[ChangeLog] December 11 — Leaderboard redesign, mobile @-mentions

by

👉 @-mentions now have autocomplete on mobile —Tag your friends to bring them in on the conversation!

mobile mentions  

👉 New launch-day dashboard for makers with social link tracking — Track your points and ranking over the course of the day and see which social posts are bringing you the most support.

👉 Redesigned leaderboard with points — The leaderboard now displays points, which are based primarily on upvotes with comments as an additional factor. Points determine the ranking. In the past we’ve displayed upvotes, which are only one component of the ranking, and this caused lots of confusion (”Why is my launch ranked lower than a launch with fewer upvotes?”).

👉 Renamed "Topics" to Launch Tags" to be more descriptive — We have two main taxonomies at Product Hunt. Launch Tags are topical tags like AI, Productivity, iOS app, Open Source, Audio that are relevant for launches. Your product hub (which contains all your launches) belongs to one or more Product Categories. These are organized by use case, to help people find the best product for them. E.g. Code review tools, AI databases, SEO tools.∫

What an exciting set of updates, Rajiv! 🚀 Here's my take on the changes: Mobile @-mentions with autocomplete: This is a game-changer for keeping the convo flowing on the go. Tagging friends just got a lot smoother—no more "Oops, did I spell their username wrong?" vibes. Love it! 💬📱 Launch-day dashboard: Oh, the adrenaline of watching your points climb and tracking which tweet or post brings in the troops. It's like product analytics meets a sports scoreboard. Perfect for us data-loving makers. 📊✨ Redesigned leaderboard: Finally, clarity! 🎉 The points system makes so much more sense now—upvotes plus engagement. Honestly, it feels more rewarding to know thoughtful comments can make a difference too. Props for squashing that "why am I ranked lower?!" confusion. Launch Tags rename: Clearer terminology always wins. 🚀 Tags and categories working together? Smooth organization. Shoutout to everyone in the AI/SEO corner—let’s thrive with this new structure. Btw, speaking of SEO tools and AI databases, it’s probably time to mention pdf to pdf.ai. It’s an OCR tool that keeps the layout pristine while shrinking file sizes and even offers free trial credits. Tagging it with AI and productivity? Sounds like a match made in Product Hunt heaven! 😉 Loving the direction you’re taking the platform, Rajiv. Can't wait to see how these tweaks spark even more creativity and collaboration. 🌟
