Welcome, Product Hunters! One year ago we launched Refind here on Product Hunt. Refind is a community of hipsters, hackers, and hustlers who discover, save, and read what’s really worth their attention. Refind is growing and today we’re launching Refind for Writers, an opportunity for writers to reach our community. HOW IT WORKS - Users follow people and interests to get today’s top links in their feed. - Now they can also follow their favorite writers. - Writers publish their content on their site: on their Medium, WordPress blog, or whatever. - Their links get imported automatically via Twitter. - Writers and their links get featured and recommended to matching users. - Users read, save, and share the stories on Twitter and Facebook. WHO’S ALREADY ON BOARD - People like Ryan Hoover , Chris Messina , Nir Eyal , Dan Ariely , Rand Fishkin , Hiten Shah , John Battelle , M.G. Siegler , Werner Vogels , Tobias van Schneider , Gabriel Weinberg , Christoph Janz , etc. - Publications like The Next Web, Quartz, Buffer, Moz, NewCo, NZZ, etc. - Here’s the full list: ARE YOU A WRITER? Get on board now: 1. Sign up for Refind here: 2. Auto-import your links from Twitter: in the onboarding or in the settings 3. Request the writer badge: NOT A WRITER? Use this invite to join our community. If you have any questions, reach out to us in the comments or by email: Thanks for your interest! Dominik
The link for the full list of writers isn't working. Where can I find it? Ps. it's WordPress with a capital P.
Thanks, fixed. Full list is here:
Hi Dom, been using Refind for a few months now and quite keen to start utilising it for my own content that I typically publish to Medium and other sites. I have a series of tongue in cheek posts/articles that I tend to do once a quarter on the "state" of marketing under a pseudonym within various digital professional circles. In regards to the kind of articles you're looking to feature is it all serious help you're looking for or does the humorous fluff have a home there too? I tend to bundle one or two actual tips in there in where I call out the bad tips and advice that you typically get from those trying to jump on the buzzword bandwagon. Long question short, is that kind of content welcome there too?
Put me on the list! :)
I've been super impressed by 's relentless pace of execution on Refind. He and I have a casual collaboration going back to the start of Refind, and he keeps surprising me with great ideas and approaches to the problem of surfacing the best stuff to read from across the web, making it easy and practical to consume it (i.e. with ), and then making it easy to rediscover these links when you're looking for them (i.e. by with the ). Now he's providing features to give writers the chance to reach the Refind audience, aggregating their best content (i.e. that which is worthy of being promoted on Twitter) and surfacing it to their Refind followers. It's a smart and more personal answer to Pocket's more general . You can use my invite link to sign up and follow me:
I just love that hipster is a now branded as a professional category :)
Hehe :)
Brilliantly made, I love the UX of the web app and onboarding flow. One issue I would like to point to is regarding the neatness of "tags"/"interests". For example, I followed "react", so it recommended "reactjs" to me too, which I think broadly should be one interest so we're not introducing too much clutter -- are you planning to tackle this?
Yes, tag normalization is on our radar!
Sounds great! Using it right now.
I've never heard of this product before but after just signing up it looks super slick and polished. The Pocket app sits on my home screen, but you are right, read later becomes read never! Really looking forward to checking this out and seeing if its helps me consume more of the best content I usually miss... 😎
That's great to hear! So I assume you've seen ? That's really important to us.
great read, explains it all perfectly and I think it makes lots of sense! Glad to now be a part of it!
Signing up as a writer right away. Have loved Refind till now, can't wait to see how this iteration evolves. Cheers!
Refind looks amazing! Great stuff with the personal newsletter powered by the tweeted links etc 🙂
Woohoo! Got my writer's badge on , who needs the verified tick on Twitter ;) Congrats !
LOL, I applied for the Twitter badge, gave up waiting for it :)
I'll admit I haven't continued to use reader apps beyond the week I signed up for them, but Refind has a slight twist that gets me excited. It has a more direct connection to writers, just like Product Hunt has a direct connection to makers. Requested my writer badge!
Great to hear! Hope you'll stick around for a very long time. :)
Is it Medium?
aesthetically similar, yes, but no, it is not.
could you explain a difference? Really interesting.
Medium is for writing content, Refind is for saving links and rediscovering stuff you've already seen. It also helps you manage your reading list (but not just from Medium, from everywhere).
