This question is semi-philosophical, but I recall my ex-classmate she had quite rich parents and really didn't need to work. As an only child, she had everything first (all technology, all pricy vacations, they even bought her own flat in 18 + car). Since she had a lot of money from her parents and a lot of free time, she only enjoyed life (some dr*gs and other stuff). As a person, she didn't look like someone who would appreciate money or time at all because it was "normal" to have everything from all above mentioned.
(And I don't want to sound bad, but I honestly don't know what skill she would have that she could use to make a living - the only thing she was really good at was being sassy, which, oddly enough, earned some people's respect.)
Every launch comes with new learnings. The platform is changing over time, but many things don t depend on the platform itself they depend on how you approach the launch: your pricing, customisation, or how early you show up, and more.
What did you learn from your launch, and what will you adjust for next time?
The last 14 days have been mental. Here s why Pretty Prompt has grown faster in two weeks than our previous product did in 14 months . Crazy. Highlights: - 36 new reviews. More than the last 3 months combined. - 1,000+ new paying users signed up. Still can t believe I m typing that. - We gave a talk at Stripe about our story and using LLMs in production. - And on our side, we have been shipping like crazy. This week is Launch Week. Major updates. New integrations. Small but powerful tweaks. Super excited What people are saying: - My productivity has skyrocketed. It just makes sense the second you use it." - Honestly, it's one of those tools that instantly becomes part of your everyday stack. - No friction, no learning curve. Just genuinely better outputs..." - "The time savings compound quickly." - "The output I'm getting from Pretty Prompt is a million billion times better than what I was getting before. Biggest focus: - Refine v2 better refinement, multiple options, context. - Team Plans shared libraries, multi-user support. - Lovable Integration site-specific prompts for Vibe coding Obsessed with making every day better than the last.
And it all started right here in Product Hunt. The best place to launch new products.
At least it was for us.
Your feedback drives what we're building. Try Pretty Prompt and let me know your thoughts!
I keep hearing wildly different answers from teams at different stages. Some say a day. Others say two weeks because design, copy, approvals, and dev cycles stack up. I am trying to understand the real bottlenecks teams face when shipping something as simple as a landing page. Curious to hear how things actually work inside your team.
Yesterday was a wild ride for us. Swytchcode ended up winning #1 Product of the Day on 16th Nov 2025, finishing with exactly 400 votes, something we genuinely didn t expect. We went in thinking the top product would land around 250 300 votes (on a Sunday) but three products crossed 300, and somehow we climbed all the way to the top.
Hello Product hunters and builders! I ve been editing video for 25+ years and keep seeing the same blocker for entrepreneurs and small businesses: talking-head videos feel slow and fiddly. Here s the fastest workflow (5 x 3min) I use and teach:
1) Script (3 min)
Hook (first 5s): state a problem your audience has.
Value: How you solve the problem?
CTA: Clear next step what you want the viewer to do.
Ask AI is built for complex and technical products that answers your users questions in your documentation, product interface, or Discord/Slack community. With your own OpenAI API key, you can use it for completely free as long as you want. It is fully trained on your data, so it directly answers from your sources.
Many brands have their long-standing mascots (McDonald's, Mr Clean, Michelin), etc. But with the development of AI, physical forms are moving online, and AI avatars look promising in this.
On one hand, it feels less human (authentic), on the other hand, AI influencers are a "cheaper" solution.
Two months ago, I'd never heard of Product Hunt. When I told people we were launching @AI Context Flow here, they told me to keep my expectations in check.
Fast forward to today: #1 Product of the Day and #1 Productivity Tool of the Week.
The journey was chaotic, humbling, and honestly surreal. If you'd told me this would happen, I wouldn't have believed you.

My journey in startups began 10 years ago, and I've launched 18 startups, most of which failed. Briefly on why they failed: 1. Contract Online my first startup in 2015, which was supposed to be an online service for remote signing of contracts for any transactions between individuals. A kind of analogue of a secure transaction. For this startup, I even managed to attract a business angel who invested $16,500.
Reason for failure: I had two lawyers on my team who discovered in the process that the legal framework at the time could not provide reliable grounds for protecting our users in remote transactions. The contracts would not have been considered legally signed. 2. Natural Products In 2015-2018, I became very passionate about healthy eating, but in the process, I discovered that products in all chain stores are full of chemicals, and stores with truly natural products are inaccessible to the majority. Hence, the idea emerged to create my own online platform where you could order natural products directly from farmers at affordable prices.
Reason for failure: For several years, I tried to launch this project, even trained as a baker of natural bread and tried to create my own farm, but in the process, I found that few people are willing to pay for truly natural products, even if these products were only 20-30% more expensive than market prices, and not 2-3 times more, as in premium stores. Hence, the market was so small that all my attempts were doomed.
Scheduled my Product Hunt launch for 20th October (Monday) After ViralSort s first launch success and becoming #2 Product of the Day on Product Hunt, I received a flood of feedback, feature ideas, and suggestions.
After 10 months of design, development, and countless improvements, I m back with ViralSort 2.0, a tool that helps you discover the Instagram Reels that made your competitors go viral and manage your entire content journey from idea to upload, all in one powerful dashboard.
So, what s your best advice to make it a successful launch?
I recently read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, and it offered a profound perspective on life. It reminded me that, regardless of our circumstances whether rich or poor, successful or struggling we must stay grounded and practice gratitude daily. Life is fleeting, and the most meaningful way to honor it is by living with purpose, focusing on what we can control, and appreciating the present moment.
