Micro Hunts is a community-driven product discovery platform where makers submit new tech products, users upvote the ones they like, and the best launches are showcased in daily ranked lists. The homepage features a live countdown to the next launch, a top projects list ranked by votes, and paid "Premium Plus" spotlight slots for extra visibility.
What is Micro Hunts?
Micro Hunts is a web-based platform for discovering and upvoting the best tech products. It takes product submissions from makers through a dedicated submit page and produces a publicly ranked list that refreshes on a daily cycle. Each product listing includes a description, user votes, and comments, and the site is accessible from any standard web browser.
Key Features
- Project Submission — Makers can submit their products via the /projects/submit page to appear in upcoming launch lists.
- Upvoting and Comments — Every product displays an upvote count and a comments link, allowing the community to rank and discuss launches.
- Daily Launch Countdown — The homepage shows a live timer (e.g., "20h:00m:47s") counting down to when the next batch of top projects goes live.
- Featured Premium Plus Spots — Paid homepage placements that give a product prominent visibility, managed through the /pricing page.
- Categorized Listings — Products are grouped into categories such as Directories, Marketing, and Productivity, accessible via filter links on the homepage.
- Detailed Product Pages — Submissions can include a description, key features, use cases, pricing information, and pros and cons, as seen on the featured products.
Who is it for?
- Indie makers and founders — Launch a product to an audience of early adopters and get feedback through votes and comments.
- Marketers and growth teams — Use Premium Plus Spots to increase visibility for a product launch, driving traffic and awareness.

How does it work?
Micro Hunts follows a countdown-based launch cycle. Makers submit their products ahead of a deadline, and when the countdown reaches zero, a new batch of "Top Projects Launching Today" is revealed. Users then upvote and comment on products over the following days, with rankings shown for today, yesterday's launches, last week, and last month.
Pricing
Micro Hunts operates on a freemium model. Submitting a product and voting are free, while the Premium Plus Spot is a paid feature that places a product in a featured section at the top of the homepage. Pricing details are available on the /pricing page.
