Hey everyone,
I m Zaid, the maker of Phia.

Just finished building the native macOS app after starting with a Chrome extension, and I d love to involve the community early as we shape what comes next.

If you record screens or create product demos:

• What do you usually struggle with after recording?

• What features do you wish screen recording tools did better?

• Are there any workflows you d love Phia to support next?

Whenever I browse product launches, I somehow subconsciously judge not only the product itself and its quality, but also the quality that is reflected in the effort the makers put into preparing it.

It may sound insignificant, but in my case, these things also make a significant difference:

• Icon GIF at the launch it enlivens the overall impression and is dynamic

• Quality graphics and video

• First, a properly filled-out comment

• Photos in the makers' profiles (it's less trustworthy for me when there's only the letter "J" or something similar)

• Whether any of my contacts or acquaintances on the platform reacted to the launch

Hey everyone

Thank you again for the support on Alpie Core, and the feedback from this community meant a lot to us.

Since then, we have finally released Alpie, our most advanced product yet. A full AI workspace where you can now see Alpie Core working in real workflows, and not just isolated prompts. You can use the model with files and PDFs, run research, collaborate with others in shared chats, and keep long-running context organised.

If you were curious how Alpie Core performs beyond single queries, this is where you can try it hands-on.

I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who tried Planelo after the launch and took the time to share feedback, suggestions, and bug reports.

I ve been going through all of it carefully and I m already working on a new update that focuses on fixing the most painful issues first and polishing the overall experience.
An improved version with these fixes will be live very soon

If you want to be part of shaping Planelo further, I d love to invite you to join our Discord community.
That s where you can:

• share feature ideas and improvements

• report bugs or UX issues

• discuss workflows and use cases

• influence what I build next

I am a product designer, not a coder, and so "lowcode" code editors leave me lost. It simply takes too long to ask Claude to step-by-step me through anything I want to do.
I have projects in the works in Lovable.dev and Medo.dev, Anything and Dazl - but yet to get things to work after migrating them to Vercel breakl out of the co-branding that these app-builders like to sneak in (notice the rainbow you see here and there on Lovable-built sites, even whn they use their own domain...?)
Gemini's suggestions:
AI code generation is prone to the "90% Problem," where the final 10% of polish requires significant manual intervention.  

• Bolt.new: Users report that while blazing fast (app skeleton in 20s), it often "shits the bed" when projects get complex, leading to massive token consumption to fix errors .

• Lovable: Praised for UI aesthetics, but its 7-message memory limit leads to "recency bias," causing the AI to get "drunk" on different approaches during long debugging sessions .

• Tempo Labs: While it provides excellent planning features (PRDs and diagrams), some users have reported that its export to GitHub is unreliable, providing only "fragments of code" rather than a full app .

• Blink.new: Emerging as a smoother alternative for full-stack builds, handling authentication and backend integrations with fewer breaks than Bolt .

Strategic Implementation Path

1. Selection (Phase 1): Use Dyad.sh or Anything if you want the most stable backend/auth foundation .

2. Generation (Phase 2): Build your MVP on the Pro tier for 1 month (~$19-$25). Use Discussion Mode to plan changes without burning credits .

3. Sync & Export (Phase 3): Sync your project to a private GitHub repository immediately .

4. Deployment (Phase 4): Connect the repo to Cloudflare Pages for free, unlimited bandwidth or Coolify on a $5 VPS for total control .

5. Refinement (Phase 5): Use Cursor (locally) for further edits. It provides a full IDE environment with better project context for $20/month, allowing you to maintain your "clean codebase" without builder overhead .
   I then asked, about a cheap solution starting with Baidu's Medo.dev - because Medo gives us many credits to start, 100 more/day free, 20 more for 20 clicks on other's projects... So you can build a lot, download, but then have to sort out login and other backend problems. Possible, but takes some doing.
   Gemini's response:

   1. In Supabase Dashboard: Go to Authentication > URL Configuration. Change the "Site URL" from http://localhost:3000 to your actual production domain (e.g., https://your-app.com).

   2. In Vercel Dashboard: Go to Settings > Environment Variables. Add a new variable called NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL and set its value to your domain. This tells the backend where to send users when they click the email link.

   3. In Cursor: If the error persists, open your project in Cursor and ask the AI: "Search for all instances of 'localhost:3000' in the authentication logic and replace them with the environment variable for the site URL.".
      But what about you? What is your process if you are no-code building and shipping?

Hi!

We're live! We need your help!

Most teams I know use tools like Miro or Mural to brainstorm and visualize ideas.

They re great, until you need to actually write things down. Suddenly, you re jumping to Google Docs, Notion, or Confluence just to continue the thought.

That s the gap we re tackling with NodeLand, a space where visual thinking and documentation live together, not apart.

Every AI project starts the same way a beautiful demo, fast results, a sense that this one finally works.

Then, quietly, it breaks.

I recently hit a weird kind of burnout not from overworking, but from being constantly online.

Between coding, Slack, Twitter, YouTube, and checking analytics, my brain never really rests.

Even when I take a break, I open another app.

ok so weird backstory - ive been building products for startups for like 8 years now and i got obsessed with this question: why do products that KILL IT on product hunt just... die?

like were talking #1 product of the day, 1000+ upvotes, features in newsletters, the whole thing. and then 6 months later? dead or making $300/month

I ve been on Product Hunt for over 1,000 days, and honestly, when I first started, I had no strategy.

I knew I wanted to grow, but I didn t have a clear plan. I simply liked the platform, and that was enough motivation to spend time here. That time helped me recognise certain ways to build a personal brand on Product Hunt.

Still feels unreal. A couple of weeks back, I shared how we interviewed with Stripe during their Build Day event in London .

What a day. Full of ideas, conversations, and yes, ice cream . 

I wrote a short article about Stripe Build Day here.

I'm trying to create realistic audio to support scenarios for frontline staff in homeless shelters and housing working with clients. The challenge is finding realistic voices that have a wide range of emotional affect. We are hoping to find a generative approach to developing multiple voices rather than creating voices with actors or ourselves. We've tried v3 Voice Design which expands on monotone generated voices but not much. We want voices that go from soft whispers to screaming and everything in between. Perhaps I'm not very good at prompting, but I've tried various attempts. Again, we're trying to do this without needing to record every voice which is not sustainable for our approach. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Most of us spend half our day typing the same messages again and again follow-ups, status updates, or quick replies.

Typing faster doesn t solve that. Writing smarter does.

That s where Slashit App comes in.

It lets teams:

When you start using @v0 by Vercel, there's one thing that struck: how fast the team ships.

Here's what the v0 team recently launched.

• The v0 iOS app shipped (public beta) Join the waitlist

• Accept payments with @Stripe (public beta)

  • Create Stripe sandboxes with one click to test payment flows

  • Claim sandboxes by connecting your Stripe account

  • Swap in your production keys to accept live payments

• @Claude by Anthropic Sonnet 4.5 rolled out

We ve all been there- the prototype works beautifully, the demo looks magical and then everything breaks when real users hit it.

Sometimes it s context loss.

Sometimes it s API chaos.

SF is buzzing this week, but the question travels: how do you actually meet the right people (cofounders, investors, collaborators, etc.) without burning the night? What works for me: be visible (present/pitch if possible instant context), be memorable (two-liner like I spent a decade in meetings at Apple left to fix that ), and be intentional (goal: 5 useful connections, 1 investor intro keep moving every 3 5 minutes).

Here's my simple framework:

• Intent Target Ask (why you re here, who you need, concrete next step).

• Anchor to the moment ( What stood out from the talk? ).

• Exit cleanly ( Great chat mind if I send that link tonight? ).

I have been around since the GPT-3 days, and one thing I ve noticed with GPT-5 is how careful it has become.

One clear difference between GPT-5 and the earlier 4o model is a kind of hesitation when it comes to certain topics, be it macroeconomics, politics, or anything nuanced.

When I started my newsletter 2 years ago, I used Mailchimp I was familiar with it from previous projects because it offered fairly extensive analytics and testing. The problem was that the articles weren t public. Mailchimp is more suitable for business newsletters like sales offers, etc.

Monetization:

When I wanted to take the next step and monetise, I looked into Beehiiv. At that time, however, I wasn t in the mood to pay the costs without yet earning any revenue in my opinion, Beehiiv has the best monetisation model (subscriptions, ad revenue sharing, sponsorships, etc.). Considering costs...

We re Jeremy & Carla, co-founders of GlobeKin a digital playground that turns kids screen time into real-world wonder.

We re gearing up for our upcoming launch here on Product Hunt and couldn t be more excited to share what we ve been building. Think interactive adventures, DIY demos, and games where kids earn tokens redeemable for real-world rewards like STEAM kits and museum passes.

We d love to start the conversation early:

What are your thoughts on connecting digital play with real-world enrichment?
