Hey, friends! A year ago, @andreasklinger launched a Chrome extension named Product Hunter. At the time, I didn’t really know Andreas. Of course, this got my attention and I'm fortunate to now call him a teammate. Today we’re launching a massive update to the extension, so you can: - Search for products, collections, and people directly from the menu ba… See more

@andreasklinger @jonnotie @vesln @graafdemichiel @rrhoover Why was the first click of the PH icon to search for a product? I was thinking along the lines of click to Hunt. Maybe you could share the reasons for that :)

@jonnotie @vesln @graafdemichiel @rrhoover This isn't just a new tab page extension, it's also a menu bar plug-in, a button, and a browser extension! Excellent work, guys. I personally love the quick access to comments on the page of a product that has previously been hunted. I'm trying to figure out the use cases of each part of what you shipped. The new … See more

@joshuaoxj good question! Search is an increasingly common use case, more common than posting products. We wanted to make it one click away but we may change this use flow as we add additional functionality, like an activity feed.

@eric3000 bingo. 😄 There are many different internal and external triggers that bring people to Product Hunt. For example, we want to make it easier for someone to find what they're looking for when they ask themselves, "What is a product for X?" What use cases or internal triggers (often these are tied to emotions) are we missing out on as it relates to … See more

@rrhoover I will think about the triggers. But also thinking about how well this aligns with your KPIs. If you were focused on front page visits, these features would possibly be cannibalizing. But because you focus on how much traffic you send to products that are hunted, all the incentives align nicely around these different use cases.

@eric3000 our # metric is driving people to products. Page views, time on site, etc. isn't really important to us.

@andreasklinger @jonnotie @vesln @graafdemichiel @rrhoover would it be possible to open the extension with the home feed showing and the search bar focused? i'd love to use it to quickly view the home feed, and it currently takes two additional clicks to get there.

Hey, @lucasjgordon! What do you mean by home feed? I assume you mean the new tab? that's a good idea! We'll explore that. 😄

@rrhoover @andreasklinger @2x @jonnotie @vesln @graafdemichiel What is the commonly expected behavior for ProductHunt ? Open the app / product or see the details and comments on the app. Is this with me or with most of us ? When I click thumbnail I expect the PH page for the product, instead of the product itself. I often find myself going back and finding t… See more
