Product Hunt 2.0 - Discover and geek out about your next favorite thing

I guess I'm having a different reaction than everyone else. I have been a ProductHunt fan since the beginning, and the design has been a huge part of the reason why the experience is so great. The vertical list provides a simple way for me to quickly scan new products/games/podcasts. This new design is confusing and littered with distractions. I have no idea where to focus and feel like I'm just jumping around without a feel for organization or ranking. For me, this ruins the experience and makes me much less excited about spending time on ProductHunt, something I have loved since day 1. Maybe, maybe, I'm just uncomfortable because its such a big change. I'll give it a little while to see if I get used to it, but this may result in me no longer being an active daily user.

Great work getting to 2 years and amazing community. I am hoping you aren't planning on changing any of the category pages to this horizontal format. I was also hoping you would have done the design of the screenshot you sent out last night. The one with all of the filters on the right. I tried to use search to see that and I was dissappointed. I think those filters should be on the right ALL the time on the category pages. Sometimes I don't know what I am searching for by keyword and that would allow me to access platform, tags, featured, post date. Allow me to sort and filter without keywords. Just my 2 cents, you can give me back a penny if you'd like.

So happy to see this live! 🎉

It looks amazing. I love it! Really awesome job with the redesign. I have one feedback though. It would be great if I could rearrange the order of sections by dragging and dropping them.

Secret's out. 😉 Great job with the redesign guys, I think this will really help discovery and I'm excited to use it on a daily basis. 🙌

Hmm. I am sorry @rrhoover but I like the old design better. It's cleaner in my opinion and provides the much needed focus. As for the carousel, I think it works great on mobile but doesn't seem like an efficient use of space on desktop. Let me know if this makes any sense?

I'm really glad that this has been introduced as opt-in; same as enabling/disabling the product thumbnails. My personal preference is just the list of tech products without thumbnails.

Awesome work with design @rrhoover and PH team. Congrats!

Congrats @rrhoover & team! Here's a cute cat emoji for being awesome: 🐱 (and proud to have been part of the beta).

Love that you can swipe/flick left to continue browsing new tech products. When you put out the new design for initial feedback I thought we would have to click the little arrow to page to the next products in line, but this works great. And I already find myself checking out the top games and books, which I wasn't really doing before, so ... mission accomplished!
