Find interesting community members and see how you stack up
Product Hunt is known for its lively and friendly community. To accentuate different ways you can be active in the community, we built a leaderboard for community members. Ranking highly will give you exposure as well as lend credibility to your content. We also want to showcase the various ways members of the community can participate and build stories around those participants.
This update to Kitty Points comes with two big updates, one visible and one more backend.
The visible update is a brand new leaderboard! And it's not just an all time leaderboard. If you just discovered Product Hunt in the last year, month, or even week it could be a bit daunting to see some of the Kitty Point totals that long time members have accrued. At the same time, we want to give a huge shoutout to our community members who have been around and consistent for years and have contributed a ton of phenomenal content to the site. The answer to this is a leaderboard that shows the top users by Kitty Points per week, month, year, and all time. This means every week you have a new chance to climb the leaderboards and get higher visibility on your profile and what you're building or posting.
The less visible, but still exciting, part of this update is that we've re-worked how Kitty Points are calculated on the back-end. I'll say, this part of the project was the closest I've ever come to feeling like a game designer! We also want to be more upfront about what you can do to earn Kitty Points. You can't play the game if you don't know the rules! So, here are the all of the contributions that will earn you Kitty Points:
Being the Maker of a launch
Being the Hunter of a launch
Posting detailed reviews
Creating discussion threads
Leaving meaningful comments
For all of those, content and impact matter. Being the Maker of a featured product at the top of the leaderboard will obviously gain you a lot of Kitty Points. As Matt mentions in his comment, Product Hunt is launch forward, but there are a lot of other ways to contribute to the community as well. A large part of the backend changes we've made open the door for other types of contributions to gain you more Kitty Points than in the past. So even if you're not a Maker, you still have the chance to contribute to the community and climb the leaderboards. And if you're curious, you can check out our help center for more information around what kind of content aligns with Product Hunt's guidelines.
We've built this to elevate and show off the members of our community who are helping us create an incredible space to discover, evaluate, and discuss incredible products being created by excellent people in tech. I'm very excited to see who shows up on the leaderboards every week!
I also want to give a massive shoutout to @catt_marroll who did a tremendous amount of work taking the new Kitty Points formula and making it work on a weekly, monthly, and yearly basis (something we've never had before!) and building a really awesome and fun leaderboard page around it.
