How often do you not only support, but also test products on Product Hunt?

Question

I often test apps that are relevant to me, for example, video creation or text writing.

If a product is relevant for you, then supporting it would make sense. Supporting isn't only being part of the launch, but also testing it and providing feedback to the makers.

Feedback is the life and blood of any startup, so it is one of the most valuable things you can do.

If I'm testing a product, it means it solves a problem I currently have. In that case, I'll definitely vote for the product.

I forgot - If the founders have been really nice and have helped me a ton on my launches with my product etc. I tend to help Beta their products.

If a tool looks really cool (paradigm shift for the industry) I check it out. If it's a competitor - or hopes to be. AND when I think it could be valuable for me and or my team.

Nick · Answer

I test apps almost daily, or at least sign up/register and take a look around. If it's something relevant to me I try to give it a good bit of time, if it has nothing to do with my work or interests, I will still support, maybe look around the launch page or product homepage, but not always test.

For me the test is fundamental. This is a key step before upvoting and feedback.

Harsh Vyas · Answer

I frequently test apps that are relevant to me, giving them a try and providing genuine reviews of the products on the Product Hunt or any other review platform. This can be especially helpful for others who are seeking similar tools.

It depends if a software is useful for me as a developer to schedule my work-life routine or how much it benefits my personal interests.

I see no point testing software that doesn't fit to my personal routines or interests.

@hansvangent I give you credits for this. You're absolutely right. Support is great, but feedback is better to get better results for your beloved products and tools you're using.

As a user of a software, I would appreciate when that tool improves step by step and unlocks more possibilities.
