It's reasonably easy to approach people on the site and ask for an invite.
Also, we posted the site to our social media accounts, and were fortunate that one of them posted us on Product Hunt, it wasn't planned that way, we were going to list ourselves later in the week when we had more content
I wasn't criticizing you for getting lucky and someone else posting it for you, and kudos for what you were able to accomplish. I was just saying that PH appears to be a tough nut to crack for anyone not well connected/known in SV. It's not truly a list of the best products; it's a list of the best products that well-connected SV people have created or like.
