Does the Product Hunt algorithm hate Solo Creators? My Alpha Day experience

Yesterday was Alpha Day here on Product Hunt, and as a solo founder, it was an absolute rollercoaster. 🎢 I spent the last year coding Clio in the evenings, trying to build something that actually helps students save time without compromising academic integrity. Seeing the algorithm hide numbers or filter votes was tough, but it reminded me why I started: To build for the users, not for the leaderboard. If you believe that small, independent creators still deserve a spot alongside the big VC-funded startups, I’d love for you to take a second look at Clio. It’s not just about a 'vote' — it’s about giving a project that I’ve poured my heart into the visibility it needs to actually reach the students who need it most.
