10 things you may not know about Product Hunt πΌ
I haven't been here since the beginning of the platform, but I enjoy it so much that I looked for some facts and here are some of them.
Just for fun. π
1οΈβ£ Product Hunt started in 2013 as a mailing list of Ryan Hoover @rrhoover
2οΈβ£ In the history of the PH, there was only one woman as CEO β Ashley Higgins @ahiggz
3οΈβ£ The Kitty mascot appeared for the first time in September 2017 (designed by a community member Jesse Thomas).
4οΈβ£ Product Hunt used to have an ambassador program (you could receive a sticker Pack, PH Shirt, Official Socks, and Golden Kitty Trophy).
5οΈβ£ PH also used to have calls with people β you could schedule a call with community managers. (I had one with Pam Garza @pamsny in Feb 2023) π
6οΈβ£ Golden Kitty Awards process, previously it was the PH team who made decisions regarding nominations, now it's up to users. β credits to Artem Konovalov @mattisssa
7οΈβ£ PH used to have a chat option but was shut down later. β info given by AndrΓ© J @sentry_co
8οΈβ£ The order of the PH team staff is randomized (refresh the page and their profile pictures are shuffled). https://www.producthunt.com/about
9οΈβ£ Product Hunt Strike has 3 people on the TOP β all of them have the same count but we do not know according to what their order is determined (maybe timezones?). @saaswarrior @kevin_t_ @jesv
π Product Hunt has 4M monthly visits (all traffic) and people visit 3.25 pages per visit.
And I think that is all I wanted to say.
