Founded in 2013 as a tiny side project, Product Hunt has become the place for makers and companies to launch their latest app, gadget, or physical products to the world. It's a global community of friendly folks sharing and discussing the latest in tech.

This is the 119th launch from Product Hunt. View more

Product Forums (p/)

community subreddits for every product

The Product Hunt community is the most curious, helpful, and supportive tech community on the internet. Now the conversation can continue after launch in dedicated sub-forums for every product (e.g. producthunt.com/p/windsurf).

Maker

📌

When makers launch on Product Hunt, they rally a community for a single day of support, discussions, and feedback. But on Day 2, there isn't a way to continue that engagement until they launch again. Now every product gets its own forum - e.g. p/cursor - and the discussions can continue. It's a way for product geeks to talk about their favorite products, and for makers to get feedback and post updates. (and yes, we've used a p/ construction as a nod to Reddit) Product Hunt is a natural place to talk about products - you can @mention products, see their product hubs, and when people respond, you can see what they've built in their byline. Let us know what you think!

@mention @rajiv_ayyangar Love this update! How do you plan to keep these discussions active and engaging after the initial launch buzz fades?

@mention @cheyenne_edwards1 I'm open to suggestions! What do you think we should do as a community to build some buzz? We have a series of AMAs planned for the next couple weeks, which I'm very much looking forward to! The first one's coming up today - featuring serial founder @amir_ashkenazi from @Airtop - #1 yesterday!

@rajiv_ayyangar Congrats to Rajiv and the PH team! This is such an exciting and impactful update to Product Hunt! :) Many makers tend to leave the platform after their launch, but forums can give them a reason to stick around, engage with their supporters, users, and customers. Here are a few suggestions that could make forums even better: 1. Assign Moderators or Product Leaders: Each product forum could have assigned moderators or product leaders (either the makers or power users) to keep things active and engaging. 2. Search Functionality: Adding a search bar to forums would allow users to search threads using keywords, making it easier to find relevant discussions. 3. Highlight the Option to Start a Thread: On a product's page, it’s not immediately clear that users can post in that specific forum unless they click “Start New Thread” on the left sidebar. Moving this option below the product banner might make it more prominent. The buttons could then be: Visit Product, Follow, and Start a Thread. 4. Sort Options for Product Forums: By default, the displayed forums could be sorted with options like latest threads, most discussions, or most followed. 5. Better Thread Distinction: On topic forums, the design can feel a bit cluttered. Right now, thread titles and previews blend together unless you hover over them. Adding a simple line or divider between posts (like Reddit) could make it easier to scan. 6. Rich Text Formatting: Enabling rich text formatting for threads would be an awesome addition, making posts more engaging and visually appealing. 7. Notifications: If someone is following a product will they receive in-app or email notification for all the threads created under the product forum? 8. Currently we can only bookmark product launch posts, maybe adding threads and comment bookmarks would be useful too. Loving this update—can’t wait to dive into the forums and connect with others! :)

@rohanrecommends all good suggestions and either things we're building or things we're actively thinking about. Thanks, Rohan!

@rajiv_ayyangar @rohanrecommends I strongly agreed with assigning the team members as moderators would be a great opportunity to use these forum pages as semi-official community platform for products. I don't wanted to upvote this idea without my words. 👍🏻

If you are a maker and have a wishlist for product forums, let us know in this thread. This is just the beginning of forums, and we would love to know what direction you want forums to go.

@mikekerzhner I'd really like to see a better search tool. I often bookmark the products I find most useful but there are times I remember a launch that could help a fellow business owner and have to sift through the broken search to try to find it. I love the changes being made here on other fronts.

@terrence_kelleman thanks for the feedback! Mind sharing a few searches queries that don't work well?

Mentionitis: No more (unnecessary) tabs

@mikekerzhner Just one item on my forums wishlist for now. Dialed in moderation controls. - Mods should control who can post in each forum based on account lifespan, account verification, streak, points(?) etc. The more controls the better, maketers tend to ruin everything. And oh, if anyone from the dev. team is reading. @ mentions in notifications on mobile are broken. anchor tags are displayed inline with text.

@izakotim solid feedback! The dev team is 100% listening. Mobile issue noted. For mod controls: something that you would want to moderate as the forum owner? Or something that product hunt should do internally?

Mentionitis: No more (unnecessary) tabs

yes, preferably controlled by the forum owner, but most should be default ON upon forum creation. Catering to forum owners who aren't aware of the controls just yet. Same logic could be extended to regular launches and comments sitewide. You'd get a massive dip in engagement initially but it would be a long-term win. [can't seem to reply to you and tag you now, someone's cooking in production 😂😂]

I'm very stoked for this. I've often struggled to find a place to talk about the latest launches. Reddit is hit or miss, Twitter (X) is hard to keep track of, and my iMessage threads doesn't need stranger numbers...and don't get me started on Telegram. So when @rajiv_ayyangar shared his vision for Threads along with the team - I was IN. We now have a place where products can have their own moderated community, tech enthusiasts have a dedicated place to connect with other product nerds, and makers can reach out to get help. Stoked! Stay tuned for our first AMA later today!

How far in advance do you prepare your launch on Product Hunt?

Sometimes I wish I had a clear answer to this question, but... I don't :D

A lot of people ask me in DMs what to do and when the best time to start.

Introducing Ambassadors: For Makers, By Makers

When I first launched on Product Hunt, I had no idea what to expect. I wasn t sure anyone would notice our little startup, and honestly, I felt intimidated. Everyone seemed so established, and I didn t know where I fit in.

But then something incredible happened. A kind comment from @aaronoleary. Encouragement from the PH community. Support from the Product Hunt team when we ran into issues. A hunt from @benln. A thoughtful reply from @rajiv_ayyangar himself.

That first launch became Product of the Day.
We were later nominated for Product of the Year.
In 2023, I was named Community Member of the Year.
And now in 2025, I ve been invited to serve as a Product Hunt Ambassador!
