I get why you see the need for this product. However, as someone who launched on PH and got featured w/ a team of two and no financial backers, I think the point is that it should not be easy to get featured.

PH does a great job of putting filters in place to ensure only the 'best' (whether by polish, value prop, or combo of both) products end up making it to the top. It really forces makers to put their absolute best foot forward when launching.

Not true at all. Top of product hunt features the products that spam people for upvotes the most, or already have the most social media followers.

Nothing to do with polish

I get your point, but the issue with PH’s new algorithm is that it tends to feature only certain products, regardless of effort. Simple Lister isn’t about making things easier, it’s about giving everyone an equal chance to be seen, no matter their resources. It’s about fairness, not lowering the bar.
