Yesterday @fmerian recommended Googly Eyes from @Sindre Sorhus, which I immediately downloaded! After enjoying the eyes following my cursor around for the day, that got me thinking - what other fun, goofy apps do you all have for your Mac, Chrome, or other devices that don't necessarily serve a purpose other than to bring joy and break the monotony? @Scroll Buddy is another one that comes to mind that I have saved in a collection.

We see productivity apps, AI-based software, open-source products, etc. all the time, but what about your saved products someone made after their 9-5 or on a weekend just to have fun and test their skills?

Hey guys! Non-technical founder here who has fallen into the trap of over-engineering a product (lol). My co-founder and I are now figuring out what exact problem we solve, when we address too many use cases.
How did this start out?
We originally set out to build a privacy-first copilot.

Our heaviest users ended up being marketers, and we had to dig out why (we literally called and went to their offices):
- They had to figure out different tools
- They had scattered data across dashboards, sheets, reports etc.

- They had no time to analyse and dig deep into channels, they're busy executing

I'm seeing a growing trend of B2C products actively advertising their AI features as a USP, claiming AI being the prime solution.

However, being back in my hometown for a weekend, I've heard a lot of apprehension around data privacy and a general lack of understanding "what happens in that blackbox". Nothing I hear very often back in Berlin, so demographic differences are clearly playing a big role in user receptiveness.

Transparency is crucial, no doubt. Advertising AI on platforms like producthunt or in decks for investors makes a lot of sense - that's the right audience.
But are we far enough along the AI adoption curve for "AI-powered" to be a major selling point on the customer-facing side? Or are we scaring off potential users with concerns about data usage and complexity?
Let's discuss!

• Have you seen AI transparency hurt or help your user acquisition efforts?

• How are you addressing user concerns about AI?
