How do you feel about new Product Hunt changes?

Question

I noticed recent changes in the web UI and I need to say that these are likeable.

+ Apart from that there appeared (probably) sponsored banners between launches.

What other changes with this platform would you welcome?

I think, that the ability to send updates directly to people who follow you and your product would be nice. Of course, with some anti-spam measures in place. For now, it seems like there isn't many opportunities to interact with them. Or maybe I'm missing something?

Looks more clear, clean and structured.

JJ, It looks fresh and belonging to 2024 – 2025 era :D @pragadeesh_natarajan

I like the new UI!

One thing that caught my attention, though, is how the number of comments is visible during the first few hours. It feels a bit contradictory to hiding upvotes, as it might still influence user behavior. That said, I’m curious to see how this evolves!

One change I’d personally welcome is the ability to add images to comments (for example, to share screenshots).

I feel the same way, Nika. UI is cleaner and more task focused now. Happy with the way things are currently.

Some update feel smoother but I miss the simplicity of the old layout. Change is good though, if it makes things better.

@karl_mechkin it would make this platform like social media. I think that it should be optional for users to get these updates. That would be fair.

I think the recent changes to Product Hunt are pretty interesting. They seem to be focusing more on user experience and community engagement, which is great. It’s always a bit nerve-wracking when platforms make big updates, but so far, I’ve noticed some improvements in how products are showcased and discovered. What do you think about it?

Overall, I’m optimistic and excited to see how these changes evolve over time!

I think the new changes to Product Hunt are pretty interesting. They seem to be making the platform more user-friendly and accessible, which is great for both creators and users. However, I'm a bit concerned about how these changes might affect the community vibe that made Product Hunt special in the first place. Overall, I'm optimistic and excited to see how it evolves!

The addition of sponsored banners between launches caught me off guard but i can see the reasoning behind it

@morgane_prr Yes, rn, adding images is only with help of html :)

When it comes to additional suggestions, I would welcome a bigger number of notifications in circle. It is quite small for my eyesight :D
