I have both @Substack and @beehiiv newsletters. Both have pros and cons. But honestly, I don't know what one to commit to. Substack only makes money when I make money but is feature lite. Beehiiv is kind expensive for me (5,000+ subs) and feels like it could even be feature obtuse. Do I need all those features? Do i need any of them? I end up flip flopping every year. So it leads me to this question.

Do you use Substack or Beehiiv? And why?

Hello Everyone!

We're researching how to improve reading comprehension features in language-learning apps based on our own struggles with the disconnected texts often found in traditional platforms. Our vision is to create reading exercises that genuinely connect with learners' real interests, proficiency levels, and learning goals. I won't dive into all the details right now, but we'd love to spark a conversation around this question:

• What types of reading exercises would make language learning more engaging and effective for you?

Looking forward to your insights don't hesitate to share your experiences or reach out directly!

Weird domain names are the unsung heroes of the internet. I used to own pollinate dot me. Basically I was drunk and thought a dating app based on people that liked to garden was a good idea

Happy Friday!

Looking back on your week, what was something you're proud of?

Ever since we launched Product Forums, it's been incredible to see how the community has taken to it and started a ton of insightful conversations. So, we wanted to take a moment and highlight some of the most active community forum members from this week who are making the forums awesome!

• @busmark_w_nika - Nika was the top contributing member in the forums this week! They had a very popular thread asking about the impact of AI comments on social media - Are AI comments a (good) future for social media?

• @merrill_lutsky - The CEO of @Graphite, Merrill, held a super insightful AMA this week touching on code reviews, dev tools, and AI - You're doing code reviews wrong - AMA w/ CEO of Graphite

• @mattisssa - Artem is the maker of @Shorty and kicked off a conversation on @Lovable's product forum about the importance of promotion - Lovable but for Promotion?

• @onbing - Yan is the founder of UIPaaS and, along with joining many different threads, was brave enough to offer up his upcoming product for roasting - Landing Page Roast: 48 Hours Only

• @movitalis_david_manda - David is the CEO of @Movitalis and kicked off an interesting health & fitness related thread about tracking your VO2 more efficiently - Why you should be tracking your VO2 max - and how to do it better

Want to try and make it into the top next week? Leave useful comments and start interesting threads! We'd love to hear from you!

I would love to be able to do this:

-take a screen shot of a page (check)

-paste it into figma (check)

Hey everyone, I ve been playing around with different ways to keep my ideas, research, and drafts in check, but it still feels like I m drowning in research. :P

I ve tried traditional note-taking apps, but they re not flexible. And mind maps? They start out fine but turn into a mess as it gets complex with more data.

Hi everyone, I'm David, cofounder at morgen.so, we are in the smart calendaring and planners space, one that has quite some players.

Is there anyone who's also in a somewhat crowded space, and has some suggestions on the topic of pricing and packaging? Please share any insight, I'll take care of trying to remap to our case.

Notion, Obsidian, and Roam are great, but they re not for everyone. Maybe you found something simpler, faster, or just less overwhelming. What s the one productivity tool you actually stick with the one that makes life easier instead of adding more work?

Hey guys, I need your advice! I'm looking for a landing page builder that's suitable for non-tech people, easily customizable, allows me to add my own domain (and cheap ).
Any proven builders you've used? Thanks!

What is a tool you use everyday but cringe when you have to open them? For me, Excel and Adobe PDF. Replacement recs?

We made a move to @Linear at Product Hunt within the past 6 months. Curious if other startups using @Linear have adopted it company wide. Or is it primarily used by the EPD team and the rest of the company uses different PM tools? And if so, how is it working?

We were previously on @Asana . I like to say I am tool-agnostic, and can adapt our company processes to whatever tool the team will use, but with many project management tools, I had my love/hate relationship with Asana. @Notion works well as our homebase for company and project documentation, brainstorming, etc. and can even work for simple task/project management (I love their inline databases). But if you're looking for more robust tools, I haven't seen Notion up to the task. I have also tried@Trello , @Todoist , @Basecamp , @ClickUp etc at other companies.

I have been playing around with some GPT-4 plugins recently (like the travel ones that book flights for you), and it got me thinking: Could this plugin ecosystem eventually replace the traditional app store model (like on iOS or Google Play)?

Right now, we switch between dozens of apps for random tasks (booking a hotel, checking the weather, ordering groceries), but if ChatGPT can handle all that directly, why would we need separate apps for each thing? It almost feels like a central AI OS.

• Is that too futuristic of a prediction, or do you think it might be coming sooner than we think?

• How do you see this impacting smaller developers does it open up new opportunities or create more competition under one AI umbrella?

I've been using @Google Chrome for years and honestly never thought much about changing. It just always seemed like the best and easiest option. Lately though, I've been feeling like maybe I'm missing out. Chrome doesn't feel like the no-brainer pick anymore, and I'm seeing more and more interesting browsers out there.

Currently, @Horse is my top pick. This is the one I'm most interested in trying out, but it also seems like a pretty different approach. I don't necessarily want my productivity to dip, but that may just be inevitable whenever switching.

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?
