Hey, Artem here. I left Meta in Apr 2024 to fully dive into realm of GenAI. I knew back then that with the pace of development the distribution wins, not the product. So I spent a year cracking SEO and wasting tens of thousands on ads so you don't have to. Happy to share my learnings and answer your questions. Some stats. As of now our app has over 200k registered users with up to 700 joining daily. Before AI summaries we've reached 200k monthly visits on the website. And then crashed hard in the past few weeks. We also iterated on product like crazy and learned a ton. Ask away!
It's a big day for us not only have we launched something that I've been this much excited about in years, we are also climbing the Product Hunt leaderboard to become the product of the day. Checkout Indy AI.
I'm creating a fitness app that uses AI on @Lovable, and I'm also testing it myself.
I use the app daily to check its functions, how it works, and the exercises. If I find something strange or think of something new, I record voice memos with issues, changes, or improvements. I act as both the product manager and a user. Later, I listen to these notes and make the changes.
I m thinking of building a simple, unbiased comparison platform for products, services, tools even technical stuff like frameworks, APIs, and AI tools to help you decide faster with clear side-by-side insights.
Personally, I often find myself deep in Amazon reviews, YouTube videos, and scattered blog posts when trying to choose something new. While some comparison sites exist, I ve never found a complete or truly comprehensive solution. The same goes for developers when exploring new frameworks or libraries with similar alternatives, a quick, focused comparison could really help clarify things.
Before going further, I d love to hear from you: Would you find this useful? Your feedback will help shaping what I build next.
I am in the very early research phase of launching an affiliate program for my SaaS. Nothing is set in stone yet. No commission structure, no software picked, no rollout timeline. Before I draw up a plan, I want to learn from founders and marketers who have already walked this What I am curious about: Which tracking/attribution hurdles surprised you once real traffic showed up? What signs told you an affiliate partnership was working or quietly draining resources? Any red flags when evaluating platforms? For anyone who shut a program down, what pushed you to pull the plug? I would like to avoid build-it-and-they-won t-come syndrome and budget realistically for both partner recruitment and ongoing support. Honest war stories are more useful than polished case studies, so please share the gritty details commission numbers, churn headaches, fraud issues, whatever. I will round up the best insights into a follow-up post so everyone here benefits. Thanks in advance for helping me start on the right foot!
It is a question of choosing between two evils for us now. Neither option is completely free of flaws.
Human: Recruiters with "gut feelings" who harbor unconscious bias. they reject excellent candidates who just didn't go to the "right" school or didn't just "click." Inconsistent, unfair, and un-auditable.
AI: Algorithms whose training datasets are themselves replete with historical biases. They increase the scale of discrimination at light speed, becoming so-called black boxes that end up rejecting qualified candidates for reasons that humans cannot even fathom.
We are truly deciding to exchange messy, subjective human prejudice for cold, ruthlessly efficient algorithmic prejudice. Is that really an upgrade?
It will sound like something from prehistoric times, but in my country, the vast majority of employers give women lower salaries than men. Fortunately, I don't feel it that much because I work with foreign clients, but I don't think it's fair.
(But we probably all know why this is the case less is invested in women, because it is expected that they will go on maternity leave one day and therefore have no prospect of staying in the job longer compared to men, where the continuity of work is higher)
Hey PH, I m Kerem, and I recently started building my first startup. Only 2 months in, but it s already clear: the startup world demands an entirely different set of skills than anything I ve done before.
I ve realized I m pretty decent at building, product, design, backend, but when it comes to marketing, outreach, and getting real traction... I feel way out of league.
