I launched @PayScope just 10 days ago. A tiny experiment-turned-product that estimates your market salary from your resume. No sign-up, no onboarding, upload and get the analytics.
I launched it directly on Product Hunt, literally the same day I made the tool public.
No support from big names. No early users. No large network.
Anytime we want to see technological advancements, we either keep an eye on Product Hunt, Techcrunch or the military. And that's today's case.
In the morning, I read this announcement:
Meta is partnering with defense tech company Anduril to develop AR/VR headsets for the U.S. military, starting with a new device called EagleEye. The new headset will include night vision, thermal sensing, and augmented reality features. The partnership has raised eyebrows due to Meta s role in data and AI, and the ethical implications of a social media giant entering the military tech space.
nfsRambo is a free, open-source cloud cost analyzer that helps you estimate and forecast your monthly storage bills across AWS, GCP, and Azure, based on your project s data generation and retention needs. It s designed for developers, CTOs, and startups who want precise, transparent, and unified cloud cost estimates without paywalls or hidden features.
During the week, I receive a lot of questions about Product Hunt, and some of them are very frequent. I thought I would post the most frequent ones here, and a possible answer to them.
Is it worth having a hunter?
If the hunter has a large follower base, a strong community, and a good reputation (and your product is also good, i.e. it will be featured): YES, IT IS WORTH HAVING A HUNTER. It will multiply your visibility and success
The last 2 or 3 years, I have been trying to learn more foreign languages besides English. My go-to app is (not surprisingly) Duolingo.
I have also experience with Memrise, but it didn't feel like a good fit.
I find these apps to help learn vocabulary or for keeping up with a language I've previously learned in other ways (for example, from a language school or online lessons), but not necessarily for learning at a conversational level.
The longer I've been an internet user, the more I feel like I'm missing out on something (FOMO) every second I'm offline. The tech world changes so fast.
My first experience with a computer was around the age of 8 I used Microsoft Paint to sketch houses because we didn t have internet at home. I got online for the first time at 11, and by 12 or 13, I had already joined social media.
I've been spending time exploring some really creative and inspiring products here lately It's incredible how much talent and innovation is being shared every day. I m currently in the process of preparing my own launch (had to hit pause for a bit maybe part of my marketing strategy), and it s been a great learning experience just observing how others build and connect here.
Most of my days go into researching, iterating, and building solo for now which can be equally exciting and challenging. No revenue yet, but meaningful progress and clarity are what I m chasing before anything else.
I d love to connect with more builders here. If you ve been through the early stages of launching, solo-building, or just have tips for someone trying to build something useful and gain early traction, I d really appreciate hearing from you.
Also, if you're up for sharing how you first started getting feedback or finding early supporters here on PH, that would be amazing
I'm Gunhee Han, co-founder and CEO of @Shotup AI Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who supported and upvoted Shotup AI thanks to you, we made it to the Top 5 Product of the Day! Since our launch, we ve seen a 700% jump in app downloads and website visits. Even more exciting, we're now getting amazing feedback from real users who are excited to use and help improve our product.
I've always loved building things that make everyday life a little easier. I also have a big love for photography from shooting with old film cameras, to digital mirrorless, to snapping photos on my iPhone.
A few days ago, I listened to a Czech video cast where the idea was that in a few years, the teaching position will lose its relevance.
This seems like a quite realistic prognosis to me, because:
The teaching position is not particularly valued,
AI knows more information than a teacher,
AI does not sharply confront the user, which encourages people to ask questions and think critically (this can sometimes not be said about the school system)
More and more young people prefer to communicate with Chatgpt than with an "educational authority"
I'm Julia, a founder with a background in economics (PhD), over 10 years in fintech and IT, and a deep belief that technology can make everyday life a little easier especially for families.
A few years ago, I moved to Argentina with my daughter, and like many working parents, I found myself caught between too many responsibilities and too little time especially when it came to something as simple and important as school lunches.
Forget the pitch deck for a second. This is about grabbing attention fast. Share your startup in five words or less. The goal is to be clear, clever, or just bold enough to make people stop scrolling. Who knows, it could be a good marketing exercise
