Launched on March 21st, 2024
We've made a number of changes and improvements since first launching Product Forums. We'll get in a more regular ~bi-weekly cadence of updates going forward, but for now here are updates over the last few weeks.
Notifications
We've made a number of improvements on mobile push notifications and email notifications, and there's activity in a form that's relevant to you. Notably, you'll get a daily digest of new threads in forums of products you follow. We've also made the notifications controls more granular. You can adjust your notifications as well as which products you follow in Profile > Settings.
Here's an example email.
Let us know how notifications are working for you!
Videos in posts
Product forms now support photos (drag and drop the file) and videos (Loom, YouTube + Shorts).
Check out @Wispr Flow 's changelog for an example:
Better comment nesting
On browser and mobile web comments can now be nested three levels deep. At the 3rd level, you can still reply to a comment, but the reply will appear as an @mention. We hope this will lead to more natural, multi-threaded conversations. Here's an example:
Collapsing long comments
Very long comments will be collapsed and they can be easily expanded.
We'd love to hear what you think about these changes!
Hey PH community! 👋
I'm a newbie @mattt_lim (about a month old) and it feels like Product Hunt is playing hard to get with me 😅
Here's what I'm experiencing:
My posts only appear publicly about 12 hours after I write them
My comments show up days later
Today I got a notification for a comment someone left on my post 5 days ago! Each piece of feedback is precious, and I felt bad not being able to respond immediately
Questions:
Why is there such a time delay? Is there some kind of moderation happening?
Is this only happening to newbie accounts? (The user who commented 5 days ago was also new)
Could there be something wrong with my settings?
If none of the above, what might be causing this?
Like everyone else, I'd love to communicate in real-time with the community.
Any help would be appreciated! (I'm guessing this post won't show up until tomorrow either... 🙃)
