We’ve finished our marathon of submitting Microsoft Store apps to Product Hunt. I’ll be honest: I thought every submission would flop. It really felt like the wrong neighborhood for anything but Mac stuff.

But out of the ten apps we submitted:

6 of the Store apps were featured on the front page (!)

3 of them earned more than 100 upvotes

6 Store developers got their Product Hunt ‘maker’ designations

What we learned

Since the majority of our submissions reached the front page, it’s fair to say that Product Hunt’s users have an appetite for Microsoft Store apps. They may never be as popular as macOS apps, but there are clearly Windows users on Product Hunt who are hunting for new apps to try.

It’s clear, too, that even Mac users want to see submissions for cool new Windows apps, if only to leave a comment wondering where the Mac version is.
