Tell Me What's Wrong With this Product Hunt Launch.
I posted this today. Worked on it very much on the side. Didn't even think I'd really launch it when I only found 2 deals worth sharing last week. Now there's 18 deals listed.
The deals are great, but this Product Hunt launch is terrible.

List all the ways it's bad, and what I could have done better.
- Better logo
- Better screenshots?
- More work to get folks to the product hunt page earlier?
Hey Andrew, I posted a similar site a couple days ago and the PH support told me deals sites are against their guidelines so it would not be featured.
It's not cos the product isn't good, it's not a right fit. Best people to ask is the support via Intercom, that's what I do. This was my one: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/black-design-toolbox
Yep, they still allow it, it's just not featured on the popular page. At least that's what the support team told me.
Yeah weird that they don't let maker black friday products feature on the homepage, but send us all a big 'Black Friday deals for founders' in the PH newsletter: https://www.producthunt.com/newsletter/3662
Appsumo is a sponsor... sooo i see it a bit. But funny that I remeber a ton of traffic 2 yrs ago when BF deal sites were there and now the products are good on PH but no love. Podcorn was posted... its awesome for.podcasters... gamechanger for some!
That happened to me too with Colors&fonts and I asked. A curator has put your product to launch tomorrow. They might have seen potential.
I sorta messed it up, that's why it's relaunching tomorrow. :) I posted with a new maker profile, when I had a maker profile that's done well before. There's 4 options to log in and if you pick the wrong one, you create a new profile.
It says scheduled for tomorrow.
Thanks Harry!
Any specific examples of good screenshots? I just added a few more/different ones. and made a custom first screenshot, taking a cue from your PH page.
@harrydry i improved the list with images and put up better screenshots. Thx for the input.
np - good luck
