I really like the direction you’re taking. Product Hunt can feel like it’s run more for the benefit of the maintainers than for the community. It’s their service, so fair enough, but it also means users sometimes lose out. And let’s face it—there’s definitely some gaming of the system going on.
Your approach seems promising. Have you considered taking it even further, maybe by making the platform more decentralized or democratized, kind of like a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization)? That might align the incentives more directly with the indie maker community and help keep everything transparent. In any case, I’m glad to see new ideas that give smaller products and teams a fair shot.
Keep at it!

Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. Product Hunt is a great platform I. Many ways, BUT there is always room for new approaches that put the spotlight back on the community itself.
I love the idea of exploring ways to make the platform more decentralized too. However for now, I'm more focused on keeping things simple and fair while improving based on feedback like yours. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
