Which launches or events were the most memorable for Product Hunt 2025?
Some launches or events are more memorable than others (and that's because they know how to differentiate themselves from the rest).
We are not completely at the end, but I can certainly say that the PH launch and event struck with me in the sense of making it memorable.
When it comes to the launches, there were 2: @Stickerbox and @Flowtica Scribe
Because I appreciate more and more "hybrid" things that merge hardware + software
As for the event, it was a cancellation of the Notify me page. – Many people were missing this one because it served the purpose – attracted early supporters in advance.
What do you consider the most memorable launches and events of this platform in 2025?

Key moments on PH this year:
Orbit awards
New UI for launch posts
Improved / detailed reviews
Forums growing in relevance
Removal of the Coming Soon page
The end of the Golden Kitty Awards
Rolling out verification for all genuine profiles
I’m genuinely happy about these changes overall, though a bit sad to see the Golden Kitty Awards go.
As for launches, I really enjoyed hunting and testing all the products I hunted this year @rohanrecommends :)

@rohanrecommends yeah, also that one with Kitty awards vs Orbit awards was huge. Curious how this one is gonna play out :)
Loki.Build
For me, the most memorable launch will actually be happening next week — Loki.Build on December 19.
It’s a product we’ve been building for a long time, putting a lot of belief into it, and now we’re preparing intensely for the Product Hunt launch. Feels like one of those moments you don’t forget.

@nikita_40in Can you let us know (aka reach out) on LinkedIn during the launch day? :)
Loki.Build
@busmark_w_nika Absolutely! Will do 🙌
Loki.Build
@busmark_w_nika Hey Nika!
Quick (and slightly crazy) PH story 😅
I was preparing the Loki.Build launch page and realized someone had already scheduled a launch of my product — without me.
Have you ever seen something like this happen on Product Hunt before?
Is this actually okay?
Here’s the link for context:

@nikita_40in Nikita, it seems that you are so remarkable and your tool is so useful, that someone did it sooner than you. I think that @zaczuo was in a similar situation when he hunted a tool, and then the official company reached out to him to delete it(?) because they wanted to do it on their own.
Zac, please, correct me if I am wrong.

@nikita_40in @busmark_w_nika Hey Nikita, yes this does happen occasionally.
The fix is pretty simple: just email the PH team to verify your identity as the maker and ask them to remove the existing post. PH will always prioritize the maker's wishes. If you know the hunter who scheduled it, you could also reach out to them, but contacting support is usually the fastest way.
It's not a big problem, don't worry :)
Look at it from another angle: it usually means your product is unique and interesting enough that someone spontaneously wanted to share it with the community!
Have to agree on the @Stickerboxlaunch. They really nailed it when it came to the content of their launch page:
Simple and easy to understand
With engaging graphics and supporting material
I also really liked the @Tana launch for the same reason.

@therichelliott Tana had really minimalistic graphics designs, clear, better digestible :)
Flowtica Scribe
Hey Nika, thanks for nominating @Flowtica Scribe :))
It means a lot, especially since you've been with us since the beta days ❤️
Totally share your view on the "hybrid" trend. We are really just at the beginning of AI entering the physical world. I think we're going to see a lot more interesting and useful AI Hardware popping up in the coming year.

@zaczuo You made a huge difference when you launched something slightly "unusual" for this platform :)
Interesting question. For me, the most memorable launches tend to be the ones that clearly knew who they were building for and communicated that without overcomplicating things.
I also noticed a shift toward more “hybrid” products — not just software doing everything, but tools that feel grounded in real-world use cases or workflows. Those tend to stick longer in memory than purely feature-driven launches.
On the platform side, changes to pre-launch mechanics definitely stood out. Anything that affects how early supporters gather has a real impact on how launches build momentum, so it’s been interesting to see that evolve.
Curious to see which launches people still remember a few months from now — that’s usually the real test.
