Hey there,

This is a question to anyone that has made a launch on PH recently or is planning for one.

I prepared and launched an offline tool for APIs today.

However, it seems the tool is not visible on the first page, meaning that people need to “view more” to find it. This means that its super difficult to be seen. I have contacted PH support around this and they said that apparently this is normal and that there is a daily curation by the PH team deciding which products are going to “compete” fair.

https://www.producthunt.com/products/open-source-offline-api-client ,for those who want to check and let me know if something could have been better so it could be added in the front page.

I think PH upvotes is a vanity thing so I am not terribly upset, but I still wanted to get your opinions.

Anyway, enough of complaining!

If you are a developer or working with devs, QA or technical writers working with APIs, please share them the tool. Its meant to be an alternative to Postman that is offline, doesn’t need a login and that treats API work like files, with reusable blocks.

This is the tool: https://voiden.md/ and the repo (open source): https://github.com/VoidenHQ/voiden

This is not an app promo community. This is a self-hosting community, and your post doesn't fit here.

~~Locking~~ Removing the post, now that I see there isn't discussion in comments other than your choice of "PH".
