🗣️ Today's leaderboard is powered by voice

@Wispr Flow launched on Product Hunt back in 2024. Since then it has become one of those tools that quietly sticks. It's the AI dictation tool a bunch of us here use day to day (yes, there are still a few people committed to typing everything out). It works anywhere on your Mac or PC, so you can just talk and have clean text land wherever your cursor is.

For the next three days, it is showing up on the leaderboard in a different way. From April 14 to 16, you can upvote and comment on Product Hunt using Wispr Flow directly. If you use dictation, those upvotes and comments will carry a bit more weight. Try it out by clicking the Wispr Flow unit on the Leaderboard and telling it to upvote a product name

Just got Featured Today! Would be gratefull for more feedback today for ClarifierAI

What it is: ClarifierAI is an iOS keyboard extension that improves your writing with AI directly where you type no switching apps, no copy-pasting.

How it works: You type normally, tap the Clarify button, and AI rewrites/fixes/translates your text inline. Changed words are highlighted so you can tap to revert individual edits you don't like.

The development of App Finder is now being continued!

After a pause of more than a year (because I had to do some other things), I'm now continuing the development, have just released a "first" update, see here.

I plan to work on App Finder now near full-time for the next 1 to 1.5 years, the list of planned features is long :)

What are your favorite business and startup podcasts?

I genuinely love listening to podcasts. It's one of the best ways I've found to stay on top of new trends, pick up strategies I wouldn't have discovered otherwise, and come across founders and operators I'd never stumble on through regular reading.

So I'm always on the lookout for new ones worth adding to the rotation.

Vibe Check is officially live, we'll help discover your time to value

To promote our Product Hunt launch of Vibe Check today, we are offering free evaluations. We are looking for Vibe Coded prototypes to promote and discover their time to value. To take part, just share the link and what journey you'd like to test and we'll provide a link and report on your UX performance analytics.

Here's an example for Vibe Tickets

A thinking simulation like this and a UX performance report like this.

I shipped a free trial based on your feedback. What would make you actually use this?

Hi everyone,

After launching Telea here, I received a lot of valuable feedback from the community. One recurring point was the need to try the product in a real workflow before committing.

Based on that, I ve just introduced a free trial.

We gave AI our entire competitor tracking data and asked it to predict who would beat us.

Six months ago, we ran an experiment with our own data.

At Rankfender, we tracked 5 of our own competitors across 8 AI systems. We log their share of voice, citation velocity, content gaps, platform variance. Months of raw numbers sitting in a dashboard.

I pulled 6 months of data and fed it into Claude. One question: "Based on this, who is most likely to overtake us in the next 6 months? Show your work. Use the data. Don't summarize. Give me the numbers."

The answer changed how I think about competition.

The biggest lie in product building: "ship fast, learn later"

Everyone tells you to ship fast. Move fast and break things. Get to market before someone else does.

I believed this for a long time. When we were building Murror, speed was everything. We pushed features weekly, sometimes daily. We celebrated every deploy like a small victory.

Vote selling on Product Hunt

Every day, after launching, makers are contacted on LinkedIn and X by people offering to sell votes. As the Product Hunt team, we are very much aware of this and really hate it. We have systems in place to neutralize this type of gaming. Every vote counts for a different number of points on Product Hunt. A couple examples:

  • An account with a recently created gmail address and no history of quality contributions on Product Hunt: this vote will count for 0 points. Yes, this might be a well intentioned user, but we take a conservative approach to protect the community. If the account has a company email or applies for verification on Product Hunt, that's a different story.

  • An account with a company email address linked to a legitimate LinkedIn account with a history of meaningful contributions on Product Hunt: this vote carries significant weight.

A couple questions for the community:

  • Are there specific accounts on Product Hunt that you suspect participate in vote selling? You can reply here or email report@producthunt.co

  • What would you want to see us do differently here?

Why Clarity: Caffeine and Focus resonates so well

We're the most caffeinated generation in history, and also the most health conscious.

We already track macros, steps, reps, heart rate and sleep. But there's a hidden variable that effects every single one of these metrics that nobody has even considered.

Spoke to hundreds of businesses in last 4 years, here's what I learned

Over the last 4 years I have spoken to hundreds of companies.

Here is what I learned:

What's the worst advice you've ever gotten about marketing your product?

I'll go first.

Someone told me: "Just be consistent. Post every day. The algorithm rewards consistency."

So I did.

For six months, I posted every single day. Sometimes at 7am. Sometimes at 10pm. Weekends included. I wrote about our product, our features, our roadmap. I followed all the "best practices" hook in the first line, three takeaways, call to action at the end.

What makes you actually try a product on Product Hunt?

I ve been browsing Product Hunt a lot lately, and honestly it s getting overwhelming.

There are so many launches every day that it s impossible to sign up and try everything. At some point, you just run out of time.

Hey PH, we’re back. A lot has changed!

Hey PH long time no see!

Since our last launch, a lot has changed. We re no longer building an AI website builder.

Now we re building a workspace where teams create and use Claude Code-style agents for real work.

Over the past weeks, we ve been focused on one thing: making agents actually usable in day-to-day workflows.

X Launch vs LinkedIn

We went live on X, hit 200k+ views: https://x.com/gauravsbuilding/st...
But I have a feeling we can do better on LinkedIn, what's your experience?https://www.linkedin.com/posts/g...?

Would you stay on a sales call if you knew you were being recorded without consent?

I was on a call with a founder and they asked me to turn on my camera on Google Meet.

I said no citing that they have brought in the call recorder without my consent. I consent for voice recording and summarizing, not video capture.

If Reddit required face scans to prove you’re human… would you still use it?

With AI bots getting harder to detect, there s been growing discussion around platforms using biometric verification (like face scans) to confirm real users.

Cool in theory... Reddit is full of bots, fake accounts and garbage engagement. But let s be real

Reddit without anonymity isn t Reddit.

Brands use employees’ social networks as influencers. But what do employees get out of it?

I've noticed a trend where CEOs of well-known companies are investing more in their personal brands on LinkedIn and X.

However, the level is increasing, and they want something similar from employees.

Run AI completely offline. BrainLoom v1.0.5 adds Local AI (Ollama) + Live Canvas Decks.

Hey Hunters!

When I launched BrainLoom (The Local-First Learning OS) two months ago, the goal was simple: Your second brain should live on your hard drive, not a server.
