What do you miss about Product Hunt?
Over the past few months, we have seen some major and minor changes here, such as:
– removal of "Notify Me" pages
– addition of downvotes to comments (BTW, did you use that when it existed?)
– or the end of endless scrolling in the comments section – they replaced it with numbered pages
Is there anything you can think of that would improve the platform? (Apart from DMs, which you keep mentioning. 😅)
[Personally, I miss a button to bookmark my conversations, or interesting/valuable comments of other people.]

I miss the teaser pages with the Notify me button!!! 💔

@laurencoral Me too! But also that badge next to someone's profile that they will launch soon :)

@laurencoral When is the launch date? :)
@busmark_w_nika I am still not decided between Monday or Tuesday next week 🙌
Any suggestions?
minimalist phone: creating folders
@laurencoral Tuesday usually with higher traffic. On Mondays, a lot of work meetings, so maybe less competition. I would rather have more exposure, so I would try Tuesday, but it will be hard. If you love challenges, go for Tuesday.

@laurencoral Can you share a link? :)
@busmark_w_nika sure: https://www.producthunt.com/products/emoz-io

@laurencoral Thank you! :)

Dark Mode?

@hellodavidryan I usually operate in light mode, so I didn't notice that. But you are true! :D This one is missing :)

@hellodavidryan @busmark_w_nika same to you nika

@hellodavidryan @priyankamandal we would be hated by coders LOL
Brutal Teardowns
@hellodavidryan @busmark_w_nika The lack of this feature is a bit of a tone-deaf slap in the face to the PH audience.
I miss when the daily feed wasn’t entirely AI slop. Everything is a chatGPT wrapper or some other form of AI-powered garbage now. So much so that my daily routine is no longer “browsing PH for the best and most creative new products”, but rather simply “finding the one or two products on the daily feed that isn’t AI trash so I can upvote them, regardless of what they are.”
AI killed creativity and it’s sad. I can’t wait for this bubble to pop and this obnoxious fad to die.

@andrewdavidj Unfortunately, we are in the AI bubble, and it will last for some time.

Bookmark button for good threads/comments!
Also infinite scroll for comments used to be nice

@sanskarix yeah, I am also missing that infinite scroll TBH :D

Back when your product could gain visibility without the need to be featured by Product Hunt's employees.

@richardreeze There would probably be many non-innovative products tho.
The job board 😢
minimalist phone: creating folders
@ruxandra_mazilu True. But for now, @fmerian sometimes shares forums with job openings.
@fmerian @busmark_w_nika yess, and I think it's a great start! But the job board allowed startups to list the roles they were looking for on the perfect platform for people with a maker's mindset. Considering how hard it is for startups to find the right people to grow their teams (especially for early-stage), I'd say the job board was a really helpful addition for founders (and job seekers, ofc)

You're spot on, and Product Forums (/p/) solved it IMHO.
Product Forums are underrated. From my perspective, they are places to talk all-things product: announcements, updates, best practices... and careers, too!
See examples with @v0 by Vercel:
Hiring: Product Engineer and Senior Product Marketing Manager
Hiring: 3 more open roles including Sales Engineer and Content Marketer
Hope it inspires

exactly. every 1st of the month in /p/producthunt, using this format:

@fmerian I can't wait to see more! :)

Not sure that I would want DMs, I already have so many different platforms to keep a track of in regards to DMs, would prefer dark mode for sure, bookmarks as mentioned, downvoting, a ranking of which products were the most "collected" or saved, it's sort of another way to rank products.
For the multiple DMs, yes I know @Beeper has tried to fix this, but still buggy at times, and not completely reliable, but better than nothing.
minimalist phone: creating folders
@mogabr I am not so sure whether I wanted DMs too because I would probably receive tons of messages :D Time is limited.

I miss the Notify Me feature the most.
minimalist phone: creating folders
@priyankamandal True, people could know about our upcoming products thanks to "Launching soon" badge next to the profile.
I vaguely remember that there used to be options for deals and consulting with experts long back.
minimalist phone: creating folders
@rohanrecommends What? When? Which year? :D
The ability to swiftly return to topics I was involved in is something I truly miss. It would be lot simpler if there was only a "saved conversations" tab. I also find that the numbered pages slow me down a little; the unlimited scroll seemed more appropriate for conversations.

@madison_shaw Save button for convo or following the discussion would be useful to me as well! :)
minimalist phone: creating folders
@madison_shaw But for now, you can follow only the forum (e.g Product Hunt forum)
