POLL: Are you a fan of AirPods? Tell us why in your replies.

It seems like AirPods are a bit like Marmite - you either love them or hate them. While they hurt my ears after I wear them for too long and the sound quality doesn't compare to my over ear Sennheiser I still love my AirPods for days where I'm doing lots of calls on the move or working out at the gym. They are incredibly intuitive and love the tap functionality. What's your view?

Welcome to Makers Festival WFH Edition 🎉

Hi everyone Aaron from Product Hunt here. With the proliferation of work from home mandates over the past few weeks, we thought it would be a great time to host a global, WFH festival that focuses on relief efforts (in any form) for the COVID-19 pandemic. We've seen a bunch of great products build to help with the crisis, now we want to see what you can build. It can be anything from products around self-care, at-home entertainment, ways to combat the spread of misinformation or products for healthcare workers on the frontlines The discussions are your space to get support, collab with other makers or simply just strike up a conversation. We can't wait to see what you build. Registrations are now open here until the 2nd of April

Is the Product Development stack broken in the Post Covid world?

Until just a couple of years ago, most of the companies were marketing driven, or sales driven. Now everytime a recession (or a slowdown) hits, enterprise becomes scrappy. Sometimes, that can cause a systemic shift that stays. Like self serve restaurants (from Great Depression if 1930s). In the hyper-connected digital world of today, the thing that will get affected the most is how Software gets built. Old Way: Most teams relay on bug tracking, or task management. Specs are hardly ever written down, experimentation and A/B testing are seldom followed. While marketing and sales teams have a gazillion products to choose from to optimise their workflow. New Way: Most product teams will bother about business impact of the features they build. Even the smaller ones. Most teams will need to get organised better to ship great products. Collecting customer feedback, prioritising features, writing down the specs and measuring metrics will become as common as numbers are to Sales teams. What do you guys think? --- The Plug : I share my views to promote LightCat.io, Spec'ing and Roadmapping for product teams. It's shameless. I don't care :-)

How do you keep your laptop cool during Summer?

Hey there! I need your help: my MacBook pro was used to a very tempered climate (aka weather) but I recently moved to a warmer region and it's clear that my laptop is not enjoying it at all. How do you keep your laptop from turning into a helicopter on fire? All recommendations welcomed (except the ones suggesting a new laptop ) Thank you!

What's the weirdest domain name you bought?

Sometimes you get a shower thought and the next thing you do is ending up owning a domain for it. Drop the one you own that is weirdly funny :)
