Hey all! One of the makers of @MakerHunt here. A bit late to the party but happy to be on here and answer any questions that may be had and have not been answered yet :) I worked on all things design and continue to do so. Excited for all that's coming and hope you all enjoy!
Jack Smith
@erictwillis I was wondering when you were going to post this ;)

Eric has done a tremendous job with the community. His AMA are extremely well-organized.

@mengto Thanks so much for the feedback, Meng! Happy to hear you’re enjoying the community and AMA's. :)

I've been really impressed with the work that Eric, Jonas and Mubashar (really hoping I'm not forgetting anyone) have done a great job of getting the community off the ground. They may be surprised to hear this as I suspect I'm also their most consistent critic, but to their everlasting credit they've created an energetic, diverse, intelligent and helpful community. Edit: realized I had forgotten Ben's work on archiving the AMAs - which is also much appreciated.

@mbuckbee Thanks so much Michael! (Eric & I actually get a lot of our daily talking points from your criticism, so please do keep it up, you're helping us immensely in figuring out what we can do to make Maker Hunt better!)
Eric Willis
@mbuckbee Your feedback is always good. I think I'm going to take a bit more action on the main issue.
Moe Amaya
The AMAs have such a density of useful information it's incredible. Eric and team have done a great job building up the community with helpful and talented folks always ready to offer advice or recommendations!
Cat Noone
@moeamaya Awesome to hear, Moe! Glad you’re getting some solid info out of them!
Dave Park
Wanted to join because I love the idea of chatting on Slack with other ppl in the PH community but it looks like it's currently open to "makers." Any timeline as to when people working on things can join?
jns.eth
@daveparkhere Hey Dave! We're working on a more open system right now that will enable people who's product isn't on ProductHunt (yet) to join us. In terms of timeline I can't promise anything, but we're definitely aiming to get it working this month! (If you went through the signup flow on the site & signed up for the email-list you'll be notified as soon as it's ready!)

MH Community is really exciting to be part of, keep up the good work.
Violeta Nedkova
I'm a member and I love the energy in the community and how helpful everyone is. As for the AMA's, they're... beyond. Should be writing some sort of roundup one of these days. ;)
Cat Noone
@v4violetta Thanks a ton, Violeta. You’re awesome :) Glad you're finding the AMAs pretty ace.
Saul Fleischman
Great article on MaketHunt, @v4violeta - made me open PH today! Not sure if you had me already, @erictwillis. Now you do.

Maker hunt is an incredible resource! A very useful community for both existing and aspiring makers.

Just over 3 weeks ago, we created a community for Product Hunt makers to get together and share information that wouldn't fit into the discussion right on Product Hunt. I talk briefly about that here: https://medium.com/@erictwillis/.... It has blossomed to 100s of makers who share interesting content, network for job opportunities, provide feedback for pre-launch products, and a host of other things. We've also done daily AMAs with great entrepreneurs who've been gracious enough to share their valuable perspectives with the community. The idea is to help makers become better makers and hopefully launch better products on Product Hunt. Soon, we'll be releasing some tools that will also help "non-makers" contribute
Ben Tossell
Also you can find previous AMAs on our medium channel here: https://medium.com/@makerhunt We have had some amazing insights into the minds of some fantastic makers.
Pieter Walraven
Keep up the good work @erictwillis ! Loved the ama with @sandimac and hear her stories on Quibb & PH :D Also met some great makers so far that I'm looking forward to keeping in touch with. Amazing platform to further connect with other makers and share detailed learnings! @christoy @_bgian @daspianist etc ;)
Eric Willis
Thanks @zer0mike
Mubashar Iqbal
Very happy to have been part of the team that created Maker Hunt. I think the coolest thing is that we've already seen some new products created by people who met on Maker Hunt.
jns.eth
@mubashariqbal yes, definitely super exciting to see people come together and building new & super cool things! :)
Darren J Smith
The AMAs have been ace!
Josh Muccio
Soo excited to finally see this on PH! 👏 😄 I've already made several valuable connections in the Maker Hunt community. Embed Hunt (http://www.producthunt.com/posts...) was the result of some of those connections, and I'm sure you'll see more startups/products come out of Maker Hunt in the future! Oh, and the AMA's are wonderful! I love getting to know the people behind the products 😏 thanks @erictwillis, @mubashariqbal, @sleinadsanoj, @bentossell, @remco_verhoef & @imcatnoone for all your work putting this together. I'm very excited to be a part!
Ben Tossell
@erictwillis @mubashariqbal @sleinadsanoj @remco_verhoef @imcatnoone @joshmuccio Thanks Josh! So many great comments about Maker Hunt... feeling the love! Thanks everyone.

Maker Hunt is a great place to find inspirational and knowledgable people who are always so helpful. With tonnes of great AMA's, I find myself on the channel most of the day and have made some new friends along the way! 👍

Hi there, one of the makers of Maker Hunt here. I'll be around all day to answer any questions you might have. If you want to read a bit more about what making Maker Hunt has been like in the short time that it existed I wrote some things about my personal experience here: https://medium.com/@jonasdaniels... We're currently working hard to provide more & better tools for makers as well as anyone who does not have a product on Product Hunt (yet). You'll see a lot of that sooner rather than later. :)
Misbah Ashraf
