This is such an underrated insight. If people feel scared, judged or bored they simply won’t use the tool, no matter how good the tech is. We’ve felt this deeply while building Vidopix. When you work with things like creativity, reactions or authenticity, the interface sets the emotional tone. A cold, forensic UI makes people defensive. A curious, friendly one invites exploration. That’s why we...

Vidopix: Explains why videos work or fail and what to change at each moment before promotion.

👋 Founder here. Quick context: we built this after watching teams publish videos they thought would work — and then realise too late where people dropped off or disengaged. We’re curious: • For creators — what’s the hardest part of knowing if a video will work before publishing? • For teams/brands — what’s the one question you wish audience data answered instantly? Brutally honest feedback...

This resonates hard. The real problem isn’t the pitch but it’s the black box after “Send.” No signal on what landed, what confused or what actually mattered. So founders walk into calls defending instead of leading. Context > polish. Feedback > silence. Curious to know from others what’s the one signal they wish they always had after sharing a deck?

I think there’s a lot of nuance here. Trying multiple ideas, especially early on is often how people learn fastest. At the same time, what really builds trust over time is seeing at least one journey carried through the unglamorous middle. Staying, fixing, scaling, or even shutting down thoughtfully. On LinkedIn, it’s less about the number of “Founder” titles and more about the story and...

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Atique here, founder of Vidopix. We launched here in September 2025. Today, we're back with a major update and expanding to the US & UK. ## THE PROBLEM Our team has spent 2+ decades at Disney, Sony, ITC, GroupM, and IPG Mediabrands. We watched the same pattern repeat: → Brand creates video based on gut feeling → Publishes without testing → Spends millions on...

@busmark_w_nika For me, consistency matters more than correctness. Most people stop posting way before they learn anything. Algorithms and audiences are unpredictable. The only way to understand what works is to keep showing up

Everyone wants AI that wows, not AI that works. The boring tools don’t trend! They just quietly make founders breathe easier. And that’s exactly why they’ll win.

@busmark_w_nika ...Honestly, I don’t think it’s possible. If it really was, we’d already be scattered across other planets by now. There’s a reason, a force that’s kept us all anchored to Earth. Maybe we’re meant to fix what’s here and not escape it!

Great points @busmark_w_nika ! I’d add one more that has worked really well for me... Respect the influencer’s creative freedom. Brands often over-script campaigns, but the truth is that audiences connect because the influencer has their own authentic voice...Give them clear guardrails, yes, but allow them to adapt the message in a way that feels natural to their community... That’s usually...

My own company Vidopix, Gamma.app (because it’s revolutionizing how we create decks & sites), and Gener8 (love their mission of giving users control of their data)

The most ridiculous thing I’ve blown money on? Too many SaaS subscriptions - $9 here, $19 there, $49 there… and suddenly you’re bleeding hundreds every month on tools you barely log into. On the flip side, the best thing I’ve spent money on has been Gamma - it’s been a total game-changer for building decks and sites without overthinking design or code. Lesson learned: not every “must-have” app...

I’ve been using @Gamma for over a year now, and honestly, it’s a game-changer. Creating presentations or websites has never felt this effortless - no code, no complications, just clean, intuitive design powered by AI. The built-in AI tools for text and image generation save hours of work, and the results are consistently impressive. One of my favorite features is how you can simply paste the...

Relatable! 😅 Not just pitch decks. Our website has gone through multiple overhauls too. After 6–7 months of iteration (and plenty of so-called ‘final’ decks), we’ve finally settled on a version we’re confident about. Both the site and the pitch. Feels good to reach that point of clarity… at least until the next curveball comes along. 😉

I’ve felt this a lot. For me, when things get rough personally, I stop expecting myself to operate at 100%. Instead, I shrink my focus. I pick just a couple of things at work that truly move the needle and let the smaller stuff wait. I also lean on my team more during those times and remind myself it’s okay if I’m not the strong one every single day. What helps is giving space to the personal...

I go for the mix of fresh ideas and fresh connections. Learning what’s next in tech while building relationships that often turn into clients, partners, or just good sounding boards.

I’ve been in sales all my life, and giving up is just not something salespeople are wired for. Think about those bankers who cold-call to sell credit cards or home loans - most of the time they’re met with rejection and even rudeness. But they still show up the next day, and the day after that, with the same persistence and even a smile in their voice. That’s the mindset I try to carry with...

Honestly, our most “unsexy” decision at @Vidopix – Video is the New Data was spending months training our AI on 4.4M+ videos across 250+ languages before we even thought about growth. It felt like endless grunt work — tagging emotional cues, building contextual layers, paying for compute when there was zero revenue to show for it. There were days I wondered if it was worth it. But looking back,...
