How to Submit to Hunt0: A 2026 Walkthrough

Hunt0 is a launch board in the Product Hunt lineage: daily listings, votes, an archive. The format works for launches and does little for authority.

The short answer

The submission is the easy part. What decides whether Hunt0 was worth the ten minutes is whether the listing gets published, whether the outbound link is followed, and whether the page is indexed six weeks later.

What Hunt0 is

A product launch board where submissions are published daily and ranked by community votes. The form itself is at hunt0.com.

Before you touch the form

Read the current front page and note the score on the bottom entry. The daily threshold is public, and it tells you whether this week is worth a launch at all.

Submitting, in order

Pick a weekday
Prepare the first comment
Ask people to look, not to vote
Respond for six hours
Record the final position

One thing that catches people out

Launch on a weekday and be present for the first six hours. Vote-driven boards reward attention in the window, not preparation.

What it is good for

Attention during the launch window, plus an archive page that persists and occasionally ranks for a product name — worth more than it looks during week one.

Checking what you actually got

Search the exact listing title in Google — absent means not indexed
Count how many outbound links sit beside yours on the page
Inspect the rel attribute on the link to your domain
Follow the link and confirm it lands on the page you submitted
Write the outcome in the sheet the same day

Where SaasHunt fits

SaasHunt is the launch half of the same plan: SaaS-specific, publishing at 08:00 UTC, daily and weekly Top 5 with the weekly winners going to the newsletter, and a dofollow link on every approved listing. Free requires the badge and can queue for up to 270 days; Premium at $9.9 skips the queue; Premium Plus at $12.9 adds earliest scheduling and a permanent featured slot; SEO Growth at $49 adds the newsletter and a dedicated review; DR Booster at $50 adds ten permanent dofollow links from DR 30–65 sites.

The daily threshold is public

Vote-driven boards publish yesterday's results. Note the score on the last entry that made the visible list, because that number is the bar for a new submission, and it moves with the size of the audience.

If the bar is twelve votes and your network is four people, the launch is a listing rather than a campaign. Knowing that beforehand changes what you do with the day.

The first comment does the work

The comment under your listing is the only place with room to explain, and it is read by the people who click through. Three short paragraphs: the problem, what you built, what you want feedback on.

Write it before the launch, not during it. Improvised comments read like improvised comments, and the thread is the only durable part of the day.

Ask for a look, not a vote

Asking for votes is against the rules on most boards and ineffective where it is not: drive-by votes from people who never open the product do not produce signups.

Ask for a look and a specific piece of feedback. You will get fewer votes and more of the thing you actually needed, and the board's ranking is worth less than one honest user.

Six hours of presence

The window matters. Most boards rank on a decaying score, so the first hours decide the position and the position decides the rest of the day.

Block the time. Answer everything, including the sceptical comments, and fix the one thing that three people mention — the fix is visible to everyone who reads the thread later.

What the score does not mean

A high finish means the audience liked the presentation. It does not mean the product retains users, and it does not mean the domain gained authority.

Keep the two apart in your own reporting, or you will spend the next quarter optimising launches for a graph that measures nothing.

The archive after the day

The listing stays, frozen at its final position, with a URL that usually persists. That page is the real deliverable of a launch board: a dated mention that ranks for the product name and does not disappear.

Add it to the sheet, check the link once a quarter, and stop thinking about the score.
