We redesigned Product Hubs, would love your thoughts.

Hey all, we just released a few updates to product hubs with a focus on converting visitors to your website/apps/social, and providing the right information to community members who are researching new products. As an example, here's Notion's product hub: https://www.producthunt.com/products/notion (you can access your product hubs in the new sidebar on the homepage)
The header was re-focused on driving conversions, followers, and saves. We’ve removed upvote counts and focused on reviews + followers on the hub pages; while upvotes are important for launch day, we’ve found that they’re not necessarily a highly correlated signal for overall product quality, especially for community members researching products months (or years) after a launch.
The updated sidebar displays links, product info, and makers more prominently, and the rest of the page has been simplified with an additional focus on reviews (currently sorted by recent, so make sure you’re encouraging your community to leave reviews).
As always, Product Hunt is in a constant state of change, so let us know what you think about these changes and if you have any suggestions or recommendations moving forward!

@kylefrost I love the update, but it seems like only projects with a launch in the past 6 months get their upvoters converted into followers?

@ichangetheway Followers is a fairly new introduction to PH, so we didn't do backfill on products with older launches.

@kylefrost I see. When did you launch the follower update?
I love the new design!
Perhaps adding a section for user-generated content, like tutorials, would enhance user experience and drive engagement. 😊

Super clean! 🥳 Really like the fact that the team has its own tab now and the card on the right with everything

It's simple and beautiful. I found only one issue, I can see the Admin Bar, and Edit, Launch, and Promote menus.

Looks great! I can substitute it as a my landing page :)
Great to hear that you've redesigned Product Hubs! As a user of Product Hunt, I'm always interested in seeing updates and improvements to the platform. I'd love to hear more about the changes you've made to the Product Hubs and how they improve the user experience.
Some specific questions that come to mind: What inspired the redesign of Product Hubs? What are some of the key changes you've made to the layout or functionality? How do you think these changes will benefit users of the platform?
Looking forward to learning more about the updates you've made!
I like this update. Great job!

Great! I love this change.
Frequently, people wonder what else can be done after launching a product on Product Hunt since it seems more like just a publishing platform for the product itself rather than a place for building a sustainable user community.
I believe this change will benefit both developers and product seekers alike.

@inc_gemoo yep, we’re working on ways to improve this aspect of PH. Fwiw, we actually drive quite a bit of traffic to products *after* launch day through the product hubs.
Looks good Kyle! Keep up the good work 💪
@kylefrost There are lots of features. Very good use of minimal animation.

Awesome! It will definitely be nice to see the products after the launch.
I have one suggestion. Can you make the polls in discussions look normal in the app? I don't see any options 🥲
