About Product Hunt
Product Hunt is a website for finding software that has just been released, organised around a daily list of the products launching that day. Makers post what they have built, the site features the day's top entries, and visitors work through them to see what is new. It is free to use.
Listings are sorted into categories, so someone who only cares about a particular kind of software can browse that slice rather than the whole feed. Developer Tools and Artificial Intelligence are two of the categories the site names. Directory listings describe launches from other fields, including SaaS and fintech, appearing alongside them.
The daily cycle is what makes the site useful in two directions at once. For anyone building software, it is a way to put a launch in front of an audience that has turned up specifically to look at new products, on a day when that launch is one of a fixed and finite set. For everyone else, it is a filtered view of what has just shipped, with the day's featured entries at the top rather than an undifferentiated stream.

Product Hunt was founded by Ryan Hoover. Rajiv Ayyangar is chief executive and Mike Kerzhner is chief technology officer.
Directories also mention email newsletters, for readers who would rather have the day's picks sent to them than visit the site, and an API for pulling listing data out programmatically. Neither is described in enough detail to say what the newsletter covers or what the API exposes, so treat both as things to confirm on the site.
One caveat: the material Product Hunt states publicly describes what the site does rather than how the daily ranking is decided. How a product earns its place among the top entries, and how long it stays visible, are not spelled out. If those mechanics matter to how you time a launch, check them directly before building a date around them.
