Hi, alediaferia. First off, I understand this might be frustrating. Over the past several months, traffic and activity has increased significantly. We're receiving well over 200 submissions every day and while some of these products end up on the homepage (posted or promoted by curators/moderators), the current design won't accommodate several hundreds of posts. That said, we're exploring changes with respect to submissions, to scale the community. It may be a while before we introduce significant changes here as this is a significant change, but please know that we're working on making Product Hunt more transparent and inclusive. |

if you don't click on the main link of a listing, just right, you end up opening the side menu;
in order to post a comment you have to subscribe to twitter... no thanks; if you really want to grow your user community, be more respectful to their needs/wants and idiosyncracies. we're living in a post edward snowden world and some of us just aren't comfortable with chauffeured access anymore, no matter how convenient it is;
you have to wade through a lot of half-baked apps before you get to real products -- so a better way to filter and curate the listings to get bona fide products and services would be helpful;
and get rid of the date-based segments. i have yet to figure out what purpose that serves because it seems like listings are being added after-the-fact. i find that even though i visit the site on a daily basis, the next time i visit, i am constantly having to go back and look at the previous one or two days to see what has been added. whereas if your site was more like hacker news, with lots of churn going on, at least there is no way to really know what you might have missed. so you are less dissatisfied. i know i probably miss some of the best stuff showing up on hacker news but i have no way of knowing, so it feels less burdensome. with the way your site is set up, i always have the perception -- right or wrong -- that i missed something so i need to go back and pick up where i left off.
