... Usage-Based Gates Work Better Than Feature Gates - Instead of hiding features

... remember many people getting demotivated after not being featured and leaving the platform. In my opinion, that's not the best idea. Why? One product shouldn't define your aversion to it in the future. Once you build a community or personal brand, you can try again next time (for example, with a better product update) or with a different product. You never know if the next one will be good enough to reach the top spots. My recommendation ... ... easiest thing is to give up, but if you don't try, you're not only risking nothing, you're also guaranteeing you gain nothing. Zero results. What advice would you give to people who, despite not being featured

... take (from hunting PH launches): I usually recommended finalizing launch assets before publishing/scheduling on PH rather than relying on teasers. A few reasons why:  PH moderators have mentioned teaser traction isn t considered when deciding which products get featured.  Even if 1,000+ people hit Notify Me, you ll still want to nudge your friends / community on the launch day. The teaser page is slightly useful to onboard friends/colleagues new to PH, but beyond that its value ... ... limited.

... everyone, Gabe here! I lead curating Product Hunt's leaderboard. First thing I will say is that if I could feature every single product that works, I would. I love supporting makers and demoing products. I actually try to test every single thing that gets hunted every day... which is A TON .  But I view our job as to surface the most interesting, novel, useful, and innovative products - daily. Now we may not always get it right, the process ... ... good. (Please share your thoughts!) Some of the things that I've been doing aside from testing and reviewing products is reaching out to makers to help them with their launches, provide feedback on why something may not be featurable

... Following on from what @gabe posted on the forum ( I decide what's featured on the leaderboard - AMA w/ Gabe from Product Hunt ) you can be more "clear" why you didn't make it to the featured

... affiliate content to boost revenue, right? Good point. Although we see monetization as a key hook for early adopters struggling to generate content they can monetize.

... free plan, discount code, demo account, shoutouts and more, as I don't have a big audience and hoped to get the most out of this opportunity as I only got one shot. Unfortunately, it didn't get featured. I do have some enthousiastic users, and during the first hour, I had more upvotes than many of the featured

... core functionality down before moving towards UI and Design...however I often get stuck once it's on UI design as I can never get it the way I like. As I try to add more features I kinda get lost in the code and then break other things and eventually either abandon the app or simply decide to keep it super simple at the expense of features

... getting upvotes. I found a random Hunter with no followers. I wanted the whole process to be fully organic, to see how PH works. I got 85 signups to my app from the whole launch. I did not get featured on the main page. Spoke directly with the PH team about how to get featured
