Product Hunt Maker Comment Template

Draft a maker introduction that explains the task, why you built the product, what is available and the specific feedback you want.

When to use this template

Use this when preparing your own Product Hunt launch and you can explain the product from direct founder knowledge.

Choose another approach when: You want to fabricate a founder story, recruit coordinated upvotes, disguise your affiliation, or post before checking the platform’s current launch guidance.

Gather these inputs

Your actual relationship to the product and reason for building it.
The current workflow, access conditions and known limitations.
A concrete feedback question that visitors can answer from trying or inspecting it.

Copy and adapt the template

Product Hunt Maker Comment Template: editable text

Worked example

Illustrative example, not a Crany customer result. Replace every example detail with facts you can verify.

Hi, I’m Sam, the maker of a fictional app called Handoff Notes. I built it after organizing website-update instructions across several project documents; that story would need to be true before publication.
The beta lets invited designers create a text checklist and preview what a client sees. It does not yet import video notes. I’d value feedback on whether the client preview makes the next update step clear.
The draft invites a product discussion, identifies the maker and avoids asking readers to vote.

How to use it

Use your real role and a verifiable building context.
Show the actual task and state present access and limits.
Ask a focused feedback question, check current rules and obtain approval before posting.

Check before using it

The first-person account belongs to the actual maker.
No direct upvote request or coordinated voting instruction is included.
The draft does not imply access or capabilities that are unavailable.

What to measure

Record useful product questions and qualified feedback separately from votes or page views. This is a discussion draft; it does not guarantee homepage placement, votes or customers.

Research and sources

Product Hunt’s own guide supports maker participation and says not to request upvotes directly. The comment structure and fictional example are original and are not copied from a successful launch.
