First time maker alert! 🎉
I was checking out the Product Hunt launch page and several products caught my eye. I went about saving them in my weird organized bookmarking fashion for later perusal and I thought - wouldn’t it be cool if Product Hunt had a favorites list?
With the rise of AI, it feels like anyone can build something… so this was the perfect opportunity for me to finally try my hand at building something! 🎉
This favorites list is different than seeing the list of my “upvotes” since that’s everything I’ve every upvoted, anything I found novel, helpful, interesting etc. I wanted the favorites list to help me remember the tools I want to dive in and check out later, tools I want to share with someone else in the future if they ask me, etc. and be able to save notes to reference later.
It took me less than a day to build - a lot of it was spent troubleshooting the code but
I’m happy with it so far - not pretty but functional! 🙌🏽
I've gotten some initial feedback from the team so I have a growing fixes and wishlist in my feedbear board. https://product-hunt-favorites.f...
I'd love to hear from you on how I can make this more useful and helpful! ❤️ Don't hesitate to share your feature requests on the feedbear board or here in the comments thread. Thank you for trying it out and for your support!

@ph_leeanntrang Very cool! I just installed the extension. Seems like Product Hunt Bookmarks with extra features. :)
@ph_leeanntrang Congrats on the launch! I bet folks here would be curious about engineering tools you used to build the extension. You shouted out ChatGPT. Any other other tools that were helpful? Anything like Vercel v0?
@mikekerzhner Thanks! I only used ChatGPT 😳 since I don’t know how to use anything else, but @gabe has shared there are many other tools I need to learn to help me make the process easier for next time (and probably as I update and maintain the extension!). 😁
@rohanrecommends awesome, thanks for trying it out!! I still have some fixes and features I want to implement but I hope you find it useful. Let me know if you have any feedback! Feel free to add to my feedbear board or just tag me here in the comments.
@sonu_goswami2 Awesome, let me know how it goes! I hope it's helpful. Feel free to share feedback and feature requests on my feedbear board or directly here in the thread. Thank you for your support!
Congrats on your first launch @ph_leeanntrang!!! I often also find myself wondering "what did I like last week" and my bookmarks becoming a mess lol. Awesome job 🙌
@andres_rosas_sanchez Thanks for the support! Yea, I thought the same when I decided to build it 😂 I was like my bookmarking system is so crazy and there has to be a better way!
@busmark_w_nika what an interesting idea! I hadn't thought about it, but I tested it and it worked! It saved the title of the discussion thread as the bookmark and then you can tag it with whatever you want (e.g. discussion, habits, etc). Hope you find it helpful!
I spend so much time on PH - this is perfect! I love to find well built products on PH to feature in my weekly newsletter Artisan Apps at https://artisan-apps.beehiiv.com/. This will make it easier for me! Kudos
@tejas_gawande awesome, I'm so glad this will be helpful for you! Let me know if you have feedback on my feedbear board or tag me here in the thread. Enjoy!

Now I’m not saying they’re good, but Product Hunt already has lists, named collections (sometimes saves).
Good on you for building something, still!
@felixkaiser Thanks for sharing! Yea, I didn't find collections solved my painpoint. It allows you to save things in grouped "collections" but I really wanted a way to quickly save and organize a product with multiple tags and brief notes so I could easily search and find it later. Try it out and let me know if you have any feedback. Thanks for checking it out!
Congrats on your first launch, @ph_leeanntrang, especially something that could be so useful to Hunters and Makers alike!! Using just ChatGPT also goes to show that you don't need a massive suite of tools to make something happen 👏
@ben_griese Thank you! ❤️ Sitting focused in the office with you and Gus yesterday gave me a boost of good vibes and I was like what the heck, never too early too launch! Now I have the PH community to hold me accountable to improve it 😁
