Good idea but most of the product launches (especially) the non featured ones don't have a demo video for their product launch so I dont think many people will create videos on PH.
Would it be a good idea for Product Hunt to have a 'TikTok' feature?

I would post a tweet or a message in the Build in Public or Product Hunt community to see if anyone is interested in buying the domain. If no one shows interest, Iβd let it go which isnβt an easy thing to do.How many domains do you currently own?
If your product fails, do you usually keep the domain or just let it go?

Customize product recommendations as there are 1000s of products launched daily but I cannot scan most of them so there has to be a better way to explore products which are relevant to my activities on PH.
If you could request one feature from the Product Hunt team β what would it be?

Share your thoughts on "Recent Comments" PH Forum Feature!
Hey everyone!!Today I noticed the new "Recent Comments" feature on the PH Forum, and it's pretty cool.It solves two problems:First, I can easily see which posts are currently active and where people are engaging so as a user I can jump in and participate.Second, it rewards you for staying active on your own posts and replying to people quickly just like on a PH product launch, since your latest...

How do you collect feedback from beta users before your PH launch?
I have launched on PH twice but before launching, I always prefer to share the product with at least 20 potential users over DM. The goal is to get early feedback and testimonials. This helps me understand whatβs working (or not) in the copy, design, offer, value proposition, etc.Based on those early insights, I iterate quickly and it could be small tweaks or full rewrites, depending on what...

Congrats Alex on the launch πFor the early feedback, we created a no-brainer offer (like 70-80%discount) and DM potential users on X to share their feedback. That worked all the time for us.Here is the sample message that we have used for it.Hey Alex πWeβve just launched (product name) for AI startups.It might be a great fit for your (product name).(explain what your product does and how it can...

Nice idea, congrats Nika and team for building a community for not featured products.Small Suggestion: You can allow good services, productized services, Info products, courses, directories, etc. other than SaaS. As PH would never feature those as per their guidelines but if they are good you can give them the chance to promote in the subredddit.P.S. I have joined the community :)
What interesting products have you found in the "not-featured" section?

Here are my 2 cents:Starting with one platform is a good approach (although you can create a brand page on other socials and cross-post the same content over time, but itβs not necessary to focus on that in the beginning).In the beginning, it's more about experimenting, so I wouldn't recommend documenting everything just yet.Posting daily shouldn't be the goal, at least in the beginning....

Instead of offering a traditional service, provide a productized service, where you clearly define the scope of work (X), the timeframe (Y), and the expected results (Z). Charge upfront before starting the work.
