I'm Dhruv (DB), founder of LocalPanda.ai, a marketing tool for local businesses that help them track their rankings on Google Maps, optimize their Google Business Profile, manage reviews and schedule social media posts on Facebook and Instagram. I'm worried that my audience is not on PH, but still think it might be useful to launch here. Any suggestions / tips / thoughts?
On Product Hunt, I can see many people launching their products using "vibe-coding tools" like @Lovable , @bolt.new , or@Replit
I reckon many people who created something with them are usually developers who didn't have enough time for building a side idea before, but with AI, they could make it happen.
People are talking about MCP so much and it feels like a secret hack to unlock AI/LLM capabilities and make them do more with other tools/softwares. Can anyone help me explain MCPs to my mom in as little words as possible? Preferably avoiding saying "Model Context Protocol"
Hi Makers! Let's discuss what we're working on this week. We can keep each other motivated and maybe even help out. This week I'm focused on reaching out to high-profile celebs who are involved in the tech industry to interview them for Product Hunt radio. What are you working on?
Hi makers! Many of you are launching products, or getting ready to. I'd love to know what the hardest things about launching are, or hear what your concerns are. I'm here to answer any questions and share some honest advice. I've been on the community team since 2017 and have seen over 1,000 launches since then!
I've noticed recently that YouTube are offering me very tempting free trials to upgrade to their ad-free version which also includes original premium content. While I was excited by the idea of ad-free YouTube when they announced the news a few years back, as a frugal person I never made the investment. Do you pay for ad-free YouTube, and if so, do you feel it's worth it?
Hi makers! I often hear generalizations like "engineers are introverted" and "salespeople are extroverted", but in my experience working in tech I've always found great examples to challenge that. In the latest episode of "Product Hunt Radio" for example, Drift's CTO Elias Torres talked about being an extrovert and how he loves spending time across every department including customer success. Are you an extrovert, introvert or ambivert (a bit of both) and do you think that impacts the type of job you've chosen to do?
Exciting news, makers, we are hosting our first ever virtual summit this July and I would love to see you there! You can register for free here. Expect to hear from amazing individuals from the Product Hunt network: founders, investors, indie makers and individuals on the rise in their fields: from D2C to no code to blockchain and so much more. I'm in the process of inviting speakers and would love to hear from you - who do you want to hear from at the summit? What topics do you want us to cover?
I am deep diving into the core problems of meetings to find the best angle to attack them, and would like your perspective on that! Also, some related questions I ve had in my head for a while now:
- How do you capture key moments (e.g. decisions made or next actions) during the meeting? If it s note-taking, what do you use?
- Do you share a report after the meeting and if so, how do you share it?
- Do you use a dedicated tool (e.g. Jira, Todoist, whatever ) to track next actions? As a PM in my current company, I take notes of most meetings myself, then consolidate minutes of meetings and share on Slack/Notion. Pretty burdensome, and the next actions end up kind of buried in my notes Never a good way to hold people accountable Thanks a lot
I control every 1 hr of my day to maximize productivity. Wake up at 5:30, meditate, work, learn programming, work some more, write a novel, and run a family with 1 kid coming. You could say I'm hyper productive, but I know many of you have a lot more on your plate. As founders and makers, what do you do to make sure your sanity is kept in check?
Do you think it is harder to raise capital as a solo founder? What are some things you should keep in mind?
Any tips for applying to accelerators etc. as an early-stage solo founder?
I'm sure this happens a lot to many of us. Even though I'm super passionate about what I'm doing right now, as it's our second nature as entrepreneurs, shiny new ideas pop up in the brain too often. I tend to write them down in my "write once and never see it for 6 months" list and forget about it.
Stepping into 2021 there is some optimism that things might start going back to normal to some point and I'm curious what's the first thing you would do if everyone went back to normal right now? For me, I'd probably just go to a restaurant. I miss dining out so much
Hey Product Hunt! I m a Senior Writer at Gumroad, host of the Gumroad Podcast, and Instructor of the 10x Creator Course. Today I m a student of the creator economy, but it didn t start that way. I was in the U.S. Navy for 11 years, and I served as a certified nuclear engineer aboard a fast-attack submarine. I later served as Director of Communication and speechwriter to senior U.S. officials, including SecDef Jim Mattis, SecDef Leon Panetta, and General (Ret.) David Petraeus. After that, I transitioned into the tech world and spent four years as an Evangelist at Palantir. In 2018, I co-founded a tech company focused on consumer content management (we didn t make it, but I m happy to talk about lessons learned!) Since then, I ve gone full-time as an independent creator. I helped Jack Butcher
