Once you've helped someone else out, share your product link here and BE SPECIFIC about who your target audience is and how we can help.
As a maker, we often scribble a lot of things. Be it an idea, some todos, any link we found on the internet, or maybe a code snippet. Most of the time I use sublime text to scribble things. What do you use to scribble something? Currently we are working on Whatnote, a browser first notepad with zero learning curve. (https://www.producthunt.com/upco...) , so trying to understand the thoughts from the community.

Burnout and depression turned my life upside down a few years ago, I went from an ambitious high-performer to a lucky run if I get out of bed. I remember hating everything related to a career and goals that I used to love, feeling empty inside, really empty, I'm not talking metaphors here. It is a feeling that I do not wish on anyone. With ups and downs, sometimes feeling very accompanied and sometimes very lonely, I managed to recover after many attempts. I managed to love what I do again and change my meaning of success, of what I want and how. Those who have been through it know that it is a before and after. Since my recovery, I decided that helping this not happen to anyone else would be part of my life goal.
When designing a product, should we heavily lean toward user feedback or create products that we truly believe will work? Henry Ford famously once said, "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses". What's your take, makers?
Did you do it super early, during your beta or when your product was generating revenue? Trying to find the line between too early and too late right now
For the first time, I'm launching a B2B product. This product is a SaaS sales solution for a niche industry. We've always capped our free beta users at 15, for feedback cycles in my previous B2C launches. However, this product a much higher ticket item and the value itself has significant ROI immediately. I want to charge off the bat. But I'm not sure that's the right move right out of the gates (leaning prob not). I'm curious to hear from other makers who have launched B2B SaaS products and their thoughts about getting their first 1-3 users / customers (institutional level). Should the same methodology apply? (i.e. exchange feedback for payment) Appreciate any insight!
An open source project run by us today has over 40 odd contributors. We'd like to understand what growth strategy needs to be used here. Does anyone have experience with this?
So as you have already guessed I have a husky. It loves to add some horror movie vibes to my video calls by singing songs of his people. I occasionally see my colleagues' pets during calls, which triggers different reactions of the meeting members ranging from "oooh" to "oh". What's your take on this?
At Alset, we created a mobile app for bartering and I'm curious to know if your startup barters? For example, to barter programming skills for marketing, etc. We feel this could be a really useful way for startups to make strides forward using their resources creatively rather than burning through cash.
What are your thoughts on this idea?
Hi everyone! My name is Katrin - co-founder of Frich, which is a social finance app for Gen Z, and a Harvard Master's student. Being a non-technical person myself, what would be the best way to find a technical co-founder who could build an app? I'd really appreciate your feedback and help!
I am deep diving into the core problems of meetings to find the best angle to attack them, and would like your perspective on that! Also, some related questions I ve had in my head for a while now:
- How do you capture key moments (e.g. decisions made or next actions) during the meeting? If it s note-taking, what do you use?
- Do you share a report after the meeting and if so, how do you share it?
- Do you use a dedicated tool (e.g. Jira, Todoist, whatever ) to track next actions? As a PM in my current company, I take notes of most meetings myself, then consolidate minutes of meetings and share on Slack/Notion. Pretty burdensome, and the next actions end up kind of buried in my notes Never a good way to hold people accountable Thanks a lot
Do you think it is harder to raise capital as a solo founder? What are some things you should keep in mind?
Any tips for applying to accelerators etc. as an early-stage solo founder?
Most of the teams have currently been working remotely due to Coronavirus pandemic, and it affects our mental well-being to be far away from our co-workers.
