Thank you. The key difference I see is in how visibility is handled. On PH, the system tends to favor products that already have strong user base or team that can mobilize a lot of votes quickly, which can sometimes overshadow smaller, independent makers who don't have the same resources.
Here, the goal is to limit the number of launches per day and the number of votes per user. The under radar feature also gives products a second chance if they don't get enough attention on their launch day, ensuring that timing is not the only factor in success.
I do believe that some level of community support will always play a role, but I hope this system makes it easier for products to get a fair shot even without massive voting power behind them.
Thanks for raising this point, it's something I'm constantly thinking about as the platform grows.
