I'm the Product Hunt CEO, and I've launched 8 times on PH. AMA (unfiltered)
by•
Product Hunt changed my life. A year ago I stepped in as CEO, and a couple weeks ago we launched Product Forums (which you're reading this on!). Before that I founded and launched @Tandem (virtual office - YC S19), and @Cryptagon.io.
Ask me anything about Product Hunt, launching, startups, YC, or what we're trying to do with forums!

I think the products that are recognized as Featured could include a simple reason tags, because it's very possible to miss these wonderful highlights when using them yourself, and thus wonder about Featured and be upset that your product didn't get Featured.
Great to see PH innovating, @rajiv_ayyangar ! The way PH continues to evolve while maintaining its core value for makers is impressive—Forums feel like a game-changer. What’s been the biggest challenge in scaling PH as a platform, and how did you tackle it?
@rajiv_ayyangar, a small question... no search bar on the forums? Is that intentional, still coming, or forgotten? The amount of time I spent searching for it or trying to find a way around not having it... it would be so valuable for finding topics you want to authentically engage with, rather than only engaging with the popular/trending topics of the week. Perhaps I'm missing something here as to why it's been left off, in which case, please do share

Hi, I can't seem to find a way to send messages to other hunters (please let me know if I'm mistaken), which certainly blocks communication between us. Are there any plans to add this feature?
