Why Traditional Messaging Fails?

Research from McKinsey & Company suggests that employees spend 30% of their workweek searching for information they already have, significantly reducing productivity. A Forrester study found that Fortune 500 companies lose $31.5 billion annually due to knowledge loss from employee turnover. With organizations using an average of 110 SaaS tools, according to Okta s Business at Work report, companies are increasingly suffering from siloed information and fragmented workflows.

For me:

1. TikTok-like launch party / AMA livestream

2. "Where Are They Now?" Tracker of products 3-6-12 months post-launch

3. Feed of launch stories sharing successes, failures and tips like a substack community/feed

4. Pre-launch AI scoring + domain-specific expert advisory

5. Generative launch creatives for social media distribution

6. "This vs. That" Showdowns head-to-head product debate & polls

7. Dedicated boards for more content diversity: hardware, non-AI tools, pre-orders, alpha user invitations etc.

8. Launch-in-public real-time analytics (visitor heatmaps, referrals, engagement - inspired by hunted.space)

9. Different display views of daily product launches (inspired by PHDeck)

10. More fun gamification in points system (interactive badges, referral, waitlist pre-launch)

11. Better search filters (category, reviews, personalized recommendations)

12. Founder matching hub for advisory and mentorship

@rajiv_ayyangar Curious to learn more about ProductHunt's future roadmap! :)

For me, Product Hunt is where I discover the latest, most interesting products and stay on top of what s happening. Beyond that, it s an amazing place to get inspired, and see innovation unfold in real time. Did PH help you get your first users? Did you stumble upon a product that changed your workflow? Have you met someone here who inspired you? Would love to hear your story drop it in the comments!
