    What's the vision for future regarding ship feature and product pages? I explain: Product Hunt evolved from a hunter hunting<>maker launching to a place where makers have a nice shiny product pages where you can see launches, jobs, etc. but also ship pages which are like a side project I would say... What's your vision about all that? There's so much potential here to smooth the way it work and build better communities around the makers! 😻

    How does a boosted profile affect product ranking algorithms?

    Hey @stas_voronov - what do you mean by boosted profile? Like some popular figure?
    Stas Voronov
    Hey @adityavsc, I mean is it a big difference if you publish a product from the almost new profile (with 10-20 points) or if you post from a profile with >200 points?

    I love this Ashley and team! What's one message you want to give to the makers who are on the edge of launching their products but hold back due to some limiting beliefs they face?

    @5harath IMO Makers should read some amazing Launch Tips by the community (https://www.producthunt.com/disc...) and just SHIP IT :) In case they still hold back, they should just reach out to us. Our team is super friendly and very approachable. Always happy to help :)

    Hey Ashley, logging into that page doesn't seem to work :(

    @dorian_grolaux hey Dorian! can you please let me know what error you're getting? what did you use to log in?
    Dorian
    @cristinaibunea I can't really even login, if I just press the login button on that page it immediately shows an error message (which I cannot seem to share as a screenshot here 😬) But it says: ERROR Sorry, an error occurred. We're aware of the issue and working on getting it resolved. Please refresh this page to try again. if I try to reload the page, I then get: We’re having a problem logging you in. Please refresh the page, and then try again.

    When will you fix searching for products so we can see them by most recent? So far the only options are Product and People. Also if I type like a particular subject, for example, I am looking for alternative web browsers that I saw a few days ago on product hunt and I can't remember the name, and I type in browsers and it shows me everything but what was recent.

    Looking forward to the event!

    Make it so that people, other than those who have 1000+ hunts, can stand a chance when hunting a product! :-)

    Hey @naomichao! I saw Gamma's Upcoming Page and also spoke to Grant. Super excited to know about Gamma. Every launch post has a 'Launch Day' dashboard. You can keep referring to this dashboard to track the launch progress. I hope it helps :) For example, you can check Highlight's dashboard here: https://www.producthunt.com/post...
