Thank you everyone for supporting my first product launch. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to check out the product. Hitting the #3 product of the day was something I never expected. What an exhilarating 24 hours it's been, I could barely sleep!
I got right back to building after voting ended. And I wanted to announce a new feature here first as a sign of my gratitude. I created a new layout that's much more similar to the current Product Hunt layout. A single column stacked layout with the product details on the left and the landing page / gallery design on the right. Enjoy!
Special thanks to everyone who took the time to leave a comment 😊✌️ @rrhoover @chrismessina @busmark_w_nika @fmerian@azzam_jarad @admiralrohan @abod_rehman @theanimeshs @iamrajanrk @jaber23 @moko590 @grace_wairimu043 @xanderiang @german_merlo1 @joey_zhu1 @qiwap @pulkitgarg @lienchueh @lakshya_singh @nhat0le @sarasarasara
You are welcome! :)
No worries at all! Huge congrats on the launch — that’s an awesome milestone. Keep up the great work!
This is what I do on Product Hunt everyday: I'm a really visual person, so instead of reading descriptions and comments, I just directly open the websites of every product to figure out what they do. It's also a great way to get website design inspiration!
That's the inspiration behind VisualPH.com. You can now quickly glance at the landing pages (or gallery images/videos) of all the top products everyday!
I'm always open to comments, suggestions and feedback, so don't hesitate to reach out :)
@markleehq how did you build this? Were you able to use the Product Hunt API or some other method?
@markleehq oh wait, I see, you're using the Node Product Hunt API. Nice!
@chrismessina You got it! I have a little daily automation that fetches the featured products using the PH API, and then uses Puppeteer to generate full page screenshots. The only thing is that the upvote counts / ranking are not real-time because I don't wanna hit whatever the API's rate limits are. So I might have to implement some sort of scheduled hourly update. Something to look into over the next couple days!
Thanks for checking out the product Chris! Lemme know if you have any feedback or suggestions :)
@markleehq @chrismessina so happy to see my lib could help people to build their apps 😄
Reminds me of the Product Hunt Chrome extension that @andreasklinger built over a decade ago
@rrhoover I was curious to see how that extension looked like and found this TechCrunch article https://techcrunch.com/2015/03/25/product-hunt-brings-its-popular-new-product-finder-to-your-chrome-browser/ and one of your blog posts https://www.ryanhoover.me/post/the-product-hunt-community-scares-me-in-a-good-way
I love it! @andreasklinger's design still works 11 years later! I guess some designs are truly timeless. What stopped you guys from incorporating it into the official website? Maybe it's time to reconsider it? 🤭
@andreasklinger @rrhoover Wait, am I the only one still using this? My first thought when I saw this product was, "Isn't this just the chrome new tab extension, but with the extra steps of going to another website?".
Would be interesting to see stats around how many people have this tab installed and are still using it.
Also, @andreasklinger - your new tab extension keep hitting up localhost for the favico
Interesting idea. I find it helpful especially because I do not have to open every single link to find out how the websites look like, what they contain etc. I bookmarked it and saved it into my "Product Hunt products" folder :)
BTW, I think one guy also tried something similar, but the project doesn't seem to work anymore. :D

@busmark_w_nika that could be normal on launches... It looks like they're getting more traffic than anticipated. Error 500 on vercel. They will fix it soon, I am sure.
Loving how VisualPH shows a snapshot of each launch’s UI such a smart way to sift through designs fast btw is there a way to filter or search by layout style (e.g. hero-heavy, product screenshots, video previews) so we can find exactly the type of inspiration we’re looking for?
Not right now, but that's a great idea! I could possibly run the screenshots through Gemini 2.5 Flash (they've got a decent free tier) and get it to categorize them based on the "layout styles" you mentioned. That sounds like a pretty fun experiment, thanks @pulkitgarg 🤩
looks like a fun and unique way to browse PH
the landing page scroll within the card, man that's really awesome.
congrats on the launch @markleehq !
Thanks for the kind words @theanimeshs!
@grace_wairimu043 Thanks for checking it out! I spent a ton of time figuring out how to display all the info of each product in an easily digestible layout. Glad you found it easy to explore!
