Our office just had a heated debate about pronouncing niche, so I have come to see if the PH community can give us the final verdict. 😂

Only Niche (neesh)! I do hear a lot of Americans say nitch though which is very funny. There is no T in the word so not sure how they think that it should be pronounced like that 😊

@simona_o_neill3 and thus lies the issue with the English lanugage 😂 It's the hard "che" like cheese?...Should we be saying sheese?

We have a Nitch stronghold of 4% 💪 One could say they are a nitch community within Product Hunt.

It comes from a french word : 'niche' , meaning a dog kennel, or in the correct context, a tiny market. And in french, we pronounce it "Neesh", with a short "ee", like `Nitch` without the `t`. Niche!

Most of the PH users probably call it "AI SaaS for Crypto-based community platform"

If this discussion doesn't go viral, I will start pronouncing it "Nitch"
