"Product Hunt definitely is a great place to launch — a place where many developer-first products launched successfully: Supabase, Resend, and Warp, to name a few.
According to similarweb.com, Product Hunt gets 4.8 million unique visitors every month, and according to Ahrefs, it has a 91 domain rating.
Product Hunt helps raise awareness, get feedback, and enable early traction.
Rishabh Kaul, Head of Marketing at Appsmith, who launched in March 2023 and ranked #5 Product of the Day, adds:"
As a founder of an app that is/should be a great fit for producthunt, I feel these reasons are not at all compelling. The days of producthunt's relevance are likely in the past as a flood of shitty ai projects have flooded the feed. I would be curious to know who cares about producthunt anymore.
hey Jacob, Flo here -- i'm the author of this story. thanks for your comment.
you're spot on. most people overthink Product Hunt too much. now, think SEO. from my perspective, when you launch on Product Hunt, your objective shouldn't be the # of upvotes you get or the spot you rank.
keep it simple. launch to get discoverable. repeat to stay accountable and top of mind.
Getting absolutely dragged on this by recruiters on linkedin - after seeing multiple viral posts on twitter about white-fonting text into a resume to get more interviews, we decided to add a small feature which allows users to add invisible content to their resume. While we do not recommending using this, it is super interesting and given our position of a large amount of job seekers, we figured, why not see if it works.
I am the founder of Rezi - a really well liked resume builder. If you want, I'd be happy to provide you with a fully upgraded account for free. It's not much, but at least you'll feel confident about your resume
I don't want to be overly critical and I wish you the best of luck in your search but your website/resume is not helping you. Whether it's the 1998 Geocities UI/look & feel (hard to read) or the obvious spelling errors (Bacherlor's Degree), you are not putting your best foot forward. It is difficult for someone to determine where your experience is and what type of IT job you are looking for.
Suggestion: Revise your resume and have 3-4 people in the industry review/critique it honestly. Keep refining until you have something that is generating more interest.
Put yourself in a hiring person's shoes. You need to fill a position and are looking through a few dozen applications / resumes. You have 5-20 seconds to attract their interest. What changes do you need to make to engage that person and make them want to reach out for further discussion? Good luck - these changes are not hard and you can do it!
Rezi looks awesome and I love pages with personality ("Total Users (this is annoying to update)"). Giving this a try now.
Update: I've been moving my resume over and I love how well made the website is, even little things like selecting a state and having the cities localized. This is really cool!
