Hey PH - today we re rolling out configurable proxies for API-based execution in BrowserBook.

One of the most common reasons browser automations fail in production is bot detection. Captchas, IP reputation issues, geo restrictions, and rate limits can derail even solid Playwright workflows once you start running them at scale.

Guys, a couple of hours ago, the author of this problem, which he published on ProblemHunt about four months ago, wrote. Here is the essence of his message:

 Hello! We've partnered with one of the market leaders in our segment. We had negotiations today we're integrating into their ecosystem for mutual growth and development. Soon our solution will be available to their audience. We did it! 

This isn't a unicorn story. Rather, it's an example of a sustainable micro-SaaS for a niche audience and a local market. Although who knows?

Hey everyone,

I've built my product around traditional SaaS pricing (monthly tiers), but I m starting to wonder if that model is getting outdated, especially with more AI-powered and compute-heavy tools entering the market.
That shift requires real architectural changes, instrumentation, metering, billing logic, and UI changes, not just pricing tweaks. It s something I m starting to seriously think about for my own product.

In particular, AI usage has real COGs (every prompt costs money), and I m seeing more platforms experimenting with usage-based models, or hybrids like SaaS base + usage + overage.

For those of you building AI or compute-intensive tools:

It s almost here for me. In three days, I ll be relaunching a major update for the app I have been collaborating with, and I ve set clear boundaries for myself about what I will and won t do before the launch. I guess these are some general, unwritten rules I try to follow

Definitely DON T:

• Accept offers from charlatans promising votes or engagement for money

• Send unsolicited messages begging for votes or support

• Spam other people s posts with launch announcements

1. Need an AI Jarvis that turns chaotic voice/text updates into automatically structured tasks, projects, and dashboards for managing all of life and work.

2. Hours of manual searching for parts for Chinese cars. Need an AI agent that understands queries from photos or text and finds the part.

3. Online clothes shopping is a lottery. There's no accessible technology to see how an item will fit your body, especially in small stores. It's a pain for the buyer and a loss for the seller.

4. A musician from Lebanon cannot sell his music: streaming pays pennies, and Bandcamp doesn't accept payments in his country. Needs a fair radio-platform with direct sales.

5. VPN users have nowhere to find out if a service will work reliably on their network there is no up-to-date rating based on real-time quality monitoring.

6. It's impossible to order truly fresh farm vegetables and bread through delivery aggregators product quality is low, and you have to go to the market yourself.

New AI models pop up every week. Some developer tools like @Cursor, @Zed, and @Kilo Code let you choose between different models, while more opinionated products like @Amp and @Tonkotsu default to 1 model.

Curious what the community recommends for coding tasks? Any preferences?

This community helped turn a scrappy weekend project into something used by 25,000+ people from all around the world. So it felt right to share this here first:

On Jan 31, we are launching Pretty Prompt 1.0 right here on Product Hunt.

Yesterday, I had an unpleasant experience. For a few minutes, I lost my LinkedIn community of several thousand people (TL;DR: I was falsely accused of using suspicious software).

Fortunately, I got my account back but it was a strong reminder that we don t own platforms, nor our profiles on them.

Hi everyone,

I've been a lurker here for a while, but I'm finally taking the plunge and launching my first solo project this Sunday (Jan 11).

It s a simple private movie and series logger. I built it because I got tired of the ads on IMDb and the social pressure of other apps. I just wanted something mindful that was for me, not for likes.

Since I m doing this completely alone with $0 budget, I m pretty nervous about the 'Launch Day' chaos.

I m noticing something weird happening in solo dev land.

We used to compete on:

• remembering docs

• knowing frameworks

• being a better coder

Now it feels like the real edge is:

Since I haven't been able to meet my work goals very well in the last few quarters, I now plan to approach them more systematically and not push myself too hard on work goals, as that ultimately led to problems that made my plan less sustainable.

So here is my structure and list:

I might be missing some but I've been pretty much in love with @Lovable, @Cursor, @bolt.new and have been trying to use @Replit more and I honestly haven't touched @BASE44 too much but have heard good things. @chrismessina has nudged me to use @Windsurf for whenever I build another Raycast Extension!
Currently I use:
- @bolt.new / @Lovable
- @Cursor
- @Warp
Curious what everyone thinks is the top one so far!
