I think you need to make it more clear on how it's different from Product Hunt. BetaList [1] does a good job at it (with the term "beta").

It's also not bad IMO if you represent yourself as a direct PH competitor. I've done plenty of research on successful user acquisition channels [2] and seen a lot of look-alike companies and their only difference was they were successful at utilizing different acquisition channels. Maybe your main distinguishing point will be the acquisition channels you use, rather than your unique-value proposition.

At this point, I'm not entirely convinced your value prop. is compelling enough. Good luck with it, though!

I’m curious why you don’t include the user acquisition report on the email you send out. As it stands I need to enter my email, check my email, click a link to a page that consists of a link to download the pdf. Im not being snarky, I’m honestly curious if there was a reason for setting up that way.
Oh, it's something I update very often and want to send emails/ask for feedback when I do. There's an article version of the top 15 acquisition channels available here though: https://entrepreneurshandbook.co/top-15-acquisition-channels...
