most teams spend a lot of time thinking about user authentication. who can log in, how, with what credentials.

and then the services behind the scenes just... trust each other. because they're on the same network. because they're in the same VPC. because nobody questioned it when the architecture was first drawn up.

It's the first question friends asked when I showed them https://convert.softorino.com, and it's fair, free converters usually pay for themselves with ads, tracking, or your files. The honest answer: the catch is that some of you will like it enough to look at the paid Mac apps I work on. That's the whole model, a good free tool as the introduction. Launch is this Sunday (Aug 30), so before then I want to hear it straight: what makes you trust a free tool, and what instantly kills that trust?

I m not really a person who likes sharing my everyday life online =)
That s one of the reasons I m really happy to be part of the Product Hunt community.

I like being able to stay in touch with like-minded people and have everyday conversations about things we re building, learning, and interested in.
But I understand that social media is a big part of today s lifestyle, and it s absolutely great that it gives people a way to connect, share, and find each other.

So, I m curious:

Do you have social media as a maker?
