I love that the PH folks are embracing and upvoting this project. It shows real commitment to the idea behind it all and I am very interested to see if there is room for both and how it pans out over time. In either case, good job to @jacquescrocker & @rrhoover & PH in general.

Nice to see an alternative that has the potential to be more useful for people / outsiders building things. Would love to see a community with restrictions on the types of products posted (e.g. must be freshly launched, can't be a product that's actually a list of products, etc.) so that Open Hunt has a more unique ecosystem. Also love the queuing system idea. It definitely needs public commenting though -- a lot of depth / added value is lost without it. Great start @jacquescrocker

Great job! What is interesting is that, in other sites/communities, this project is receiving lots of good feedback. Only here, I see people making fun of it or trying to compare it directly with Product Hunt at its current stage. Anyway, I don't think it's a replacement, but a very interesting alternative.

Product Hunt

What happens if someone posts Product Hunt to Open Hunt? 😳

@jsneedles @rrhoover evidently twice, there doesn't appear to be dupe checking.

@jsneedles @rrhoover and evidently mine can't be opened or voted upon bc it was posted after the other... also I provided feedback, did you get it? It said it'd go to the maker of the product.

@jacquescrocker - how does Ryan get my feedback?

@rrhoover The real question is: What if Product Hunt gets more upvotes on their platform, than Open Hunt?

Invariably, all this about PH vs OH is really trying to solve the same problem: discoverability. Can't see why the two can't co-exist like iOS and Android. In the end, smart entrepreneurs will find a way to get their product in front of the right audience. And those with good products will succeed in the long run.

10x attention to 10 startups is better than 2x attention to 100 startups. @rrhoover cares so much about products and that reflects what we are currently using every single day. Once Producthunt is big there will be a section of hunters who may cry foul about probable products on front page, but at the end of every day there are atleast 10 startups coming out stronger, stronger.

I really like the idea of a more democratised Product Hunt. I've never quite understood why PH couldn't go the Reddit route of having votes determine who made it to the front page rather then hand-selection. That said, you really need to focus on a niche in order to get this off the ground. Right now the signal:noise ratio is pretty bad, there's games and other random stuff in the mix. Find a theme that allows you to really satisfy one small audience, and then expand out from there.
