We just hit our 1 millionth upvote on Product Hunt.

Since starting Product Hunt as a simple email list in late 2013, we’ve grown from a small group of friends to a worldwide community of product enthusiasts. We’ve seen products launch on Product Hunt from massive companies like Facebook to independent makers across the globe.

MapHunt.me was created by Isaac at the Product Hunt Hackathon. So awesome.

Upvotes come from around the world, 50% outside the U.S.

It didn’t take many upvotes to reach the top back in the day.

Since then, makers have shared their stories and experiences launching products, as collected on Eric Willis and Mubashar Iqbal’s Maker Success.
