Scott Kiekbusch's profile on Product Hunt

About

I’m a veteran product designer, builder, deep thinker, and curious human who enjoys turning messy ideas into useful tools that solve problems. Right now I’m working on Rooost, a project that helps teams make better product decisions by actually using their user research (instead of letting it collect dust). I come from a background in design, strategy, and storytelling, and I’ve always been drawn to the space where technology meets real human behavior. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me behind a camera, exploring new places, trying delicious food & drink, or deep in a good conversation.

From layoff to launch — excited to be here

Hey folks I'm Scott. I ve been working in UX for a long time, and after being laid off last year I decided to stop applying and start building. That led to a tool I just launched called Rooost chat-ready personas based on product teams' real user research.

Excited to see what others are launching and learning.

I built the MVP. Now I have no idea how to market it….

For those of you who ve been following along first off, thank you. I ve been building Probado, a platform that helps early-stage founders get structured, paid feedback on their MVPs from vetted testers. It s affordable, customizable, and enhanced with AI that helps summarize insights and recommend improvements.

We ve got now 100+ vetted testers onboarded, and the MVP is just about done.

But now I m facing the part that honestly feels the hardest so far: marketing.

What was the very first project you vibecoded with AI?

On Product Hunt, I can see many people launching their products using "vibe-coding tools" like @Lovable , @bolt.new , or@Replit

I reckon many people who created something with them are usually developers who didn't have enough time for building a side idea before, but with AI, they could make it happen.
