I re-imagined what SaaS product tours should be like. It turned out to be useful for my users 🚀
I've come across so many product tours / onboarding experiences, where some buttons on the UI are highlighted and the user is expected to read through them and click "Next". I've often found myself and few of my friends spam clicking those Next buttons to skip the entire product tour because it's a very intrusive experience.
For my product – https://slantit.app, I tried bringing the best parts...

Hey SaaS founders and designers, would you use this tool?
As the title says, would you use my product https://slantit.app?
I won't describe what it does here as I want the tool to explain itself and see if the landing page and copy is doing their job.
Share any thoughts and feedback you have!

My process is usually taking a screenshot, using Slant it to add a nice 3D touch and effects, then Figma for some text on the image. Has worked really well for me

I normally use QuickTime or OBS. But I was looking for tools to create professional looking demo videos quickly and couldn't fine one so I made Slant it – https://slantit.app which is also what I use 🙌

How do you make marketing assets for your products?
Most software products I've seen (and built myself) usually do screen recordings of their product with a background music for the product trailer. This goes along with screenshots of the app with some text on the side as product images.
I'm curious how other makers go about this. Do you pay someone for these things? Create them yourself? Or don't even bother spending time and effort on...

This list is very nice and useful! I always hesitate to try an app when it asks me to create an account first.
Suggestion: You can also include https://blaze.now.sh which I built for P2P file sharing without any sign-ups

How did it feel to get your first paying customer?
Curious to know how other makers felt when they got their first paying customer for their new product 🙂

I like trying new technologies but some technologies that I think will be in my stack for quite some time include React(with Next.js), TailwindCSS, Firebase Auth, and serverless functions.
Still trying database options, Hasura is extremely good if you are into GraphQL and want to convert your database to a nice GraphQL API. Apart from that, I find Postgres + Prisma ORM very interesting too!

Which part of the product creation process do you hate doing as a solo founder?
As a solo founder and product builder, which part of the process is the most annoying for you? This could be anything that you don't necessarily prefer or enjoy doing but have to do it for your product.
I'll share my pain point - designing logos. Coming up with concepts for a logo can be challenging especially for a dev like me, yet it is something I need for my products.

Interesting product @alyssaxuu, I built something similar a while back too. Omni looks super neat! 👌

Hello Product Hunt,
I started working on UnTab as a hackathon project, to solve my personal problem of searching through dozens of open tabs in my browser. Since then, I have found other use cases that integrate well with the workflow of UnTab, like searching history, doing quick web searches, etc 💡
I have open-sourced this project so that anyone can contribute plugins and themes that can...

Hello Product Hunt,
I built Blaze because I wanted an easier and seamless way to share files between my laptop and mobile without signing up for any service 😇
It uses a direct device to device (peer-to-peer) connection to share files across supported devices and networks. Since it's a web app, you don't have to install any app on your device to share files ⚡
I have been constantly working...
