Every few years someone declares the spreadsheet dead. Notion was going to kill it, then Airtable, then a hundred AI tools, and now agents are supposedly going to make it obsolete too.

But Excel is 40 years old and still runs most of the actual decisions at most actual companies. I'd bet it outlasts almost everything launching on this site this year, including a lot of stuff I love.

I am trying to gather tools directly developed for the Product Hunt platform that could possibly help you with the launch.
This is what I have gathered so far.

• Advanced PH Scrapper extracting data of launches into the charts

• Hunted Space calendar & stats for upvotes, comments, upvote speed

• Launchgrid something like a database of launches from PH & HN

• Launchpedia  kits (PH resources)

• Product Hunt favourites  extension for bookmarking

• Product Hunt trending overview of successful launches (ranking)

• Product Wars  upvotes, comments, speed stats

If you know more, feel free to share.

quick one for anyone doing SEO or growth for clients.

i mean the grind of getting placed in listicles, roundups and comparison pages. finding the pages, digging up who maintains each one, personalized pitches, follow ups, tracking who answered and who actually placed you.

asking because clients started raising the "why doesnt ChatGPT mention us" question, and the answer mostly runs through exactly these pages. AI answers cite listicles and roundups far more than homepages.

so whats your stack? one tool that covers the whole flow, a mix of prospecting and email tools, or a spreadsheet you keep alive by hand? curious what holds up at real volume, hundreds of targets, not ten.

From what I am seeing across communities, here is what the tool stack looks like right now.

The Core Stack

Email & Capture: Mailchimp for launch updates and email sequences . Carrd for quick, clean launch-specific landing pages . Pre-launch tools like LaunchBuddy and Prefundia to build a waitlist and gather early feedback before you even hit the Product Hunt button .

Social & Scheduling: Buffer or Hootsuite to keep a consistent presence across X, LinkedIn, and Threads without it taking over your entire day . Canva for generating graphics that do not look like you threw them together in five minutes .

There are products I keep using when launching on Product Hunt -- products that help me craft beautiful assets, plan content distribution, and analyze results.

Here's my personal collection. How about you? What's your stack?

It's the end of the month. Your client needs a performance report, so you open five tools, screenshot the numbers, paste them into Google Slides, and spend two hours making it look like you didn't just paste screenshots into Google Slides.

We just made that whole process unnecessary.

Just asking, QuickBooks? Google Sheets? Something you hacked together with AI?

We built a very simple AI-driven tool and want to hear what s working (or not) for early-stage teams.

I ve discovered a lot of useful products through Product Hunt over time.

Funny thing is, some of them I found way back, but only recently started using when the right use case clicked. I kept bookmarking them. And that s when their real value showed up.

Hey Product Hunt!

I'm Gunjan Data Analyst by day, builder by night (and honestly, most of the day too).

I run GS Academy, an online platform where I teach Excel, Power BI, SQL, and AI tools. Somewhere between teaching and building, I realized most AI tools are either too generic or too expensive for the people I work with.

So I built Genius Suite an AI workspace with three focused tools for job hunting, LinkedIn optimization, and Claude token efficiency.

When you re browsing the Product Hunt leaderboard or checking out top launches, which category of products actually makes you stop and click?

Example, yesterday @lazverry told me on my forum thread that they are a creator, so they spend a lot of time looking into Design & Creatives and Productivity.

I'll start.

Supabase. Found it here three years ago. Thought it was just another backend. Now I can't imagine building without it.

Here's what it does for us at Rankfender:

Auth that doesn't make you crazy. We have users across 120+ countries. Supabase handles sign-ups, logins, password resets, magic links, OAuth with Google and GitHub. It just works. We didn't have to build any of it.

Over the past few years, I ve ended up with a scattered stack of tools domains, SaaS subscriptions, plugins, licenses, hosting, etc.

Some are in Google Keep, some in emails, and others I forgot I even signed up for.

I m curious how do you track everything you ve purchased for your projects or startup?

• Do you use a password manager?

• Manual spreadsheet?

• Some kind of custom-built dashboard?

We all have that one tool - the unsung hero quietly doing its job and saving you hours every single week.

For me (no surprise ), it s @Clueso

I was recently talking with a group of founders, and we went around sharing tools we're using now. Posting my notes for our community here - would love to know what else people are using!

Voice AI toolkit:

- Vapi

What is a tool you use everyday but cringe when you have to open them? For me, Excel and Adobe PDF. Replacement recs?

The other day I saw a poll on LinkedIn which said one of the biggest ongoing struggles of startups and small businesses is reliable, scalable lead generation especially beyond the usual tools like Apollo, ZoomInfo, Clearbit, etc.

Product Hunt often features some fresh and creative approaches to data. I have seen some around company enrichment, contact intelligence, trigger signals or even outreach automation.
But often PH launches get forgotten after their launch day.

What are some lesser-known or recent data tools you ve come across on Product Hunt that help with lead gen, enrichment, or prospecting?
