Launching soon!
Oh no, then it will become the same as Linkedin and someone will create a tool to automate outreach and generate attention until people will stop engaging...

@haralds_gabrans_zukovs You make a valid point Harald. Looking forward to watching the amazing product you are gonna launch on 17th!
Yes, it would be cool.
No I like not having the DMs unless it was maybe hooked with kitty coins as a payment gateway to get messages
Product Hunt is great as is. Implementing DMs would add too much clutter, because PH serves as a platform to launch products and be immersed in a community who are on the hunt/enthused by new products, possibly to start using in their daily lives or recommend to others. DMs can be done via LinkedIn/Social media platforms.
@s_govindachetty Completely agreed Satish! However a verified approach of people being verified can only DM. How does that sound to you?
Yes but only for verified users
I believe it should be added! Adding a DM option could improve networking, but ensuring it's restricted to people you follow would maintain privacy and prevent spam.
@h_anil_yarimca Exactly Anil. You made the best point. It should be added but it should also make sure that privacy is not compromised
