As many of you are likely aware, Product Hunt has always been a place for builders, founders, and tech enthusiasts to discover and share what s new. But as the startup landscape evolves, so does the next generation of Makers.

I d love to hear your thoughts - how can we make Product Hunt more appealing to first-time founders, students, and emerging Makers? Are there specific challenges they face that we have the chance to address?

A few days ago I saw some posts here about:

the number of discussions is decreasing,

sometimes they are approved later,

that there is "other community growth" I don't know what was meant by that and I'm just guessing.

I tend to just get an idea, and try to use AI now to get a basic framework. Then after kinda aim to get the core functionality down before moving towards UI and Design...however I often get stuck once it's on UI design as I can never get it the way I like.
As I try to add more features I kinda get lost in the code and then break other things and eventually either abandon the app or simply decide to keep it super simple at the expense of features.
Does anyone have any recs or process that could help in my app making journey? TIA!!

I ve been playing around with it, and it s wild how fast it spins up a full-stack app from a prompt. But I m wondering:

• How well does it generate code for real-world use?

• Any prompting tips to get better results?

• How does it compare to others like Lovable?

Also, do you think tools like Bolt (full app generation) are the future, or will the Cursor-style coding assistant approach win out?

Would love to hear from anyone who's pushed this beyond a test project!

I hate to say it and I don't want to sound pessimistic (but it's probably happening already :D)...

with all the conveniences we have, we are so fast and unfortunately also comfortable.
