šŸ˜» What makes you open Product Hunt?

by
ā€¢

After creating an account on Product Hunt, opening it slowly became a daily habit for me.

Checking new products, reading discussions, discovering what others are building...

One day I noticed thereā€™s a ā€œday streakā€ feature I didnā€™t even know about and honestly was surprised =D

After launching , opening Product Hunt became even more exciting - now we're not only discovering products, but also watching our own journey and growth here.

Curious: what makes you the most come back to Product Hunt every day?

Is it:

ā€¢ discovering new products?
ā€¢ joining discussions?
ā€¢ supporting makers?
ā€¢ following trends?

Something else?

Being surrounded with people who love startups and businesses as I do, itā€™s amazing not having to hear about someoneā€™s outside life

Ā Exactly! This community is about real things - creating, building, sharing ideas, and learning from each other.

And someoneā€™s outside life is something Iā€™d make disappear from this world šŸ˜‚

For me, it is several reasons:

  • discovering the latest tech

  • connecting with more people in the community

  • creating discussions and collecting ideas

  • feedback for my

  • keeping my streak

Ā Wow, I didn't know about the SafeLimit !

I'm not very familiar with LinkedIn's guidelines yet. Maybe I need to dive a bit deeper into them.

If I don't have a large following and I'm not very active yet, do I still need to worry about getting banned or having my account restricted?

Ā The most serious thing on LI at the moment is whether you are verified. Lately, a lot of new accounts have been banned because they didn't provide government verification. After uploading your Passport or ID, you can get your account back :)

Verification is becoming more important for trust, but access is still not equal across all countries (also in mine) =) Hopefully platforms will expand their verification options and make it more inclusive.

Started with me wanting to share my product with the world, but then every time I open product hunt and see the products released everyday it makes me go "wow, there are so many bright people out there creating such cool things" and honestly as a tech nerd, its so exciting.

It is basically like going to disneyland for me.

Ā ,,It is basically like going to disneyland for me,, HaHa =D

I just got an idea - what if PH had a quote wall collecting the best comments and thoughts from the community? šŸ˜„

Itā€™s really inspiring, especially if you love technology and innovation.

By the way, I really liked the concept of Callosium. And the landing page is cool as well, it already gives a strong impression!

When are you planning to launch it?

Ā  Ā free marketing for sure xD

I appreciate you taking the time to look at the website!

Planning it for the 31st of August~

Ā Yes ! =))

Wish you good luck on your journey!

Have you noticed your reasons foe opening Product Hunt change after launching RunEvr compared to before?

Ā Yes! Before, I was mostly feeling a bit lonely =D

RunEvr was just a draft here, and I didnā€™t have many followers or people to share the journey with.

After the successful launch, everything changed.

Now I can discuss our ideas with the community, get valuable feedback, and connect with people who are also building something.

Product Hunt became not only a place to discover products, but also a place where I feel part of the maker community.

For me it is always that excitement to see upvotes and people commenting/feedbacks so it can help improve my product and also trying to learn from other on how to improve my product's visibility that drive sales. This is my first product a small one but a genuine problem solver which i use on a daily basis.

Ā So, does Inventory keep all your chats history and always have the full context about you?
Did you see user growth after launch day?

Ā No the use case of Inventory is bit different. It is not a memory it is a search layer. For instance if you are using Cursor, Codex, Kiro, etc more tools at once and you have conversations across all these tools. It is tough to go through where u did fix a or fix b. Inventory is the place where all of your conversations comes under one roof and you do semantic search across all these tools.

Yes in future i can use these context of chats and built an ambient-memory on top of it. But as of now this is not on my plan because my app is local, no cloud, nothing goes out of your system.

And user growth is not that much to be honest, as its paid app and one time fee. I am looking for ways to get real conversions.

I hope i answer your question

Ā Yea.., thanks for the detailed explanation!

That's really interesting.

I like your tool. =)

Have you tried experimenting with the pricing?

Ā Not yet, i started with 4.99$ but then felt it like a throwaway rate and considering the amount of work + one time fee + lifetime updates its far too less. So i bumped up to 19.99 which seems good as of now and i saw 3 people buy as of now today. I get good visitors and traction from here.

But conversions are not happening. I am trying to play around with SEO, blogs, Medium, llm.txt, etc and would wait for few people/colleagues i have sent them free access to test and give me feedback. So i can create testimonials and show it in my site.

I also plan to make YT short and small video but as i am new, don't have a big following so not sure about that.

Honestly, not the products. It is the comment sections. The launches are mostly legible from the tagline alone, but underneath some of them there is a maker being asked a hard question by someone who actually knows the domain, and answering it properly. You learn more about a category from three of those exchanges than from reading twenty landing pages, because the landing page is what the team wants to be true and the reply is what they have actually hit. Which is a slightly awkward thing to admit on a site organised around a leaderboard. The ranking tells me what got attention. The threads tell me what is real.

Ā Having you in my threads is really interesting - you bring perspectives that are not the usual opinion.

I liked your observation about the difference between a product tagline and the answers makers give. The contrast between what a team wants to communicate and what they actually deal with is a very interesting signal.

When you get this picture of the makers and their products, what part do you usually take away and apply to your thinking process?
