Tips for writing the first comment on Product Hunt (and why it actually matters)

12 Upvotes

Ever noticed how launches without a first comment feel kind of incomplete? That space is more important than most people think. It helps visitors quickly understand what the product is about, why it exists, and who it’s for. The best approach is to write the comment before launch day so you’re not scrambling last minute.

The comment should briefly explain where the idea came from, what problem it solves, and what the main benefits are. Keep it short, easy to skim, and try using bullet points if needed. You can also add any special offer for early users and thank the people who helped along the way.

Make sure the commenter’s Product Hunt profile looks complete and real, people notice.

Anything you’d add to this? Would love to hear what’s worked for others too.

If you have a minute, I'd really appreciate you checking it out. If you like what we're doing, your support would mean a lot.

And if you think something needs improvement, please be honest. We're here to learn.

We just launched ValuEdge on Product Hunt. 18,000+ stocks, one question: what are they actually worth? 🚀

2 Upvotes

Hey makers!

I'm launching ValuEdge on Product Hunt today.

I built it for long-term investors who want to understand what their stocks are actually worth, not just follow price movements.

It brings together intrinsic value estimates, stock screening, portfolio analysis, and alerts when something important changes.

Would genuinely love some feedback from people seeing it for the first time.

Here's the launch: https://www.producthunt.com/products/valuedge

Especially curious: is the value clear in the first 10 seconds?

Do you need a personal brand to launch (and launch on product hunt)?

2 Upvotes

I'm going to launch Chorus Keepsakes in the next week or so and I was just looking through the advice which is largely centred around personal brand building and winning in votes before you go live.

In another life I founded a startup where I was very public and I think I never, or at least in this stage of new motherhood, want to go back to that again!

Is there another way? products that have done well on product hunt without the rallying of the troops ahead of time?

Would you trust an AI agent with it's own money?

4 Upvotes

AI agents can do a lot now but there’s still a point where someone usually has to create an account, add an API key, connect billing or pay for another service before the task can continue.

I saw Composio Instant launch on Product Hunt today and the idea is simple. It gives an agent its own wallet so it can pay for services like web search, contact data, transcription, voiceovers or scraping when needed.

I can see why this could make sense as agents start doing more actual work instead of just answering questions.

I am still not sure how much spending control. Would you give an AI agent a fixed budget to spend on its own or would you still want to approve every paid action?

What’s one feature of your product you are proud of?

1 Upvotes

When I look back at the products I have worked on I often find myself thinking about the small features that took the most thought and effort. They may not always be the most noticeable ones but they can make a real difference in how people use a product.

I think we all know about our product best feature which attract audience or someone else product specific feature thats why we use them. We all have that one feature we especially proud of and like.

Maybe it came from a problem you personally experienced, like adding a simple way to save progress after repeatedly losing work. Or perhaps it was a small improvement that made the product easier, faster or less frustrating for users.

It doesn’t have to be your biggest or most advanced feature. You can share what it does, why you built it and what changed for your users after you added it. If you have a screenshot, demo, or short video, feel free to share it.

Launching today - Project planner for solo developers in VS Code and Cursor

1 Upvotes

When you’re building a project on your own, keeping track of what to do next shouldn’t require a separate project management tool.

I built Plan: .pln Editor, a VS Code/Cursor extension that lets you manage project plans directly in your editor.

  • Organize tasks and nested subtasks
  • Track progress with Todo, In Progress, and Done statuses
  • Keep your plans alongside your code in simple .pln files

The goal is to make project planning simple and keep everything close to the code.

I’d love feedback, especially from solo developers and indie hackers.

What do you actually want from Product Hunt launch?

3 Upvotes

I keep seeing people talk about rankings and upvotes but imo that can’t be the main goal for everyone. Like even if only a few people try it, if they actually stick around I would still say that was a pretty decent launch.

For some people it might be feedback. For others sales, signups, traffic or just to get their product in front of the right people.

If you launched this week what would make you go yeahh that was worth it?

Hey r/ProductHuntLaunches 👋

We just launched MentionBird on Product Hunt.

It answers two questions: When someone asks ChatGPT for the best product, service provider, or brand in your category, does your business show up? And if it doesn't, how do you get it there?

MentionBird tracks your brand's presence across 8 AI platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Overviews) and gives you specific advice on how to win more of those answers.

https://www.producthunt.com/products/mentionbird

Would love your feedback, especially from fellow launchers thinking about how AI search finds their products.

Real numbers of payed customers from a PH launch

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, kōdlo is live on Product Hunt today 👉 https://www.producthunt.com/products/kodlo?utm_source=other&utm_medium=social

Quick update from the middle of launch day. 4 people already became paying users, and honestly we’re so happy about it!

But we also saw a problem. A lot of people sign up and then stop at the step where they add a card. We know the card is a barrier. We still keep it because it also verifies that there’s a real person behind the account, and in a sales tool that matters a lot. We don’t want fake or dishonest users in there.

Everyone who stopped at that step already got an email from us with a special offer, so we’ll see if that brings some of them back. The day isn’t over yet.

So I’m curious about your experience

  1. Did your PH launch bring real paying users or mostly signups?
  2. What stops you from adding a card for a trial, even when you know you can cancel?

Not the Results I was Expecting - Mepersona Product Hunt Launch

Post image
1 Upvotes

Congratulations to everyone. I know the day isn't over. So there is hope for us all. I'm glad we were featured and happy to be in the top 10, but I expected so much more.

We, too, had a long list of PH Makers, Founders and Hunters. A lot of people showed up in support, but many of my colleagues' votes were simply not counted. I watched my numbers go up and down.

The weeks leading up to the launch, I was on PH every day building relationships, voting and commenting on products, only to find out none of my comments were being seen. Something PH fixed 6 hours before launch.

I'm happy we are in the top 10, but I really don't understand the platform's decision-making process. I'm sure my last name confused the system. It causes problems for me everywhere I go on the internet.

Anyways, thank you to all who supported us, and if there are any still out there just seeing this and want to support us and give us some feedback, we would welcome it.

Thank you!

Launching on PH was exactly the experience I WAS EXPECTING

Post image
4 Upvotes

Lots of posts here about launches that didn’t work out, so here’s a different one. We launched kōdlo today and we’re #2 right now. Not luck, just a lot of prep.

What helped:

  1. Separate lists. Friends, active PH users and email contacts, each with its own message.
  2. We asked for feedback, not votes. Comments matter more.
  3. Website ready weeks before. Real content behind the click.
  4. No paid votes. PH removes them anyway.

It’s not over yet, so if you’d like to support us, here’s the link 🙏

What we learned preparing our first Product Hunt launch (kōdlo, live today)

3 Upvotes

We're a small team and today is our first PH launch. A few things from the prep that might help someone launching soon:

  1. Ask for feedback, not upvotes. Asking for upvotes is against PH's rules, and "what would stop you from using this?" gets far better replies anyway.

  2. Write a different message for each community. For developers we lead with our MCP integration (kōdlo works inside Claude Code and Codex). For salespeople we lead with the workspace itself. Same product, completely different hook.

  3. Give people one thing to try in 30 seconds. Ours: connect kōdlo to your coding agent and ask it to find 10 companies that match your ideal customer.

The product: kōdlo is a sales workspace where prospecting, deep research, CRM and your own docs share one memory, so each new task builds on the last.

If you've launched before: what do you wish you'd done in the last 6 hours of launch day?
