Anytime I mention the Product Hunt to my friends β they stare at me like a goat at parsley. π
(The same applies when I try to explain to my family that I am a marketer.)
What's the best way to introduce PH?

PH is a friendly startup community, where you can introduce your product, find and give support and motivation. All of these are packed in a nice interface (don't you worry kid, it's better than reddit))

I totally get it π₯²
Especially for those in non-tech roles, it can be tricky to explain.
I tell them: Product Hunt is like elections, except for the politics π. Companies list their products, and supporters vote. It's like a daily competition to find the next big thing.
@suchalbojamma This is neat :D Like that politics parallel (without politics). π
I will try to use it next time.
@suchalbojamma Guys, How can I give this comment a badge? :D I need there this feature :D
@busmark_w_nika or maybe you could help us get the top product badge instead π π

@suchalbojamma I am tuned in. Why pyjamas btw? :D naming.
@suchalbojamma Me likes! This is a creative & clear way to explain the platfrom. Stealing it!
Platfrom where new cool products meet the world β¨
Launching soon!
A platform where new and exciting products are introduced to the world, competing for better visibility to attract traffic and boost sales.
@umar_saleem This is the fact. I am informed about the latest technology sooner from this platform than from media and news :D even with AI β that was the case. I revealed the technology on PH and then in media :D
Launching soon!
@busmark_w_nika This is something i love about PH Every time someone asks why I keep coming back, I totally blank on the perfect answer. πππ
Launching soon!
You can say, Product Hunt is a platform where new-age technology products are listed and people hangout there to talk about those products, new technologies, strategies, and everything in between.
(Secretly, I don't like the fact that people can't chat here. But, okay, it's working for most.)
@vertikanigam I think that chatting is disabled because of a herd of people asking for upvotes :D but comment section is fine to have a public convo :)
Launching soon!
@busmark_w_nika Oh, okay. Comment section is great, love the genuine interaction here. (Let's ignore the AI comments)
@busmark_w_nika Kickstarter for AI tools is for some people who are familiar with Kickstarter.
For other ones -
Product Hunt is a marketplace for new software. (For older family members)
Launching soon!
Itβs like a university community/club for new tech nerds but digital
It's an addictive website where people can launch their products, and you can start a discussion of whatevere you want. Special focus on addictive.
In my opinion, the best way to describe it is when you try it.
Startup community where you can innovate and launch products.
I explain it as Reddit for new product launches! Mostly works!
@my3_murthy Could work. But I need to customize it a bit. In my country Reddit is not so used by people :D
Launching soon!
I would probably say that it is a platform where users discover, share, and discuss new tech products and startups.
where the techies comes out to play
I would say PH is Playstore (Android) or App store (Apple) of software developers. π
I would describe Product Hunt as a community where you can discover and share latest tech products and innovations. It's like a launchpad for new ideas where makers and enthusiasts come together.
A community of founders and marketers where the only option for everything you is is "UP" - no negativity, just positive human reinforcement of your ideas and great feedback :)
@shownotes I like the idea of uplifting each other. That's why I like this platform. No shaming, just uplifting :)
@busmark_w_nika
I have shifted 90%of my networking efforts to PH.
I used to hang out on X. Here is how I would summarize the popular social media:
IG - Look at me!
FB - Here is what I ate for lunch!
X - They are going to kill us all!
LI - "Hello Kabir, I noticed you haven't changed your CEO job for 22 years. We have got a new position for you as VP of Engineering at Teenager.IO."
PH - Hey, what are you going to work on this weekend?
@shownotes I think that for my country it is almost the same but the order is like:
IG: Here is what I ate for lunch!
FB: Conspiracy theories
X: What is this? I do not know this platform
LI: Hey, jump to a quick call.
PH: What is thisΒ² β so I have chosen this one because there is my sort of people :D with mindset I prefer.
Product Hunt (PH) is a vibrant online community and platform that serves as a discovery hub for innovative products, apps, and startups. It's like a treasure trove where users can find the latest tech gadgets, tools, and services curated by a community of enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and industry experts.
This is so relatableπ
For friends i just say: This is insta for developers. Instead of your pics you post your products and get likes and comments.
To my parents: I just say this is just work
"A goat at parsley" - there's a new phrase π
I think of PH as a community of people who love building and trying new products / tools. It is a place to share and learn - with the best there is in tech!
@jade_grimwood I remember my friend using this phrase when he was speaking about Math classes at secondary school. It was so accurate because many of us didn't have a clue what happened on that blackboard. :DDDD
Regarding explanation PH β you are right. I wouldn't describe it better.
