Since Product Hunt started, it’s been a place for makers to geek out with their audience, get feedback, and share their story directly with the community but it’s always been limited to a product launch event.
For the last few weeks we’ve been scheduling an awesome lineup of founders, investors, authors, game creators, entertainers, and makers in preparation for today’s launch. Aileen Lee, Ashton Kutcher, Ben Horowitz, B.J. Novak, Casey Neistat, Chris Sacca, Gary Vaynerchuk, Jacob Jaber, Nas, Tony Robbins, Veronica Belmont, and some of the most diehard Product Hunt community members along with over 100 others. Check out the full schedule.
Like a modern day founder, I wrote more about Product Hunt LIVE on Medium. 😉
Please let us know who you’d like to do a text-based LIVE Chat (tag them in the comments below).
P.S. BIG thanks to the team for staying up late last night to squash some pesky bugs. 🙌

@rrhoover So a couple of ambitious ones: Elon Musk & Ed Catmull 😉
Joel Gascoigne & Josh Pigford would be good too 👍
@eriktorenberg Yeah. Cuban would be awesome too. Donald Trump is so outrageous though that I would make sure I had nothing else scheduled for that day.
@rrhoover Years ago I worked for an Idealab company PeopleLink. We used to have a studio and do live text chat (the first to do this on the internet at the time) with
celebrities such as Madonna, Stan Lee, etc. It was hugely popular and people really enjoyed the interactions. Extending to video/audio has some benefits as people can passively participate/listen/watch while doing other tasks and then jump into a text/chat area. The people you have on your schedule is impressive. Very nicely done. I look forward to these live events.
@rrhoover Would love to get you and @ariroisman together in Silicon Valley to discuss a potential way to use Glide for video Q&As. Of course, I think he'd be a good future PH Live guest as well ;)
Hey I was one of the people that kicked off IAmA on Reddit, and I gotta say I'm impressed with the "Remind Me" feature. Please provide an option to sort by attendance!
@tombielecki Great idea on sorting! Seconded.
I think the "Remind Me" feature is fantastic. I'd love to see another option (besides email) for reminders - maybe Slack or SMS? This would be a great opportunity to build a native Slack integration. Or maybe you could work with @hellobrent to build AMA reminders into http://www.producthunt.com/tech/... ?
