Don't use the term "hunt" in the name, to me it just screams "dupe" instead of something unique. Go the route of improving what PH has and adding things that are missing.
Some ideas:
- Users should be able to update their post to some extent.
- There's no "product page" in your app, build something where I can see people commenting, reacting, and maybe even sharing their own screenshots of it because that's something PH does pretty well but can be improved.
- "LAUNCHES WORTH YOUR SCROLL" sounds kinda cringe, change to something like "Find the next best thing" or make it random on load and have a few less in your face versions of it. Reddit has "homepage of the internet" which seems appropriate. You can have "have you launched yet?", "find the next best thing", "what's trending today"...etc
I have more ideas, feel free to message me or drop a way to contact you if you'd like more feedback :)
At least in American English “next to best” would mean second whereas “next best thing” means something likely to be the best thing in the near future and it’s a very common idiom.
Personal note - I used to be a pretty frequent user of ProductHunt. Some folks I worked with jokingly called me the SaaS King. If you had a problem, I knew of 3 tools to potentially solve it.
The biggest reason why I stopped using ProductHunt was because people opted to submit and upvote low quality "list of X" aggregation services and minor updates, not real products. Hopefully you've thought about how to refine the curation.
Also, agreed with the feedback from muhammadusman about having a product page. Right now, it's just a list of links with synopsis - not enough to intrigue me to explore further.
Hi, I liked the idea.
There are some issues, maybe these are in your todo list, but I want to tell you based on my usage.
1. there is no difference before and after login. (maybe login is unsuccessful)
2. I cannot edit/delete my submitted project.
3. No search for projects.
4. No Dark mode :)
I liked the submission flow, it was nice and simple. The only issue is that at the end of the process I got a page that looked like it was broken, so had to manually navigate to the main page.
When everything is a priority, nothing is a priority. Re: the black visit buttons. Save black for the top 3 featured, and make the rest a milder color. It's cognitively fatiguing to have a giant list of primary buttons.

50% Off, use coupon HUNTILE
I first read it as "Huntile" which is like Product Hunt + quartile. Then I saw it's Huntlie, "HUNT LIE" which has negative connotations. And then I click the site and see the coupon code is "HUNTILE". christ
Unrelated, but I am thinking about how do I get alpha users for an app I am building, and decided to check Product Hunt if they offer any sort of feature to help with that, and I ended up on this page https://www.producthunt.com/questions
Looks like someone is trying to pull a Forbes...
And I guess related to you, please don't do that :)
Joking aside, I really think you need a unique angle and a solid distribution strategy: there are 1,000 PH clones but they don't stick because they're the same as PH, just with less users/traction/eyeballs.

Maybe not, “next best thing,” I don’t know about American English but in British English next best means second best.

i am american and think "next best thing" means second best. maybe "next big thing" would be better but is a bit generic
i guess it's somewhat ambiguous here, but "next-best" would be second-best, while "next best" means "future best"
Hey thank you so much for the feedback. I want to hear more from you.
Can we connect on Twitter/x: @heyarviind?
Congrats!
I tried submitting https://fdeploy.com but the product icon wouldn’t upload. Which file formats are supported?
Glad to see someone working on an alternative!

Product hunt clones should all launch on each other
Login doesn’t work…
How to correct a post?
:-)
How is the name supposed to be pronounced? It looks like the two English words hunt and lie which doesn't sound very nice.
it is pronounced as hunt-lee

Congrats on launching! I just submitted https://www.freeats.com

sorry about that, i am fixing it
No problem, it's better to launch early.

I've added a product (SWIRL) it shows 0% off. :) How can I change that?
have you enabled the discount checkbox?
Anyway let me know the coupon code and percentage off, i can add it manually ;)
same here, didn't specify a discount either
Added an icon, and still it says:
> Product icon is required
Having the same issue here! Cheers on launching
Why?
ProductHunt has been gamed to the extent that it's no longer in any way real - it's just who can spam the most.
What will stop your site from the same fate?
I want to take an approach of Instagram algorithm, no matter what votes you have you will see all the products once every visit.
Why do you think that's a good idea?
I can't add a product, it asks me to add an icon despite the fact that I already uploaded one.
you can click on next even after it gives an error
Terrible name.
Hunt doesn’t mean anything. Huntly is bad. Huntlie is terrible. Forget about product hunt. Invent a new brand.
Let people submit for free but you choose when they get published. If they want to pick a date charge for that.
0% off, use coupon "undefined"
:)
fixed it, :P

Are you going to launch it on PH?
