We ve been growing really fast (30%+ MoM ARR) at @Basedash since launching last year. Most of that growth has been the result of hard work, but we ve also had a secret weapon: an AI agent that acts as both a data analyst and a PM, working 24/7 to optimize our product s activation and conversion rates.

For decades, companies have been making product decisions based on intuition and manual data analysis. We wanted to see what would happen if AI could take the wheel completely.

Every year I reflect on how I spent money in the previous year. Previously, I have manually scraped my bank statements and put together a report, but 2025 was interesting because I built a fairly overkill personal finance product to make this report easy to generate for myself.

Because it is really easy, I m going to do a deep dive on how I spent money in 2025. (I was able to put this all together in ~10 mins)

According to the 2025 @Stack Overflow Developer Survey (49,000+ participants), @VS Code and @Visual Studio remain the most used dev environments, despite the rise of subscription-based, AI-enabled code editors @Cursor and @Windsurf among others. Both maintain their top spots relying on extensions as optional, paid AI services like @Github Copilot and @Kilo Code.

Curious which IDE the Product Hunt community uses the most?

I'm a software engineer. I'm used to using an IDE + git to manage complex code. And, I'm leaning more and more heavily on AI to write my actual code.

Hex has its own revision control and audit trails (via git export), but git syncing is one-way; I can't make edits and sync back to Hex. And, it has its own AI magic, but it is pretty limited (and I don't have control over it).

As Cascade has gotten better, we noticed that the tasks users are giving it have gotten more complex. Instead of just asking Cascade to make simple edits, users are relying on Cascade to build out entire features, perform large refactors, and implement PRs end to end. More complex tasks mean longer prompts with more information which can often be laborious to type out. In this wave, we re bringing voice support to Cascade. This means that users can just speak to Cascade rather than having to type things out (though it doesn t talk back yet)

I love @Cursor. It's enabled me to build (vibe code) so many web apps, sites, extensions, and little things quickly that 1. bring me joy and 2. help me with work or realize personal projects.
However... I'm seeing a TON of movement around @Claude by Anthropic's Claude Code. I haven't personally tried it but it's apparently insane (and can also be expensive?)
I'm curious. Should I switch? What are you currently using? Or do they both have their own use case. I right now like cursor because I can build directly in a GitHub repo or locally and it helps me learn my way around an IDE.
Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts!

Hey Product Hunt

Dave here I lead design at Warp, and today our team is thrilled to debut Warp 2.0, the first Agentic Development Environment (ADE). We just achieved a 71% SWE-bench score and ranked #1 on terminal-bench, making Warp the most powerful coding agent in the world. Check us out on the leaderboard for more details!

We ve put a lot of work into our UI to give you a great time-blocking experience. Unlike most calendar apps, time-blocking tools are meant to be filled up for the day, leaving very little white space. That extra colour density can feel overwhelming! Try filling a whole day in Google Calendar s day view with coloured events and you ll see what I mean.

We really value your feedback, so before we tweak the UI we want to make the right choice. Below you ll find our original task colours alongside a new option we re considering. Cast your vote for your favourite, and we ll take it on board.

If you have a feature idea or any other suggestion, just email us at support@chunkapp.net.

Hello everyone!

I'm Chandan, founder of Geekflare, a leading business & tech publishing platform. More recently, I'm building Geekflare AI.

Product Hunt has launched a significant reconfiguration of the product hub embedding launches within a company's or hub's frame:

@catt_marroll reminded me of @natfriedman 's website: https://nat.org/ - in particular the section "Some things I believe" which I really like.

There's also https://amasad.me/ from @amasad and the classic https://www.paulgraham.com/.

I ve been building apps for 3 years little to no success. Recently, I launched my first successful startup Yadaphone. It lets people and teams make cheap international calls from the browser. In under 3 months, it reached 1500 users, 7 enterprise customers, and brought in $15,000 in revenue.

Before that, I thought I had a clear idea of how indie hacking works: you build something, launch it, get users, and continue doing the same stuff as at the start, but on a larger scale (and get $$$). That couldn t be further from the truth. Here are the top problems I wish someone had warned me about.

Sometimes it s not the flashy feature or full redesign that moves the needle it s that tiny update that just clicks with users.

I d love to hear from other makers/founders:

What s a small tweak, feature, or decision you shipped that surprisingly improved retention, UX, or just made your users go, Finally! ?

Could be as small as:

We asked ourselves: What if many individuals could put just $10 into clean energy projects?
That's how Climatize started. Because when more people can take part in climate action, the impact adds up.

Our investment platform allows everyday investors, like you and me, to help fund vetted renewable energy projects across the U.S. It's built so anyone can support climate action without needing a finance background or a high net worth.

Hello everyone! Matthias here. As Chief Product Officer at KAYAK, I lead our AI initiatives and development of intelligent travel interfaces.

First thing I'll say is that AI in travel is deceptively complex. Many companies claim to have "solved" it, but most solutions fall short in critical ways - either they don't access real-time pricing, they hallucinate travel information, or they create frustrating user experiences.
