I spend most of my time on these two things:
1) observing products on the main page and upvoting/commenting on them

2) talking with people within comments under my forums

The second one is the one where I notice some things that I lack and see possible improvements, namely:

I ve been here for almost three years, and over time, I ve started to see this platform as a social network.

I know that many people come to launch their products and, due to time constraints, do not have time to establish a strong presence here, but I m glad some regular users focus on building the community.

I ve noticed this phenomenon not only on social platforms like LinkedIn or X, but also in Product Hunt discussions.

The more users a platform has, the harder it becomes for your own posts to stand out. But the process can be much simpler than it seems!

We ve got a big update: after ten years, we re officially sunsetting the Golden Kitty Awards.

Product Hunt is the place to discover your next favorite thing, now with badges, descriptions, reviews, and a bunch more.

Many of you sometimes write to me in DMs asking how to position yourself on Product Hunt.

From the question, I always get the feeling that people want to speed up the process, publish something quickly, get a high position in the ranking of launched products and a badge. But this is a long-term game.

When I first launched on Product Hunt, I had no idea what to expect. I wasn t sure anyone would notice our little startup, and honestly, I felt intimidated. Everyone seemed so established, and I didn t know where I fit in.

But then something incredible happened. A kind comment from @aaronoleary. Encouragement from the PH community. Support from the Product Hunt team when we ran into issues. A hunt from @benln. A thoughtful reply from @rajiv_ayyangar himself.

• That first launch became Product of the Day.

• We were later nominated for Product of the Year.

• In 2023, I was named Community Member of the Year.

• And now in 2025, I ve been invited to serve as a Product Hunt Ambassador!

AI workflow automation tools help you design, run, and evolve workflows that actually take action not just suggest what to do next. Some use AI to make workflows easier to build. Others embed AI directly into execution so workflows can handle ambiguity, make decisions, and adapt as they run. The strongest tools do both.

This definition excludes tools where AI only generates static workflows and then steps aside. It also excludes general assistants that never meaningfully participate in end-to-end execution.

Hi everyone, Gabe here! I lead curating Product Hunt's leaderboard.

First thing I will say is that if I could feature every single product that works, I would. I love supporting makers and demoing products. I actually try to test every single thing that gets hunted every day... which is A TON.  But I view our job as to surface the most interesting, novel, useful, and innovative products - daily. Now we may not always get it right, the process isn't perfect, but we're trying to do right by the community.
