What kind of recommendations would you appreciate from Product Hunt?

Question

Personalization is becoming more and more of a norm and expectation on the internet and IRL experiences. IMO, if I am an active user somewhere, I will happily provide signals (within reason) to personalize my experience.

We’re working on some ways to improve recommendations on Product Hunt, and I'm curious to get your input on the topic.

I'd love it if PH could learn which types of products I want to see the most. Whether that's by measuring how long I spend on a launch page, the upvotes I give, my reviews of similar products, etc. Like how Pinterest and Etsy learn from your browsing history (and collections/interests) to show you stuff they know you'd like.

Gabe Perez · Answer

The For You tab on mobile is a cool first start. However, I would love a more personalized feed based on the Makers I follow, the Products I upvote, and the Products I use.

It'd also be awesome to have recommendations for my collections so I can browse, try, and collect quickly!

Jamie Sprowl · Answer

@juliomedina @naomichao totally agree - the current interest picker is pretty hidden in profiles and Pinterest does a great job of making this experience seamless!

Julio Medina · Answer

Heavier weight on interests from the profile. I have just updated my profile after years of just a few interests. I went though and took my time picking things I like, interested in, and want to see and I had no idea there were so many available that it makes me wonder what I might have been missing in my feed all this time!

Rihab Zaidi · Answer

Great question. Would be great if I can add my interests, favorite industries, etc in order to have recommended products for me tailored to my preferences.

@naomichao +1 on this

Naomi Chao · Answer

@juliomedina Totally! Or a system like Pinterest where you can make collections and choose which collections factor into what's shown on your homescreen. It's a pretty neat feature

Hey Jamie, thanks for asking!
I'd love to discover products similar to ones I add to a collection anytime I collect 1. :)

I deeply value recommendations from Product Hunt that offer insightful feedback and suggestions for improvement. Recommendations that highlight specific pain points, propose innovative features, or share user experiences are particularly valuable in shaping the product's roadmap and ensuring its continuous growth and customer satisfaction.
