Hi there 👋 I'm Ashley, Product Hunt's CEO. AMA 👇

@shankybaba Thanks Shashank, we had a blast! And lots more events in the works, so stay tuned 😄

@maxwellcdavis Hey Maxwell 👋 You're totally right! We are currently staffing up our native mobile team so you should see a lot more from us soon! In the meantime, if you know any great mobile engineers or designers, please send them our way!

@lior_galante_cohen Hey Lior! Lots of exciting stuff to come, I outlined the major stuff we're focusing on in this comment.

@ahiggz Thanks Ashley!

@sagar_devkate Hey Sagar, thanks for the question! Things change week to week depending on the needs of the team (#startuplife), but right now it's something like: 25% hiring, 25% strategy (especially growth), 50% supporting the team on current execution work.

@nithur Hey Nirthursan! I used to do more personal journaling but not as often these days. As a fully remote team at Product Hunt, I definitely do a fair bit of long-form writing to articulate strategy in a way that's digestible for the team async. I find it's an amazing forcing function to clarify your own thinking around something.

@mishra_mayank Inspired more than overwhelmed, I just try to keep up with everyones' endless energy and enthusiasm to keep tackling interesting problems.

@ahiggz indeed inspiring to hear that from you!

@bharatpasam Looking at our track record, I think we're pretty great at it! But we're always trying to find ways to get new makers on the platform, so that launches stay fresh and interesting.

@ahiggz Thanks!! Best of luck

@orliesaurus I usually wake up around 7:30a

@ahiggz ahhh glad to hear you're not a 4am terminator!

@orliesaurus I gave up on that pipe dream a long time ago! If you haven't already, go ahead and read Why We Sleep. The author makes a compelling case for not cutting off sleep before ~8 hours. Some of the most important cognitive & memory processes happen in the last couple of hours of sleep during NREM. Now I sleep until the sun comes up, guilt free 😇
