"Product Hunt definitely is a great place to launch — a place where many developer-first products launched successfully: Supabase, Resend, and Warp, to name a few.

According to similarweb.com, Product Hunt gets 4.8 million unique visitors every month, and according to Ahrefs, it has a 91 domain rating.

Product Hunt helps raise awareness, get feedback, and enable early traction.

Rishabh Kaul, Head of Marketing at Appsmith, who launched in March 2023 and ranked #5 Product of the Day, adds:"

As a founder of an app that is/should be a great fit for producthunt, I feel these reasons are not at all compelling. The days of producthunt's relevance are likely in the past as a flood of shitty ai projects have flooded the feed. I would be curious to know who cares about producthunt anymore.

hey Jacob, Flo here -- i'm the author of this story. thanks for your comment.

you're spot on. most people overthink Product Hunt too much. now, think SEO. from my perspective, when you launch on Product Hunt, your objective shouldn't be the # of upvotes you get or the spot you rank.

keep it simple. launch to get discoverable. repeat to stay accountable and top of mind.
