Shout out your favorite new product you absolutely love using (that’s not yours)

What s a recent product you ve started using that you absolutely love?

Maybe it solved a real problem, has great UX, or just brings you joy every time you open it. Bonus points if it launched here on Product Hunt.

I decide what's featured on the leaderboard - AMA w/ Gabe from Product Hunt

Hi everyone, Gabe here! I lead curating Product Hunt's leaderboard.

First thing I will say is that if I could feature every single product that works, I would. I love supporting makers and demoing products. I actually try to test every single thing that gets hunted every day... which is A TON.  But I view our job as to surface the most interesting, novel, useful, and innovative products - daily. Now we may not always get it right, the process isn't perfect, but we're trying to do right by the community.

Is Product Hunt the best place for AI partnerships? Can we earn together? 💸

Most people think of Product Hunt as a launchpad for new products. But what if it could be more? At Intelswift.com we're building an AI marketplace where AI-powered customer service tools seamlessly integrate with other platforms. And we re looking for integration partners who want to grow with us! If you're an AI product, CRM, or helpdesk solution, let s talk. Maybe PH isn t just a place to launch but a place to build partnerships! https://www.producthunt.com/post... Who else here is exploring partnerships through PH? Let s connect!

How many hours do you think a workweek should have? (And what's the answer from big companies)

The standard we've known since Henry Ford's time is 40 hours a week.

However, today I came across this article:

Google 60 hours a week is what it demands from its engineers.

How to make your launch go viral - AMA w/ CEO of Wispr Flow

LIVE March 13th at 12:30pm PT
Hey everyone, CEO of Wispr here.

We did two product launches over the last five months, both went viral on X, LinkedIn, and ProductHunt, and helped us build a large audience in a short period of time.

Chrome broke keyboard shortcuts! (via search engines) - HELP

Chrome's latest update broke hundreds of keyboard shortcuts I've made over the years using their edit search engines feature, and I cannot find a workaround. I basically can't use my browser anymore. It's killing me.

Does anybody else use keyboard shortcuts to navigate to websites? What's the workaround? I'd be willing to switch browsers or install a dedicated app. I just would really love to preserve all the keyboard shortcuts I've made.

Should we ban AI coding for specific industries?

With all the excitement and hype around AI coding, there's a thought that bothers me.

AI makes mistakes. A lot. Some goes into production.

How (not) to gather first users when you are an unknown brand. May be helpful to new product makers

From testing new products, I've come to several conclusions and possibly also identified mistakes that product creators make when launching them.

Whenever you want to attract your first testers (especially those who are well-known), try first to build up your credibility.

OpenAI launches new tools for building agents

On their livestream today, OpenAI just released a bunch of new tools for reliably building and using AI agents. From what I can tell, this is what's new-

New APIs:

  • Responses API - a new multi-modal API that builds on chat completions to allow for the next-generation of tool calling, starting with the new tools announced today.

What do you prefer for brainstorming - Miro, Figjam or other?

Here at Product Hunt, we found that we were slowly shifting away from @Miro and defaulting to @Notion for typing up brainstorming notes during meetings (we use @Tandem so already have built-in breakout rooms, ambient music options and timers).

So we decided to cancel our Miro account and continue to use Notion or switch to a Figjam board if we really needed a sticky notes format (we're already using Figma so it helps reduce the number of tools we are using). *Spoiler alert: we haven't needed to use a sticky note board yet...

Do you think software will lose its value as a product to build?

Building software is literally getting easier and easier. What I ve noticed is that just a few years ago, you really needed knowledge, a team, and solid know-how to make the whole process work.

But now, with all these tools popping up on the market almost daily like Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, and so many others it s incredibly easy to build software.

What are the biggest collaboration challenges between Product and Eng teams?

As a PM at Lyft and now building a tool to help PMs and engineers collaborate better with each other and other stakeholders, I ve seen firsthand how difficult alignment, documentation, and decision-making can be. Curious what s been your biggest challenge working across Product and Engineering while building and aligning on documentation, and what has actually worked for you?"

What task management software are you using?

Over the years working for agencies I've become quite familiar with tools like @asana and @Jira , also with @Trello for personal projects. But I was wondering, are these the most used or are these just the ones I've been exposed to? Are there better options? Would love to hear your thoughts down below!

What its like being a new founder/owner

Hi guys, I am a new founder of an AI agency, Think Bridging AI.

My journey started last year in July when I suddenly had to drop out of 3rd year Mechanical engineering. Honestly, I always wanted to start my own thing and so I was quite excited to finally try it out. Unfortunately, the reality hit, when all those, 'get rich fast', 'get leads fast', and 'get your first customer in 7 days' Youtube channels burst my bubble.

It's not that easy. I still have a client or 2 in the pipeline which took 6 months to get, 100s of emails sent, and stress levels through the roof.

I’ve been waiting too long for this moment...

Hey everyone!

I ve been following the incredible launches on PH for years, always admiring the products that come out of this community. But I never really took the step to launch something myself. I tried a few times, but every time, I felt like my product wasn t ready enough.

Cursor is now my go-to for PM work—goodbye Google Docs!

Recently started consulting with a startup, and I ve fully switched to Cursor for all my PRDs and PM needs no more Google Docs or anything else. I ll never go back!

With MCP, I ve even connected Google Docs, just in case I ever need it right inside Cursor itself, haha.

Oh, and I m nudging the devs here to try Cursor too slowly moving them away from Copilot.

What do you think the future looks like for developers when it comes to AI?

ICYMI: @levelsio shipped a flight simulator game last week. It's pretty fun, it's got some low poly / minecraft-esque graphics, pretty good physics, a turbo boost, and even PvP. The kicker is he built it, at least the version one anyway entirely by prompting @Cursor.

It got me thinking about a question that a ton of people have tried to answer in the past few years; What does the future look like for someone getting into development?
