While building a product, I ve also been trying to run content on social media to bring in more traffic. I experimented with creating AI-generated characters and producing UGC-style videos around them.
During this process, I realized something interesting: there are hundreds of tools that can generate virtual characters and UGC-style videos. But what actually makes a video engaging isn t the tool - it s the authenticity of the person creating the content.
20 days ago, I launched here with a Windows-only MVP. The feedback was incredible (we hit #2 Product of the Day!), but the #1 request was: "When is it coming to Mac and Linux?"
I took the revenue from that launch, bought a Mac Mini, and coded non-stop.
We re letting users take over Votap One thing that s been really cool lately? The emails. People telling us what they like. What they d change. Which politicians we should add next. I answer as many as I can, but it made me realize something: If Votap is about public opinion then the app itself should be shaped by public opinion too. So in the next update (coming very soon), we re adding a proper feedback space directly inside the app. You ll be able to: Suggest features Request politicians Comment on ideas Upvote what you want to see next Other users can vote on suggestions too so we build what people actually care about. Votap is a people platform first. So the product should evolve with the people using it. We want this live before our next bigger user acquisition push (aiming much higher next time ). If you want to help shape it, download Votap from the App Store. More tomorrow.
Hi Everyone! Our app is designed to be used at site and I always felt that response speed is critical for seamless app use
It appeared to be a compromise. This specially relates to audio and TTS we use. We can use very naturally sounding TTS models, but they may take about 1 minute to respond. Or we can use something which responds in 5 seconds but quality will be lower. How much do you think a user can wait for response before she shuts down the app as it takes too long?
Big news! DevSecOps, EU-based company @Aikido Security just announced a $60M Series B at a $1B valuation.
@madelinelawren wrote in their blog announcement:
Today, Aikido is used by 100,000+ teams globally, including customers like the Premier League, SoundCloud, Niantic, and Revolut. Over the past year, we grew revenue 5x and more than tripled our customer base. (...)
The next chapter is about self-securing software. Not security as a reactive activity with dashboards and manual weeks long testing. Rather, software that can secure itself on demand.
Gitmore lets you ask questions about your GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket repos in plain English. Instead of filtering PRs, scanning commit logs, or interrupting engineers: "What shipped last week?" "Who's been working on the API?" "Which PRs have been open longest?" "Summarize this month's releases" Plain English in, plain English out.
How it works:
Connect your repos via OAuth. We register webhooks. Every event gets normalized into a structured schema commit message, PR description, author, timestamp, files changed. The AI queries structured data, not raw text. PR descriptions and titles carry context that individual commits often miss.
1. Recently, several small bloggers have talked about ProblemHunt: a few from the USA, a few from Spain, and one from France. And we noticed an obvious thing: traffic from these countries, although not much, has started to grow.
2. But the most important thing is that people from these countries have started sharing problems more actively. For example, in the last month alone, France has already submitted 4 problems, three of which were published yesterday and today.

Ho ho ho! We ve been busy improving the platform instead of adding flashy features but we couldn t resist. So yes, we added some flashy ones too. What's on the release:
