Props to the founder, but what is this article supposed to achieve? Nothing stood out about the process this app/company took. The website seems filled with ads and similar articles.

[I agree.]

From the article:

> The initial product looked nothing like today’s version.

So, the 24 hours part is totally irrelevant. I can build a prototype in 1 hour (just register the a domain and upload an index.html page) and then use the rest of the time to get a better version.

Thanks for your comment, we've actually launched the entire V1 not just an index page but it was definitely due to the fact that we were very familiar with web development.

Hope that helps :-)

> Evan is the founder of Gadget Flow, the number one platform to discover the best products on the market.

Are they bigger than the Product Hunt? I doubt so.

Well the funny thing about "number one" is that it can be defined in so many ways. It's a good marketing tack.

In Japan, seemingly everyone doing commercials is "number one", by that same logic.

Great point, happy to clarify.

We are curating products in a form of a marketplace, we are not a blog or a social media website and that puts us into a unique position. Product Hunt has an open community that contributes content while we curate everything we publish as a brand.

Honestly looks like a site that was made in 12 hrs, and its just a bunch of random cheap chinese made junk. There is nothing compelling about this brand or the products listed. Browsed the site for about 10mins and cant remember one thing that stood out.
