One of everyone's biggest nightmares is losing data.
It seems like I ritualistically deal with this every 6 years when my external drive fails, and then I have to get the whole history back (expensively).
Friday, we launched and you heard all about us. Today we want to hear about you.
First, thank you for showing up on Product Hunt for the upvotes, the questions, the incredibly thoughtful conversations about dual environments, instant board generation, and keeping the tools that already work for you.
Dub.co launched Partners, an affiliate marketing platform, on Product Hunt 4 months ago, and they just announced a major milestone: $10,000,000 in payouts sent to creators worldwide.
I am a startup founder. My problem is periodic emotional burnout and a certain loneliness on this journey, especially when a project requires a long time and a huge amount of effort to get it off the ground to the first tangible results (on average, this takes 2-3 years). During the "low points" (once every few months), there is no one to honestly and kindly discuss fear, uncertainty, difficulties, or failure with, without judgment. And at the same time, to get real emotional support to avoid abandoning my project, especially if it is promising. I don't want to bother my wife and loved ones too much either, and my non-startup friends don't really understand my "pains." Existing communities and mentors solve business problems but don't provide the psychological support of a "brother in arms." I would like to have some kind of safe space for regular group calls where one can vent and get support from other founders. Perhaps the solution should involve some sort of AI moderator that would facilitate the meetings and guide the entire group for the desired effect, and at the end of the meeting provide useful recommendations and assess the match between group participants.
NotiSprite launched almost two months ago, and I wanted to share this update here as well. It has been meaningful to see real users who genuinely understand what I am trying to create. Real reactions, real feedback, and real appreciation for the artwork and the effort behind it.
NotiSprite was also featured on Product Hunt, which honestly shocked me. I did zero promotion. None of my network even knew I was launching that day. I simply wanted to see if anyone out there cared about this small idea of animated companions on the desktop. It somehow ranked seventh, and that moment felt like a huge breath of relief. It made me feel that maybe this project actually has a place in the world.
1 in 4 have some form of sight loss, so Product Hunt teams may be curious to experience their designs through Velocity blurred vision simulations now in open Beta: https://blog.appvelocity.io/blur...
We just wrapped the Orbit Awards for AI Dictation and now we re moving to the next category: AI Automation.
This one is for the tools that actually do work for you clearing chores, running workflows in the background, or quietly taking over a chunk of your week without turning into another dashboard you have to babysit.
What are some of your go-to prompt engineering tips, chat assistants, coding tips, or other hacks to get valid links from AI queries? With so many models relying on last year's data, enabling live search and even specifically instructing them to search live sites and return only valid, 2025 links often still returns dead links.
Each month, I clear approximately 1,000 unread emails from my inbox. I explore a lot of products - including looking for potential Korgi integrations - and signing up triggers a trickle to a flood of emails. Some apps send multiple emails a day in the first week.
I rarely read or open them because for me, learning in one space, then trying to apply that information in a different space, creates inefficiency and friction. I want to act as I learn, in the app, with great onboarding tours, intuitive UI, etc.
December is the month that officially closes the launch chapter of the year, so you still have a last chance to come up with something that will get attention.
Such December classics are definitely products with these narratives:
Wrap-ups
Advent Calendars
Most searched topics
Prognosis for the coming year
Productivity and health apps (ready for New Year's resolutions)
I realised how important videos are in search results.
This and the previous week, we reached out to many creators for custom videos on various topics that include the client's product. (I gained some overview about prices for such a video and need to say that if things go well, it can be a good investment in the long term).
First of all a huge thank you to everyone who supported our new Emma launch on 11.11.
Because of you, we hit Top 3 Product of the Day with our biggest update ever. Your support truly means the world to us. Many of you also supported our original Sugar Free: Food Scanner last year and helped us reach #4 Product of the Year. You ve been with us from the start and you re the reason this project keeps moving forward. As some of you know, I ve personally been avoiding added sugar for 8+ years. At some point, I got so obsessed with finding every hidden form of sugar that I ended up infecting my friends with this mission too and together we built a tiny prototype to detect hidden sugars. That little idea has now grown into something much bigger. Over the year, the scanner has grown into Emma an AI Nutrition Intelligence that that understands food globally. It reads any labels in any language and finds hidden sugar, E-codes, bad additives, toxins and allergens. It s like ChatGPT, but about food and health. Unlike typical food apps, Emma doesn t rely on static databases. If a product exists online anywhere in the world, Emma can:
find it translate it rebuild its ingredient list detect hidden sugars, additives, toxins, allergens and give a clear, simple verdict: Eat or Avoid Emma runs on our proprietary AI model, trained on real scientific datasets (FDA, EFSA, WHO, etc). No myths just evidence-based clarity. What Emma can do: Scan any food label in any language; Detect every form of hidden sugar (even behind 200+ names); Spot harmful additives, E-numbers, INS codes, allergens; Flag 500+ potential health risks; Science-based food rating (1 10); Plain-language Eat or Avoid guidance; Full ingredient breakdown; Built-in AI Nutritionist ask anything about food & health. Even your grandma could use it and she probably should How it works:
1. Scan a barcode or snap a photo of the label 2. Emma analyzes, translates, and scores the product 3. Ask Emma for recommendations, recipes, or nutrition advice Just clear, stress-free food choices. Special for the Product Hunt community: As a thank-you to everyone here, we re giving 3 months of full access to our first 5,000 PH users this week. Promo code: PH11EMMA (or tap PH supporter inside the app). If Sugar Free wasn t available in your country before Emma is now! We d love for you to try Emma, explore the new features, and share your thoughts.
