Hi everyone. I m Wally, I m a USMC vet, an engineering director at Volvo Cars, and a dad. Born and raised in Texas, now living in Connecticut. No grand claims here, just looking to learn, listen, and chip in where I can. This is Bodie! He was a good dog. Enjoy the weekend!!

Would you buy this Steve Jobs "innovation coin" for $1?

This design presents a young Steve Jobs sitting in front of a quintessentially northern California landscape of oak-covered rolling hills. His posture and expression, as he is captured in a moment of reflection, show how this environment inspired his vision to transform complex technology into something as intuitive and organic as nature itself. Inscriptions are UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and CALIFORNIA. Additional inscriptions are STEVE JOBS and MAKE SOMETHING WONDERFUL.

ok so weird backstory - ive been building products for startups for like 8 years now and i got obsessed with this question: why do products that KILL IT on product hunt just... die?

like were talking #1 product of the day, 1000+ upvotes, features in newsletters, the whole thing. and then 6 months later? dead or making $300/month

After yesterday s reckoning , it s time to define a plan of activities for the last quarter. I didn t implement many things from Q3, so I would like to finish them in these 3 months.

My goals for Q4 2025:

Hey Guys!
Chris here - a German/US citizen who s lived in Austria, Lisbon, Dubai, and now Poland.

I started out freelancing, then ran an agency, and worked for a SaaS as a VP for quite a while.
I loved the thrill of scaling accounts, but I hated the grind: staring at spreadsheets, pulling reports, tweaking budgets at 2 AM just to keep campaigns profitable.

That pain led me to build AdAmigo.ai an AI media buyer.

Instead of fighting Ads Manager, you can literally text our AI chat agent: launch a retargeting campaign or increase budget by 20% . The agent audits your account daily, optimizes, and scales campaigns as well as a human on autopilot.

Some companies are love brands for me, and I d like to support them. Others I see growing, and I d love to ride the wave. :D

Do you have any companies you d like to invest in, but that don t have a public offering yet? Which ones?

Hey PH fam! I m Noah, building something fresh for sellers and shoppers that s all about community, discovery, and speed. I noticed how big marketplaces often feel clunky and impersonal, so I wanted to create a space where sellers feel supported, buyers enjoy exploring, and everyone gets a smoother, more engaging experience. I can t reveal all the magic just yet, but think of it as a beautiful, local-first marketplace with a twist you ll love. Excited to share more soon!

Hey, everyone! Hi, I'm Chilarai Mushahary.

I've always liked to build things, whether it was messing around with early web projects or getting really into APIs and developer tools. I've worked on many different parts of the tech stack over the years, including backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, and more recently, a lot of AI testing.

I think a lot of the PH community can relate that we have a lot of pride in our projects/software and want as many people as possible to see and use it. As a result, we often self-promote across platforms like Reddit, LinkedIn, X, etc.
On the one hand, I call this self-advocacy, because no one else will post about you and what you've dedicated hundreds of hours to. On the other hand, self-promoting too much can lead to reputational harm, getting marked as a spammer, and being lost in the sea of other "self-promoters."
How do you find this balance? I think I tend towards being too conservative. Any tips on successfully getting your message/product out there without being a shill?
Final thought: it feels like self-promotion is okay for already successful companies, but up and comers are seen as spammers. Bit of a catch 22?

I ve been thinking about the tension between single-player mode and multiplayer mode in SaaS (especially in the days of LLMs & user context).

On one hand, founders (myself included) often hear: Don t just build for one user, build for teams. That s where the revenue and moats are.

Hey, I m Siena

I wanted to introduce myself here as I m building with the team at Fruitful! We recently launched our first product on a waitlist - an AI-powered Website Time Machine that helps companies like ElevenLabs stay ahead of their competitors

I m Paul, founder of Automations24 and a doctoral candidate studying how AI and automation are transforming business strategy. My professional roots are in global procurement where I managed hundreds of millions in sourcing for automotive electronics. That experience gave me a front row seat to the complexity of systems and the power of good process design.

Automations24 is my way of bringing that mindset into a broader space. It is a small studio focused on building practical automations and micro-SaaS tools for small and mid-sized businesses. We design solutions that cut down manual work, bring clarity to data, and help teams scale without adding layers of overhead.

I'll say it bluntly that running a business is not as easy as it is presented on the Internet. You have to come up with a good and useful idea, and even then, you don't win.

You can only see the results after a long time. Not everyone can do it for a long time. To do it, you need to have a strong motive. For some people, it may be a family tradition, for some, money.

Hey Product Hunt community!

We're getting ready to launch Asa v2 soon and honestly, we're both excited and a bit nervous. This has been a massive rebuild from our first version, and we'd love to get some early thoughts from this amazing community.

A bit of context: After our first launch, we realized we were solving only part of the problem. Teams weren't just looking for time tracking - they needed something that actually helped with the messy, human side of remote work. The mood swings, the disconnection, the chaos of managing tasks across different tools.

For the past few months, we ve been working on LeadSources.io 2.0 a total makeover of our initial lead source tracking tool.

Long story long, back when we were running an SEO agency, we constantly struggled to track where each lead was coming from.

That s how LeadSources.io started originally as a simple tool to track the source of your leads in your form builder.

But for this launch, we ve taken lead source tracking to the extreme:

Hi everyone - I'm launching the updated version of Waitlister on Product Hunt today and wanted to share it here since I know many of you are building products that could benefit from pre-launch waitlists.

What is Waitlister?

I just launched mine, and I m sure I ll make plenty of mistakes

If you could go back to when you launched your first app or startup, what would you do differently?

I ve finished building my web app and now I m focused on acquiring users.

For those who have successfully reached 1,000 (or more) users, what strategies, channels, or tactics worked best for you?

Curious how other founders have approached events in the early days. I know for some, hackathons, expos, and pitch competitions are game-changers: early validation, first users, even investors. But for others, they end up being more of a distraction than a getting-early-traction opportunity.

So, I'm curious to know:

• Did you include events in your early marketing/growth strategy?

• What s the most rewarding event you ve ever participated in with your startup?

• Any lessons learned (good or bad) you d pass on?

Everywhere else I look podcasts, social media, even casual discussions  longevity is a hot topic. Bryan Johnson, for example, shows up in my feed constantly.

For me, health-tech feels like the most valuable thing we could be building. Not just extending life expectancy, but actually improving quality of life.
