🚀 Codesi is live on Product Hunt today!

Building this over the last year has been an intense ride tons of experiments, failures, restarts, and insights about what people actually want from an AI website builder.

If you're into building in public, I d really appreciate your feedback on our launch page what we did right, what we could explain better, or anything that feels missing.

Your thoughts mean a lot at this stage.

How many of you are gonna invest into your YouTube marketing in 2026?

I realised how important videos are in search results.

This and the previous week, we reached out to many creators for custom videos on various topics that include the client's product. (I gained some overview about prices for such a video and need to say that if things go well, it can be a good investment in the long term).

How I spent ten years on 18 projects to understand the fundamental rule of startups

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.

How do you download YouTube Videos?

A lot of our users keep writing to me for tool recommendation to download YouTube videos or audio. What's you go to tool to download YouTube Videos these days?
Most of them are riddled with ads, sign ups or unnecessary waiting before I can just download a simple video!

What’s Your Vibe Coding Stack in 2025?

AI dev tools are evolving crazy fast , every few weeks there s a new must-try for vibe coders.

Some people are building full products with @ChatGPT by OpenAI and @Replit , others swear by @Cursor and @Claude by Anthropic , and a few are mixing @Lovable + @v0 by Vercel + @bolt.new to ship apps in record time.

I ve been refining my own vibe stack lately, trying to find that sweet spot between speed, control, and creativity.
It made me wonder ,what does your setup look like right now?

The Breakpoint [2025-10-31] - Do early users care about design?

Meow world, welcome back to The Breakpoint, a weekly thread on all things dev tools on Product Hunt.

How can you use Product Hunt to increase your credibility and popularity?

I ve mentioned several times that I see Product Hunt as a social platform, and I can say that over the past almost 3 years, it has helped me in several ways, for example:

Meeting founders and finding a community where I feel among ambitious people
Getting first access to innovative tech products
Gaining publicity being regularly present made me more visible

So how can all of this be converted into increased credibility?

Would you pay more for a product with great support?

Most people think users choose products based on features or price. In reality, support decides who stays.

A cheaper tool becomes expensive fast when every issue turns into a ticket nightmare. Meanwhile, teams keep paying more for products that solve problems and support them when it matters.

Support is not a cost. It is part of the product experience. Fast replies build trust. Clear answers reduce churn. Companies that treat support as a growth lever win.

I really wonder these questions

Founders: what is your favourite channel for growing your audience?

I m pretty sure most founders grow mainly on Twitter. Or LinkedIn.

But I ve realised it really depends on what kind of product you ve built.

If you re a fashion-focused founder, you probably grew up on Instagram or Pinterest.
