We'd also like to incorporate answers to the most common questions from the community, so here's your open call to ask us anything in the comments below!

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! 😻

What are some successful traits & commonalities among the most successful launches?
Product Hunt
This is awesome. We are just about to launch on product hunt and would love any help we can get.
How does a boosted profile affect product ranking algorithms?
Product Hunt
Hey @stas_voronov - what do you mean by boosted profile? Like some popular figure?
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?
Hey, this is amazing.

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?
Product Hunt
@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 :)
Product Hunt Launch Checklist
@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.

Product Hunt
@cristinaibunea @dorian_grolaux seems like I've figured it out. Is this also your account ? https://www.producthunt.com/@mrs... If yes, I can go ahead and merge your accounts which will resolve this :)
You can also reach out to our team on Intercom. We will be more than happy to help :)
@cristinaibunea /@mrskwiggs /@mrs @adityavsc Yes that's also my account. Interesting! Yes go ahead for merging :) Thanks all 🙏

@dorian_grolaux I've merged the accounts. You should be fine to login now. If you still face some issues, do let us know!

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! :-)
When will dark mode be released in PH?
Great idea from the Product Hunt team! Will definitely be joining the event.

Gamma
Oo nice timing, thanks! What tools do makers use to track their launches and what data should they be tracking?
Product Hunt
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...
Product Hunt
looking forward for it.
