About

Designer and PM who builds tools for AI coding workflows. Right now that's SlimSnap, a Mac app that turns a screenshot into structured JSON your terminal agent can read instead of guessing at pixels. More interested in fixing the input than chasing the model.

How do you decide how many features to add so your product is not too broad or too narrow?

I believe that when launching a product on Product Hunt, you should focus on one main feature and two supporting features that help bring the whole idea together.

When I see a new product with too many features and the whole tool feels complex, I start to lose my understanding of what it actually does.

When is the right time to launch on Product Hunt?

Because building products has become much more accessible thanks to AI, the bar has had to rise a bit, or at least the expectations have become stricter.

I built my own tool, but personally, I wouldn t launch it on Product Hunt yet because it s still very basic and doesn t even have a website.

AI can write my entire app but it can't get Microsoft to approve it

My Windows build has been in Microsoft's certification queue for three weeks. Three new models shipped in that time, two of them can supposedly do my whole job, and not one of them can get a human at Microsoft to press approve.

What's the longest you've been stuck on something you couldn't code your way out of?
