What is Product Hunt

Product Hunt is a community-driven platform where makers launch innovative products and users discover and discuss them every day.

The platform

Product Hunt is a curation of the best new products, every day. The platform brings together a global community of tech enthusiasts, makers, and early adopters who are passionate about discovering what's new and what's next. Whether you're launching a mobile app, website, hardware project, or other tech creation, Product Hunt provides a space to reach an engaged audience.

The community is built around user interactions. Products that resonate with the audience gain visibility through upvotes, comments, and discussions. This organic engagement is what drives a product's success on the platform.

How it works

Every product submission appears on Product Hunt and can be discovered by the community. The homepage features curated products that align with the platform's guidelines and have strong community engagement. Even if your product isn't featured on the homepage, it remains visible in the "All" feed where community members can still discover, comment on, and upvote it.

Products are organized by category and can be searched by users looking for specific types of tools and solutions. Each product has its own dedicated page with a description, images, links, and a discussion forum where makers and users can interact.
