🗣️ Find the right product, just ask

We just shipped something new on Product Hunt.

Ask Product Hunt AI is a way to explore launches, products, and discussions without digging through pages or trying the perfect search query. You can just ask a question and it pulls from everything happening on the platform products, comments, makers, all of it.

Looking for tools in a specific space? Want to see what people are saying about a launch? Trying to find something you saw last week but forgot the name of? Just ask.

How do you decide which feedback to turn into features?

Since sharing Prodshort here on @producthunt , we ve received a lot of early feedback. Ideas, feature requests, small improvements, UX feedback sometimes things we didn t even think about.

Some feedback looks useful at first, but once you test it, you realize it adds complexity without real value. Other times, a small suggestion turns into something essential for the product.
Would love to hear from your experience:
How do you handle early feedback without going in too many directions?

The cost of technical debt: a longitudinal study of 100 startups.

The Timeline to Failure

Months 1 6: Everything worked. Fast releases. Happy customers. No time for architecture.
