Product Hunt: Submission guide

Prepare a maker-led launch with a clear product demonstration and a deliberate launch date. The observed workflow reached a scheduled launch; that confirms a date, not publication or homepage placement.

Public sample of a platform guide

Product Hunt is a possible launch destination for products that suit people exploring new technology. Use this sample to see the kind of preparation, decisions and confirmation steps LaunchRepo organizes for your agent. It illustrates the guide format; it does not claim that Product Hunt is the best destination for your product.

Observed:

Preparation

Prepare a personal maker profile, product URL, logo and gallery. The observed form allowed a 60-character tagline and 500-character description. Recheck limits before writing final copy.

Workflow

Search My Products and the public site first. Add the product URL, select an accurate category, upload real product images and identify the maker. Represent paid products with trial access honestly, then choose and confirm the launch date.

Watch for

Native selects may require direct interaction. Verify the selected value after scrolling. Do not solicit upvotes or invent testimonials, and do not count a saved draft as a scheduled launch.

What counts as confirmation

Record scheduled only after the account confirms the date and time zone. On launch day, inspect the public product page before recording live.

What your agent prepares

A tagline within the current field limit, an accurate description, an appropriate category and the actual product media. Paid products with a trial must be described as such. Customer counts, testimonials and awards must come from real evidence.

What you decide

Which account to use, what the product can truthfully claim and whether the proposed launch date works for you. You handle account verification and any challenge that requires a person. Your agent must stay within the publication permissions you granted.

What needs checking in the form

Confirm that category selections stayed correct after interaction, the assets match the product and the displayed date and time zone are right. A saved draft is not a scheduled launch. A scheduled date is not proof of publication or homepage placement.

Official platform entry: Product Hunt ↗

Explore where people discover and compare software. Choose by product fit and audience, then check what it takes to submit. The six public field guides show the format of the toolkit’s platform instructions: dated observations, no publication or ranking guarantee.

What the full toolkit adds

Use the same product brief across the selected platforms, preserve the instructions and permissions, and keep each submission’s result in your workspace. The local dashboard gives you a place to read those records when you continue.
