Let s bring back everyone s favorite kind of feedback: brutally honest and weirdly helpful.
Drop a link to your landing page in the comments. Then roast someone else s. Keep it real, keep it useful, keep it (mostly) kind

We re talking:

• What s confusing?

• What s missing?

• What s great but buried?

• Would you actually sign up or bounce?

The rules:

We re trying something new on Thursday: Alpha Day.

The idea is simple. If this is the first time you re launching your product anywhere, you can tag it alpha and get a boost to your points (and land on a special leaderboard).

If you re still sitting on your launch, this is the push.

YC made a special exception for this community: one or more companies that launch tomorrow will get a YC interview and potentially funding. A YC partner will review every eligible launch.

Every day, after launching, makers are contacted on LinkedIn and X by people offering to sell votes. As the Product Hunt team, we are very much aware of this and really hate it. We have systems in place to neutralize this type of gaming. Every vote counts for a different number of points on Product Hunt. A couple examples:

• An account with a recently created gmail address and no history of quality contributions on Product Hunt: this vote will count for 0 points. Yes, this might be a well intentioned user, but we take a conservative approach to protect the community. If the account has a company email or applies for verification on Product Hunt, that's a different story.

• An account with a company email address linked to a legitimate LinkedIn account with a history of meaningful contributions on Product Hunt: this vote carries significant weight.

A couple questions for the community:

• Are there specific accounts on Product Hunt that you suspect participate in vote selling? You can reply here or email report@producthunt.co

• What would you want to see us do differently here?

Vercel Day returns to the leaderboard Friday, September 25! This time, top launches could head straight to Vercel's Ship SF.

The mission: ship a sharp, polished web product built on Vercel. If it s ready, don't let it sit on localhost.

Let s settle this once and for all.

Do you spend 3 hours trying to find a clever .com before writing a single line of code? Or do you ship the MVP and slap on whatever domain wasn t taken at the time?

Cast your vote and tell us why.

We're partnering with Vercel to bring Vercel Day back to the leaderboard

If you're building on Vercel, now is the time to get ready to launch. Schedule your product for June 16th, add the tag vercel-day to your launch, and you're in.

We've teamed up with @Y Combinator or to give builders one more chance.

Launch on Product Hunt this Friday, tag your post "YC application" @gustaf will personally review the top launches. One or more will walk away with a YC interview, even though the official deadline has passed.

If you re launching today, the leaderboard is about to get a lot more interesting.

We are running a Randomized Day to give products launching more of an opportunity to get seen!

The Mechanics

To level the playing field, we are cycling the homepage layout throughout the day:
The Loop: This cycle repeats every 30 minutes, all day long.

It's simple. Drop your next big idea and get some brutally honest but hopefully valuable feedback. The rules are:

• Drop your idea, you don't have to go super in depth but give a sentence or two about what it is and does.

• Get roasted, duh

• Roast someone else's.

That way we create a cycle of feedback
