Looking for a way to keep on top of the latest products and trends in tech? Here’s a platform to make this easy! 
Technology is an integral part of our lives today with tech tools, platforms, mobile applications, web applications and web pages designed specifically to enhance each area of our lives. As per one estimate, Google Play Store enlisted, on average, 3739 apps every day in 2019! We have a tech tool or app for everything, ranging from workouts and meal deliveries to book reviews and dating.
As is understandable with the volume of new apps and tech products being developed all over the world each day, many such products are lost in the clutter and go unnoticed despite their innovation, quality and potential. Even when such products do find their way onto popular distribution platforms such as the Apple Appstore or the Google Play Store, they are difficult for users to find. In order to address this particular market gap and pain point, ‘Product Hunt’ was launched. Producthunt.com is a website that collates the latest products, tools, mobile and web applications that are yet to become mainstream but have good potential, and are chosen and rated by their users.
A platform driven by a community of tech lovers
In recent times, consumer ratings, reviews, claps, likes and votes have begun to become the means for establishing credibility of new products or services launched. Examples of websites where users endorse their favourite launches, thus bringing these to the attention of other like-minded users include Goodreads, Quora, Medium, LinkedIn, and Scoopit. Developed on similar lines, the website Product Hunt showcases on its landing page the most popular/latest tech products each day, across various categories. The search box on the landing page reads “Discover your next favourite thing…”
Users can browse a list of the latest in tech products daily, vote and comment for them as well as read comments and reviews of other users on the website. Signing on to the website is as easy going to producthunt.com and creating an account for free. Besides browsing through the latest products, the website has sections for “deals”, “jobs”, “discussions” and even “mentors”, allowing users to book one-on-one meetings with industry experts for advise on topics ranging from product development and social media strategy to engineering and PR. Further, the website allows users to “follow” other users, like Tristan Pollock, and keep on top of their activities and posts.
Product Hunt essentially creates a community for the exchange of ideas in the latest in tech across leaders, developers and users of technology solutions around the world, providing visibility and a launchpad for new products with great potential.
A launch pad for the latest tech ideas
With about 3 Millions registered users and web traffic of about 4 Million visitors each month, Product Hunt is the ideal platform to provide visibility for amateur developers, programmers, and even students who truly believe in their ideas and want to present them to the world. In addition to providing a platform to find the ideal users, the website provides them with important tools they need to best promote their products.
The “mentoring” and “discussion” sections allow these developers access to make-or-break insights, and the launch for the product on the platform provides a footing that places the newly designed product as the ‘number one’ of the day or month, bringing it on the radar of the website’s avid users.
For tech afficionados wanting to keep on top of the latest products and trends, and for developers wanting to present their latest creations, Product Hunt is increasingly becoming the new mecca!
