Product Landscapes — Category overviews written by top founders
We're launching a new set of product category pages, which combine our Shoutouts data (which products are loved by the top builders) and Product Landscape articles written by top founders who are experts in their fields.

@barrald @christinacaci @kwindla @nate_matherson2 @benln @max_kolysh @immad @david_buniatyan @richard_white @rajiv_ayyangar wow, what an absolute banger of a list, and it is timely. . Is there a way in which founders can pitch if they feel they have a product that is worth reviewing? Also no image editing tools for review?

?makers compelling! But how will you keep these write-ups up to date? What do you estimate is the half-life of these pieces?
I guess this brings an additional layer to what products ppl should try and the fact that it is backed by data is awesome.
Great work team - love the new features and the shipping cadence from PH team!
Very good idea! I would also love a simple feature to unfollow all who do not follow me any longer. PH is getting better and better. 🤩
Wow, this Shoutouts feature looks pretty slick! It's like a digital high-five for the tech world. I love how it's giving credit where credit is due and showing the interconnectedness of the startup ecosystem.
That being said, I've got a few thoughts on how to make it even better:
1. How about a "Shoutout Hall of Fame" for products that consistently get the most love? It could be like the cool kids' table of the tech world.
2. Maybe add a feature where users can upvote shoutouts they agree with? It could help surface the most impactful tools.
3. What if there was a way to filter launches by the tools they used? Could be super helpful for folks looking to build similar products.
4. A little birdie told me some other platforms have tried similar features, but they often end up feeling like a popularity contest. How about adding a brief explanation requirement for each shoutout to keep it genuine?
5. Lastly, and I'm just spitballing here, but what if there was a "Shoutout Challenge" where users have to guess which tools were used in a launch? Could be a fun way to engage the community and learn about new tools.
Keep up the great work, Product Hunt team! You're making the tech world a friendlier place, one shoutout at a time. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go shout out to my coffee maker for making this comment possible.
It's very well crafted, I like it. Lots of info at hands, and the landscape overviews can become really useful also when one has to choose the right category for their product, at launch settings.
I have a couple of questions:
- How is the products ranking calculated? I see products with a higher review score ranking below products with a lower one; same for shoutouts number.
- How are you going to secure freshness of landscape overviews? Technology runs fast, and today's overview might be obsolete tomorrow. It would be nice if overviews were attached to a discussions thread were the community can contribute.
Great job!
@rajiv_ayyangar Good update Rajiv. May help the website from the SEO standpoint as well as help the users pick the right tools recommended by experts. :)
This is an impressive initiative, Rajiv! Having insights from top founders will definitely add a lot of value. How did you decide on the categories to start with?
Hey Rajiv,
How do you ensure the content remains objective, given that the authors may have competing products in the space?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin good question. we opted to have builders in the category write the articles because, though they may have a horse in the race, the information provided will be much more helpful to other builders.
Congratulations on the launch of this exciting new app! Here's to a successful launch and continued innovation!
Hey @rajiv_ayyangar @rajiv_ayyangar1
It’s a clever strategy, but there might be some challenges. How do you ensure the content stays objective?
Congratulations on this launch. Something very different from what we generally see here. Do you plan to expand into other tech categories? And what about international markets?
@davidcarter We're of course international! And yes - what other tech categories would you want to see?
I'm fairly new to PH and have been using Category pages to discover new tools and products that I could potentially use for my launch and I find the addition of Overviews super useful in narrowing down my picks!
Curious if there are plans to have any expert articles for 'Design Tools' and 'No-code Platforms' categories? I was struggling to pick between Webflow, Framer and a few other tools for my site and ended up trying all of them before deciding on one. I'm sure such articles would be a huge time-saver! 🙌🏻
This is a great way to stay up-to-date on the latest products and trends in the tech industry.
