Whats the big deal about PH? I never really "got" it and from what i've read it's audience is ADD and more just users exercising the PH site than giving any real traffic to most all projects that get featured.
Would love to see a follow up post in a month that identifies what metrics getting featured on PH impacted, and how they played out over a month. Signups, Churn and MRR are the big three i'd be curious see.

I would say that it definitely depends on your product. Many people here are probably creating something for a completely different target market.
With that said, we saw a huge increase in signups - we'll see how many convert after the free trial ends.
Also, a successful PH launch can serve as social proof, help with SEO, and serve as a long-term source of traffic - you can continue to get referrals from PH long after launch day.

And here I thought sharing a direct link to PH launch page was not recommended/bad practice. Dunno. Fun product, upvoted :)!

Thanks!
I think that's a somewhat common misconception.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree :). Regardless, I wish you your launch goes fabulous!
Linking to “producthunt.com”.
Link directly to your product page. Linking to “producthunt.com” only makes it harder for people to find you and doesn’t have any effect on the algorithm at all. It seems to be “common knowledge” that you’re punished for linking directly to your product page — it’s simply not true. Focus on communicating what your product does. P.S. Linking to producthunt.com is one of the clearest indications you may be “over-optimizing” your launch (gaming the system).

Haha it's saying you SHOULD link to your product page. It is discouraging you from linking to just "producthunt.com" and making people find your listing.
