Yesterday, we unlocked the ability for your AI to know who the user is (Custom Session Context). Today, we re adding the missing piece: the ability to save what they did (Session History)!
This means your users can log back in and see their past conversations or previous workflow runs right inside the chat window. No more starting from scratch every time they refresh the page!
Lately, my DMs have been full of this question. While I can t say exactly what changed after Product Hunt s Aug 25 update (since the featured criteria seem a bit mysterious now), here are a few patterns I ve noticed:
Version updates: New versions or re-launches (like Product v2.0) often don t get featured anymore.
No freemium or free trial : Launches without a free plan or trial seem to be struggling to get featured.
Hunter Featured : Having a well-known hunter doesn t guarantee a feature. In fact, recently, the two seem almost mutually exclusive.
Look & feel: Launches that use the same template design or layout as others often get skipped.
Curious to hear your thoughts - have you noticed similar trends?
Lately, I ve been thinking about how different it feels to build and connect on smaller community platforms compared to the massive social networks. Smaller spaces often feel more personal, supportive, and genuine, but of course, they come with a smaller reach.
So I m curious: Do you prefer the vibe of smaller, niche platforms, or do you still focus on growing on the big ones? What makes a smaller community worth your time? Would you switch to a newer platform if it offered more meaningful engagement, even with fewer users?

My journey in startups began 10 years ago, and I've launched 18 startups, most of which failed. Briefly on why they failed: 1. Contract Online my first startup in 2015, which was supposed to be an online service for remote signing of contracts for any transactions between individuals. A kind of analogue of a secure transaction. For this startup, I even managed to attract a business angel who invested $16,500.
Reason for failure: I had two lawyers on my team who discovered in the process that the legal framework at the time could not provide reliable grounds for protecting our users in remote transactions. The contracts would not have been considered legally signed. 2. Natural Products In 2015-2018, I became very passionate about healthy eating, but in the process, I discovered that products in all chain stores are full of chemicals, and stores with truly natural products are inaccessible to the majority. Hence, the idea emerged to create my own online platform where you could order natural products directly from farmers at affordable prices.
Reason for failure: For several years, I tried to launch this project, even trained as a baker of natural bread and tried to create my own farm, but in the process, I found that few people are willing to pay for truly natural products, even if these products were only 20-30% more expensive than market prices, and not 2-3 times more, as in premium stores. Hence, the market was so small that all my attempts were doomed.
I don't want to sound bad, but I feel like Adobe is asking quite a lot of money for something that other tools do the same (if not better) with a better user experience and sometimes even cheaper.
Most people think users choose products based on features or price. In reality, support decides who stays.
A cheaper tool becomes expensive fast when every issue turns into a ticket nightmare. Meanwhile, teams keep paying more for products that solve problems and support them when it matters.
Support is not a cost. It is part of the product experience. Fast replies build trust. Clear answers reduce churn. Companies that treat support as a growth lever win.

I ve noticed two main narratives in how companies view their competitors.
Either it s a fight to the death approach exactly like what we see between Replit and Lovable (though it seems Replit does more of the provoking ) basically: We speak badly about our competition.
Are you the kind of person who believes in your dream enough to burn through most of your savings on it?
For millionaires, this might not be a big deal, but what about people with a typical 9 5 job? I see how much a solid marketing campaign costs on just one platform (often the monthly expense is equal to at least a full year s salary).
The day before yesterday, a friend told me he and his wife are closing their restaurant, which they opened just six months ago. They had taken a loan for it, which makes it even worse.
Today, we re announcing we ve raised $125M at a $1.25B valuation to build the platform for agent engineering. We re also releasing new capabilities to accelerate the path to reliable agents, including LangChain and LangGraph 1.0 releases, a new Insights Agent, and a no code agent builder. IVP led the round alongside existing investors Sequoia, Benchmark, and Amplify, as well as new investors CapitalG and Sapphire Ventures.
Imagine that they got their start here when I hunted @LangSmith in 2023. Man, shoulda invested back then!
@OpenAI just launched ChatGPT Atlas, its own browser for macOS that bakes the model right into every tab. You can highlight text to summarize or rewrite it, chat alongside any site, and keep the AI open in a split view while you browse.
It even remembers what you ve been doing over time, though that s already raising privacy flags.
What s interesting is that Atlas doesn t feel like a new product it just feels like ChatGPT trying to absorb the browser itself.
Elon Musk was extremely frustrated that Wikipedia couldn t be manipulated, and he even offered $1 billion if they renamed it to d*ckipedia.
Since that didn t work out, he s now trying to build his own platform for gathering information claiming that Wikipedia is hopelessly biased, and that left-leaning editors influence its content.
