Hey Product Hunt

I m Anton, co-founder of Lovon - an AI therapist with a human voice to help you talk it out and feel better.

Over the past few days, I ve been trying to understand what helped the most successful launches stand out.

In general, here s what I noticed they tend to share:

• Their Product Hunt page had at least 500 followers.

• The product was in overall good condition (I mean, already had some level of reputation, really good marketing).

• Many were hunted by well-established, well-known hunters on the platform.

• Every comment received a response.

• The visuals were strong there was almost always a video or demo featured at the beginning of the carousel.

Many people were looking for an answer in one category, namely, Forums Streaks.

This metric by itself only tells you that people log in to the app.

Same 1,000 words. Wildly different outcomes.

I've watched this experiment play out with hundreds of WordFlippin users.

In 2025, we witnessed a true Product Hunt (r)evolution so many things changed dramatically. I honestly think this was the most intense year of changes the platform has ever had.

For example, we got to experience all of this:

• Verifying profiles (badges)

• Alternative product suggestions on launch pages

• Views and online count on forum posts

• Adding/Removing the ambassador program

• Forums instead of Discussions

• Changing the UX/UI of launch pages

• Removing Coming soon (Notify me pages)

• Adding/Removing downvotes on comments

• Forum comments now showing up on our profiles

• More extensive footer

• Redesign of the main page UI (e.g., new notification icon)

• Removing Kitty s awards

Everyone has their favourite routine to perform at their best.

Some are advocates for the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes of intensive work, with a 5-minute short break), others love time-blocking, a few plan the entire week on Sunday, and there are even people who say ice-cold showers la Wim Hof help them focus.

I m Nikita an ex Head of Design with 8+ years of experience and co-founder of Loki.Build.

Before Loki, I built two products:

Many of you sometimes write to me in DMs asking how to position yourself on Product Hunt.

From the question, I always get the feeling that people want to speed up the process, publish something quickly, get a high position in the ranking of launched products and a badge. But this is a long-term game.

What AI Dictation Tools Actually Are

Why do you need this? For when creativity is required. So you can stop and think for yourself, instead of taking a generic and ready-made answers from ChatGPT/etc.

It helps you learn to think independently instead of handing everything over to AI. Yes, it's harder and takes longer. But the result will be better because the outcome is yours - you come up with the idea yourself. AI hasn't reached the level where it can think for us yet. But it's great at push us - and that's what Ideation does.

I noticed this question in one of my discussions and thought it would make sense to share my approach if I were to get in touch with more active users of this platform.

Here s how I would find them and connect with them (via X, LinkedIn or other channel) You can find them :

1. Check people who log in daily (Streaks).

2. Look at users who actively comment under discussions and launches.

3. Connect with active hunters.

4. You can try reaching out to the internal Product Hunt team.

5. Explore WA, Telegram, and Signal PH groups where people are active and reach out to them.

6. Check users who launch a few days before you they re likely to put effort into the platform too, so they still have that "launching vibe".

We ve got a big update: after ten years, we re officially sunsetting the Golden Kitty Awards.

Hey Product Hunters

After 1.5 years of building (and rebuilding), I m finally launching BlogBowl this Friday! (31.10)

This has been the toughest and most incredible launch day we've experienced, anything is possible up until the very last second.

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who upvoted, commented, and shared. You made this launch for Manna 2.0 unforgettable!

A week ago, our team tried to launch FakeRadar.io on Product Hunt. But something went wrong and we weren't included in the Featured list.

FakeRadar.io is a tool for detecting deepfakes in real time during video calls.

We decided to postpone the launch until this Friday (that's tomorrow!).

Today, I noticed a small update on my profile while replying to your comments.

A new button has been added specifically, the option to "downvote" a comment.

Hi Product Hunters!

I m Artem Anikeev, founder of FakeRadar.io the world's first real-time deepfake detection tool designed specifically for video calls.

Why FakeRadar?

The rise of deepfake technology has brought new risks to everyday digital communication. From fraudulent job interviews to high-stake banking scams, the threat is real - and constantly evolving. FakeRadar was born to address this urgent need with cutting-edge, accessible technology.
