Product Hunt
Product Hunt is a product discovery website where makers launch apps, tools, startups, books, games, and other new products while the community votes, comments, reviews, and compares what is gaining attention.
What Product Hunt is
Product Hunt is a website for discovering and launching new products. On ProductHunt.com, makers post apps, AI tools, developer tools, design resources, books, games, and startup projects while users vote, comment, write reviews, and follow what is trending.
Daily discovery
The site is organized around daily rankings. Products launched on the same day compete for attention through upvotes, comments, maker replies, screenshots, demos, and outside promotion, creating a time-boxed launch moment that is easy for readers to scan.
Makers and hunters
A launch usually involves a maker who built the product and may involve a hunter who submits or introduces it to the community. The comments become a lightweight public forum where founders answer questions, explain use cases, and collect early feedback.
What gets launched
Product Hunt has long been associated with software startups, but the catalog is broader than that. It includes productivity apps, AI agents, coding tools, marketing tools, hardware, newsletters, podcasts, templates, games, and experiments from independent builders.
Launch-day culture
For makers, a Product Hunt launch can be a public test of positioning and community reach. A high-ranking launch may bring traffic, signups, investor attention, or social proof, but results vary widely and often depend on preparation, audience fit, and whether the product already has supporters.
AngelList connection
AngelList's 2016 acquisition linked Product Hunt more closely with the startup ecosystem around fundraising, recruiting, and product launches. The site kept its distinct product-discovery identity while serving builders who wanted early users and attention.
Why it matters
Product Hunt helped make product launches more public, social, and measurable. It gives small teams a place to be discovered beside larger companies, and it gives readers a daily snapshot of what builders think is worth trying next.
