Hiring Bias: Would you rather be judged by a biased human or a biased algorithm?

It is a question of choosing between two evils for us now. Neither option is completely free of flaws.

Human: Recruiters with "gut feelings" who harbor unconscious bias. they reject excellent candidates who just didn't go to the "right" school or didn't just "click." Inconsistent, unfair, and un-auditable.

AI: Algorithms whose training datasets are themselves replete with historical biases. They increase the scale of discrimination at light speed, becoming so-called black boxes that end up rejecting qualified candidates for reasons that humans cannot even fathom.

We are truly deciding to exchange messy, subjective human prejudice for cold, ruthlessly efficient algorithmic prejudice. Is that really an upgrade?

Founders, let's talk about the growth grind.

Building an amazing product is one thing. Getting it seen, acquiring users, and scaling ads efficiently? That's a whole different beast. It often feels like a constant battle against budget burn and complex platforms.

The Power of Clean Colors, Whitespace & Minimal UI/UX Design

In a world overloaded with digital noise, @SK-iTPRO , founded by @sagar_keshwala , champions a design philosophy that s refreshingly simple - yet remarkably effective.
Rooted in clean color palettes, purposeful whitespace, and a minimalistic approach, @SK-iTPRO designs aren't just aesthetically pleasing - they re strategic.

Why Clean Colors Matter :

Colors aren t just visual decoration - they re communication tools. @SK-iTPRO leverages clean, modern color systems that create emotional clarity and enhance usability. Whether it s calming neutrals or high-contrast accents, the goal is always the same : make the user feel comfortable, confident, and in control.

The Role of Whitespace :

What’s the psychological price ceiling you’d pay for software?

There s an interesting trend unfolding.

Most major AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude etc.) started with friendly $20/month plans. It felt accessible, almost casual.

Is interacting with AI characters becoming the norm for you? (Your POV)

Common Sense Media published a report on this topic, and it reminded me of how big a bubble I live in.

When Meta announced back in 2024/2025 that they wanted to create AI avatars to boost engagement, I was skeptic, but data speaks clearly  young people enjoy AI interaction.

how do you get quality feedback to understand if your product is viable?

Hey everyone,
We are doing everything we can to gain insights and get feedback on our app. The people that trial our app do not seem open to discussing their experience or providing feedback so I thought I would ask fellow founders how you overcame this and where you go to get insights and feedback on your app.

Thank you in advance for any help.

What’s the most effective way to make real progress on your product?

One thing I ve seen across multiple startups I ve worked with: progress often gets stuck.

Endless planning. Too many async updates. Not enough actual momentum.

Launching in August… am I about to make a huge mistake?

I m launching a product for the first time on Product Hunt and, while I ve done my research (and read waay too many launch checklists), I d really love to hear from this community directly. We re set to go live the first week of August, which I m slightly nervous about timing-wise, since this is most people s down time for the summer. Has anyone here launched during August before?

Should you launch often on Product Hunt?

Many teams still treat launching on Product Hunt as a one-time thing, like something you do once and move on.

From working with teams who use Product Hunt strategically, I ve seen a different pattern, and I d love to share it here.

What’s one problem at home you wish technology could solve?

We (Intecular.com) develop products designed to quietly improve everyday life, and it s had me thinking a lot about the little frustrations we just live with.

So, here s my question:

What’s the #1 mistake you keep seeing on Product Hunt launches?

It s especially frustrating when it happens to someone you actually know, not just another random launch in the feed.

I met this guy on Twitter a while ago. We vibed. Chatted for weeks.

Exchanged ideas, helped each other, the build-in-public energy.

Web accessibility shouldn’t be this hard in 2025. We're fixing that!

Hey PH I m Ran, co-founder of Equally AI.

We ve been quietly building something that makes the web suck less, especially for people with disabilities.

Because right now, even well-meaning teams are struggling to build accessible websites.
