Building a personal profile on Product Hunt in 5 steps (Tips, but recommendations are welcome)

I ve been on Product Hunt for over 1,000 days, and honestly, when I first started, I had no strategy.

I knew I wanted to grow, but I didn t have a clear plan. I simply liked the platform, and that was enough motivation to spend time here. That time helped me recognise certain ways to build a personal brand on Product Hunt.

A write-up from our CEO: simplifying SOC 2, GDPR & HIPAA audits

Audits like SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA often feel endless gathering evidence, aligning policies, and proving compliance across teams.

In this new piece, our CEO @stelios_sotiriadis breaks down the real pain points behind audit chaos and how we ve been rethinking the process at Warestack making compliance a natural outcome of good engineering practices rather than a fire-drill at the end.

Entering Beta: Codebase Understanding + Agents.md Export + Modes

If generating code is a commodity, then what is built, and how is the most critical question to answer.

This is the goal of Shotgun - to help you turn technical research and spec generation into context for software engineers, AI code-gen tools like Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, with complete codebase understanding, and agents doing the heavy lifting.

Shotgun produces clean, reusable artifacts and exports to the agents.md ecosystem to help you get the most out of code-gen tools and Agents.

How do you stop yourself from scrolling brainrot and stay focused on work?

This came to my mind when I read about how the creation of Sora has raised concerns that it could be an AI equivalent of TikTok (critics warning it could fall into the same addictive patterns as other social platforms).

And after several messages with some people, I also noticed how I wasted a lot of time on my desktop instead of doing something productive or learning.

✨ Introducing: AI-powered search engine

Hey PH!
We ve been building something new, an AI-powered search engine for DIY & home improvement, built from scratch. The idea is simple: help you quickly find the right tutorials, guides, and answers without all the clutter.

Kind of like Perplexity, but for makers

  • Ask any DIY questions

  • Get quick, reliable results from trusted sources

  • Follow up to dig deeper or refine answers

The Breakpoint [2025-09-30] - Best IDE in 2025?

Meow, world!

I really enjoyed reading The Breakpoint, Product Hunt's weekly, developer-focused newsletter, and wanted to relaunch it as a token of appreciation to the community.

No confirmation after clicking subscribe for CVE alerts

Hi,

I ve been using ExploitAlarm for about half an hour and I really like the simple UI and its practical use. The only issue I ran into is that I m not sure whether I can receive real-time email alerts when a CVE is published for a product.

If this feature already exists on the products page, and I need to click the subscribe (bell) button, I don t get any confirmation on screen or by email to reassure me that alerts are activated.

Breaking our own rule: the technical case for Link-to-Ting

A recurring request from Ting users was for a shareable "scheduling link". No matter how much we believe in our unique approach, Calendly has changed the game, and links are ubiquitous across the internet.

But Ting s mission is to keep the user and guest in places they already communicate, like email or WhatsApp.

So @dbul and I asked ourselves: how can we give users a link without building a web app? The answer was to go back to basics.

GraphBit- an AI frameworks that scale, not collapse

Most frameworks shine in demos.

But when you put them under real workloads they burn CPU, leak memory, crash agents, and cost huge amount of dollar in electricity.

Do you think TikTok will sell its U.S. stake? + Quick summary

Just to make it clear:

In 2022, it became public that TikTok (or rather its parent company ByteDance) had used the app to monitor the communication of journalists in the U.S.

What’s the easiest no-code tool for handling subscriptions + payments?

Hey Makers I m exploring options for managing subscriptions, payments, and authentication in a super simple way. Ideally, something that s: 1. No-code / low-code friendly 2. Easy to integrate without a ton of setup 3. Handles the boring stuff like billing, invoicing, cancellations, and user access automatically I ve looked at a few tools, but many feel too heavy for a small MVP. Curious to know: What are you using right now? Any lightweight tools that worked really well for your early-stage product? Bonus if it has a generous free tier or is affordable for indie founders. Would love to hear what s working for this community before I commit to something!

Drop out of school and start a startup or do business after graduation? (Possible solution)

3 days ago, I was wondering what the future of universities would be in this AI world (and education in general).

I didn't know that YCombinator was going to bring an alternative solution:

Founder’s Review of FunBlocks AI Slides

As a founder, I'm constantly evaluating tools that can genuinely boost productivity and creativity. FunBlocks AI Slides stands out as a strong contender in the AI presentation space, primarily due to its innovative integration of Markdown for slide creation.

What I like?

  • Markdown-Driven Efficiency: The ability to write slides in Markdown is a game-changer. It eliminates the tedious back-and-forth of adjusting element sizes and positions with a mouse, allowing for a focused, high-speed writing experience. This is pure efficiency.

  • Automatic, Elegant Layout: The smart layout algorithms deliver beautifully arranged, professional-looking slides automatically. This means I can focus purely on content, trusting that the presentation will look polished and aesthetically pleasing without manual fuss.

  • AI Presentation Assistant: The AI capabilities go beyond simple generation. It can craft entire presentations from a theme, but more importantly, it allows for granular optimization of any selected text. This interactive AI assistance is incredibly powerful for refining ideas and content.
