Nice product overall. Not sure anybody pointed out this yet, but you should consider changing spaces for dashes on your slugs, they look better than the coded space (%20) on pages like: https://itslaunched.com/profile/Kazane%20Shimizu
It is good to create direct, fair and healthy competition for the Product Hunt (I am all for diversity). Competition is always good for business. As far as successful launching on Product Hunt and getting feature isn't just for everyone. You have to do marketing, building hype around your product, moderate product idea (it's a minimum to get featured), good copywriting and whatnot. I'm also going to sign up because o…
Also excited to have you on board, and I hope the features make your experience worthwhile. Would love to hear your thoughts once you’ve explored the platform.
Love it. Are you thinking about monetizing it?
Great ! PH has become "too big" and full of spam, it needs alternative :) Bug report : When you post a comment, if you refresh the page it's sending it again and you have duplicates
Awesome, congratulations! A few notes: - Sign up with Twitter? Please consider sign up with Apple, Github and maybe Google. - You should def hide votes until someone has voted or used all their votes for the day to reduce bias.
About your suggestion, hiding votes until users cast their own is a really smart way. I will look at the possibility of implementing something like that.
I like that you show the website stats. For an indie maker, we care about reach a lot. The transparency is important I think.
Site looks fresh. At now there are free slots to publish projects, so I added my as well. Good look!
If you care fairness, I have 1 extra suggestion that you might be interested in. It was proven by several data-science research that when users have to votes (or give ratings) and if they are able to see the previous result, then the first few votes have an extremely important effect. For instance here is one stury, very well written article by a famous teacher Robert West, "of sheep and beer" https://dlab.epfl.ch/20…
This is not a study but a reality for me. At one point on HN I wanted to farm for karma points. That period lasted for a few weeks, I wasn't too intense about it, just a fun question I had. My tactic? Find something that has something like 15 upvotes and you suspect to be rising quick in upvotes. Create the first comment and your best to make an as thoughtful comment as possible, even if you don't know anything about…
I really wish Ryan Hoover would take back the integrity of Product Hunt. It's such an amazing product with such currently painful execution, assumingly in the name of site traffic traded for ad dollars. I truly think that the conversion rate for advertisers on PH would go UP if the quality of the site (moderated posts, comments, bot traffic) did the same.
I'm consistently baffled by the rarity of a product owner improving their bottom line by simply improving their users' experience.
Any activity can be made worse if they find a way to increase users by other means.
Surely this trades being in the spotlight for a few minutes now for being in the spotlight in a year's time when it's your turn in the 10-products-per-day queue?
That's a fair concern! However, the idea is to create a balanced system where every product gets its moment to shine without being overshadowed by dozens of others launching on the same day. The first-come, first-serve queue ensures fairness, and since launches can be scheduled up to 30 days ahead, creators can plan their timing strategically. The goal is quality exposure over a rushed spotlight.
