Hey PH

I spent last month testing some assumptions like: founders want to meet others in-person. These assumptions failed as it's not as simple as that. There are some intricacies.

Well, I think will come back to the original asusmption that sort of worked. People liked being on the map, sharing their profile, and getting discovered.

Ever had to send the same message to 50 people, with just the name or company changed?

Whether you're a founder doing cold outreach, a manager sending status updates, or a marketer handling follow-ups it s a time sink.

That's why we built Dynamic Templates in Slashit App.

• You define the message structure once

• Add fields like [First Name], [Company], [Offer]

• Paste your values and get 50 personalized messages, fast

Let s be real no one builds anything meaningful without flirting with burnout.

But the habits that save us aren't always the flashy 5AM club routines or viral productivity hacks.

I'm seeing more products launch on Product Hunt that require payment to actually use any features. No free trial, no freemium tier, just a download that leads straight to a paywall.

Part of me thinks this makes sense. If your product has real value, why give it away? People on Product Hunt understand they're looking at premium tools. Plus offering free access can attract users who will never pay anyway.

But I also see the argument for temporary free access during launch. Product Hunt users want to actually try what they're upvoting. How can they give meaningful feedback or become advocates if they hit a paywall immediately?

Hey folks, I m an indie developer working on a companion chatbot. My goal? To make it feel less like a disposable utility you shut off, and more like that friend who you actually care about checking in on.

At first, I thought, Isn t conversational AI companionship an obvious demand? People talk to smart speakers all the time! But I quickly realized: without a sense of rights + obligations, even the smartest model feels like a close tab and forget widget. After all, our warmest interactions with pets or dolls come from a shared sense of social exchange and life rights.

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?

This morning I opened my inbox to find an alert from GitGuardian about a leaked key. My first thought: Great, another phishing email. Nearly deleted it on the spot. Then I realized yesterday when I was using Cursor to bulk-update my scripts, I d left the API key in plain text
