Are you a Maker or a Hunter?

Question

Just a curious observation - most discussions are started and commented on by Makers only. Hunters, if you are reading this, please leave your comment even if it’s just HEY I'm a Hunter!

You can be both Maker and Hunter.
I'm the maker for 1 product and I hunted 5 other products.

The word Hunter has lost a bit of relevance of late. There are a lot of examples where makers succeeded by hunting themselves. We are making and hunting Findz in a few weeks. It's a collaborative bookmarking tool to collect links, files and more with friends and family. Here's the link the our Ship page: www.producthunt.com/upcoming/findz

I'm a maker and an aspiring hunter!

Inna Proshkina · Answer

@pritam_nanda92 that was my point - Hunters are hunting themselves, which makes them Makers. Are there real users looking to try out new products?

Inna Proshkina · Answer

@price2spy Are you launching any time soon?

Paul Korver · Answer

I'm a maker building ItList

Mayank Bishwas · Answer

Have hunted a few. Have been part of one Maker's team (TollGuru Toll Intelligence Platform). No doubt it was more exciting (obviously).

I am a maker, while simultaneously hunting my own product:

In the Product Hunt instructions, they advise Hunting your own product:

Of course, I guess this depends based on the specifics of your product, but it looks like the "top hunters" lost some of their previous glory :)

So, you are as good as going by yourself. At least, I hope so.

Hi Inna
I just launched our product this week and created my first ProductHunt profile.
I guess this makes me a Maker for now 😁.

I also feel like I'm a little of both 😊 I've been part of some projects as a maker, but I'm also a hunter and have discovered a lot of cool projects here on PH. Don't necessarily feel like I'm a very "influential" hunter, but I'm definitely hunting haha

Currently a Maker - but hopefully becoming a Hunter over time!
