Product Landscapes - Category overviews written by top founders

Product Hunt is indispensable as the place to see what's new, but with the introduction of Shoutouts (the products that power top launches), Product Hunt now has an incredible dataset of which products are most loved (20,000 Shoutouts and counting). But the data is only a piece of the puzzle — to really make a call on which product to try or buy, you need to understand that product's category. We asked ourselves: Who are the absolute best people to paint the landscape of a product category. More often than not, they're active founders. We asked them if they'd be up for making a truly exceptional product landscape overview - not the SEO grift that's so common. They over-delivered. Our inaugural set of Product Landscapes: Data Analysis - Barry McCardel (CEO of Hex) @barrald Security and Compliance - Christina Cacioppo (CEO of Vanta) @christinacaci AI Infra - Kwindla Kramer (CEO of Daily) @kwindla SEO Tools - Nate Matherson (CEO of Positional) @nate_matherson2 Video Conferencing - me! (former CEO of Tandem) Notion Templates - Ben Lang (former growth at Notion) @benln Hiring Software - Max Kolysh (CEO at Dover) @max_kolysh Online Banking - Immad Akhund (CEO at Mercury) @immad AI Databases - Davit Buniatyan (CEO at Activeloop) @david_buniatyan AI Notetakers - Richard White (CEO at Fathom) @richard_white Check them out, send them to a friend who's looking into one of these categories, and let us know what you think!

Pumped about this launch, congrats team! super pumped about all the amazing things people are building in the Notion ecosystem!

I guess this brings an additional layer to what products ppl should try and the fact that it is backed by data is awesome. Great work team - love the new features and the shipping cadence from PH team!

Do I get kittens coins by supporting the launch directly operated by the one and only product hunt? 😹 JK love it, looking forward to more features in future!

This is an impressive initiative, Rajiv! Having insights from top founders will definitely add a lot of value. How did you decide on the categories to start with?

That is a nice usage of the shoutout data.

It's really insightful to know the most promising products and what the founders think about them! I found SEO tool helpful for me since I'm working on SEO content. But one question: whether all the products will be categorized into the landscape? Can there be a more detailed categories? Look forward to your reply!

Very good idea! I would also love a simple feature to unfollow all who do not follow me any longer. PH is getting better and better. 🤩

Congratulations on this launch. Something very different from what we generally see here. Do you plan to expand into other tech categories? And what about international markets?

Will it be possible to write content on your own in the future?
