The product

The kind of name that would fit on a lanyard.

One line, savage, no hedging.

What the browser tab says after the product name. Invented names are unsearchable, so this is the searchable version. 70 characters, hard limit.

You

Pseudonyms are fine.

Never published. It is how the editor replies, and the only reply you will get.

Yours, not ours — “Chief Unhunter” is taken.

The story

Five sections, in this order — the house format and the default. No word-count rule: funny and specific beats a target length. Write it straight. The joke is the seriousness.

The mundane moment the idea mutated from — the queue, the invoice, the conversation you overheard. Two or three sentences, a scene not a biography. Skip it if your Pitch already carries the origin; it usually does.

The idea, played completely straight. Sell it like you believed it, because for about eleven minutes you did. Mechanics, not adjectives: what does the thing actually do, in order, to a real person?

Why it sounded good. The market that looked underserved, the behaviour you thought you had spotted, the “near-zero marginal cost” that always shows up around now. A pitch nobody could ever have believed is not funny.

Where it falls apart. This is the section that earns the piece, so be specific — a number, a mechanism, a regulation, the one operational detail that quietly kills it. “It wouldn’t work” is not a reality check.

The verdict. Short. Two or three sentences is usually two too many.

The worse idea that fell out of the first one while you were writing it. One paragraph. It should be genuinely worse.

The deal

This is entertainment. Treat every idea as public and already set free.

By submitting, you grant ProductUnhunt a perpetual license to publish, edit, and roast it. You keep whatever rights you think you had. We promise nothing.

Do not send confidential plans, client work, or anything you would mind seeing next to Founder needs sleep.

Published ideas may be copy-edited. The joke stays yours; the commas may not.

We can reject or unpublish anything, no debate.

That line is the entry requirement, not a formality. If you are still building it, this is the wrong website.

If the form fails you, ideas@productunhunt.com still reaches a human. Slowly.
