Product Hunt and Shipit
People ask how we're different from Product Hunt. We're not here to replace it. PH is the big room; we use it too. If you want launch-day scale and their leaderboard, that's still the main stage.
Shipit is smaller: the feed moves on clicks to your real URL, not upvotes. Your listing stays after launch day. No hunters. If that fits how you ship, you're in the right place.
How it breaks down
What moves the needle
Product Hunt: Launch-day upvotes and who sees your post, often tied to followers and who hunted you.
Shipit: When someone clicks from your card to your actual product or site. We care about that click, not a number on a button.
After launch day
Product Hunt: Most of the attention is that first day. After that it gets quiet fast for a lot of products.
Shipit: Your page stays. People can still find you through the homepage feed, categories, and search.
Hunters
Product Hunt: Hunting is part of the culture. Sometimes great, sometimes it feels like you need an intro.
Shipit: We don't have hunters. You submit your own product. That's it.

Why we built it this way
Upvotes are easy to game or bundle into a "launch package." Clicks to your real URL are messier, but they're closer to "did a stranger actually care?"
We're not claiming we're better than PH. We're a different shape of the same problem: getting your thing in front of people who build and buy software.
