Product Hunt has the potential to become the go-to incubator for tech innovations, providing a launchpad that not only showcases but also actively shapes emerging tech trends. Its evolution could significantly amplify the visibility of new startups, driving both investment and collaboration across the global tech ecosystem.

That's an interesting topic to look at. How about having the platform including hackathons where Founders work with newbies to build/add features for their products? This would open a wide range of opportunities for both entities.

@minahilkhalid I know right! Fresh perspectives for the founders and learning opportunities for the newbies

The future is grim, given where PH was and where it is now. Having a "product of the day" badge back in the day was a bragging right. Today, it's not worth much. PH was a one-hit wonder. Hype faded, and now PH is left with a bunch of bots, scammers selling support, and a surge of "products" without real value. Ryan is a smart guy and sold it when the time was right.

Product Hunt has the potential to become even more integral to the tech ecosystem, possibly shaping up as a primary launchpad for innovative startups. As it evolves, I envision deeper community engagement tools and more robust analytics for makers to track their product's impact.
Many people claim Product Hunt isn't as good as it used to be. It may be true, but people make the same complaint about Facebook, X, Reddit, etc. Product Hunt, with all its challenges, is still a great platform for app makers. I personally experienced a material MRR increase after someone hunted my product on PH. With PH and X, my philosophy is to help others, have fun, not spam, and yes, ask for support when it's my time to launch.

I hope it has a GIF option by the end of this year and also a better way to get people's attention rather than just spamming people!

Launching soon!
They should be more strict so that paid upvotes and bots can be minimized otherwise the platform may lose it's value that it currently upholds

I haven't been around for a while, but I expect more value added to builders coming soon... hope so at least
