Whenever I m about to buy something (especially something more expensive), I can be easily influenced by recommendations from people I trust and know. That might be well-known accounts on X or suggestions from friends.

Or, I go and read the reviews.

Laura here from @Atlas , and the team is genuinely curious about something we keep hearing from founders:

"We know we need to launch pricing, but..."

and then there's always a but.

hi PHs! I just popped up to be here after a year of being inactive on this platform and this is actually my first time posting a thread.

so, my team and I have been building a tool. it s a Gutenberg blocks page builder plugin for WordPress, namely Gutenverse. it comes with a lot of features, blocks, and themes made exclusively for users to choose or customize as they want. we've been working on it for over three years and it keeps growing (now having more than 34,000 active users).

lately, we're curious and looking for feedback. we've been thinking like "what kind of features currently we don't have but people need these days to make their website-building journey easier?"

I'm interested to hear what everyone has to say about this! Especially in tech, the world and people's needs are constantly changing. This means that the products we're creating have to change with it, and the most successful products tell people what they need before they know they need it. As exciting as this is, it's super hard too. Reaching out to fellow trailblazers: what do you think about this? What are some of the tradeoffs?

During the time spent on Product Hunt, there are already quite frequent faces who have profiled themselves as top hunters through their activity.

Their names are prominent among hunters, and they probably have to think twice about what they stand for.

I originally came to Product Hunt just to launch a product. But the more I explore, the more I realize this is a really interesting community. There are lots of great ideas, smart people, and valuable discussions.

The thing is... I still feel kind of invisible.

I ve posted a few times. Some posts got a few upvotes, but barely any comments or replies. It feels like I m talking into the void.

So now I m wondering:

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.

Hey everyone!

We were ready to launch this week, but we decided to delay the official launch by seven days. We didn't hit a wall; we want Aera Vibe to feel right from day one. This is especially true on mobile devices.

I would like to follow up on the previous discussion on How far in advance do you prepare your launch on Product Hunt?

In this case, I would like to share with you, but also listen to you in a brainstorming session:

Product Hunt is great for discovery , but sometimes there are concerns about authenticity and trust when products are submitted by people not affiliated with them.

Would verifying domain ownership (e.g., via email or DNS) help ensure that only legitimate makers or teams can submit a product? Or would it add too much friction to the launch process?

By engagement, I mean upvotes, comments, shares basically anything that helps your product get to the top of the voting.

Do you have an overview of which tactics were most effective in this regard?

I made my first chrome extension using solely Chatgpt. I wanted to see if it was really possible for a non-technical person like me. I was really proud of myself, it inspired me to want to build more! But when I tried to add more features to it, I think the code got too bloated and messy and it just blew up so I just continue to use the extension for the basic need I have to save and organize notes I make on products that are interesting to me without all the bells and whistles I would have wanted. I wasn t trying to make money on it, just something to prove I could do it, and I got to feel what it was like to launch something on Product Hunt - yay!

But I ve also seen alot of posts/comments from more technical folks around the web hating on non technical people for believing that you can go from 0-1 and that these new tools are best to speed up work for technical people who already know how to code, not for newbies who end up with something that works by copying and pasting crappy code spit out by LLMs of their choice.

I often see the media sharing articles about layoffs due to AI, how junior programmer positions are less in demand, how there is also a decreased interest in copywriters and graphic designers, etc.

About 2 weeks ago, Teammates launched a tool (AI HR-ist), and right now I came across a post from a local marketer who shared interesting data about Ask AI (an internal AI/chatbot system), which today handles almost 94% of all routine HR requests, such as:

• vacation requests

• onboarding new employees

• payroll information and attendance records

• benefit selection and answers to basic employment questions

Results of AI implementation at IBM

• 94% of the HR agenda is automated

• Payroll, vacation, administration even terminations have been automated

• $3.5 billion saved

• 40% drop in HR costs

IBM also claims that employees are happier. The HR department s internal NPS score increased from -35 to +74 after the implementation of AskHR (source: HR Asia). 6% of questions are still directed at people AI has not yet completely replaced complex or emotionally sensitive situations.

Sometimes I wish I had a clear answer to this question, but... I don't :D

A lot of people ask me in DMs what to do and when the best time to start.

Hi I'm 'The Professor', from The Laughing Professor. I run a SEO agency and web hosting, but also have created our own SEO Tools, which we offer freely. Once you get really confused by all the data available our team will gladly assist you in making your site more visible. Back to our tools - That's why I'm here! I have a couple now, that I'm very proud of, and what they achieve. However, I think since I'm not a professional coder and do use other tools to help me in producing mine, and this can be a struggle in itself, trying to make my ideas come to life and function as I envisioned.
I have just set a 'Launch' of (white-label) AI Bot Tracker, on here and excited indeed to share what service it provides, and plan on sharing our other seo tools to here also.
What is your most tasking element of developing a brand new 'tool', and getting that tool to a functional 'app' even if at the start only you are using - prior to inviting other users to test and use?

Hello everyone, I am an SEO Specialist at Arvin AI, a tool that aims to help simplify AI. We have recently improved our UI/UX and I'm so pleased to share it with the community here. Follow me to keep up with the new product launches that I'm preparing!
