Would you share product updates on Product Hunt between launches?

by
Hey Makers! Jamie from the Product Hunt team here. Launches are a way to share big milestones for your team over the course of many months of work, but there are so many smaller updates in between that might be interesting to share and connect with the community. We’re exploring some new ways to make posting product updates more frequent, and we're curious to hear from you on what would help you most. Makers, if you had a way to post incremental product updates (written, video, or some other way), would you do it? Product enthusiasts, would you find these updates an interesting way to follow along with your favorite makers so they don’t become long lost friends you haven’t heard from in 6 months? Fill out the poll and comment below with your thoughts. 👇

Yes, that'd help a lot to see the active and continuously maintained products. Also, a nice way for makers to stay on momentum when improving the product little by little.

Definitely. Actually, coming from Indie Hackers I was a bit disappointed not to be able to post updates on the product. Looking forward to it! 🤓
Same time update on twitter & PH would be 🔥

I think this is a great idea. We just launched otrpass.com yesterday, and it went really well but I was just today wondering how best to keep users aware of major updates.

@bill_hoppin1 that's great feedback, thank you! For now, the best way is to come back and launch again when you have a major update but hopefully we will work out a solution soon for smaller incremental updates in between launches.

i’d personally love a central product page that i can send to customers/investors that acts as my “release notes” and “founder updates”. i would think this could easily be a micro-product within the product hunt ecosystem

Certainly. While sharing incremental updates and gathering as much feedback as possible can be immensely beneficial, I personally prefer a longer interval between updates.

Updates means a version bump, would be great to have a single centralized profile for each product including its all updates that can act like a change-log for product too.

That would be even greater if we could group these feature updates based on user values categories. That way users could see where is the builders focus being at and provide feedbacks to steer the wheel into a particular direction... MHO

Absolutely! It's not just a launch platform, but advertising as well :)
