Roast an idea: adding grammar checking via SDK to any app boosts retention

Hey there! I am one of the founders of Linguix - we build AI writing assistant and now we are diving into developing our API and offering an easy way to integrate it via API. My idea, that has some proof via PoC projects by now, is that when you add grammar checking dialogues to your app, people will spend more time within it = improved retention rates. Also, those dialogues can potentially be used to promote core product features, which should improve APRS/ARPU.

What do you think? Would you be open to testing this kind of product (Grammar Check API/SDK) for free?

On a scale of zero to Beyonce, rate my landing page

Hey all. I'm launching soon & put together a pretty basic landing page. I would love constructive criticism on improvements I should make.

Here's what a few friendlies have shared with me so far.

  1. More use of css animations, to make elements pop and feel more interactive

  2. Social proof. (We're prioritizing this & will add soon!)

  3. Less color, more white (this makes me sad, but if its the right thing to do...)

  4. Mixed reactions the use of slideshow, versus breaking this out into something more scrollable.

  5. My wife didn't like that there's a video on the top and told me I'm making a weird face in it anyway. (I mean, my face is just weird by nature, geesh!)

Do you think AI tools should be made to help students think more on their own?

Yesterday i saw a discussion by @hamza_afzal_butt Do you think AI is improving education, or does it make students too dependent?

so here i am sharing my thoughts about AI learning as i am also buliding AI exam tool :)

AI makes learning easier, but if it just gives answers, students might stop thinking for themselves. (not good, right)
That s why I m building PrepareBuddy-an AI study assistant that guides learning instead of just providing quick solutions. It breaks down topics, offers step-by-step explanations, and encourages critical thinking.

What its like being a new founder/owner

Hi guys, I am a new founder of an AI agency, Think Bridging AI.

My journey started last year in July when I suddenly had to drop out of 3rd year Mechanical engineering. Honestly, I always wanted to start my own thing and so I was quite excited to finally try it out. Unfortunately, the reality hit, when all those, 'get rich fast', 'get leads fast', and 'get your first customer in 7 days' Youtube channels burst my bubble.

It's not that easy. I still have a client or 2 in the pipeline which took 6 months to get, 100s of emails sent, and stress levels through the roof.

What have you learned about pricing?

Hey everyone - I'm launching my first product soon & would love to tap into this community's experience on price-setting for B2C software (ours helps job seekers).

The long story short is we ve been leaning towards entering a fairly established market at significantly lower pricing (like ~4-5x) than competitors. The thesis is this will help us A) attract users in general, and B) drive better unit economics by focusing more on capturing paid users and not focusing (much?) on total user acquisition (paid + free).

What will be the role of humans in society when AI and human-like robots take over more jobs?

In yesterday's discussion by @aaronoleary, there were a few thoughts about using robots at home.

In this context, several questions occurred to me.

For example, what will happen to the future of humans if we delegate most of the manual and mental work to machines? How will we handle our free time? How will people be rewarded?

Stricter Discussions (Forums) on the Product Hunt – Bad or Good?

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.

For bootstrappers, how do you grow without paid ads?

I don t have a big budget for ads, so growth can feel like a slow grind. But some of the most successful bootstrapped startups found creative ways to get traction without spending a dime on marketing.

Some focus on content and SEO, others leverage community-driven strategies, and some build in public to generate organic interest. Some even rely entirely on referrals, virality, or partnerships to scale.

πŸš€πŸš€Launch First or Audience First?πŸŒŽπŸ€πŸ“£

Hello Product Hunt Community!
I'm curious to get insight from people who have launched before on this platform.
Should you launch first or build an audience and community before launching?

I did some research from the community and found useful links that I've come across on PH so far! The most interesting one that stands out to me was Upvote Bell which helps you track trends in real time.

Learnings from launching on PH without stressing about it!

48 hours ago I launched on Product Hunt.

Here is what happened:

  1. I launched with zero stress.

  2. I didn't send a single DM for getting upvotes.

  3. I found a random Hunter with no followers.

  4. I wanted the whole process to be fully organic, to see how PH works.

  5. I got 85 signups to my app from the whole launch.

  6. I did not get featured on the main page.

Build an audience first, or launch and grow later?

This is probably one of the most debated topics in the startup world: Should you build an audience before you launch, or is it better to launch first and grow your audience afterward? I ve seen both approaches work, but each comes with its own set of challenges and rewards. - Building an audience first means you're creating buzz, validating your idea, and nurturing a community of early adopters who are invested in your success. But it takes time, patience, and a lot of effort to keep the momentum going before you even have a product to show. - Launching first lets you hit the ground running, gather real-world feedback, and iterate quickly. But without an existing audience, you might struggle to get those initial users and traction. So, indulge me: Which approach did you take or are you considering taking (those who haven't launched yet)? - Did you build an audience before launching your product, or did you launch and then focus on growth? - What worked (or didn't work) for you? - If you could go back, would you do it differently? Share your story with us so we can all learn from each other. There's someone here who could benefit from your experience. ----- P.S: If you're a growth-stage founder struggling with churn or stagnant customer acquisition (usually because of poor positioning and messaging), I'd love to help.
