Hello Product Hunt 👋
The Problem
We’ve all been there. You spend months caffeinating your way through code, finally hitting that "Launch" button on Product Hunt, BetaList, or Peerlist with your heart in your throat. You’re ready for the world to see your masterpiece.
But then, reality sets in.
These platforms have become linear graveyards. Most only showcase the "Top 5" at first glance. If your product doesn't catch the initial morning wave, it's buried under a "See More" button, requiring users to scroll through a list of 100+ competitors.
Let’s be honest: if you aren't in the Top 20, you’re essentially invisible. Your hard work is relegated to the digital basement, hidden beneath a mountain of noise.
To make matters worse, it's increasingly becoming a "pay-to-win" game. * Ad Dominance: Paid placements now occupy 30–40% of the prime screen real estate.
Small startups and solo makers—the very heartbeat of this community—are being squeezed out.
How do you find your first 100 users when you don't have a $1,000 ad budget just to be seen?
The Solution
I didn’t build another directory; I built a stage where the spotlight actually moves. Product Front is a discovery platform designed to stop the "scroll-past" culture and give every founder a fighting chance from the second the page loads.
Every Pixel is a Chance to Be Seen
On most platforms, if you aren't #1, you're nobody. We changed the geometry of discovery:
The Landscape Grid: Instead of a suffocating vertical list, our desktop layout presents 28 products at once. No scrolling, no "See More," no friction. Just 28 dreams getting the eyeballs they deserve.
Quality over Chaos: We cap daily launches at 28 slots. By curing the "100-product fatigue," we ensure that every visitor who lands on our page actually has the mental space to care about your work.
The Smart Weekly Re-launch: Our algorithm lets you launch weekly. But here’s the magic: if a user has already seen your product, we hide it from them and show them something new. This keeps the feed a "treasure hunt" for users while giving you multiple shots at finding your "100 true fans."
Experience the "Snap"
We’ve engineered the browsing experience to fight the "False Bottom" effect—that moment a user thinks they’ve seen it all and leaves.
Desktop Scroll-Snap: One flick of the wrist perfectly aligns the next 28 products. In just two seconds, a user has seen 56 products with zero "fidgety" scrolling.
The Mobile "Peek-a-Boo": On phones, we show a tiny sliver of the next product. This subtle visual nudge signals to the brain that there is more to discover, turning a passive scroll into an active journey.
Why Product Front?
Because you didn’t spend hundreds of hours building a product just to have it buried under a "Promoted" ad or lost in a 100-item list.
Product Front is for the indie hackers, the solo dreamers, and the small teams tired of the pay-to-win game. We’ve fixed the visibility problem so you can focus on what matters: building something great.
We believe the best products should win based on innovation, not the size of their marketing wallet. It’s time to level the playing field for the makers who are just getting started.
Great questions, @linjing The biggest difference is that Product Hunt is a vertical race, while Product Front is a landscape stage.
Here’s how I ensure visibility:
• The 28-Slot Cap: Unlike the endless vertical lists on Product Hunt where you get buried if you aren't in the top 5, we cap daily launches at 28. This cures "product fatigue" and ensures every visitor actually has the mental space to see your work.
• Landscape Grid vs. Vertical Scroll: Our desktop layout shows all 28 products at once. No scrolling, no "See More," and no friction. Every pixel is designed to give you a fighting chance the second the page loads.
• The Smart Re-launch: If a user has already seen your product, our algorithm hides it from them and shows them something new. This keeps the feed a "treasure hunt" for users while giving you multiple shots at finding your "100 true fans."
Essentially, I’ve traded the "pay-to-win" and "scroll-past" culture for a layout where everyone gets the spotlight.
Any feedback from you will help improving the product. 🙏
Just checked and signed up on Product Front
Really liked the onboarding and overall UX
Congrats on the launch @kim_ben_g !
Thank you for your support @theanimeshs 🙏
Product Front capping at 28 is a smart constraint, but the re-launch rotation is what actually makes it work. Swapping out products a visitor already saw keeps the grid fresh without makers needing to nail their launch timing perfectly.
@piroune_balachandran Nailed it, That’s exactly the strategy! 🔥
As a solo maker preparing to launch my first product, this resonates hard. The anxiety of "what if I don't crack the Top 10 and nobody ever sees it" is real. The idea that you get multiple weekly shots at finding your audience instead of one do-or-die day is genuinely appealing.
Curious about the discovery side though: how are you planning to drive traffic to Product Front itself? The chicken-and-egg problem with discovery platforms is brutal, makers won't submit without an audience, and users won't come without good products. What's your strategy for the early days?
@diegodau That’s a totally valid concern, and honestly, it’s exactly why I built this platform.
Trying to compete with established giants is terrifying, but I refuse to believe it's impossible. They all started from zero, right? While I’m grinding on technical SEO and marketing, the real secret sauce for isn't just code—it’s us makers.
My plan is to build a genuine community of makers supporting makers, and users who actually want to discover tools without the noise. Plus, I’m changing the game on visibility: visitors get 28 products at first glance—that’s 5x more than Product Hunt. I’m prioritizing pure fairness, not ad dollars. Every product gets a fair pixel on the screen, and I promise: no paid ads occupying the spotlight.
@kim_ben_g sounds nice! I will submit my product too!
@diegodau Thank you for the support! 🚀
I like it @kim_ben_g, congrats! Pretty easy to use and clean interface.
I just listed my product and best wishes on your journey 🚀
@ihsany Thank you for the support and showcasing your product in the platform! 🚀
The 28-slot cap solves the visibility problem, but raises a curation question: is it first-come-first-served, or is there a quality filter before a product gets a slot? For a platform promising fairness, how you handle that will define whether it attracts serious makers or just whoever submits fastest.
@klara_minarikova That’s a great question, I’ve decided to go with First Come, First Served. I believe transparency is the only way to stay truly 'anti-gatekeeper.' On Product Front, I don't use hidden algorithms to decide who is 'worthy.' the upvotes have weight depending on user history, If you’ve built something and you’re ready, you grab one of the 28 slots. also if product posted last week and the user sees it, that makes they won't see the same product again on the feed this week and the total slot, if all 10 products was posted lastweek, same user won't see it so total will be 39 slots the If today is full, you just schedule for the next available day.
To keep the quality high, I’ll be moderating the list myself for now. I’m the filter for spam and fake products to ensure every 'real' maker gets their fair shot. Eventually, I might use AI to help automate that spam-detection, but the core rule stays: if it's a real product, real user, it gets the spot. No pay-to-win, no secret handshakes. I am open to hear your suggestions on this will help the product improve.
The Smart Weekly Re-launch also plays a huge role here. Our algorithm allows you to launch weekly, but here’s the magic: if a user has already seen your product, we hide it from them and show them something new.
For example: If 10 makers are re-launching their products this week, those take up 10 additional available slots alongside the new fresh launches, making it a total of 38 slots circulating for that period. This ensures the grid is always a fresh for the user while giving you multiple shots at finding your 100 true fans.
I’m open to hearing your suggestions to help the platform improve!
