First thing I do is to visit the website. If it's clear what they're doing from the website, then I scroll and understand briefly, sometimes even signup and try it, and then make a comment and upvote. Sounds like a lengthy process, but it isn't. And otherwise, it feels shallow.

@vertikanigam That sounds like a thoughtful and thorough approach! It's definitely more valuable than leaving a shallow comment without any real engagement.
Launching soon!
@sanja_micic Absolutely. Some might say I'm wasting time though, but I don't think so.
Some products are awesome that I find there.
I like to watch demo videos and then look at screenshots.
I would say: relevance, video, screenshots - then head to actually try it out. I do often Upvote based on the first 3 though!
@jade_grimwood That makes a lot of sense! Prioritizing relevance, video, and screenshots before diving in to try the product is a practical approach. Nice method!
Me too Igor! I watch the videos first, then look at the images. If I'm still confused, I'll read the hunter launch copy for the details. I'll vote if I think it's a good product 🙌 the trouble is there are so many amazing products on product hunt!
I usually upvote a product on Product Hunt if it makes me go "Oh, that's clever!" or "Wow, how did they even think of that?"—kind of like finding hidden treasure in a sea of apps.
You explore like a sailor on the open sea. Fantastic. We think alike.
Check the website, understand the idea and upvote if it looks useful to me, community and world out there.
@sachin_singh34 Very good.
😅a bit late ,but I check out the details and if it makes me go ooh that's a great idea I upvote
