How would you describe PH to someone who has never heard about this platform? πŸ˜€

Anytime I mention the Product Hunt to my friends – they stare at me like a goat at parsley. πŸ˜€ (The same applies when I try to explain to my family that I am a marketer.) What's the best way to introduce PH?

I totally get it πŸ₯² Especially for those in non-tech roles, it can be tricky to explain. I tell them: Product Hunt is like elections, except for the politics 😜. Companies list their products, and supporters vote. It's like a daily competition to find the next big thing.

@umar_saleem This is the fact. I am informed about the latest technology sooner from this platform than from media and news :D even with AI – that was the case. I revealed the technology on PH and then in media :D

You can say, Product Hunt is a platform where new-age technology products are listed and people hangout there to talk about those products, new technologies, strategies, and everything in between. (Secretly, I don't like the fact that people can't chat here. But, okay, it's working for most.)

@vertikanigam I think that chatting is disabled because of a herd of people asking for upvotes :D but comment section is fine to have a public convo :)
Share
@busmark_w_nika Oh, okay. Comment section is great, love the genuine interaction here. (Let's ignore the AI comments)

@byalexai This is also a good parallel (but I am afraid of then I need to explain to people what is a Kickstarter πŸ˜€)
Share
Alex AI
@busmark_w_nika Kickstarter for AI tools is for some people who are familiar with Kickstarter. For other ones - Product Hunt is a marketplace for new software. (For older family members)

@byalexai this is much better. Many people around me (especially family members) are not in tech so I have to be very careful what I say. :D

It's an addictive website where people can launch their products, and you can start a discussion of whatevere you want. Special focus on addictive. In my opinion, the best way to describe it is when you try it.

PH is a friendly startup community, where you can introduce your product, find and give support and motivation. All of these are packed in a nice interface (don't you worry kid, it's better than reddit))

@my3_murthy Could work. But I need to customize it a bit. In my country Reddit is not so used by people :D

@shownotes I like the idea of uplifting each other. That's why I like this platform. No shaming, just uplifting :)

@busmark_w_nika I have shifted 90%of my networking efforts to PH. I used to hang out on X. Here is how I would summarize the popular social media: IG - Look at me! FB - Here is what I ate for lunch! X - They are going to kill us all! LI - "Hello Kabir, I noticed you haven't changed your CEO job for 22 years. We have got a new position for you as VP of Engineering at Teenager.IO." PH - Hey, what are you going to work on this weekend?
Share

@shownotes I think that for my country it is almost the same but the order is like: IG: Here is what I ate for lunch! FB: Conspiracy theories X: What is this? I do not know this platform LI: Hey, jump to a quick call. PH: What is thisΒ² – so I have chosen this one because there is my sort of people :D with mindset I prefer.

"A goat at parsley" - there's a new phrase πŸ˜‚ I think of PH as a community of people who love building and trying new products / tools. It is a place to share and learn - with the best there is in tech!

@jade_grimwood I remember my friend using this phrase when he was speaking about Math classes at secondary school. It was so accurate because many of us didn't have a clue what happened on that blackboard. :DDDD Regarding explanation PH – you are right. I wouldn't describe it better.
