Hi there! I built a simple voting app called Castify. It allows users to create polls, search polls, vote, and view analytics on polls, all anonymously. This first build is a retool prototype to gather feedback, validate the idea, and see what others think. I am looking for any and all feedback on this concept. We are in a pivotal time in history where freedom of speech is being challenged, so...
CastifyVoting, Made Simple
Castify is an app that lets users create polls, vote, and view the results. Users can search for different polls, use the results to collect data, and do it anonymously. It makes voting simple. This is a fast, low-code build to validate the idea.

Will ProductHunt ever launch a job board?
I think if ProductHunt launched a job board to connect community members with early and established companies, it could have many benefits, such as: Solving the unemployment crisis in tech right now by employing people with companies that are in need to scale new products Growing ProductHunt's usage by attracting the job market to use the tool daily to discover new products and network What do...

Some additional feature ideas I thought of (not sure if these were introduced by others or in progress, but here it goes!): Song discovery mode (by genre/mood/etc) that plays a song and you can log it while listening, so it encourages logging releases with more passive listening Search for singles that are outside of albums as well. I tried looking up songs like "All The Small Things" by...

It is until the non technical maker can't tell the AI properly how to fix something. The best world for devs is to work with AI. It's just an extension of us, it was built from our contributions and data. So we shape it and its adoption. I think rejecting it can be tempting but debilitating to the productivity that's possible. Non-technical builders bring the value of simplicity, speed to...

Can we add a DM feature to ProductHunt? Would anyone use this?
There are creators I would love to reach out to and network with within the platform for ease of access, logging, and sharing launch details. Could we add the ability to DM fellow contributors on Product Hunt? Would anyone use this?

Very cool idea to get out of the walled gardens of music distribution and marketing to find new hot music releases and undiscovered oldies! I signed up and added my releases. As an artist myself I would like a way to share and promote my music within the platform if possible. I added my own song releases to my favorites in hopes that will get some exposure, along with some other pop punk bands...

If you don't understand how code works, you can't fix anything that AI cannot fix on it's own. It's important to understand the low level concepts and learn how to prompt AI to create those solutions. Then if AI doesn't output the correct result, you can go in and fix it. It's similar to how we use high level languages or abstracted libraries to solve problems. We don't need to necessarily...
Do developers even need to "learn to code" anymore?

Before building anything, start with the problem. Research and survey to see if your product solves a real problem or adds value to anyone's life. This will shape the roadmap of features for the product around the user instead of the creator. Then once the idea is validated, identify the simplest version of the application that can be built, shared, and used to validate the concept in the...
What's the best way to approach building an app/webapp with AI? (getting stuck on UI design)

It depends on the product and resources available. If you have the time and budget, building product awareness early can make the initial launch and future releases generate a large buzz faster. Building a group of people who like and trust your product idea and brand early will create a loyal fanbase that can advocate for you, saving money and time to work on the product instead of an initial...

If you struggle with maintaining, reading, and understanding cryptic regex code, this post is for you! This weekend I built an open-source API called Readable Regex that lets you do common string manipulation tasks (like validating emails or extracting numbers) with simple API calls, and with no complex regex required! Gemini helped me generate a lot of the code (a lot of which I didn’t want to...

While working at my company, I faced the problem of updating legacy code using Regex expressions that were difficult to understand and that I didn’t write. The code was acquired from another company and I didn’t have any experience with it or how it was written, which is always challenging. While debugging our updates of the code, it was challenging to understand what the regex expressions were...

I wanted to build something simple and fun that others could use. I really like animals and particularly dogs. I thought, wouldn't it be fun and simple to build a dog breed guessing game? So I did! I built the first version over a couple of days. I plan on iterating on this to add things like a scoreboard, a rewards system, a breed learning feature so people can learn about the dogs they can't...

Working as a senior software engineer, tutor, and digital marketer for my music, naturally, I have a lot of tabs open. I was struggling to keep them in order and find them efficiently on demand. After trying the available chrome extensions on the chrome web store, they all required manual interaction to sort. Having to click to sort tabs every time was annoying and repetitive. With no other...
