What’s the last product that genuinely made you go: 'Whoa — this is smart'?

I m always on the lookout for those aha moments where a product nails the timing, design, or simplicity so well it just clicks.

What s the last product that made you pause and think:

Damn this is clever ?

Bonus points if it s something small but brilliant. Curious to see what s been impressing you lately

What do you love doing on summer weekends when you're not working?

There s something about summer weekends that just opens things up.

Unlike winter, where things can feel a bit more limited unless you re into skiing or snowboarding, summer offers so much more flexibility.

What’s a small decision that completely changed your career? 💭

I ll go first: Posting my side project before I felt ready. It led to unexpected feedback, support and paying users.

Curious what small moves made a big difference for you

My favorite launch videos from last week

I love building products. But videos? That s hard.

So I started studying others.

Here are 7 AI launch videos that nail storytelling and simplicity last week in my opinion:

1. @Higgsfield AI video editing shown through clean, iterative results.

How do you run operations when your company’s still figuring things out?

No ERP. No full-time ops lead. No perfect processes.

Just Notion docs, Google Sheets, Slack chaos and a growing to-do list.

You re hiring. Selling. Delivering. Building.

What’s the smallest feature in your product that delivers the biggest impact? 💡

Sometimes it s not the biggest launch or most complex system that users love it s the tiny touches: a smart default, a well-timed toast, a one-click shortcut.

What s one small feature in your product that punches way above its weight?

Would love to see examples and maybe steal a few ideas too.

What are your weekend goals? 🧠✨

Hey PH community!

I ve been thinking a lot about how weekends are a great time to reset, catch up, or make progress on side projects or personal goals whether it's shipping something small, cleaning up a Notion board, reading that book you ve been meaning to, or just unplugging completely.

💡 What problem did you originally set out to solve with your product?

I ve seen a lot of makers (myself included) start building with one idea, then pivot completely after talking to users.

I launched Waivify a simple digital waiver tool because I noticed yoga instructors and personal trainers still using paper or clunky PDFs for liability waivers. It started as a weekend build. Now it s used by solo business owners to simplify their client onboarding.

But along the way, I realized I wasn t just solving waivers I was helping service pros feel more legit and reduce admin anxiety.

So I m curious:

Hey PH! I'm building Waivify – because waivers shouldn’t suck

Hey everyone I m Dustin

I m a solo founder and full-stack dev building Waivify a dead-simple way for instructors, artists, and other service pros to create and collect signed waivers in minutes.

How did you come up with your product idea?

I'm amazed by the number of products that launch on PH every day. I think it would be cool to know what inspired you to build your product.

For me, I desperately was trying to solve my own problems and frustrations. For nearly 20 years that I'm building online communities, I realised that our competition didn't solve for the two most basic problems:

  1. Organic Growth

  2. User Retention
