recently I started to write a worklog. I.e. Whatever i work on, i was just putting there on a daily basis.
Eventually writing self-reflection became extremaly easy because I had everything in one place at the end of H. Then it became a good habit in general - I became better organized, i was planning ahead, had better 1:1s with manager etc.
So to keep it short, i have started a pet project for that. It s not released yet and i want to conduct some initial feedback.
I m building an AI-powered self-care & productivity app that helps people stay on track with their goals through personalized daily tasks, adaptive coaching, and progress check-ins.
Before going too far, I want to validate the idea and make sure it solves real problems.
I put together a quick 3-minute survey to gather honest feedback from potential users:
Hey everyone, I just launched my first big project, Answerly! As a student, I got so tired of copy-pasting code errors and quiz questions into different windows, so I built the tool I wish I had.
It can visually analyze your screen and give you an instant answer and explanation. I'm trying to turn it into the ultimate AI learning assistant.
Would love for you to try it out and give me some honest feedback!
Hello all, I recently built a tiny, public chatroom platform. Fully anonymous, no tracing, no logging, no storing messages on the server except temporarily in memory. The chats are cleared if the app restarts, nothing persisted on any disk.
I always forget where i parked in garage/basement, so i will take photos, but parking photos cluttered my album, manually delete parking photos are a hassle. so i build Overthere.
How it works:
park your car
take a photo (Apple OCR will detect parking info)
go your way, we will help you remember where you park
I m one of the co-founders of a startup that just launched our new product: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
While we re excited about what we ve created, we re still in the early stages and haven't gained many users yet. Given our limited budget, we re looking for effective channels to increase our exposure beyond Product Hunt.
Thinking about future-proofing my skills and I'm curious to hear from the pros in this community. We all have our core skills, but what's one skill that wasn't a big deal a few years ago but you now see as essential for your role in late 2025?
For Marketers: Is it data storytelling? AI prompt engineering?
For Designers: Is it prototyping with real data? Designing for AI?
Our first Product Hunt launch didn t go well. We put something out there, pushed for votes, and hoped for the best. It didn t work.
For our relaunch, we took a completely different approach. Here s what changed:
Engage, don t just post. We spent weeks commenting on other launches, supporting makers, and building trust. This time, people recognized us, not just the product.
Conversations > upvotes. What made the difference were detailed comments and feedback. The algorithm rewards authentic engagement.
Storytelling > specs. Instead of listing features, we shared why we built it and the problem it solved.
Timing is everything. Launching at midnight PST gave us momentum when the U.S. audience woke up.
Expectation reset. PH is less a sales channel, more a credibility engine. The real ROI shows up later, in awareness, trust, and partnerships.
What stood out the most: The community. The honest feedback, encouragement, and tough questions shaped our roadmap more than any internal discussion could.
When I tried running my first Meta ad campaign, it took me 6 hours of messing around with copy, creatives, and Ads Manager before I finally got it live. The whole process felt so complicated to just get one measly ad out.
That pain led me to start building Marketbit, a SaaS tool designed to help founders launch ads in minutes, without needing a marketing degree:
Generate AI-powered ad copy and creatives
quality checks to avoid compliance issues
One-click campaign deployment (no dashboard required)
AI-powered analytics that translate marketing jargon to human language
When you start out, everyone talks about product, fundraising, and growth. But in reality, it s often the smaller, hidden challenges that trip you up, things you never thought would matter until they suddenly do.
What s been your didn t see that coming moment as a founder?
I started my tech journey as an ethical hacker, breaking web apps (legally ) to make them stronger. Over time, I moved into full-stack development, building tools that save people time and headaches.
Recently, I stumbled into a surprisingly overlooked pain point for freelancers and small businesses and let's just say, I've been obsessed with solving it in a way that mixes design, automation, and a little AI magic.
I often see Meta, Snap, Google or Apple ramping up their efforts for smart glasses. But,... I have only seen 1 or 2 people in my area actually have them. I think it's more hype than real use (and maybe I'm just in a bubble).
What do you think was just an overpriced marketing gimmick and has no long-term perspective at all?
My team and I have been living and breathing the world of short-form video lately. In the process of our work (more on that another day!), we went down a rabbit hole, analyzing over 100 viral TikToks and Reels to decode the "magic."
With the rise of generative AI, the conversation is all about what AI can do: write scripts, select clips, add captions. But our analysis revealed something more interesting: the most resonant, unforgettable videos thrive on elements that AI, in its current state, simply can't touch.
It s not a knock on AI; it's a celebration of human creativity. Here are the three big ones we found:
