Please use regular hyperlinks so I can open in a new tab. (The visit button should probably open a new tab by default so users aren't taken away from your site.)

Got it! Thankss

If you care for an opposing opinion, i find this obnoxious. I can easily middle click/modifier+click your links to open in a new tab if i want to and this is way les annoying than going back to previous tab to close it.

I get why you see the need for this product. However, as someone who launched on PH and got featured w/ a team of two and no financial backers, I think the point is that it should not be easy to get featured. PH does a great job of putting filters in place to ensure only the 'best' (whether by polish, value prop, or combo of both) products end up making it to the top. It really forces makers to put their absolute bes…

Not true at all. Top of product hunt features the products that spam people for upvotes the most, or already have the most social media followers.

Nothing to do with polish

This is great! IMO there's always room for more platforms to expose visibility for product launches.

Do you mind sharing a bit about the amount of daily traffic you get? Or plans for growing the platform? It would help people understand if/when it's worth paying to get listed. Thanks!

I think the parent commenter is referring to a general dislike for target="_blank" (i.e. new tab) links. Probably because there's a way to force a link to open in a new tab, but not a consistent way to force it to open in the same tab.

I'm not sure if this is a wonderfully "me" thing, but it's a behavior I see a lot on these types of sites. Long pressing links (for opening in background or such) doesn't seem to work on Safari (iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18.1 dev beta 22B5054e). If it's helpful, I spend immensely more time browsing sites like this where the long pressing action does work. @denizhdzh
