... teams rocketed to the top , winning $10k in OpenAI for Startups API credits and 1 year of ChatGPT Pro. Congrats to AmiAI , AINA Tech , @MosMos , @ProductBridge , and @Sider: AI Research Agent & Extension for getting top 5 on the leaderboard! Here's what they built: #1 Ami AI is Lovable for outbound sales. Give it a target: "100 demos by October." It provisions the infra, maps the accounts, and flags the exact week your pipeline breaks if a lead slips ... ... engine, and runs directly on your existing ChatGPT or Codex credits.

... runs of the same request on the same commit, two diffs that do not match, and most of us file it under luck. A leaderboard published this month put a count on that luck, because it prints every trial: eight models, ten tasks, eight runs of each. We tallied the eighty cells. Six passed on every run, thirty-three failed on every run, and forty-one, more than half, landed somewhere between. Under it are two sources of variation ... ... added in a different order as the batch around your request changes. An agent loop turns that into a different first file to read, and from there the two runs walk different paths. The figure people quote from a leaderboard

... builders, Wanted to share a project built to explore dynamic visibility for early projects: RankHeist. Instead of static listing tables, it runs dynamic daily leaderboards that lock every midnight UTC. Products bid incrementally starting at +$1 to claim the top spot and capture daily outbound traffic. Early numbers: - 12 bids placed - 66 outbound clicks driven to early projects - $96 in transaction volume processed Built with Gemini, Antigravity, and Dodo Payments. Check it out at rankheist.lol open to feedback ...

... everyone. Side build rather than a HeyNews release, but there is an offer attached. inboxbid is a public leaderboard of email newsletters, ordered by the total each owner has paid to sit there, with the amount printed next to each one. No algorithm, no editorial picks, no revenue share. Bids start at $1. Taking a seat costs a dollar more than the total that seat holds, and bidding under the top price still lands you on the board, lower down ... ... trial and the listing are separate. Live count of spots is at the top of the page: https://inboxbid.lol Comment from Oliver Graf(@oliver_graf1): @cagrisarigoz  Nice! That would be really interesting to see. It could make the leaderboard

... made leaderboards. I made one. You made one. Everyone made one So I thought, what if instead of fighting for a spot on another leaderboard

... just launched GlobeWars on ProductHunt I saw outbid.lol blow up on X with such a simple idea: pay more, move higher on a leaderboard. I loved the mechanic, but there were already plenty of leaderboard

... makers.page used to be a link-in-bio tool. One of a hundred, no real reason to pick it. While building it I kept seeing MRR leaderboards like TrustMRR, cool, but only useful once you have revenue. Most makers don't yet. So I rebuilt it as a leaderboard

... facts are closer to the same fact than they look here's the eval that actually predicts whether your thing ships. There's a number that decided which model your product runs on. You saw it on a leaderboard or in a launch post 94% on this, state-of-the-art on that and it did its job: it made you feel safe picking. I've done exactly this. That number is close to useless for the thing you actually ... ... save them. When you change a prompt or swap a model, rerun those twenty and read the paths, not just the outputs. That's it. Twenty hand-picked real traces will tell you more about your product than any leaderboard

... Classic early-stage mistake, sharing it so you can skip it. We assumed gamification would drive engagement from day one. Badges, progress bars, real-time feedback. We even built a full leaderboard before launch. Then we stepped back and realized: a leaderboard

... just launched a product on Product Hunt for the first time, and it made me realize how little I actually understood about launching on PH. There are obviously things like upvotes and leaderboard position, but I'm starting to think those aren't necessarily the most important indicators. For makers who've launched here before: What actually made a difference for your launch? I'm particularly curious about things like: Did comments matter more than you expected ... ... your first genuinely interested users? Did you focus on the leaderboard

... clock face. Genius and incompetence living in the same box, and no obvious seam between them. That gap between capability and reliability is the thing most makers are quietly getting wrong right now. The instinct is to open a leaderboard, pick whatever's at the top, wire it in, and ship. The demo is dazzling. Then production happens. Across enterprise deployments this year, teams are seeing roughly a 37% gap between benchmark scores in the lab and how the same ... ... through. That's not an edge case. That's every user you have. So what do you do about it, concretely? Three things, none of them glamorous. Build your own eval from real transcripts, not a public benchmark. Your leaderboard

... trivia app over the past few months, and one thing I've realized is that creating questions is only half the challenge. Keeping users engaged day after day is much harder. Many quiz apps rely on daily rewards, streaks, leaderboards, XP systems, or achievements. Others focus on multiplayer, user-generated quizzes, or personalized learning. Each approach seems to work for different audiences. I'm curious about what actually keeps people coming back. If you've used or built a quiz ... ... educational, or casual game: What feature made you open it again the next day? Do you prefer competing on leaderboards

... Hello! I am working on Bouncing Ball, a simple pixel-art arcade game for Android. Move the wooden plank, keep the ball bouncing, beat your high score, and compete on the global leaderboard. The game is starting with Endless Mode: quick runs, simple controls, and a competitive score chase. I would love feedback from players who enjoy small arcade games that are easy to understand but hard to master. Let me know what you think! Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/ap... ...

... like to discuss how launch-day events and sponsored leaderboards can create fair discovery opportunities for smaller makers. When hundreds of products launch on the same day, teams with established audiences can generate early votes and comments. For newer projects without that audience, being placed low in the leaderboard

... planning doc we wrote before launch. So I wanted to write down what we heard, what it changed, and where we're headed. What these three days felt like Launch day was a blur of Slack pings and leaderboard refreshes. But once the adrenaline settled, we realized the operators showing up weren't asking "what does it do?" they were pressure-testing whether they could trust it to act on their store. That's a better problem to have ... ... Team Lead is steered by margin floors, send-frequency caps and brand rules not merely blocked at individual high-stakes steps. A small ask If ClawTeams resonates with you, we'd be grateful for your support on the weekly leaderboard

That value determines its ranking position inside a public leaderboard. Unlike traditional advertising platforms, nobody owns a position forever. Every Slot continuously loses value through a public mathematical decay mechanism. Currently the decay rate is 0.4% per hour. This means visibility is always fluid. No hidden ranking factors. No recommendation ... ... algorithms. No engagement farming. No mysterious score that only the platform understands. Everything is visible and predictable.

... recurring piece of feedback after launching PH Radar was that makers want more context, not just rankings. I'm currently experimenting with a BI layer that analyzes Product Hunt activity beyond the daily leaderboard. Current prototype dashboards include:: Launches by category Votes by category Hunter activity Comment-to-vote ratios Historical launch trends My goal is to help makers answer questions like: Which categories are becoming more competitive? Which hunters are consistently active? When is the best time to launch ... ... mine " over "who won today." A few of these are already in the dashboard I'm building: median votes/comments by category and comment-to-vote by category are done, and I just started capturing early-traction curves (first hours vs

... been sitting on a launch, this is your window. Schedule your Product Hunt launch for Friday and be sure to add the Vercel Day launch tag to be included on the official Vercel Day leaderboard.

Launch your product on Product Hunt that day with the Vercel Day tag and you're on the official Vercel Day leaderboard alongside every other builder going live that day. Top launches win prizes and get serious visibility from a crowd that's already paying attention. This is the move if you've been waiting for a reason to launch. You've got four ... ... port it on Vercel :)) Comment from Anais Soutami(@a_soutami): Count me in! Finishing final polish on our AI dev workflow tool and locking in our May 15 launch for Vercel Day. Super pumped for the extra leaderboard

... launched. You got upvotes. Maybe you hit the top 10. Then silence. The leaderboard moved on. Your product is still great. No one is talking about it. Most makers accept this. The launch is over. It is not. Your product needs to be found in AI answers, search results, and by people who never saw your launch day. That takes more than upvotes. It takes content, optimization, and tracking. We want to help one maker with that. Free. Using Rankfender ... ... rank. AI visibility tracking. Rankfender will track where your product appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.

... broke the scoring system down in a public thread. One repost from a builder I respect 23 signups overnight. Lesson: nobody cares about your launch. They care about a number that means something to them .

It's a starting line. Next 34 days: 500 active builders, vibe scores that predict who actually ships, and the first hires made on score alone. If you ship come prove it.
