I formally studied marketing as a university program (5 years), and due to inspiration on social networks, it feels completely natural to do it, even easy to learn (because most of the time you just guess what might work for you).
Just think for a sec. You've told different chat agents your role, your tech stack, your client preferences, your project constraints - hundreds of times across hundreds of conversations.
But where does all that live?
Scattered across chat histories. Fragmented across different platforms. Sometimes contradictory, & mostly out of date.
Hey, We're building an open source tool for creating live, interactive product demos. Think Navattic or Arcade, but self-hosted and free to run yourself. The repo is at https://github.com/exploitx3/liv... and our homepage is https://livedemo.ai.
We kept running into the same problem: you build something great, but getting prospects or users to actually understand it before they sign up (or churn) is surprisingly hard. Existing demo tools are expensive and make it painful to export or customize anything. That felt wrong, so we built LiveDemo.ai. Here's what it does:
Capture and replay your product as an interactive walkthrough, with no heavy instrumentation required Self-hosted so your demo content and user data stay on your infrastructure, not ours Open source under MIT so you can inspect it, fork it, and extend it however you need
We've kept setup as simple as possible. The repo includes Docker local setup and one-click deploy for kubernetes so you can be up and running in minutes.(Will add the kubernetes manifest soon)

In the last week, I was restricted twice on LinkedIn (where I have a community of more than 8k+ people) (the first time for 48 hours, the second time for 72 hours).
Over the years I've shipped a lot of code and watched a lot of great products needlessly fail. Not because the tech wasn't good, but because the demo was an afterthought and the sales story never landed.
Talking to fellow founders and developers, the same frustration kept coming up: "I can build it, but I have no idea how to show it."
That is exactly why I built LiveDemo.ai. A tool that helps founders and developers create demos that actually convert, without needing a marketing team or a professional designer.

It is better to see once than to hear a hundred times
I am a Computer Science student doing research into how solopreneurs and small startups create new apps and what their stack looks like. Particularly, I'm interested in how you handle things like authentication, billing, and permissions/authorization in your apps.
Let me know what you're working on below and how you're going about it -- I'd love to connect for some quick calls to learn about your product and talk about your process in building it!
Two months ago, I'd never heard of Product Hunt. When I told people we were launching @AI Context Flow here, they told me to keep my expectations in check.
Fast forward to today: #1 Product of the Day and #1 Productivity Tool of the Week.
The journey was chaotic, humbling, and honestly surreal. If you'd told me this would happen, I wouldn't have believed you.
To everyone who upvoted, commented, and cheered us on: Thank you. Your support means everything and keeps us building. If you need any tips on how we pulled this off as complete first-timers, ask your specific questions below
Thanks to supabase I was able to get my project up and running in record time. I use oauth, edge functions, storage, database ofcourse, queues:pgmq and pgvector.
Please check out the project at https://github.com/vpuna/vpuna-a...
It's a semantic search platform for structured and unstructured data , with MCP support and more
I am wondering does all software companies allow their employees to use AI code editors like Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code + Copilot, Webstorm AI? Myself currently I am on the fence for using AI Editors at Work, I only use Cursor for my own project Because I think it could potentially expose a risk for the company What if there is a Supply Chain Vulnerability and one of those editors sends an update that could steal your corporate credentials? Do you guys think a product that will specifically work as a plugin for VS Code to protect "marked" files from AI, will be useful? Do you currently use AI Editors at your workplace?
Builders, for those of you who have launched on Producthunt or actively engage in comment sections; What is the ROI here? As a new user and builder myself, how do you get the most value out of this platform?
For those who've launched: How many people are actually following through with feedback, beta testing, or staying in contact long term? Are those 10-20% of people worth it? For those active in threads: How do you get value? How often does the scratch my back and I'll scratch yours exchange actually take place/help? Are you just here to scroll? If you come here looking for an answer, how much time do you spend looking for it before you go to the next platform? Is reddit the alternative? If you have any good strategies, let me know!! Would love to learn more.
I'm a product nerd. I love demoing and testing out products and am blessed that I can do this as part of my work here at Product Hunt but I sometimes forget to share my thoughts and impressions from testing products with the community....and I want to change that! What would you like to see if I were to start sharing some reviews, product comparisons, and first impressions of Products that are launched or discovered? What aren't you currently seeing in reviews! Throw any ideas, ask me anything, this is ultimately for you all!
