🔼 What Makes Me Upvote a Product on Product Hunt?

Question

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?

Andrew Ezra · Answer

I upvote products when they present a new and clever way of tackling a familiar problem. Innovation and uniqueness always catch my eye.

Elara Thorn · Answer

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?😉

Robbie Glenn · Answer

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.

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.

BrittanyWhite · Answer

I upvote a product when it really stands out to me. Maybe it solves a problem I have, or it's just super innovative and cool. Good design and a solid pitch help too. If the creator is engaging with the community, that's a plus. Ultimately, it’s about whether the product feels exciting and useful.

I upvote a product when it catches my eye, usually because it solves a problem I have or seems really innovative and cool. Good design and a clear pitch help too. If it looks like the creators put a lot of thought into it or if it’s from a dev I respect, that can sway me. Personal interest is key though – does this excite me?

mary · Answer

I upvote a product when it genuinely solves a problem I have or finds a cool new way to do something. If the demo video is engaging and easy to understand, that helps too. I also look for products that seem polished but still in growth mode - not perfect, but with potential. A relatable founder story can sway me as well.
