I've been a Product Hunt user from their initial HN launch and am still a big fan. They've made a very important impact in the tech scene. Open Hunt is an honest attempt at a community run alternative, tailored to giving / getting feedback, and finding very early stage stuff.

Would love your feedback!

I'd personally like to see other account options than Twitter (specifically email-based accounts).

I like the idea. why comments are not public?

2 reasons initially:

- prevent too much spam, moderation workload

- encourage honest (harsh) feedback that the product owner can take action on.

also if the same feedback comes in twice from 2 diff people, thats a great indicator. public comments do not allow that (since most people wont duplicate a comment if they already see someone else saying it)

Did Ryan Hoover ever respond to all the negative sentiment about PH?

It should have paid as well as organic otherwise there's no business model and it's just a small rebellion that might be abandoned for lack of income.

Thanks for the feedback. Can you elaborate?

We'd like to build something sustainable, and to start that just means building the community. Monetization concerns would be an open question that I think the community could decide on later.

Would love to learn more about what you have in mind.
