Abele Maketsi's profile on Product Hunt

About

I’m a detail-driven and results-oriented Senior Accountant with several years of experience in financial reporting, budgeting, and end-to-end accounting operations. I bring a strong track record of maintaining accuracy, ensuring compliance, and supporting strategic business decisions through data-driven insights. My expertise spans financial statements preparation, month-end close, variance analysis, and tax compliance, along with hands-on proficiency in ERP systems like Sage Business Cloud, Sage Evolution, QuickBooks, and Zoho Books. I’m equally comfortable digging into the numbers as I am collaborating cross-functionally to streamline processes and support operational goals.

Is adding new AI tools to your stack a game-changer, or just shiny object syndrome?

Every week a dozens of new tools drop on Product Hunt, promising to "10x your workflow."

I used to test every new launch out of FOMO until I realized half my workday was spent configuring apps instead of building.

How do you evaluate new launches without wrecking your focus?

What platforms do you like for distribution and marketing?

I have tried quite a few platforms for distribution. Reddit is among those platforms which can be considered good to get customers. It is not because I got a lot of customers from there, but rather it has almost all type of audiences for people to get started. People also suggest to post on IndieHackers platform, but personally, that is not where your market exists unless you target indie devs or so.

I have seen posts where people tell that they have started marketing via cold outreach, ads, social media (tiktok, instagram), but that didn't work at all in my case.

What do you think? Do you think there could be a universal method fo indie devs to market?

Why is maintaining a streak in habit apps so tiring?

I ve lost count of how many habit tracking apps I ve installed and eventually deleted over the last few months.

They usually start off feeling super motivating for the first fortnight. But as soon as life gets busy and I inevitably break a 10-day streak the whole experience turns into a guilt trip instead of a helpful tool. The constant daily reminders just end up feeling like spam notifications.

Lately, I ve been thinking simple physical journals might actually work better than phone alerts.

How do you keep track of your daily goals without relying on gamified apps?
