Quick question for SaaS founders: How do you figure out why trial users don't convert?

I'm talking to founders who struggle with trial-to-paid conversion. Most of the ones I've chatted with say the same thing:

"We get signups, but users go quiet after a few days. We have no idea what went wrong until they're already gone."

Pocket users, what’s your plan B? Let’s talk alternatives

Pocket is shutting down - by now, we all know that. I wasn t a regular user myself, but I did test the app about a year ago.

From what I m seeing in the comments, long-time users are understandably panicking. There are plenty of alternatives out there, but it seems like people are struggling to find something they can easily switch to.

So I m curious - how did you use Pocket?

And have you found a replacement that actually works for you?

🚀 Ditto just got WAY smarter.

We just shipped two killer features for your mock API toolbox:

Dynamic responses with {{faker.*}}

Conditional forwarding based on URL patterns

Which of the Product Hunt metrics matter to you the most?

I ve noticed that the purpose of people on Product Hunt is always different. Of course, the vast majority want to become the Product of the Day, Week, Month, or Year (or win Kitty Awards).

However, some are there for the community and their success metrics may lie in something else (e.g. the number of discussions created and rated).

Instagram's Edits vs. TikTok's CapCut?

The short video format originated primarily on TikTok as "TikToks." Of course, it was then picked up by Instagram ("Reels"), YouTube ("Shorts"), and later other platforms began to embrace this trend of short, vertical videos (LinkedIn, X).

For these purposes, TikTok created a mobile video editing app and later a desktop version, CapCut. (2019)
And guess what...

Cursor is now my go-to for PM work—goodbye Google Docs!

Recently started consulting with a startup, and I ve fully switched to Cursor for all my PRDs and PM needs no more Google Docs or anything else. I ll never go back!

With MCP, I ve even connected Google Docs, just in case I ever need it right inside Cursor itself, haha.

Oh, and I m nudging the devs here to try Cursor too slowly moving them away from Copilot.

Is Notion Database a Good Fit for CMS?

I'm curious can Notion's database be used effectively as a CMS for websites?

For example, managing content for an e-commerce site or a news/blog platform.

All teams that work remotely: How do you improve your company culture?

You barely see in person and sometimes, when you are international in different time zones, you are barely on video meetings + some people working at home can lack socialising.

How do you fix this?

Denmark’s Gefion & The Future of Intelligence

Denmark just entered the AI big leagues with Gefion, a sovereign AI supercomputer, powered by 1,528 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, and already ranked #21 on the TOP500 list of the world s most powerful machines.

But this isn t just about computing power. It s about control.

For decades, AI innovation has been concentrated in a handful of markets, dictated by a few players. Gefion changes that.
This isn t just a machine it s a declaration that AI leadership isn t reserved for tech giants or a select few nations.

Jensen Huang called it a "factory of intelligence," and that s exactly what it is. A nation s ability to compute at scale will define its standing in the global AI race.
It will decide who leads in healthcare, energy, finance, and defense. It will determine who innovates, who follows, and who gets left behind.

How did you finance your business?

How did you get the seed capital to start your business?

I see mostly VC-funded companies on Product Hunt (mostly YC).
But are there people who fund their businesses in other ways?

📢 Announcing Folders in Speech to Note!

Hi Speech to Note Community,

We know that capturing notes is only half the battle, finding them when you actually need them is where the real challenge begins.

For long, search, filters, and tags have been your best bet. But they only take you so far.

That s why we re introducing Folders a smarter way to organize, access, and make the most of your notes.

My thoughts on Cursor and the Anthropic rate limiting downtime

Just a thought on Cursor and the fact that Anthropic rate limiting basically doesn't let me do anything right now. I've been developing with Cursor and Claude-3.5-Sonnet (recently 3.7-thinking) for last few months now. I've gotten to a point where I realized 1 hour of no-Cursor coding can be done in 10 minutes or less using Cursor agent. It's absolutely amazing, let me just say that.

But because of the issues with Anthropic's endpoint, I was forced to try out gpt-4o, and other models. But nothing beats Claude-3.5(7)-Sonnet. The flow of work and bug-free features are unbeatable. I also started exploring something else -> Void IDE. It's a Y Combinator backed open-source tool just like Cursor. I also learned that Qwen-2.5-coder would be a good open source model to code, on par with Anthropic's model when it comes to coding. Combining these two things, I won't need Cursor anymore. However, I didn't go that route because Void still has some catching up to do, but they'll get there.

Impact of Claude 3.7 on Cursor usage?

Has anyone out there been seriously trying claude 3.7 in Cursor? How is it?
