Product Hunt Finally Adds Text Formatting!
For nearly a decade, Product Hunt didn’t offer any built-in text formatting — those who wanted to style their text had to use raw HTML tags.
But that’s changing now! You can finally format text in launch post comments, Maker comments, and forum threads (both posts and comments).

@Crustdata (product tag)
(Poll Options are added below this post)
Have you tried it yet? :)
P.S. If you want to add images, you’ll still need to use the `<img src>` tag.
What do you think of this long-awaited update?
P.P.S. Products that I liked on PH this week:

@rohanrecommends thanks for the tip! Especially on the poll options that could be super useful!
Recap
I'm really fond of this change, and I'm looking forward to supporting MD syntax; it would make things much more elegant, haha.
I really love this change! I’d love to see an image upload feature added. .But if images are allowed, the forum might lose its clean look.
Thank you for the information. I now understand the Poll Options are automatically placed at the bottom of the posts, and I finally know how images are added😂

finally formatting is here, much needed
and thanks for mentioning 2pr.io!
Actually, I would prefer the Poll Options to be placed under the questions, rather than at the bottom of the entire post. What do you think about it? 😂
Finally! This was long overdue. Formatting makes a huge difference, especially for launch posts and discussions. Now we just need inline images and better thread organization to really level up the experience.
By the way, speaking of new things—Helix is launching soon! Would love your thoughts—just visit my profile and click ‘Try Helix for FREE’!
Good, a must-have formatting option.
