I think giving people badges/bonuses for reviewing and providing actual feedbacks for products can be helpful

@johnberg Isn't this something that can makers do? I mean – you can be awarded the badge. Or do you mean anything else?
@busmark_w_nika Like there is a leaderboard of login streaks everyday - I don't think it is helpful. I think that would be better to create a leaderboard of people based on product reviews/feedbacks.

@johnberg aha, I like this one but the question is whether it will recognise a real feedback vs AI generated.

Maybe add discussion activity to activity. Like linkedin does it. Would make discussions more lively. Lively discussion in a place full of makers could be an interesting combo.

@sentry_co What do you exactly mean? (I am not so much active on LI atm, maybe I missed something.) Do you mean that you will see notifications that someone from your friends/connections commented interesting posts of other people?
André J
@busmark_w_nika No. notifications from threads you participated in or upvoted. So you can chime in later.

I’d like to see more active action against bots (and AI-powered writers) and more meaningful discussions. Most of it is just pointless stuff day after day.

@elenat This is so true. Even in this post are, it is enough to visit their profile and one knows :D :) I am on the same page :)

A feature that allows direct messaging between users, with the option to accept messages would be nice. It would promote more website usage and give users more control over their interactions.

@ash_grover Do you think chat, right? I think it was there but many people considered it very disturbing.
Ash G
@busmark_w_nika Oh interesting, didn't know that. I believe that with the option to accept or decline messages along with the option of disabling notifications for it would make it less distracting.
Business Marketing with Nika
@ash_grover I think it is not only about notifications. I daily receive a huge amount of requests to upvote. It stopped to be a fun.

I do not see any big problems and generally like the website.
Remy Traphagan
I think adding more in-depth filtering options would help me navigate through the platform better

One change I would suggest is improving the community engagement aspect.
Hugo Ducharme
Product Hunt is fantastic but the launch process can be overwhelming for new creators.
José Vitor
I would implement a section where users can create product ideas and from there gather people to help develop the product
William Joseph Parker
A DM feature would be great to connect with other makers and swap insights. Maybe with a LinkedIn-style 'intro' to keep it relevant. The ability to control who can message you is key though to avoid spam.
