At the beginning, my reason was very simple: I needed a job and I genuinely liked the product.
I graduated with a Marketing degree, but I never felt like I belonged in agencies or similar environments. It just wasn t for me. At the same time, I didn t have much experience in tech either. So I took a leap of faith and applied for a Customer Support role, almost blindly.
The early days were tough. I had no technical background, no real understanding of how apps were built, and everything felt overwhelming. But the product itself became my motivation. I started from the most basic things: learning simple technical terms, understanding how an app is structured, and slowly exploring how everything works behind the scenes.
Hey PH community! As we all rely on video calls more than ever, I'm curious about your biggest frustrations with tools like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Jitsi, or even the infamous Cluey. Do clunky interfaces, poor AI integrations, or a lack of admin controls (like forcing video on for interviews) drive you nuts?
I'm thinking about adding video chat to Blimp (getblimpy.cloud), our AI-native productivity suite. Imagine an AI assistant that quietly takes minutes in the background (non-intrusive), auto-generates bullet-point actions as tasks in your project hub (ditching those sloppy AI emails), plus admin perks like mandatory video, global audio muting, and background video effects that don't slow down your video.
What are your top video chat pain points? Share below your ideas could shape this!
I learned this the hard way after forgetting 90% of the words I spent months studying.
Here's the thing: your brain doesn't store information just because you've seen it. Highlighting words, writing them down once, even using them in a sentence - none of that guarantees retention.
Managing a hybrid team shouldn't require 5 different apps. You have one tool for time tracking. One for tasks. Another for chat. And zero clue how your team is actually feeling. The fragmentation is killing your productivity.

What are three things you re grateful for every day? Are they the same, or do they change over time?
For me, the three things I m grateful for most days are:
Having the health to keep working
Having work that I can pursue and grow with
Having a family that cares about me and supports me from behind the scenes
Of course, each day brings different moments, small wins, or reasons to feel grateful. But at the core, it often comes back to the same things: health, work, and family.
Everyone has their favourite routine to perform at their best.
Some are advocates for the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes of intensive work, with a 5-minute short break), others love time-blocking, a few plan the entire week on Sunday, and there are even people who say ice-cold showers la Wim Hof help them focus.
Now you can make InfiniDesk a compact icon in the menu bar, instead of showing the full name of the current Desktop View! Great if your menu bar is already crowded.
Give a Desktop View a custom icon, by putting a unicode character before the name:
Ultracite is an opinionated, zero-config code linter and formatter. @haydenbleasel launched it on Product Hunt twice this year, and I had a humble contribution as a Hunter.
Different launches, different results. Here's what I learned.
Two months ago, I'd never heard of Product Hunt. When I told people we were launching @AI Context Flow here, they told me to keep my expectations in check.
Fast forward to today: #1 Product of the Day and #1 Productivity Tool of the Week.
The journey was chaotic, humbling, and honestly surreal. If you'd told me this would happen, I wouldn't have believed you.

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 ve spent the last few years working closely with sales teams, and one thing never changes, we often start talking too soon.
A potential customer shares one small detail, and we immediately jump into explaining, pitching, or convincing. But the truth is: most people don t need more information, they just need to feel understood. When we slow down and listen really listen the conversation changes completely. They open up. They tell you what s actually holding them back. And suddenly, closing the deal isn t about persuasion anymore, it s about alignment.
