I've been thinking about the feedback process between product designers and users a lot lately, and I' gotta say I'm lovin' this. Good work, @tribaling My one complaint is the sign up form. I'm totally one of those people that groans when they see more than 3 or 4 text fields in a form (I know, I know. I'm lazy). Really hope this gets a lot of attention from campaigners; could be very valuable. How are you planning to market to them? Aside from product hunt of course...

@dancyfits That's really good feedback on the login form, and I also think we need social login for people that prefer them. So far we have personally reached out to campaigners, and we will keep doing that. We of course hope that this will spread word-of-mouth, and stay "top of mind" when people think about tools for gathering feedback, as well as engaging and growing their community. Please let us know if you have any other ideas for us on the marketing front?

@tribaling You should get @rrhoover in on this! I bet a lot of people here have a lot of good ideas for PH. Is there any incentive after a campaigner signs up to share on twitter, facebook, etc? That'll be key, I think; campaigners with large followings soliciting for feedback. And people really want to give feedback to, reward or not. I can't begin to tell you how often I wish there was a better way to suggest a feature to my favorite todo app, Evernote, etc. And a place where campaigners can ask for feedback that facilitates constructive conversation should be hugely valuable. Man, I'm rambling. The more I think about this, the more excited I am for it!

@dancyfits @rrhoover It would be awesome to feature a specific challenge for the PH community! I believe that there are many benefits for makers that are preparing a Product Hunt launch, as well as something they can use to engage their new sign-ups afterwards.

@dancyfits Lots of great feedback to ponder there. I think the main incentive for a campaigner to share is to bring in their own network and community to their Idea Hunt. Happy to hear that you see a space for better tools for feedback. :)

@tribaling Glad to help! Definitely a lot of space/need for better feedback tools, and I think this is a great example of what's possible. I'll keep adding my feedback on the idea hunt campaign, but feel free to tweet me if you need anything specific!

Idea Hunt is a platform that connects companies, people and ideas. Each hunt focuses on a specific challenge, for example: What is the killer feature we are missing? What is the best use case for our product? How can we attract more users? An Idea Hunt typically lasts for 2 weeks, and the best ideas get rewarded. The company that creates the campaign puts forth the rewards Top benefits for campaigners are: + Engage your community (retention) + Acquire new members (acquisition) + Gather ideas & feedback Top benefits for contributors are: + Help the products you love + Join a strong community of creative types + Have the chance to collect rewards Idea Hunt is a great way for product managers, community managers, inbound marketers, and growth hackers to engage and build their community, as well as validate and improve their product. It’s designed to work well with SAAS, hardware, games, podcasts and social network products. A special thanks to the startups that are launching Idea Hunts on our platform this week, and putting forth awesome challenges and prizes including wearables, drones, and a cloud-connected notebook: Narrative Clip, Rocketbook, CoDrone, ReVault, Lifee and Tracy. Thank you for checking us out. We look forward to your feedback and ideas.

Great idea. The FAQs talk about 'premium subscription' but I cannot see any pricing options. Am I missing something?

@vingar Great question, we have a few clients running premium accounts, but so far they have only been issued by request. You can drop us an e-mail at team@ideahunt.io or fill out the "appy to be featured" form on the main page

Great idea! I just signed up and added my photo to my profile, however, it added my country's flag over my face, and looks like I'm blowing my nose/wiping my mouth with the flag. Perhaps you might consider moving the flag icons to a different portion of the profile, or to make it look cleaner, perhaps just show the country as text right below our names?

[Commenting per request of nice people] Idea Hunt provides a platform for a structured "collection" of ideas. This is ideal for gathering specific feedback on narrowly-defined questions. IH has an opportunity to go bigger and become a platform for innovation not just ideas. They'll need to make sure no Idea Hunts are just market research studies where hunters are the subjects -- safety/privacy is huge. Then, make sustained participation in the platform (not just an individual hunt) worth the time and signups viral. Finally, train participating companies on how to use the platform as a way to have dialogue, to solve problems, to innovate and not merely ideate. Is this all possible? Sure, one step at a time.

Nice execution & UI is pretty simple. One question, do you have any criteria for campaigners to launch on Ideahunt to maintain quality of campaigns being hunted ?

@varunbagga8 Happy to hear that you like the UI Varun! Anyone can launch an Idea Hunt, but we are currently curating and featuring the best. This is one of the things we're learning by doing, and have not nailed yet. Any feedback on this is appreciated. Thanks

Interesting idea - but I'm unclear of the use case. Is this replacing my existing product feedback system (user voice, intercom)? Do I drive my customers to your platform for feedback (and if so, why?) or is this intended to get new idea hunters to check out my product?

@afhill With Idea Hunt you can run time limited idea campaigns that focuses on one particular challenge. Rocketbook has for example collected 100+ ideas and 300+ feedbacks in their Idea Hunt within days. And yes, you can attract new idea hunters for your product on our platform. Hope that makes sense :)
