One day SteemHunt will be the number one place to search for new gadgets and interesting products across the web, and because it's powered by a community you know the cream will eventually rise to the top.
But enough of the preamble. Let's take a look at the best places to find products to list on SteemHunt.
Where to Find Cool Products for SteemHunt?
ProductHunt.com - This is the obvious one because this is the site SteemHunt was initially modeled on.
Kickstarter.com - Kickstarter is the most popular crowdsourcing platform and often has some really cool products to share.
Indiegogo.com - Indiegogo isn't too far behind Kickstarter and is also another great platform to find new crowdfunded gadgets.
Launchfeed.com - A list of products coming to market really soon. may also include Beta Releases.
Launchingnext.com - And interesting site filled with products you might want to keep an eye on. Some are still at concept and others might already be at Beta.
AppStore - The Apple App store is another excellent place to find new apps. Just check out the trending sections.
PlayStore - Similarly the Android Play Store is full of new and interesting apps you can share on SteemHunt.
Github.com - If you've been tracking new Open Source apps, you can even share these on SteemHunt too. However, maybe hang out until a stable version is released.
BitBucket.org - Another Open Source Community full of exciting new apps.
And the list goes on.
But remember SteemHunt doesn't accept products from blog articles, social media posts, news articles or even stores like Amazon and NewEgg.
** Not being able to list products on retail sites certainly leaves a gap in the SteemHunt product suite because sometimes cool gadgets like sports drones are iterated really quickly and the manufacturers rarely publish formal web pages before sending to the market. Which doesn't make it less cool or shareworthy?
IMHO, if a product is available to buy it should be shared with people who want to find the latest cool stuff on the web.
