Launched on March 21st, 2024
Product Hunt changed my life. A year ago I stepped in as CEO, and a couple weeks ago we launched Product Forums (which you're reading this on!). Before that I founded and launched @Tandem (virtual office - YC S19), and @Cryptagon.io.
Ask me anything about Product Hunt, launching, startups, YC, or what we're trying to do with forums!
Hey Product Hunt community!
Juan from the Community team here. Hope Monday is treating you well so far!
It's that time of the week where we celebrate the standout Product of the Week winners. These teams have been putting in serious work, and their products deserve the spotlight:
OpenArt Characters lets you create images of consistent characters from just one image or description. Pose, place, and combine them in any scene for infinite storytelling possibilities.
Basalt is the platform to build and operate AI features: Craft high-quality prompts with their AI-powered Copilot, test and evaluate LLM outputs, deploy seamlessly with their SDK, monitor and refine performance in real conditions—all in a collaborative workflow.
A Social Intelligence Agent that does deep research and analyzes & engages in real-time with social media discussions.
A Sales Platform that will help you drive more qualified demos by leveraging video calls with high-value prospects.
A hybrid reasoning model that produces near-instant responses or extended, step-by-step thinking. One model, two ways to think. They also released an agentic coding tool: Claude Code.
Let's give these incredible teams the recognition they deserve!
Which of these products do you think will have the biggest impact in their space? And which one would you be most likely to try first? For me, Claude 3.7 was an instant win - I upgraded to Pro right after trying it out.

A few days ago I saw some posts here about:
– the number of discussions is decreasing,
– sometimes they are approved later,
– that there is "other community growth" – I don't know what was meant by that and I'm just guessing.
Yes, the conditions have changed – Forums are more moderated and rules are strict, hoping to bring more value and engagement of active (real) users.

In general:
discussion shouldn't be "egocentric" but should invite to be a part of it (actively discuss)
should bring a value – something to learn, find out
shouldn't be replicable – not something, that can be easily found on the internet
= It should result in quality and genuine discussion with interactions.
I also find it harder to come up with a new topic that is unique while sticking to the rules, but I assume it raises the bar.
How do you perceive this updated Forum format and its new rules?
Just a few quick tips to create discussions that have a chance to be shared:
Ask questions: Opinions, experiences, lessons learned.
React to news, new situations in the world, and discuss current events.
Follow up on other people's forums, referencing their questions that prompted other questions.
Talk about products, their gaps, improvements, and useful use-cases. (That's what product forums are for.)
