How do you decide which products to support on PH?

@sentry_co You have spidey senses :)

André J @sentry_co

@jgani Depends on my mood. I try to roast from an objective POV 😬

Deciding which products to support on Product Hunt boils down to innovation and community impact. I look for solutions that not only solve real-world problems but also inspire and engage the PH community.

Aravind Parameswaran @imaravind

I look for interesting products specially in AI (duh!) - good thing is that at the beginning of the day PH doesn't show vote counts & bias you.

@imaravind Yeah I like that part. But there are so many products to go through, though. How do you handle that?

Aravind Parameswaran @imaravind

@jgani That's true! There's just so many of them.. I try to skim through the long list and go deeper on the ones where the "Problem" that they are solving resonates with me. How about you? Do you have an interesting approach?

Daniel Pirciu @daniel_pirciu

I usually support two types of products: founders I know they build great products, and new products that I haven't used before

@daniel_pirciu Where do you go to find these products? The homepage?

Daniel Pirciu @daniel_pirciu

@jgani I start by looking at the Featured launches and then move to the All tab. I found a great detail of interesting products listed in the All sections and not featured by PH.

IXORD

I myself evaluate the product and vote.

IXORD

@jgani There is a "Launches" button at the top, mainly where I look at new products.

Yogita Gholap @yogita_pg

I do check the homepage; obviously, the featured ones are eye-grabbers. So, just scan the list. If it's useful, upvote it. Secondly, support people who ask for support!

@yogita_pg How far do you can the homepage? Do you go beyond the top 3?

Yogita Gholap @yogita_pg

@jgani I usually scroll through the entire page. I believe there are 17 featured products on launch day, but I check out the top 5 or 6.

Jaypy Build @jaypybuild

I vote for mate who need support for their launch. And I often scroll here and upvote the product I like :)

@jipe You're so kind and generous!

Jaypy Build @jaypybuild

@jgani thanks!

Heyalbert @heyalbert

Based on the concept and idea of the product.

Julia Engelsmann @julia_engelsmann

I take a look at which products I'm interested in at first glance and then read up on them

Unofficial Product Hunt Chrome Plugin

@julia_engelsmann Do you just find them from the homepage?

Michael Shver @michaelshver

I mostly look for something potentially useful, generally interesting, or aligned with my interests. Or I try to support people who ask for support!

Unofficial Product Hunt Chrome Plugin

@michaelshver And we will return the favour when you launch :) When's the big day?

Michael Shver @michaelshver

@jgani May 7 🔥 producthunt.com/products/steerer

Milli Sen @millisen

Primeb.io

I vote for AI products that are useful and beneficial.

Mohammed Kheezar Hayat @zaryat

I always click on 'New' and try to help underrrated posts. Supporting products flows from there.

@zaryat This is awesome. I also try to give my votes to "smaller' players.
