As a designer I think that's a bit too much, I can't even read comfortably. Thoughts?

Bold titles, bolder discussions! 😄 I think the boldness adds a dash of excitement to the hunt. Keeps things lively and attention-grabbing
@umar_saleem Yea but breaks the hierarchy as everything is now bold and "important" so your attention can't go in the right place..
Get you! Sometimes, bold titles can be a bit overwhelming, especially when it comes to readability. It's all about finding that balance between catching attention and ensuring a comfortable reading experience. Maybe they're experimenting with different styles to see how the community responds. Design preferences can be quite subjective, but clarity is key. What would you suggest to strike the right balance? 🤔
@jessica_ebden I can see they already removed it, right? Well I truly believe bold fonts (700+ font-weight) is definitely not for a list of products in the daily top.. What they did until now is perfect in my opinion!

@jessica_ebden well put

This is pretty helpful feedback! Thanks everyone! As you all guessed, we're experimenting with info hierarchy. My general feeling is that the tagline is way more useful than the logo - would you agree?
I also agree that having the name + tagline be bold can seem a bit too loud...we're thinking about it internally.
@rajiv_ayyangar Hi Rajiv! As a Web&Product Designer I agree titles/names needs to be bolder to stand out, but your platform is mainly made out of titles and names haha, it breaks the visual balance where exactly what you said, looks like everything is screaming at you.
Glad you found my post!
ProductHunt may have increased title boldness for emphasis, readability, or branding. Bold titles could catch attention in a crowded feed, aligning with their goal of highlighting innovative products effectively.
