As someone who’s been exploring Product Hunt for years, my upvotes are more than just clicks🔼 they’re nods of appreciation for meaningful innovation.
So here's what grabs my attention in product :)
1️⃣ A Unique Edge: I look for products that approach a problem differently, offering something fresh and unexpected.
2️⃣ Real Use Case: If I can immediately think, “I need this,” or it fills a gap I’ve noticed, that’s a strong contender.
3️⃣ Quality Presentation: A well-thought-out landing page or demo makes a big impression. It's like the product is speaking directly to me.
4️⃣ Active & Passionate Makers: When makers are engaging in the comments and sharing their story, it shows they truly care about their product and the community.
5️⃣ Execution Over Hype: Some products promise the moon, but I value those that deliver practical, polished, and reliable solutions.
Um, how you decide to upvote?🤔

Hey Hamza – and what is the very first thing that catches your attention? Is it logo? Tagline, The name of the product?

Good question! ✨ I may upvote a product if...
*The idea is unique or thought-provoking in some way
*It solves an immediate problem I have and I can't wait to use it
*The marketing/branding/UI is great, even if I'm not the target audience
*It seems underrated relative to other products launching at the same time

Absolutely agree! This is the same starting point as our products. We always care about whether the needs of users are well solved. Always care about user feedback, whether good or bad, they help us become better.
So, what do you think of our product? Does it deserve your upvote?😉

I would upvote a product on Product Hunt if it offers clear value, solves a real problem, has an innovative approach, and features a great user experience. Positive reviews and a strong community presence also influence my decision.
For me, it's all about solving a real problem. If a product is offering a simple solution to a pain point I've experienced, I'm more likely to upvote it.
I upvote products when they present a new and clever way of tackling a familiar problem. Innovation and uniqueness always catch my eye.
Presenting matters a lot. If the product looks polished and the makers take the time to explain it well, I'm more inclined to upvote. Clear communication goes a long way.
