I sometimes cannot see "View counter" on the post – is it intended A/B testing of the option?


In general, I would like to know how people see this feature, whether it encourages them or not. I remember how X applied post views and people used to talk about how they were discouraged by low numbers of views.


Maybe this is also the question for the public of how they perceive view counters. :)

This is great — and can you add support for OpenSearch or a query param so I can search the forums from a Raycast quicklink? :)

@chrismessinaMaybe also considered adding an MCP (Model Context Protocol) layer to Product Hunt? It could unlock exciting possibilities for running agents on Product Hunt data. For example:

  • "Show me 10 alternatives to X that are popular on Product Hunt."

  • "Identify 10 users interested in XYZ."

Just a late Friday night idea 😸

@sentry_co man, that'd be great — but I'd love it more if they restored their API, which no longer works!

@chrismessina Gotto break some eggs to make an omelette ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (I tried to build some things ontop of the PH API a while back, but had to give up, so def an area that has a lot of potential to improve)

Love the recent comments feed! I was wondering if there's an RSS feed for the forum.


By the way, is it just me, or is anyone else experiencing repeated notifications that are marked as read?

I love the recent changes.
