Cheers for adding up NimbleAI, I'm excited to see it launch. I’ve had someone else mention the calendar issue too, but I haven’t been able to replicate it on my end, so I’m struggling to pinpoint the exact cause. If it’s not too much t

Thanks so much for the congratulations. Coming up some more sign in methods, I just had setup Twitter as it was the easiest to setup at that time. About your suggestion, hiding votes until users cast their own is a really smart way. I will

Thank you for the kind words and for reporting the bug. I agree that providing a simpler, cleaner alternative is essential, and I'm working hard to make it just that. Regarding the bug, I'm already looking into fixing it to ensure

Thank you! Right now, the focus is entirely on building a fair and vibrant community around the platform. Monetization isn’t a priority at this stage. That said, if the platform grows and requires funding to sustain, I would explore options

Thank you for the kind words and support! You're absolutely right. Launching successfully anywhere requires a mix of everything. My goal with this platform is to level the playing field a bit more for indie makers and small teams who m

Thank you for pointing this out. Will be fixed as soon as possible.

1) If the queue grows significantly, the first-come, first-serve system will still ensure fairness. Makers can plan their launches strategically within a 30-day scheduling window, and I’ll monitor growth closely to adapt if needed. 2) At th

That's a fair concern! However, the idea is to create a balanced system where every product gets its moment to shine without being overshadowed by dozens of others launching on the same day. The first-come, first-serve queue ensures fa

I get your point. The focus should definitely be on the product itself. The reason platform reward engaged users is often to build a supportive community around those products. Active users help promote, review and discuss products, which c

Thank you so much!

Thank you. The key difference I see is in how visibility is handled. On PH, the system tends to favor products that already have strong user base or team that can mobilize a lot of votes quickly, which can sometimes overshadow smaller, inde

I totally understand where you're coming from. The idea behind commenting before submitting a product is to encourage meaningful engagement and help foster a supportive community. However this is something I will definitely reconsider

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You raise some valid points. I'm working to strike a balance between giving visibility to products and avoiding the "popularity contest" vibe, and I'm definitely open to refining how tha

Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. Product Hunt is a great platform I. Many ways, BUT there is always room for new approaches that put the spotlight back on the community itself. I love the idea of exploring ways to mak

Hey, that's awesome. Thank you for launching on the site and kind words. 1) The category issue is probably because it's counting upcoming launches as well. I will take a look at it and fix that right up. 2) Thanks for catching tha

Great question. Right now, it's first come, first served, and makers can schedule their launches up to 30 days in advance. I don't plan to introduce any paid options to skip the line, it's important to me that it stays fair f
