What has changed on PH in a year?

7
Hey PH friends, I need some help and advice. It’s been a year since we launched our product on PH, and I was wondering if there’s anything new I should be aware of as we prepare for our next launch. Have there been any changes to the process, workflow, new features, rules, or tips—basically anything that could help make our launch as successful as possible? I’d love to hear about your latest experiences in this thread. Thanks! Chad

AI is everywhere though some of them are not ai driven products.

I see a lack of real engagements

Bloks stands out as a valuable tool for enhancing preparation, organization, and follow-ups in professional relationships.

Because of a lot of bots, some people received a verification badge to be more "trustworthy". The section All / Featured is slightly customised – if you want to be featured your solution should be somehow unique from previous launches. Many changes were in the UX/UI design.

Yeah, PH has been focusing more on surfacing unique products rather than just popular rehashes. Gotta have a novel twist to get that coveted featured spot nowadays! The UI tweaks have been pretty slick too. 👌

Honestly, I find them restricting and disengaging - whenever I am trying to engage, they restrain me, which is honestly discouraging.

Hi Chad,

Preparing for your upcoming Product Hunt launch is exciting! Over the past year, there have been several updates and strategies to consider for a successful launch:

  1. Use the "Coming Soon" Page – Build anticipation by setting up a teaser page before launch.

  2. Engage with the PH Community – Be active, support other makers, and build relationships.

  3. Optimize Your Launch Page – High-quality visuals, clear descriptions, and a compelling maker’s comment are crucial.

  4. Leverage Early Supporters – Get your community involved to drive engagement on launch day.

  5. Stay Updated on PH Changes – Check for new rules, feature updates, and best practices to stay compliant.

Wishing you a great launch! 🚀
