I used to enjoy browsing PH and learn about all the cool projects people were building. And there were actually very good ideas -- at least in the early days of the community.

I even used to play a game that I've called PH-roulette: I'd open the top 10 or so products in separate tabs without reading their taglines. I then try to guess what they do based on the copy of landing page.

On most days, only one or 2 products had clear descriptions that are actually useful.

I started playing this game out of boredom but ended up learning a lot about what not to do while building my own landing pages.





Would love to read more about your insights. Maybe not here bc OT
