General Forums on Product Hunt

Lauching for 5th time - Still loving it, but we need to talk...

Matous Kralik · 2026-02-17T02:04:14.619-08:00

So, @Boost.space is launching today. Every time we decide to go through this whole "Product Hunt thingy," it feels like a full-circle moment.But we keep doing it. Whenever we have a major release—like this v5—we end up back here. It honestly feels like Product Hunt is simply the place to be.I have to be honest: I love how Product Hunt reacted to the "falling trends" and "hijacked launches" by actually changing the mechanics. Our previous launches were insane. We’ve had races with 1,250 upvotes against "weird tools" that someone vibecoded overnight.What I love about Product Hunt now is that it reveals how strong your community actually is. We have nearly 5,000 members across Facebook and Slack—a massive group of active users and dedicated moderators. Under the new system, every single one of those votes counts more than ever.But beyond the users, you have to activate your partners; they are a massive part of the Product Hunt mix. It really makes you stop and ask: "Are we leaning on our community pillars enough?"In a world obsessed with "growth hacking," "AI shortcuts," and "weird outreach," it feels like we’re forgetting the bedrock of every business: Relationships. With everyone. Partners, users, and followers on LinkedIn and X.Of course, you can buy "packages" from the influencers who slide into your DMs the very first minute of your launch, promising a #1 spot because of their follower count. But is that what you actually want? Is that the spirit of Product Hunt?No. It’s simpler than that:Good productActive communityStable partnershipsDon’t be a d*ckYes, that last one matters most. 😁Post your launch or product here, lets talk about it, lets be humans and support each other. No weird "AI this" and "AI that". At least for a little bit 🤞

How to benefit from the Product Hunt forums?

Yesterday I was thinking about how users of this platform can get the most out of Forums. Here are some ideas: 1 There aren't that many posts in the "Introduce yourself" section, so if you contribute something, there's a better chance of getting noticed by the community. 2 Even if you are an old member of the community, you can "reintroduce" yourself. A lot of people came here, so not everyone may remember you or know about you. At the same time, you can provide help to people in the areas you excel in just mention it in a post. 3 Recent posts allow you to tag people. When you are co-creating a product with someone, tag other collaborators in the "Self-promotion" section. This will automatically notify them as well and they will more likely support the post. 4 Ask questions that can help you improve the product. Conversations are now more moderated and even commented on by PH team members. This way you can get a professional perspective and improve your product or your next launch. 5 You can also take advantage of the Product Forums contribute to "p/Figma", "p/Supabase", "p/Notion" and other popular product forums... You can, for example, break down the most common problems of that particular tool and provide solutions. (Forum Threads appear e.g. in the sidebar for a given product for extra visibility) If you have any other ideas on how to take advantage of this new feature, I would like to see the opportunities from your perspective.

🔍 Anyone here actually using Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

I ve been exploring MCP, an open standard from @Anthropic that aims to simplify AI integrations.

In theory, this should make it easier to connect AI with databases, task managers, or even development tools. But I m curious to know how well it actually works in practice.

What kind of apps would earn you more money?

I see a lot of tech products on Product Hunt that are meant to improve someone else's business situation, and as many makers as possible are ideally targeting the B2B market.

However, this past week I've also seen a lot of "fun" products that not only made it into the featured category but also earned one of the product of the day titles.

As a founder, how to get started on X/Twitter?

I joined X last week as an effort to try out the whole founder led growth / build in public thing. At first it seemed exciting. There are a lot of very interesting people there and I find it easy to produce good enough content and be consistent with it. But a week in I haven t gotten a single follower, comment or like. The views on my posts are also super low. So yes, I m in that spot where I don t know what I don t know. Actually there is too much I don t know. So dear reader, if you have any tips or suggestions on how to get going (or simply why I should just drop the effort) they d be much appreciated, even if it s just sharing what s worked for you. Thanks in advance!

How do you use technology mindfully - as a tool - when you're a founder?

Hey folks! I'm currently writing a book about cutting down on the level of interaction we have with technology, being more mindful with it. I was wondering if any makers/creators/founders wanted to share some insights into how you use tech as a tool, and set boundaries on it - rather than being owned by it? Could be around setting limits on phone use, setting limits on online tools etc. Thank you!!!

Voice AI course and online community

Announcing: Voice Agents course and online community ...

@swyx and I are hosting a month-long technical deep dive into Voice AI and Voice Agents, starting in May.
Our goals are to:
cover all the lessons we've learned over the last two years building realtime, conversational AI,
host fun sessions with all our favorite people who are doing related things,
and
build a long-term online community.
Sign-up link: https://lnkd.in/gnPuHyD4
We'll start announcing free credits for students on Monday. Sign up this weekend with promo code PHUNT for a super-secret Product Hunt community discount.
Last year I signed up for the LLM fine-tuning course taught by Hamel Husain and Dan Becker.
The experience was fantastic in every way. The material was great. The course expanded to cover way more than fine-tuning. It seemed like all of Twitter signed up. I met people in the course Discord that have become online and offline friends. Someone eventually dubbed the course "AI Woodstock." (I think credit for that goes to Swyx.)
We think this is the moment to try to create a similar thing for voice AI.
Voice interfaces are going to be a huge part of the near-future of computing. Voice agents are being deployed at scale today for a wide range of use cases.
collecting patient data prior to healthcare appointments
following up on inbound sales leads,
handling an increasing variety of call center tasks,
coordinating scheduling and logistics between companies, and
answering the phone for nearly every kind of small business.
I'm personally excited about voice interactions for games, realtime video, and voice-enabled programming environments.
