you use dictation, those upvotes and comments will carry a bit more weight. Try it out by clicking the Wispr Flow unit on the Leaderboard and telling it to upvote a product name
Product Hunt is best known for its homepage, a daily leaderboard of the most creative and innovative products on the internet. Makers go all out to win launch day, because that visibility matters. Product Hunt also plays a significant role in how products appear in Google search results.
What surprised us was that AI assistants like ChatGPT were rarely citing Product Hunt in product recommendations.
Product Hunt changed my life. A year ago I stepped in as CEO, and a couple weeks ago we launched Product Forums (which you're reading this on!). Before that I founded and launched @Tandem (virtual office - YC S19), and @Cryptagon.io.
Ask me anything about Product Hunt, launching, startups, YC, or what we're trying to do with forums!
Forget the pitch deck for a second. This is about grabbing attention fast. Share your startup in five words or less. The goal is to be clear, clever, or just bold enough to make people stop scrolling. Who knows, it could be a good marketing exercise
Hello Product Hunt! We are thinking of spinning up topic specific, weekly digest newsletters that break up the firehose of goodness that is the Product Hunt leaderboard. What topics would you subscribe to? Who would you like to see sponsor these newsletters?
Here is an early prototype of what an AI Agent Digest newsletter might look like: https://gist.github.com/kerzhner...
