What’s the one tool in your tech stack that saves you hours every week?

We all have that one tool - the unsung hero quietly doing its job and saving you hours every single week.

For me (no surprise ), it s @Clueso

Do you think AI is making you lazier and less original?

MIT just dropped a fascinating (and slightly scary) study.

They had participants write SAT-style essays using:

  1. ChatGPT

  2. Google

  3. Just their brains

What happened?

Not everything needs AI

These days, almost every product that launches comes with some form of AI. It's become the default AI for this, AI for that. And honestly, most of them don t really need it. The result? Everything starts to feel the same. The only real selling point becomes we use AI.

That s exactly why I started building @HumanEye because not every problem should be solved by AI. Some things, like resume reviews and career guidance, still deserve the human touch. Real feedback, from real people.

Would love to hear your thoughts:

  • Are we overusing AI just for the sake of hype?

  • Have you come across products that felt forced because of their AI features?

  • What are some areas where human input still matters most?

What’s your favorite onboarding experience from a product (that you actually kept using)?

We re in the thick of redesigning onboarding for a new consumer app trying to make that first minute actually count. Not just informative, but compelling enough that people actually stick around and use it again.

Too many products treat onboarding like a tutorial. And it becomes easy for the user to view it as just another hurdle to get through instead of a moment to get set up for a positive experience. Swipe, swipe swipe, go...

Feeling stuck growing my social impact business

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to develop my social impact business, but feeling stuck right now.
The main idea behind it is to give individuals an opportunity to gradually build a tangible, positive environmental impact by joining forest restoration at scale, and to make it as easy and convenient as possible while addressing downsides of existing tree planting and voluntary carbon offset initiatives.
I've managed to get a small grant to formally register a company, and create a simple website and web application. I ve also already got a few municipalities interested in partnering, pledging the land for over 10 million trees, with the potential for much more! Also have a few subscribers to our planting plans across the EU and the US.
The problem is, I struggle greatly with getting enough people to contribute, to jumpstart our field operations.
I was thinking that I am doing everything by the book regarding initial outreach (posting in relevant social media groups, launching platforms, direct messaging and mailing), but just can t get much positive results, while competitors (on whom I improved to create my project) managed to get decent success even in the first year of operations. Although I don t know what budget and connections they ve had.
I don t know if I have such bad luck or what, but I have a tremendous problem when reaching out to people, organizations, or media. If anyone even bother to respond, then it is either just a statement that this is such an important and needed project (but it seems not so important for them to support it), and they wish me luck (I can t do anything with wishes), or if they even declare initial interest and support it ends with ghosting. Not to mention a few openly hostile encounters.
If everyone who declared their support went through with their promises, we d be already planting, and here I am, stuck in a chicken-and-egg situation, where people expect me to show completed projects to even consider contributing, while I need initial support to even start them.
I just don t know what to do to keep it going

What's one thing that makes you reach out to a startup showcasing their product at a tech event?

We've been invited to take part in our first physical event to showcase Lifetoon with a stand - Bucharest Tech Week.

We're already preparing some must-haves (stickers, roll-up, demo), but I'm curious to find the things that make a startup stand out for you at events. I know things that can be consumed (coffee, sweets) attract people, but I'd love to find out about other things that caught your eye while exploring the startup area at bigger events.

How Would You Build a SaaS Blog Today? (Ghost, WordPress, MDX?)

We're planning our new SaaS blog and could use some advice on the tech stack.

What's the best way to build a blog these days for good SEO and an easy workflow for writers?

We're debating between a CMS (like Ghost/WordPress), building it directly into our app, or a simple static site (MDX). How did you build yours? Curious to hear what you'd recommend!

Also, for early-stage SaaS products still in MVP phase, what setup would you recommend to keep things simple but still SEO-friendly? Is it better to start scrappy with MDX or Notion + super.so-style setups, or go straight for a Headless CMS if we plan to scale content quickly?

Do you still believe in SEO?

Hi there! I've been working in content marketing & SEO for almost a decade - and while I've seen many announcements of the death of SEO, the current search climate, combined with the latest announcements from Google are strong signals that SEO may (finally ) be over.

What do you think? Is "answer engine optimization" the answer?

Should our product launch video feature a real person or just a voiceover with product footage?

Hey PH community!

We re preparing for our upcoming launch on Product Hunt and planning to include a short video introducing our product. We re debating between two approaches and would love your input:

What’s your current product hill you’d die on?

Mine: If you need a user to read docs before they get value your UX is broken.

What s yours?

Remote workers, how do you stay productive while being isolated?

The biggest boom in remote work was during the COVID pandemic, but corporations have started to call employees back into their offices, either because of prepaid office space or better control over employees' work.

Some have stuck with the remote model until now, e.g. Spotify.

What is the best feature of your product and how would you describe it?

We sell daily.

Not only in our business life, but also in our personal life.

What we need to do is convince people that our product or our personality is the best possible option they can choose from.

If ChatGPT can write ads, do I still need a media buyer? 🤔

I ve been in the growth seat at an AI ad platform (still in stealth ), and I keep running into the same question:

With tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and PMax...

Is it still worth hiring media buyers or creative teams for ad campaigns?

Is there a product that has everything for job seekers?

Like customized AI job searching, AI mock interviews, experience sharing, Gmail and calendar tracking. For me, I need to go indeed to find jobs, use simplify to apply it, interview with ChatGPT to practice, find the real interview questions on Reddit. And manage the job applications by myself to check the email everyday, and the amount of job I applied already hit 400 this month. I m tired.

Is SaaS dead? What’s next when AI takes over?

I m starting to think most SaaS products are on borrowed time. With AI getting smarter every day, it s poised to swallow up their use cases. AI will learn to do what SaaS tools do and at some point it will be easier for the user just to use the AI. I recently saw a tweet claiming that by next year, 90% of code will be AI-generated. If development costs are plummeting to zero, why would anyone pay for a traditional SaaS subscription, when his favourite AI can do the same?

Do you see it the same way? I d love to hear your take.

Do you think AI is improving education, or does it make students too dependent?

I have seen multiple launches here (on PH) providing AI solutions to the student exam preparations (and its really helpful).
Students can now find fast and simple solutions to their problems or study plans as AI helps them fast and easily.
They can now study anytime, anywhere, with no need for anyone's time (24/7 available).

But everyone has its own +ve & -ve thoughts in an easy way (suggestions/improvements)
so what are your thoughts about it?

What task management software are you using?

Over the years working for agencies I've become quite familiar with tools like @asana and @Jira , also with @Trello for personal projects. But I was wondering, are these the most used or are these just the ones I've been exposed to? Are there better options? Would love to hear your thoughts down below!
