Don't use the term "hunt" in the name, to me it just screams "dupe" instead of something unique. Go the route of improving what PH has and adding things that are missing.

Some ideas: - Users should be able to update their post to some extent.

- There's no "product page" in your app, build something where I can see people commenting, reacting, and maybe even sharing their own screenshots of it because that's something PH does pretty well but can be improved.

- "LAUNCHES WORTH YOUR SCROLL" sounds kinda cringe, change to something like "Find the next best thing" or make it random on load and have a few less in your face versions of it. Reddit has "homepage of the internet" which seems appropriate. You can have "have you launched yet?", "find the next best thing", "what's trending today"...etc

I have more ideas, feel free to message me or drop a way to contact you if you'd like more feedback :)

Maybe not, “next best thing,” I don’t know about American English but in British English next best means second best.

At least in American English “next to best” would mean second whereas “next best thing” means something likely to be the best thing in the near future and it’s a very common idiom.

i am american and think "next best thing" means second best. maybe "next big thing" would be better but is a bit generic

To jump in on the confusion, I'm American and have seen it used both ways, completely dependent on context. When I read the original comment I understood it as 'next thing that we all think is best' rather than 'second best.'

But after reading the comments and thinking on it, I realize it's probably used more often in the context of 'second best.'

I think you might be referring to the common american english idiom "next big thing", as "next best thing" means 2nd best in american english as well.

Note that "next bigGEST thing" also means the 2nd biggest thing.

		This is the common usage in my experience (US).

Do you not have sentence structures along the line of "I wanted the premium model but it was out of my budget so I went for the next best thing"?

I get we're trying to go for "next [best thing]" but yeah I (also UK) read it as "[next best] thing" and can't think of any examples where I'd read it as the former

i guess it's somewhat ambiguous here, but "next-best" would be second-best, while "next best" means "future best"

It really is an unfortunate name. How do you pronounce it, hunt lie? Hunt Lee? I'm not sure, but my first impression was it was a portmanteau of hunt and lie, which wouldn't be something I'd want my startup to be associated with
