🌟 Who are your Product Hunt lighthouses?

by
•

In every community, we naturally find people we love to communicate with, interact with, or simply follow.

From my very first day on Product Hunt, some people became little lighthouses for me here.

The moment I signed up, I noticed and her threads. She became one of those people I always enjoy following here.

Then came and .
And that was only my first day =D

I always enjoy seeing comments from , , , and under my threads. They always bring something useful or thoughtful to the conversation.

Of course, I also love waiting to see the products hunted by our beloved hunter <3

I have a special sense of respect for top hunters and !

A newer member I recently discovered and find particularly inspiring is - someone with real background and experience behind their words.

And I can't forget , who was the only person upvoting my early threads =D
Since then, I've noticed how quietly and consistently he supports so many community members through their launches and threads.

... no comment... =) ❤️

These are just some of my community lighthouses.

Who are yours? Let's exchange the people we love seeing, reading, and following in this community.

Hey Adana, thank you for the mention and the shout-out. :)

Your threads have become some of my favorites here, and you’ve quickly become a go-to person in the community.

I often visit the forum just to see what discussions you and have started. Even when I don’t join every conversation, I always read the posts and comments because they’re thoughtful and engaging.

You’re doing a great job building genuine engagement and leading meaningful discussions here. It’s clear you’ve made a strong impact and formed some great connections on the platform.

I look forward to reading more of your posts and launches. If we’re the lighthouses, you’re the light that keeps the community shining. Thanks again for your presence, energy and engagement. 😊

 Oh, thanks a lot for your warm words!

You’ve given me my daily dose of inspiration, now I’m ready to do great things =D

Have a productive day full of smiles!

 Wow, Thank you so much :) Admire that you find time to read what I (we) wrote :)

Thank you so much! :) I need to say that I enjoy your discussions a lot! :) + I really enjoy point of view and fresh ideas as well.

Apart from that, I like the series by – Problem Hunt series
– with work (job vacancies) series.

– with SEO/GEO articles and case studies.

 Thanks for warm words and sharing your lighthouses =) I guess it can be especially useful for new members to explore them all.

Thanks for the shoutout, Adana! Really happy to be mentioned alongside so many warm people here.

I think a PH community is really about lighting each other up. Someone inspires you, then you carry that spark forward in your own way and become a little light for someone else.

Maybe that’s what a great community is at its best ❤️

 Yes, the feeling that you're not alone in your successes and losses is very strong here!

Thanks again!

Thank you, that's a generous thing to write about someone who has been here four days.

I don't have a list yet, so here's what I actually have. Yours were the first threads where I wanted to write a real answer instead of a polite one. did the same to me yesterday with the question about the most expensive mistake, where she went first and put her own three lost years on the table before asking anyone else to.

@busmark_w_nika, while I'm here: minimalist phone has quietly landed in Japan. The App Store page is fully in Japanese and I found a resident doctor writing up his digital detox with it on note, which is one of the big Japanese blogging platforms. He liked the notification hiding and the per-app timer. Japanese users almost never write to developers in English, so you may not be hearing about it.

What both of you do is put your own answer on the table first, at your own cost, before asking anyone else for theirs. That's why the threads fill up. Ask me again in six months and I'll have a proper list. Right now I'm mostly reading.

   Thanks for your answer! The PH community is so warm and fast-paced, that I think I can ask you for your list in a month or so =)

And that’s very good news about Minimalist Phone! Such an unexpected place to hear about it! =D

 Hey! :) I am happy you noticed! :) Yes, we have a new team member who helps us to strengthen our position in the Japanese market! :)

 That explains the store page. It reads like Japanese written by a Japanese person, which is rarer than you'd think for a foreign app.

Your new person will know this already, but from the outside: there's no Japanese Product Hunt with real traffic, so discovery here runs through note, which sits somewhere between Medium and a personal blog, and through individual blogs. The one I found was a first-year resident physician writing up his own digital detox on note, and what he picked out was hiding notifications in bulk and the per-app timer, rather than the launcher itself. The other half is App Store reviews. Japanese users won't email you in English and mostly won't email at all, so if nobody on your side is reading the Japanese reviews every week you're missing the only channel most of them use. In 22 years of running a Japanese service that has never once changed.

I think you'll do well here anyway. Minimalism is growing, but there's a second reason that has nothing to do with focus. My daughters spend real time making their iPhone home screens look how they want. Younger users here treat the home screen as something you style, so an app that makes it look tidy reaches them before the digital detox argument does.

I dont really have a fixed list yet, but there are definitely some names I recognize from thoughtful comments and launch discussions.

 Why don’t you share with us? =)

I read your line about Hisashi twice. Finding someone new who real depth is rare lately. What first caught your attention about their comments?

 I see someone with 22 years of experience building products. He has a big platform for the Japanese market, and his advice about marketing and social media wasn’t generic at all. It was based on his own experience, which made it much more valuable. I even discussed some with my teammate =)

I love the lighthouse idea. there are definitely a few people whose comments i always stop to read.

 It's great. Don't hesitate to share their names =)

Thanks Adana. Mine are , because she answers every single person on her own threads, which almost nobody keeps doing once a thread passes ten comments. And for a different reason: he posts the number that did not work next to the one that did, so his threads are the only place I change my mind instead of just agreeing.

   Thank you so much, Lisa :) I am trying my best but need to confirm that sometimes I missed answers, because I didn't see notifications :(

 Notifications... again and again =D

   Oh, thanks for sharing about Asad with us. I hadn’t followed him before, but I just started = )

I can totally relate to this! My very first interaction on Product Hunt actually started with Nika and her thoughtful responses, and eventually I discovered your threads too, Adana. I really enjoy the conversations you start here, they always give the community something interesting to think about.

And many of the people you’ve mentioned are people I’ve been following as well. Their threads and contributions are genuinely commendable, and it’s great to see how supportive and engaging this community can be.

Really glad to be part of this community and discover more of these “lighthouses” along the way!

 Thank you very much, Aruna!
I enjoy reading your comments on my threads as well.
Wishing you a productive day! =)

This means a lot to be on this list, honestly! This community has been one of the best parts of being here so far, appreciate you and everyone building such a genuinely supportive space. 🙏

I always look forward to your threads; you have this way of asking things that actually get people thinking instead of reacting. :)
