I ve noticed that the purpose of people on Product Hunt is always different. Of course, the vast majority want to become the Product of the Day, Week, Month, or Year (or win Kitty Awards).
However, some are there for the community and their success metrics may lie in something else (e.g. the number of discussions created and rated).
We are currently looking for some new possibilities in the AI era, and browsers seem to be a good starting point. What capabilities do you think browsers should have in the AI era? Or, will browsers still exist in the future?
I'd like to share my thoughts first. I believe an AI browser should be a small AI OS:
Excellent reading experience, with summarization and generalization capabilities.
AI Agent capabilities, with the ability to automate most operations and predict behavior.
An AI Agent Store, replacing the current plugin system.
A good AI browser is a good MCP Services.
A good AI browser must have excellent privacy management features.
So, I ve been toying with the idea of going "Build in Public" for my startup, but I m torn. On one hand, it seems like an awesome way to grow an audience, get early feedback, and build trust. On the other, I ve seen plenty of people burn out or struggle to balance actually building vs. constantly sharing updates.
I guess my main questions are: What s the best way to approach it without it feeling like a second job? Where do you actually build in public: Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, PH, or somewhere else? Any success (or horror) stories from those who ve done it?
