I just joined the platform today, after hearing about it for a while. I am a biology research scientist by training, and I absolutely love solving problems. I recently discovered I can apply that to tech development as well, and not just figuring out why my PCR didn't work again (it's honestly voodoo, I swear). I learned how to code, and with AI growing in leaps and bounds, the playing field is getting more accessible for those of us coming from a less techy background. I've built a few small projects, mainly for myself/friends/to practice, and I'm working on a project now that I would like to launch here when it's ready.
I think coming from a scientific research perspective into the world of app development has actually been a huge plus. I'm used to the build-test-doesn't work-iterate-try again cycle, just with tubes and pipettes instead of a terminal and Railway. Perseverance is the name of the game! And it helps when you love the process, too.
I built Prodshort because I understood after my previous companies that the hard thing is not to Build but to Sell. But because I'm a builder, not a seller. I decided to build something that Sells for me. And Because the trend is Founder Led Marketing, I decided to build something that Create content on your behalf. But there was a lot of AI tools out there. So I decided to go the opposite way, make it the most authentic possible. I want you to create content when you are not even aware of it. And honestly it worked for me. Many people tell me it's amazing but to keep it honest, NO ONE PAYED, and that's the only KPI I'm looking at. For now, I have feedback about the landing page being too AI generated, and doesn't reflect the quality of our product. And Builder socially scared from sharing there first content. Let me know what you think https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
Hey everyone - quick update on DeployHermes (managed hosting for Hermes agents on Fly.io).
Since our last public release (right after we moved the stack to Vercel), we ve been heads-down on reliability and on features people actually asked for. Here s what s new:
Last quarter one of our engineers made a small edit to a system prompt. Pushed it directly. No review, no history, nothing.
Within an hour our AI was responding to users with completely wrong answers.
We had no idea what changed. No diff to look at. No rollback button. Just three of us staring at the codebase trying to reverse-engineer a single line edit that had already been overwritten.
For months, our most requested feature at Murror was a chat function. Users wanted to talk to the AI the way they talk to a friend. It seemed obvious. Every competitor had it. Every feedback form mentioned it.
Every AI product I see launching right now is racing to add the most impressive, most complex AI feature they can build. Autonomous agents. Multi-step reasoning. Real-time analysis of everything.
When we started building Murror, we fell into the same trap. We wanted to build the smartest emotional AI possible. Something that could analyze patterns across months of conversations, predict emotional states, generate deep psychological insights.
Every time I built a dashboard for one client, I had to rebuild it for the next. Creating clients, reports, dashboards, data sources felt like clicking through ten different pages just to do one simple thing
So we made some changes
Now in ZapDigits
You can create everything from the sidebar. No more jumping around Any dashboard can become a template you reuse Templates have their own gallery so you can see yours and ours in one place More Google Analytics metrics to get better insights Each dashboard can have its own look
Everyone tells you to ship fast. Move fast and break things. Get to market before someone else does.
I believed this for a long time. When we were building Murror, speed was everything. We pushed features weekly, sometimes daily. We celebrated every deploy like a small victory.
