I think the value prop for businesses is quite clear, but the real trick will be around how to get people to invest their time to give valuable and thought out feedback. Winning a price wasn't enough for me, nor did I feel like I would get other non-monetary benefits from it.
@henrikharju That's true! We have had some really nice feedback during beta, and we see that quite a few keep coming back to contribute in the same way they do in a community like Product Hunt. We also see that a lot of contributions come from a campaigner's own community, and that a few of them wish to stay.

@henrikharju I disagree. Oddly enough, I've found it fun so far. And I think if people were familiar with the campaigner (ie its a product they use), they'd be happy to have their feedback heard. And there's always plenty of people willing to give a weird amount of effort for nothing in return. I don't think finding users will be a problem, here.

Really a great idea but you need to fix the app.

Very interesting Product to create products and the best part is 'Real People help you to build the product'. Creating interest before the pre-launch and also incorporating the best features directly with the help of actual users of your product . A new game in Tech and Startup world will begin if IDEAHUNT is effectively implemented. Many thanks for Elia for bringing awesome product to the the tech surface.
@riser_spy I am really happy to hear that, and agree that a platform like this is needed. Startups and products live and die by feedback. We have had a LOT of people help us make Idea Hunt what it is, and we look forward to developing it further in the same community spirit

Just a tiny PSA: this stock photo of a lady holding sparkler has been featured as the main image on at least 4 different products I've seen on PH. It's lovely, but maybe it's time to retire it.
Very nice idea Elia. This is a market research tool in the same vein as UserTesting.com in many respects. I can imagine iterating to product market fit based on feedback gathered from this tool.
I like the concept, and even see Product Hunt building it in as a feature to monetize, but I find it too complicated, and inconveniently organized. There's something there, but ultimately Ina simpler form. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves.
