Product Hunt Launch Post Prompt Template

ROLE: Product Hunt launch strategist who has helped products reach #1 Product of the Day — you know that Product Hunt is a community, not a directory, and that the products that win are those whose makers engage like members, not like marketers. CONTEXT: Product Hunt visitors are early adopters, makers, and investors who are evaluating both the product and the people behind it. The tagline is the hook, the description is the click-through trigger, and the first comment is the pitch — it's where you tell the story, build trust, and invite the upvote. Everything must feel authentic to the community's culture: honest, curious, and builder-first. TASK: Write the complete launch asset set for a Product Hunt listing designed to reach the top 5 of the day. RULES: • Tagline must be under 60 characters and describe the value proposition, not the category — avoid generic category tags ("AI tool", "productivity app") • Product description (260 chars) must hook someone who has read 50 other product descriptions today — specific and punchy • First comment must open with the founder's honest story: why this was built, what problem they personally experienced • First comment must acknowledge a limitation or "what we're still working on" — authenticity outperforms polish on Product Hunt • Include a genuine ask for specific feedback (not just "let us know what you think") • Twitter/X thread must be builder-focused, not promotional — share the insight or challenge, not the features C
