When someone asks me, "Are you a technical founder?" I don't have a great answer. First, I have a degree in humanities, not CS. I've self-taught code to be able to manage products and work with developers. I also design low to mid-fidelity wireframes, mockups, and prototypes, while driving growth with marketers to hit those business metrics. What's your definition of a non-technical founder? Do you think CS degree is a must?

Makers, we all make mistakes when we work on projects. If there were a time you can go back, what would you change and what advice you give yourself?

Which way do you feel confident and feel is efficient?

Q1 is ending. Share your upcoming projects.

Was it on accident or did you plan it all along? Was the first choice disappoint you more or the other choice was more attractive? Or have you, for whatever reason, as a person changed? And if you could give advice to a person that hasn't found their "true" career path yet or already have one but is afraid to make the change, what would it be? Really appreciate for any story and insigt Toodaloo!

Someone told me a line, which I thought would be good for a discussion to have: Accept it - "If you can't trust your team to work from home; you don't trust them at all." Ps: I like to work from the office Please share your comments and views on the same.

I ve tried Udemy, Coursera, Skillshare and Youtube. Just hear your thoughts on which you think is the best and if you know any other good ones you can recommend!

I've noticed Product Hunt has added a few gamification features like the "streak" on the landing page as well as badges for the profile pages. I think they are well done because they encourage the behaviour the platform wants to see and at the same time they aren't in your way. The "core" experience of Product Hunt always had a strong game-loop thanks to the upvoting and daily ranking dynamics but it is interesting to see these core ideas still being fleshed out more and more over time. Well done! Question: have you come across other apps or platforms that do gamification really well? Where it feels like part of the thing and not just like a gimmick? Any pointers appreciated!

Hey, Product Hunters. Share what you are currently working on this Monday. I would love to take a look at every project

For most of us here, working means looking at the screen for at least 6 - 8 hours a day by the end of which a brain freeze is likely, that s okay, that s work, we need to make things happen . Question is things you like to do after that to relax, please share with us

Hey PH community, would love some recommendations on this! With all the various legal documentation required to cover our backs while building a product, what are your affordable (free) solutions for these documents at an MVP stage, when a startup doesn't really have the budgets for this stuff?

What are you working on this week? Is there anything the PH community can help with?

As a female founder who is the non-tech co-founder of the team, I find myself sitting in a super minority group and get serious anxiety on certain days. Would love to connect with other non-tech / female founders and support the community in any way I can!

For me it would have to be the Anki robot! Loved that little thing!

For many people, going a day without using their phone can be a challenge due to the many ways in which phones are used in daily life. Can you live without phone for a day?

I worked from home for 6 years. Here are my best 20 tips for setting healthy work-life boundaries in 2023: . . . ... 1. Understand that you aim to find something that you enjoy doing most of the time. This is not a cliche. It is doable. 2. Get fiber internet, a 4k camera, a microphone, and lights. It will pay dividends. 3. Separate living from the working environment. When I shut the door of my basement, that's it. 4. I have my "office" shoes. I am primed to think that work just started when I am in them. It's a neat way to divide my routines. 5. Every once in a while, go to a coffee shop or work with somebody you like for a day. Or go to the office if possible. 6. Have focused time. Book off some time on your calendar without notifications, just deep work. Google Calendar now even offers it under "focused time." 7. Turn off sounds, notifications, and other distractions. 8. Put your phone out of sight and reach when on your laptop/desktop. 9. If you work on a computer, get a standing desk. That's it. Period. Go! And get that standing mat too. 10. Figure out what calms you. Example: Sometimes, I take a shower in the middle of the day. On other days I take a nap or go jogging. 11. It's OK not to be productive. Take time off the screen. Do it often. 12. Set up times in your calendar for meals, exercise, and hobbies. 13. Try and have at least 1 day/week without meetings. Book it off. Fridays are good days for that. 14. Jam as many meetings together as possible. Keep meetings from being spread out too much. It will kill your productivity. 15. Do meetings standing. You'll finish them quicker. 16. Try not to bring any digital/office gear to your bedroom. 17. Have two computers. One for work. One for fun. 18. Have an object that helps you to decompress... I have an electric guitar + an amp. 19. Print out some useful reminders. I have a picture that says: "Be kind to your mind." 20. If you can't get away from the virtual office, do something where you have to apply your undivided attention. For example, I do MTB or a long drive to someplace. Or do anything where you can't have the internet, and that'll do. :) And now I'll disappoint you. I don't believe in a work-life balance. Yikes! You are YOU (and should be!), wherever you are at work or home. In 2023 there's no need to fake/facade things. So keep playing and discovering. And you'll find the optimal balance between you and the output (legacy) you leave behind. No need to live two lives. Live one that matters. Keep creating!

I asked people what the last presentation they prepared using PowerPoint and they all said "Do you still use PowerPoint? What a shame!" :D Let me correct it this way: "What was the last presentation you prepared (eg. keynote speech, progress report, sales deck, etc.), and which presentation tool did you use?"
