Hey product people,
I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Proddys - The awards honoring the best products of the year 📱💻🎮
Think of it as the Grammys (or the Oscars) for the tech industry 🏆
This all started a year ago when Techcrunch announced they’d shut down the Crunchies after 10 years running the show 😭
I felt like the show must go on, and decided to bring the whole tech community together again to honor the companies building the products that are changing the world 💪
The Product School team and network of product leaders who teach our courses have carefully created 34 categories, and nominated around 10 products per category 🚀
We believe in transparency and putting the user in control, so the winners of each category will be based on popular choice nominations (you can nominate products until December 3rd) and voting 🗳
The rankings are public so you can see who the winners are in real-time (Product Hunt style). The deadline to vote is December 20th 🗓
We’ll celebrate the awards ceremony and after-party during the 2019 San Francisco ProductCon conference 🎉
If this resonates with you, vote for your favorite products here, and you’ll automatically get a free ticket to watch the awards ceremony! 🎫🎥
Would love to hear what your favorite products are!

Good point and thanks for bringing this up @travelgents 😄
We're aware of a similar word "Proddy" (plural Proddies). According to Wiktionary, it's a slang term, sometimes derogatory, in certain religious communities.
I think it's important to clarify we have absolutely nothing to do with it. We created a new term "Proddys" (following the same pattern as other awards like Grammys or Emmys) to honor the best digital products of each year.
Product School is a global, diverse and inclusive community that welcomes anyone who wants to learn digital skills to grow their careers. Respect is one of our core company values, and we created a code of conduct for anyone involved in our community: https://www.productschool.com/co...
Cheers!
