500 Days on Product Hunt — What’s Kept You Coming Back?

Today marks my 500th day in a row on Product Hunt, and I wanted to share a few reflections from this journey, in case it sparks ideas or conversation with others in the community.

What began as casual browsing turned into a daily routine that taught me a lot about consistency, product discovery, and the value of thoughtful engagement.

A Quick Look Back

Over these 500 days, I’ve:

• Earned 6,450+ points

• Hunted or supported 80+ products

• Connected with 3,000+ makers and founders

• Learned something new almost every day

But more than the numbers, it’s the people and products that have kept me coming back.

A Few Suggestions for the Community

As a regular user, here are some features I’d love to see:

1. Hidden Gems Section – A weekly spotlight for quality products that didn’t get much visibility on launch day.

2. Role-Based Discovery – Let users filter tools by roles (e.g., marketer, dev, designer) to find what’s most relevant.

3. More Recognition for Contributors – Makers are vital, but so are commenters, hunters, and feedback-givers. Highlighting them could foster even deeper engagement.

I’m curious to hear from others in the community:

➡ What keeps you returning to Product Hunt?

➡ What changes or features would you love to see here?

Let’s share ideas that can help shape a better experience for everyone ✨
