Which topics discussed on Product Hunt spark your attention the most?
Do you notice which topics discussed on this platform make you think, and you like to contribute your 2 cents?
I don't mean that you generate an AI answer for the topic, but that you enjoy discussing the topic like a real person.
– For me personally, these are topics where someone asks for advice.
– Of course, I like contributing my own experience in marketing.
– I participate less often in product topics because I don't always have experience with a particular product. This does not apply to giving feedback (e.g. feedback is a request for help, and it is assumed that you are going to try the product).
I would like to find out which topics you like to talk about the most, so that in the future we can also focus on categories where you are more involved. 🙂

Nika, that's a fantastic question!
I love reading those “behind the scenes” posts 🛠️:
Something like “How we got our first 100 users (the real, unglamorous version).”
Or “We screwed up our A/B testing and learned our lesson the hard way.”
I like these because they are very actionable and learnable.：）
@partick_support Good point – TBH, I love these too but I am less active under those because I more "consume" than participate (the exception is when I want to add some good tip to make the post even better and insightful) :)
I’m usually drawn to topics where someone’s asking for honest feedback or advice, those feel the most human and fun to join. I enjoy talking about launch strategies, growth experiments, and solo founder mindset stuff. Also, where I can share my experiences too :)
@hamza_afzal_butt TBH, I haven't seen so much convo from solo founders here. 🥲
@busmark_w_nika in dm conversations (a topic too:)
I have a preference for finding new inspiration to develop a new product.
People are discussing real dilemmas they've encountered and looking for a solution. I think this is where the next breakout product will come from!

Great question! I find myself most drawn to posts where people are sharing real challenges—whether it's about marketing, launching something new, or growing their audience. I love swapping ideas and offering advice from my own journey. Also really enjoy giving feedback on early-stage products—it feels collaborative and helpful :)

And I’m always willing to try new products that can genuinely solve problems!
@qiwap Which categories of products are your favourite? Maybe I could send makers to you :D
FastMoss
@busmark_w_nika SEO tools, AI related products etc.
@qiwap I had an article about AI SEO btw in my newsletter. 👀 Maybe that one would be interesting for you! 🙏

Personally I value the most topics around launching as a whole. And timing. Like what to post on X, Reddit, other communities and when to post it. For example on the launch day etc.
So I personally value tactics the most. Anything around tactics.
@heypaus I think that in the future, I can cover some of these. Indeed, I specifically create some topics dedicated to the Product Hunt and successful acquiring it :)

@busmark_w_nika Thank you, that would be soo awesome :)
Hi Nika, I understand your question, however I would answer it in a different way.
It's not about any specific topic but more about the way you creatively create the thread ;) especially if it could lead to divergent and controversial opinions! :D
Have a wonderful week 🌞😎
@terabitcoins Thank you, Tera! :D
Yes, controversial (and even drama would spark more attention) – I am just calmer around those things Hahaha.
Have a great week likewise! :)
I’m usually up for jumping into anything where I can be helpful, especially if it’s in my area or someone’s looking for honest feedback.
That tends to be around growth, first-time user experience and onboarding, or the messy shift from self-serve SaaS to technical enterprise sales and partnerships.
A bit of a mix between product, GTM, and a technical background. If someone’s building and asking real questions, I’m happy to add my 2 cents.
@adam_martelletti It seems that discussions are here more about business + marketing and launching products more for devs :D
@busmark_w_nika 100%! And fair point, that line about the ‘messy shift’ probably made it sound like I’m deep in enterprise land 😅
I’ve mostly been on the small startup side, just called out those topics because they’ve been my most recent (and soul-destroying) roles haha.
@adam_martelletti Hopefully, these convos are not so DEVastating lol :D
@busmark_w_nika Haha not at all.
I really enjoy anything where founders / teams are more human and tell stories of what they're working on, their experiences on this journey, and any BTS stuff.
@martin_rue True, I am searching for something "new" that is not replicated on the internet 1345 times.
Howdy
I am attracted to conversations where someone’s sharing hard-earned lessons around building products. Especially ones having a deeper WHY behind what they create. The product itself is interesting, but I get more excited when someone talks about the mission, the pain that sparked the idea, or the impact they hope it makes. That’s when I want to jump in and support however I can 😍
@ngorgiashvili Thanks for sharing. :)
Founders and product makers looking for advice. That's where I can help the most.
@thebigk I am noticing you, and I am pretty sure other users of this platform, too. So far, you have contributed many interesting thoughts. I appreciate that! :)
@busmark_w_nika Thank you, Nika. Just trying to give back to the community that helped me. I see founders make the same mistakes I did; and I try to be helpful.
@thebigk Greatful for that! :)

Nika! I am most drawn to discussions around marketing, productivity hacks, and startup growth, especially when someone’s asking for advice or sharing a challenge they are facing. I enjoy sharing personal experiences or learning from others. Product feedback is also fun when the tool solves a real problem I relate to.
Looking forward to more of those engaging threads! 😊
@abod_rehman Thank you for sharing. I will try my best to be around such topics :D
1) Topics where I can contribute from my experience and help
2) Topics where I can learn from others' experiences
AI tech, marketing and tools are the interest areas from both perspectives.
@manu_goel2 It seems that lessons learned and those for asking for advice are the most trending.
AI, business, GTM. :)
Topics around support for others, giving honest feedback, producthunt launch experience, lessons and wins, AI, Marketing, Computer Science.
Any other topic that resonate with me Nika
@martina_chioma_ngwuta PH experiences are the most on demand on this platform. Maybe I should give more space to that one :D
I usually jump into threads where people are navigating messy middle-stage dilemmas things like:
‘When do I raise prices?’ or
‘How do I prioritize conflicting user feedback as I scale?’
I find early-stage launch hype fun, but I get more value (and joy) from contributing to convos where lived experience matters especially those that go beyond metrics and talk about trade-offs, doubt, and the grey zones no one writes blog posts about.
@priyanka_gosai1 Is there any topic you would like to jump into next? Something I should dedicate time to?
Pokecut
I like to discuss something on dailly OOTD, music, dancing~
@yuki25 These topics could be somehow related to tech. Personally, I would discuss these during the weekend. It's more relaxed here during the weekend.
@drconnorrobertson1 I dunno, Musk is still experimenting with him, but some attempts are quite... racist. 🙈
I really enjoy conversations around gaming advice, especially when it comes to challenge strategies and gameplay tips. I tend to jump in most when someone’s asking for help with something like a tricky BitLife challenge or looking for tips on mobile game progression.
Since I spend a lot of time writing about these kinds of topics—BitLife in particular—it’s always fun to share what I’ve picked up along the way. I even cover some of these challenges and mods over on my site,BitLifeAppsPro.com, so naturally, those discussions catch my attention the most. I'm a bit less active in product-related threads unless it's feedback or support-based.
