Hi PH! My buddy Claude and I built this little chrome extension side project (I'm a FT product designer). Excited to finally show it! Customers and coworkers are always asking me "where do I do XYZ on your site? What do I click on to get to ABC?" I'm always pointing out buttons, flows, panels, etc. on my screen to them. I've always wanted a faster way to quickly take a screenshot, draw an...

Hi folks! I know there are a bunch of AI interior design products already, but I think I stumbled on the best configuration with a few awesome features that make it really worth a try. 1. It actually re-arranges furniture unlike other products 2. It has a manual masking mode that lets you pinpoint exactly what you want to replace in your image. 3. It's 100% free, forever! I built this as a side...

Hi PH! We're a small indie team that was frustrated with constantly having to restart screen recordings. Sometimes I'd personally take an hour to record a 5-minute video! So we came up with an idea to let folks pause whenever they make a mistake, rewind a few seconds, and re-record over it. So for folks who fumble words or are often interrupted by a dog barking (like me), Vento is a great...

Lead designer @ Series B co here. I'd add that I put too much weight into what people said, and less into what they did. Actions speak louder than words. Watching someone use your software (or using it yourself) is way more informative than asking someone what they want to improve about it! I came up with my latest startup idea this way - I was doing a ton of screen recordings and kept having...

https://vento.so/ - Screen recording but you can pause, rewind a few seconds, and re-record over your mistakes/your dog barking. Disclosure I'm the maker :) but it was #3 on Hacker News!

Hi PH! This is a small side project of mine while I'm in between jobs. While I was on the hunt for remote jobs, I ran into a stark difference in companies - those that localized pay and those who didn't. I heard from a few companies after multiple rounds of interviews that the comp range they gave me initially would be cut by 20% due to my location. I just accepted an offer with a company that...

Hey PH! I've got a full-time job and became a parent recently so... I realized I'm subbed to so many tech newsletters but I really don't have time to read them all these days. They're also curated by one/a few people, so I'm at the whim of what those few deem worth reading. I’d rather have ONE newsletter with ALL the best articles on the web, curated by MANY people so I can skim the most...

Hi PH! Jeremy & I have worked on a product team together for years, and we naturally find that we're always trying out different products for research. Sometimes it's for UX ("I need to design a downgrade plan for a subscription, how does Slack do it?") and sometimes it's just for product ideas and inspiration. It can often take a lot of time/money to conduct this research though - sometimes...

Hi folks 👋! I follow smart stock pickers like Cathie Woods, Ryan Jacobs, Chamath Palihapitiya, etc. to see what kinds of trades they make (or the funds they run/back make) for ideas on stocks to invest in. Of course, I still do my due diligence - but with a full time job I don't have the capacity to do as much research as these folks do. So, when one of them makes a big trade, especially if...

Sometimes it's nice to take a break from building things that are only for turning into businesses. My old man loves scrabble but I haven't seen him in over a year so I built this to play with him for father's day next week (the other online ones enforce too many rules and are hard to set up). Last year we tried pogo.com but it was brutally hard to use, ads everywhere, and he dc'ed halfway...

Hi! Six months ago my startup failed and I was looking for a remote product design job. Because I was a design hiring manager for the last few years, I knew all the best places to look for new jobs (basically, everywhere I went to post as a hiring manager). It was exhausting checking every source every day, and so I started Theo (my dog's name) to make it easy for other designers to find...
