General
What is Emerged?
A product-discovery feed. Every product is picked by hand, and your feed learns what you care about instead of ranking by votes.
How is it different from Product Hunt?
Product Hunt shows you whatever got the most upvotes, so products with the biggest communities always win. Emerged has no upvotes. Your feed is ranked for you, not for the crowd.
Is Emerged free?
Yes. Browsing, saving and personalised recommendations are free.
Where do the products come from?
We watch public sources such as Hacker News, GitHub, Product Hunt and Reddit, then review each product before publishing it. We take screenshots of public product pages so you can see a product before you click through.
Your feed
How does the personalisation work?
It learns from the interests you pick when you sign in and from what you save, like and mark not for me. The more you use it, the closer it gets.
What do Save, Like and Not for me do?
Save keeps a product in Saved. Like teaches your feed to show you more like it. Not for me pushes similar products down.
Can I change my interests?
Yes, in Settings, whenever you like. Your feed picks the change up on the next visit.
What are collections?
Named lists. Save a product to Saved with the heart, or into a collection to keep a shortlist separate.
Account and privacy
How do I sign in?
Enter your email and we send you a link. There is no password to remember.
What data do you collect?
Your email address, the interests you pick, and the products you save, like or skip. We use it to rank your feed. We never record what you scroll past, and we do not sell your data.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Settings has an export that gives you a JSON file of your profile, your saves and your collections.
How do I delete my account?
Settings, then Delete account. It removes your rows and cannot be undone.
