Why this can grow a startup

If users are building on top of your product, their launches are not side stories. They show which use cases are spreading, which creators are worth backing, and where the ecosystem is getting legible to newcomers. Watching and supporting those launches gives the brand more visibility without making every post a first-party campaign.

Company example

Notion said Product Hunt became a place to stay engaged with its builder community. After the Template Gallery and API launches, the company reported that more than 700 makers had launched 900+ Notion products on Product Hunt.
