Congratulations on getting this out there. My favorite hacker news posts are always Show HN so this is really cool. I love seeing what other people are working on and having a single place to find new tools could prove really useful.
That being said, in my opinion, product discovery doesn't seem well suited to the hacker news format. A new product's relevance lasts a lot longer than the average new news article does. I'd love to see tags added to each product and a way to browse by tags. Boring and probably done, I suppose, but I think it'd be more useful.
- rrhoover 13y agoThanks! Hacker News and "Show HN" is responsible for some of the market validation and product design of Product Hunt. While we want to keep the product simple and useful, we do see value in adding more context and "searchability" with tagging. It's definitely on our radar.
- dageshi 13y agoThe ability for people with certain domain knowledge or active interests to subscribe to tags, or customise their front page based on tags would be pretty nice. Example, I'm interested in travel related ideas/products, but I've really no great interest in much of the stuff on the front page at the moment. But if something travel related does hit the site I don't want to miss it. This might also allow for higher quality of comments, less eyeballs but more interested eyeballs so to speak.
