I review hundreds of products daily and try to demo as many as I can - what do you want to learn?
I'm a product nerd. I love demoing and testing out products and am blessed that I can do this as part of my work here at Product Hunt but I sometimes forget to share my thoughts and impressions from testing products with the community....and I want to change that!
What would you like to see if I were to start sharing some reviews, product comparisons, and first impressions of Products that are launched or discovered? What aren't you currently seeing in reviews!
Throw any ideas, ask me anything, this is ultimately for you all!

Hey Gabe, appreciate you checking out RetroTerminal during launch, that meant a lot.
If you ever get the time, I’d genuinely love your unfiltered take on it. Not just the good, I’m more interested in what feels off, what doesn’t land, or what’s holding it back from being great.
I’m too close to it to see the cracks, and I know you’ve seen hundreds of launches. Would really value your perspective.
Most users get engaged with the tool, even if the UI/UX is EXCELLENT and all of them understand it.

How much time does it take you to probe products for the launch day?

I'd love to hear what you think the most common elements are for products that don't immediately click. I know I've tried a bunch that seemed uninteresting or even kind of bad at first, but ended up being really solid once I finally got it.
And on the other side, what are some things that almost always work when it comes to getting you excited about a product?
Do you follow a check list i.e. the key aspects on which you evaluate i.e. your framework? -- would be great to see that and accordingly comment further.
But following for sure:
1) Value for users -- score from your perspective
2) Uniqueness
3) UX
4) User adoption
5) Implementation timeframe /Installation requirements
6) Pricing

I would love to see you review onboarding flows and possibly even keeping a count of aha moments during your tests/reviews. Over the past year most platforms have shifted from doing really good onboarding to having open ended prompt box UI or moved from guide based onboarding to a self exploratory approach.
