+1 Absolutely, I agree. There’s no clear criteria for featuring products on Product Hunt’s homepage, and it’s disappointing when our hard work doesn’t get the visibility we hoped for. Unfortunately, there isn’t an FAQ addressing this issue on PH.
- Bots
- Sometimes not all discussions appear in the group.
I would love to see a feature that highlights the most discussed products of the week. It would be great to keep up with what everyone’s talking about!
I just heard from a fellow hunter the reason why products are not featured is the quality of the tagline, videos and images uploaded. No idea if it's true 😂
Products that aren't featured at launch are essentially invisible. It's a manual select as far as I understand. Not ideal if your the person making that decision doesn't understand your product.
If I could improve one thing about Product Hunt, it would be to add a "Bot Bouncer" at the entrance. Picture a virtual bouncer with sunglasses, asking each bot for ID before letting them in.
And for featuring products, maybe we need a mystical "Homepage Oracle" to handpick products with a crystal ball, ensuring the tagline mojo is just right.
Plus, can we get a "PH Matchmaker" app for messaging other hunters? Swipe left if you want to network, swipe right if you want to launch together!
It would be to enhance the search and discovery features. While the platform does a great job showcasing new products, adding more advanced filtering and personalized recommendations could help users find relevant products more easily and discover hidden gems tailored to their specific interests.
The featured section is quite a problem for many; besides that, I would suggest:
- Dark mode(Please it's a must've now, & no I don't want to use third-party apps)
- Chat Feature
