Hey, PH folks!
I'm the dev behind Hackerhunt. As much as I love Hacker News and it's ranking algorithm for the front page news, it has a downside for the Show HN submissions. A lot of cool and useful stuff people have actually made themselves gets lost without a real chance to get noticed.
That's where the idea of a curated and categorised, Γ -la-Product-hunt, list was born.
Suggestions are welcome! π€
@degif I love the simplicity of the list layout!
Reminds me of the early layout of Product Hunt before GIFs/thumbnails took over on the homepage. I really, really wish there was an option to hide them.
π Congrats on the launch! The naming is cool.
Anyway, how is it better that Product Hunt?
1. Do you have a spam filter? π
If everybody can easily submit their product to Hacker Hunt and "cheat on votes", it can become the mass of spam... Btw, I haven't seen "submit" product button.
2. Can you avoid duplications?
I mean, I or other founders can submit on PH, HN and to your HH π! So there is no reason for a user to see the same product everywhere... As a user, I will prefer to check only one place. Too much distractions already
3. π What will you do if HN will improve their Show HN section?
4. How are you planning to grow the community over your HH?
As a user of Product Hunt, I value most the community of people here...
I honestly wish you good luck
and don't think that I want to troll you with my feedback.

@lisadziuba Hey, Lisa. I guess you got the idea all wrong :) Hacker Hunt is Hacker News Show HN posts tagged and categorised. You can't submit anything to Hacker Hunt directly. Think of it as a filter for Hacker News focused on products.
If Hacker news improved Show HN themselves we would be proud and happy when a awesome resource becomes even more awesome π€
Hacker Hunt is more of a fun side-project - our team learned a ton of new stuff making it.
