What’s your “digital burnout” moment that made you rethink your habits?

I recently hit a weird kind of burnout not from overworking, but from being constantly online.

Between coding, Slack, Twitter, YouTube, and checking analytics, my brain never really rests.

Even when I take a break, I open another app.

Best Clipboard Manager for Mac?

@Paste just launched their latest version, and tbh I'm considering switching over but I'm curious to hear what other people use?
I know @Raycast has a pretty powerful and integrated one that I'm considering using. I currently use @ Pasta which I love.
Do folks have any they recommend? What's the consensus?

What tools did you find on Product Hunt long ago that you now can't imagine a life without them?

I've been on this platform for over 2 years, and we have to admit that the number of tools that appear here every day is truly unimaginable.

Sometimes it's hard to select the best ones, but I have to say that some that I found a few months or years ago, I still use every day because they are useful to me in some way.

What are the biggest challenges when building a truly global product?

Hey Product Hunt community!

I m currently working on a product designed for users around the world, and as exciting as it sounds, building something truly global comes with a lot of unexpected challenges.

Here are a few that I ve encountered so far:

Do you trust autonomous (robo) vehicles? And who should be responsible for any related accidents?

We often cover software topics on ProductHunt, but sometimes we overlook the fact that tech can be felt most in the physical world (hardware).

As of mid-2024, there have been approximately 3,979 reported incidents involving autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the United States since reporting began in 2019. Source

Do you use Product Hunt more/less during summer, weekends or holidays?

I'm doing a little research on the traffic on this platform. Many people ask when it's a good idea to launch a product on Product Hunt.

I'd like to know your perspective on how you spend your time here during specific seasons (weekends, holidays, summer).

Has AI affected the way you recruit, assign tasks, or how many people you employ?

One week ago, I noticed in one Facebook group (nich : Graphic design) this discussion post:
TL;DR: Due to AI advancement, he receives 70% less work as a graphic designer  freelancer.

[The text was translated from the Czech language to English.]

Which cities (in your country) are tech hubs and offer many job or business opportunities?

I remember reading an essay by @rrhoover about how he moved from his native Oregon to San Francisco after university studies, where doors full of networking opportunities opened up for him.

I saw the same thing in my country after graduation. About 80% of my classmates went to the capital, where there are the most opportunities in marketing and tech. (Or they went abroad.)

FOR FUN! Can you guess what generation someone is from based on what apps they use?

I always feel like I m aging myself when I suggest using @PayPal to send money. ( Don t you have Venmo? my little brother asked me years ago. I quickly made an account but honestly, I only use it with him.)

It s wild how fast things have changed. First, @Venmo and @Zelle took over, and now there s @Wise , @revolut , and probably dozens of other ways now to send people money instantly.

Anyone else here using GPT Scheduled Tasks? ✅

For those who haven't tried it yet it's a new feature in GPT-4o that lets the chatbot proactively message you at scheduled times. Just type something like "Remind me to check my email tomorrow at 10 am," and it will set the reminder for you automatically. When the time comes, you'll get a push notification or an email with the message.

Examples I've successfully tested:

Any favorite MCP tools?

I'm fascinated by the ability to extend what Cursor can do with MCP features but there are so many out there, with some of questionable pedigree, that I'm having a hard time finding the gems.

I've tried a few but so far I've only gotten good usage from the Think tool which allows Cursor to basically jot down notes on it's process which it can then refer to later. Theoretically allowing more context than just the context window https://github.com/DannyMac180/m... Since I've installed it Cursor seems to use it a lot but it's hard to gauge how much it helps in practice. I'm glad the AI likes it though :)

Pt 2: I have had success with guerrilla marketing?

I originally asked if guerrilla marketing works in another thread. Here are the results from my first experiment with this style of marketing!
On 3/31 I launched a quick and dirty (pun intended) tool:

With the hope that the CTA at the bottom of the page might drive some traffic to the personal finance tool i'm (constantly talking about) building.
So what happened?

TL;DR:
Nearly 2,000 people visited my meme
A little over 300 people clicked the CTA
A little over 20 people made accounts
Marketing like this feels useful! and I will continue to try things like this in the future!

Pivoting our SaaS: Stick with Business Owners or chase Marketing Agencies?

My two co-founders and I have been building WebGremlin, our first SaaS, for 1-2 months now. It s a website analysis tool. After we did the customer dev, we targeted three groups: business owners, marketers, and marketing agencies. We validated business owners with an MVP and made a few sales, so we started working on version 1.

We are having a soft launch now and it showed lower than expected conversion from business owners. However a few marketing agencies reached out, asking for an agency plan and are ready to pay, even without the features they want, basically saying "shut up and take my money".

Now we re stuck. Agencies seem like the hotter market, but pivoting means redoing our homepage, marketing, and adding features, more dev work when I d rather focus on marketing. Also we haven't done our official launch so it's still early to say if we should pivot or not.
Do we stick with business owners or pivot to agencies?
What s the smart move here?

Help me quit Chrome

I've been using @Google Chrome for years and honestly never thought much about changing. It just always seemed like the best and easiest option. Lately though, I've been feeling like maybe I'm missing out. Chrome doesn't feel like the no-brainer pick anymore, and I'm seeing more and more interesting browsers out there.

Currently, @Horse is my top pick. This is the one I'm most interested in trying out, but it also seems like a pretty different approach. I don't necessarily want my productivity to dip, but that may just be inevitable whenever switching.
