I launched an app on Product Hunt several months ago.
I found the exercise of listing the app and creating the content for the listing a worthwhile exercise, but nothing else about the experience worthwhile.
Every day its listings are filled with redundant apps, template shovelware, wrappers around AI APIs, and random non-app content (think ebooks, blog posts, courses, etc.) Very occasionally you'll find a useful utility or two by a independent team (but you gotta scroll wayyy down). PH has completely failed to defend their ranking algorithms against spam and brigading.
