Most of us love Product Hunt — it used to feel like the home for builders.
But somewhere along the way, it became crowded, chaotic, and algorithmic.
Every day, hundreds of great ideas vanish behind a leaderboard that rewards timing more than creativity. The “future of discovery” can’t be decided by who posts at 12:01 a.m. PST.
That’s why we built Avenir — the futuristic directory for founders to broadcast before they launch.
Here’s what we fixed 👇
Prioritizes daily popularity, not long-term discovery.
Feels cluttered — hundreds of posts, no identity.
Focused on “who launches,” not why they built.
Once you’re off the front page, you’re forgotten.
The Pulse: Real-time feed that highlights products trending across weeks — not hours.
Avenir Picks: Curated spotlight — the best founders get featured, not buried.
Marketspace: Let founders build presence before reality — test, grow, and be seen.
Minimal, fast, futuristic UI built for interaction, not noise.
We’re not building another listing site.
We’re building the broadcast layer of the internet — where the future shows up first.
👉 Join the waitlist — and broadcast your MVP before the rest of the world even knows what’s coming.
The idea sounds fresh, especially for indie devs who don’t have a huge following or a launch budget.
Curious to see how Avenir avoids becoming just another leaderboard over time. Discovery without noise is tough — hope it lives up to the promise.
I want to talk about BigIdeasDB.com , is it paid task for you to write about?
Brilliant take on what's broken with Product Hunt! The 'timing over creativity' problem really hits home - so many great products get buried just because they didn't post at exactly 12:01 AM PST. Love that Avenir is rethinking discovery around long-term trends rather than daily popularity contests. The broadcast layer concept is fascinating - giving founders visibility BEFORE launch could be a total game-changer. Excited to see where you take this!
I remember when launching on Product Hunt felt like a rite of passage. But now, unless you already have a following or marketing budget, it’s easy to get buried. The idea of creating a space that helps projects find momentum before launch is actually brilliant. It makes me wonder how many great products never got noticed simply because they didn’t have the right timing or visibility.
