    Small, but mighty - we see you šŸ‘€

    50% of the launches on Product Hunt are by independent and bootstrapping makers, many of whom go on to achieve great things. To better amplify the impact of these wildly talented humans, weā€™ve launched two new homepage filters for solo makers and bootstrapped projects. Try them out!

    This new design is just ā€˜for youā€™

    Our mobile app has a new look, supporting a personalized 'for you' feed to give you updates on people you follow and recommendations for products based on your interests. The new layout is much more interactive and helps you stay in the know with what's trending. Here are a few steps you can take to personalize your new feed: - Download the app - Go to the discoveršŸ”Ž tab - Follow 5+ people - Update your interests

    for you

    One size does not fit all

    Based on feedback, we made some changes to our advertising options to support:

    • Running ads without launching: Previously, you had to have launched on Product Hunt to run an ad. Ads are now open to everyone, allowing you to focus on reaching your target audience at the most opportune time for your product, regardless of your desire to launch on Product Hunt.
    • Different campaign types: To enable more options to support your business goals, we created campaign types. Now you can optimize your Product Hunt ads for exposure, clicks, or a balance of both.
    • Custom campaign duration: The ballā€™s in your court now. Select the duration of your campaigns, providing you with greater flexibility in planning and optimizing your ad strategy.

    The Flash vs. our homepage

    Because youā€™re all busy people, we know your time matters. Optimizations made to our homepage make it hard to even blink before the details load when you expand a launch. I dare you to try it.

    Nice updates ā€” the mobile changes are especially big! (IMO) Not that you asked, but I'm guessing that those homepage filters are likely to be undiscovered by most folks... have you considered tabs instead? Or adding them next to the "Trending Topics" area?

    @chrismessina Thanks Chris! Always appreciate your feedback and opinions. We couldn't agree more and the team is already thinking about how to make the filters more discoverable since they have been well-received.

    "we know your time matters" as I sit here browsing product hunt at 7am on a Saturday, I have to admit that I'm not exactly using my time efficiently to be fair

    Great updates, but I don't seem to show up under solo maker, or a.i. Is this a manual setting I need to configure somewhere? Many Thanks

    @mcwebdev this is a recent addition to our launch process. When you are setting up your launch, we ask a few additional questions based upon your selections.
