Curious what's your preference: @bolt.new @Lovable @Replit @v0 by Vercel? or else?

Most startup advice says: don t go solo.

It s practically gospel, especially if you want to raise money.

But I ve met plenty of founders who started solo and stayed that way. Some thrived. Some flamed out. Some figured out how to build a support system around them without giving away half the company.

I used to think successful people were just better at predicting outcomes. But it turns out they re just faster at acting on limited information and recovering when they re wrong.

Now, my framework is, "What's the cheapest way to test this assumption?"

I m a builder at heart, and I constantly wonder about ideas that slip through the cracks, ones that aren t fundable but are still deeply useful. What s your why hasn t anyone made this yet? product idea?

Not the sexy stuff like phones or VR headsets I m talking about the boring but essential things we use daily:

Outlets

Shower handles

Light switches

I often see the media sharing articles about layoffs due to AI, how junior programmer positions are less in demand, how there is also a decreased interest in copywriters and graphic designers, etc.

About 2 weeks ago, Teammates launched a tool (AI HR-ist), and right now I came across a post from a local marketer who shared interesting data about Ask AI (an internal AI/chatbot system), which today handles almost 94% of all routine HR requests, such as:

• vacation requests

• onboarding new employees

• payroll information and attendance records

• benefit selection and answers to basic employment questions

Results of AI implementation at IBM

• 94% of the HR agenda is automated

• Payroll, vacation, administration even terminations have been automated

• $3.5 billion saved

• 40% drop in HR costs

IBM also claims that employees are happier. The HR department s internal NPS score increased from -35 to +74 after the implementation of AskHR (source: HR Asia). 6% of questions are still directed at people AI has not yet completely replaced complex or emotionally sensitive situations.

One thing I have learned as a founder: some of the best products not only save time or money, but also reduce stress.

For me, that meant building ImmigrantVLI, an AI assistant to help people better understand the U.S. immigration system. It s been emotional hearing from users who finally feel a sense of clarity.

So now I am Interested:

• What problem are you solving that s more about peace of mind than profit?

• Are there any underrated use cases where technology can ease emotional or mental burdens?

I ve seen a lot of makers (myself included) start building with one idea, then pivot completely after talking to users.

I launched Waivify a simple digital waiver tool because I noticed yoga instructors and personal trainers still using paper or clunky PDFs for liability waivers. It started as a weekend build. Now it s used by solo business owners to simplify their client onboarding.

But along the way, I realized I wasn t just solving waivers I was helping service pros feel more legit and reduce admin anxiety.

So I m curious:

I know people who never miss an email, even on a Saturday night.

And I know others who won t even open their inbox until Monday morning no matter what.

Hey everyone

I started vibe coding back in October last year, which feels like a lifetime ago now. I was an early adopter of Bolt and managed to ship a production-ready CRM (called Chilled CRM) in just a few weeks. Since then, I ve been obsessed with the vibe coding movement but also frustrated.

Most of the current tools follow the same UX patterns and lean too heavily on prompting. That s fine if you re technical, but for non-tech founders or no-coders, it becomes a nightmare. I wanted to fix that.

The 3 big problems I kept hitting:

Hi! I m building a tool to automate Canva designs using Brand Templates with the Data Autofill feature.

If you re already using that workflow and want to fully automate the export of multiple designs, I d love to give you early access and hear your thoughts.

Product Description:

Hey Product Hunt community

Just hit an exciting milestone: my online party game, FaceArena, welcomed 140 users in its first 5 days live of beta version! It's been a whirlwind, and the "Don't Laugh Challenge" mode is already generating some hilarious (and sometimes epic fail) moments.

What's fascinating is seeing how people react when their facial expressions become the controller. It's a completely different dynamic than traditional click-based games. We're observing:

• The pure joy (and struggle!) of trying to suppress a laugh.

• The unexpected creativity that emerges when gestures are part of the game.

• Users often start laughing not just because of the memes, but just by looking at their friends' faces trying not to laugh! That's the real magic we aimed for.

• How users intuitively adapt to this new interaction method.

• Of course, as with any beta product, we're continuously identifying and squashing bugs to refine the experience.

Every time I vibe code there is always this huge lift that I constantly have to go through. Authentication, billing, password resets, emails, signup, waitlist, landing page and when it s all said done and the app is ready then comes the marketing, the blogging, the social media automation, the product hunt launch etc etc etc . So much repetitive crap that I have to do just to get a simple app up and running. How do you guys handle all this?

Since I am a coder and a hammer sees everything as a nail, I decided to create all this code as a template so I can jump into building an app right away. There is actually a lot more than what I mentioned above e.g customer support, chat, roadmap for building in public, email flows and more coming.

Let s say you re on Google Analytics, Plausible, or Mixpanel

What would convince you to switch?

We all write quickly. And when we do, tone and grammar slip.

Sometimes it sounds too harsh. Sometimes it's vague. Or just too long.

Slashit s Magical feature gives you a simple fix:
