How would you describe PH to someone who has never heard about this platform? 😀

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

Kickstarter for AI tools/SaaS products.

@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)
I totally get it 🥲
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.
@suchalbojamma This is neat :D Like that politics parallel (without politics). 😅 I will try to use it next time.
@suchalbojamma Guys, How can I give this comment a badge? :D I need there this feature :D
@busmark_w_nika or maybe you could help us get the top product badge instead 😝 🙈

@suchalbojamma I am tuned in. Why pyjamas btw? :D naming.
@suchalbojamma Me likes! This is a creative & clear way to explain the platfrom. Stealing it!
Platfrom where new cool products meet the world ✨
@kate_ramakaieva Yeah, that's how I perceive this platform + cool people are there :)
@busmark_w_nika agreed!!! People on PH are extremely nice & supportive.
@kate_ramakaieva Hey we launched our product Falcon AI today, please go and have a look and don't forget to give support us.

Launching soon!
A platform where new and exciting products are introduced to the world, competing for better visibility to attract traffic and boost sales.
@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
Launching soon!
@busmark_w_nika This is something i love about PH Every time someone asks why I keep coming back, I totally blank on the perfect answer. 😀😀😀
@umar_saleem it is boulevardless media! :D
@umar_saleem Spot on!👏🏻
Launching soon!
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 :)
Launching soon!
@busmark_w_nika Oh, okay. Comment section is great, love the genuine interaction here. (Let's ignore the AI comments)
@vertikanigam I do not ignore them – they are a good source of inspiration for MEMEs :D
Launching soon!
@busmark_w_nika Cannot disagree here
@vertikanigam yes, you have seen my LI post :DDD
Launching soon!
It’s like a university community/club for new tech nerds but digital
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.
@pablo_rodriguez_aracil Addictive! This is a must-have word in the intro! :D Agree with that.
@pablo_rodriguez_aracil Hey we launched our product Falcon AI today, please go and have a look and don't forget to give support us.

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))
@klauss_zee yep, and we do not have the downvote button :D
Startup community where you can innovate and launch products.
@mohamed_lotfi_sassi the best place where you find everything you need for your future self :)
I explain it as Reddit for new product launches! Mostly works!
@my3_murthy Could work. But I need to customize it a bit. In my country Reddit is not so used by people :D
Launching soon!
I would probably say that it is a platform where users discover, share, and discuss new tech products and startups.
@elias_ari Solid answer! :)
where the techies comes out to play
@sarahthemarketer PH = playground for tech enthusiast :D
I would say PH is Playstore (Android) or App store (Apple) of software developers. 😁
@nitin_joshi I like how you play with wording :D
@busmark_w_nika thank you 😊
I would describe Product Hunt as a community where you can discover and share latest tech products and innovations. It's like a launchpad for new ideas where makers and enthusiasts come together.
@andreas_sohns I think this is pretty accurate and I usually describe it almost like this! :)
A community of founders and marketers where the only option for everything you is is "UP" - no negativity, just positive human reinforcement of your ideas and great feedback :)
@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?
@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 this² – so I have chosen this one because there is my sort of people :D with mindset I prefer.
Product Hunt (PH) is a vibrant online community and platform that serves as a discovery hub for innovative products, apps, and startups. It's like a treasure trove where users can find the latest tech gadgets, tools, and services curated by a community of enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and industry experts.
This is so relatable😓
For friends i just say: This is insta for developers. Instead of your pics you post your products and get likes and comments.
To my parents: I just say this is just work
@kshetez_vinayak :DDDDD just work :D just something that pays my bills :D
"A goat at parsley" - there's a new phrase 😂
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.
Launching soon!

@busmark_w_nika Nerd is a right of passage on this platform haha
