Hey Product Hunt Community!

I ve been watching the discussions here over the holidays, and it s inspiring to see so much passion. But it also got me thinking. After 35 years in the entrepreneurial world, I ve realised that my biggest mistakes didn't happen because I wasn't working hard enough they happened because I was running on an empty battery.

As founders, we are obsessed with "optimisation." We optimize our code, our funnels, and our growth. But this week, I m trying something different: I m optimising for rest.

I ve spent the last few days intentionally stepping away from the screen. Not to plan the next pivot or to "reflect on KPIs," but to actually let my mind go quiet. I m finding that the better I use this week to truly recharge my own energy, the more excited I feel about 2026.

It s a strange feeling to not be "productive" for a few days, but I m learning that my energy levels are the most important asset I have. If that battery isn't green, nothing else I build will be sustainable.

I'm building My Financ , which is a tool that allows you to understand your finances, and plan for the future.

I launched on PH in September, got some users and have been iterating.

Hello everyone, I'm Christian van Gils, Co-founder of PulseBoard.

For my entire career, I've been a dedicated entrepreneur. I successfully built and ran a media agency for 12.5 years, followed by a software company that I recently and successfully exited after 22 years.

Now, I'm redirecting all of that experience, knowledge, and entrepreneurial drive toward a single mission: making 2026 a healthier year by focusing on people.

The Mission: Beyond Software

AI has dramatically reduced the cost of exploration, drafting and iteration.
But it hasn t reduced the cost of judgment.

In fact, judgment has become more valuable.

Guys, over the past 3.5 months, we encountered one significant issue at ProblemHunt:

1. Many contributors who shared problems aren't very motivated to provide feedback to developers for various reasons. Even among those willing to give feedback, not everyone agrees to work with more than 3 5 different developers (for context: currently, one contributor receives messages from 7 15 people on average). And without quality feedback, it s difficult to clarify all the details and build a great product.

2. To solve this problem, we talked to some of the contributors and found out: they are willing to provide feedback much more actively if they can receive 1% equity in the future startup. According to them, this would give them strong motivation to help with advice and actively participate in testing.

3. Therefore, we decided to run an experiment over the next few months. Now, in the problem submission form, contributors can optionally indicate that they want to receive 1% equity in the future startup. And we will mention this in the publication for you.

4. By the way, if you currently have a problem and also want to get 1% equity in a future startup, you can seize this opportunity right now on ProblemHunt!

Hey Product Hunt

We re building IMAI Studio to solve a problem we kept seeing over and over: creating high-quality product visuals is slow, expensive, and hard to scale. Photoshoots, revisions, re-shoots for new angles or campaigns it all adds up, especially if you have a growing catalog.
