What should we build at Product Hunt?

@rrhoover I like the product hunt online coworking space. I think it has lots of potential giving the number of people (like me) who works remotely. A few suggestions (which Im sure you already thought about) -Something better than the chrome plugin. Always having a new tab open isnt the best. -chat room -Profile/photo -Different channel/room to communicate? -capacity to make friends etc. -Ability to share work, give feedback, suggestion ** the pomodoro is cool but I actually only use it to share what I m working on. Its always the first thing I ask in co working space or when I work with other people "what are you working on?"

@rrhoover Product Hunt Stories. End feature. *Send suggestion*

Wow, I didn’t expect that founders would be so open to suggestions! Thank you @rrhoover for wanting to hear the community’s opinion. I would suggest considering the creation of a comprehensive crowdfunding platform that allows creators to showcase their projects and receive funding directly from the community. This feature could enhance engagement by connecting developers with potential investors and supporters. Additionally, I see a need for the following tools for feedback and collaboration: 1. Hiring and Collaboration page of a product. For example, if a startup needs developers or employees, it would be great to indicate this directly on the product card. 2. Info page for upcoming Funding Rounds of a product. With details like pitch decks and data rooms. 3. Incentives for Supporters, those who back the startups. For example, offering reposts and shares in their social media or unconditional donations to support product development. Such tools would allow the Product Hunt community to be more engaged in each other’s products. There are many ideas; it’s just unfortunate that this discussion is at the bottom of the site, and I stumbled upon it by chance. It seems something needs to be done with these open discussions—perhaps display them more prominently in user profiles or add filters on the discussion page. I would be happy to share more ideas in the future! Thank you for such a great platform!!

@rrhoover 3 different view possibilities on the homescreen of hunted products. 1) Simple view: (How it is now) (default). 2) Quick view: (with screenshots of all products under the description) for quicker browsing quality of a product. 3) Extended view: Like quickview but with first comment and hunters details for even better quality verification of the product. Have a good Road Map session :)

@rrhoover PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give users the ability suggest or remove 'related products' Most of the time the suggests are incomplete, or worse, totally inaccurate. And there is no way to suggest or downvote/flag incorrect related products etc.

@rrhoover You already have ship, so I thought why not help out makers after their product is up and running.. how about a few ancillary service pages? For example: -Growth mentorship -Crowdfunding -Investor corner - Marketing Etc. All of these can be community driven or a pack of services offered by ph. All the best for your session! 😁👍🏼

@rrhoover My favorite PH feature is the list with new products. However, as a busy founder, I don't always have time to look at it as often as I would want to. I find the Morning Brew model working well for me to catch up on the news. It works for me partially because I am a night person - their email arrives right when I go to sleep and I always have time to read it. Not many emails arrive during that time making it a perfect fit into my attention span window. (I also do realize that they shoot for 6 am EST and it just happens to work for me on the West Coast) Everyone's ideal email time is different so if I'd have to design a PH product (different from PH daily) email for myself here's what I would add: - ability to pick a time for your email in your timezone - 3 top products from yesterday (provides possible useful tools/apps I might start using) - 3 random products from today (or all time) - 3 recent products from an industry of your interest (e.g. AR, voice, remote work, etc)

@rrhoover - It seems to me there is still a advantage or disadvantage arising from when one posts something on PH. What about a feature that would hold all posts in a queue and release them at the same time (midnight PT for example) - unless you specify a future launch date in which case midnight PT that day?
