How to attract the next generation of Makers?
As many of you are likely aware, Product Hunt has always been a place for builders, founders, and tech enthusiasts to discover and share what’s new. But as the startup landscape evolves, so does the next generation of Makers.
I’d love to hear your thoughts - how can we make Product Hunt more appealing to first-time founders, students, and emerging Makers? Are there specific challenges they face that we have the chance to address?
Some questions to get your mind thinking:
What are newer Makers looking for in a platform like Product Hunt? Or missing?
Are there specific types of content, discussions, or features that would encourage more participation?
How can we better support those launching their very first product?
If you’re a newer Maker yourself (or recently were), would especially love to hear your perspective!

I am a new maker working on our MVP currently. I must say Product Hunt provides a very active and engaged community compared to other forums and makes it easy to learn from the experiences of others.
One thing i noticed is that some of us new to PH do not understand exactly how a product is initally 'hunted' - Is it best to hunt ourselves, or find a hunter, how we can utilise a tight network to promote the launch etc. An intro video/demo of how to take advantage of PH would be very useful.
