It’s a carbon copy of old twitter, with a younger, different community. I will readily admit that X has turned into a really terrible user experience, but I’m not sure the old thing that worked up until Elon‘s takeover can launch again from scratch today. I do believe a new great social app will emerge. I think it’s going to have to look new and do something different to stick.

I’ve been a fan of living near friends for my whole life: I grew up on that magic kind of street where we knew our neighbors and I could play with other kids on the block. The older I get the more I realize how foundational that wider network was for my happiness and I think also made it easier for my parents to raise me. I’ve been living in communal houses for the last eight years and...

Ever since we launched Jupe, a high-tech room designed for off-grid living, the #1 and #2 question were... where you do #1 and #2. After over a year of research and experiments, we are excited to show the world the Portal, our update on the portapotty. A bathroom should be a calm oasis for you to take care of yourself. An always-on fan makes sure things are smelling fresh, and you can enjoy...

As a founder, I’m surrounded by peers who all seem to have ADHD - as @christal points out, it’s by no means an indicator of lack of intelligence, and in fact is highly correlated with people who don’t follow traditional career paths and have an appetite for risk taking. While adderall and other pharmaceuticals have a place in ADHD treatment, they are typically ineffective with out...

My friend mentioned using this for the last few months. It seemed too good to be true, but she had nothing but good experiences. I'm happy to see it seems to be doing well enough (to raise money at least!) and am going to try subscribing...

Squads coins are like NFTs in a fan club. They give fans access to their favorite creators which is cool in and of itself - it reminds me of the early days of Twitter and Clubhouse where a few of us mere mortals could connect with influencers we might not meet otherwise. The thing that really makes it interesting, though, is that the value of your portfolio grows as your creators’ following...

We all know the current consent experience is terrible. Why? Broken consent managers. Transcend has engineered a different way with: 1. Complete consent compliance - possible through nuanced regulation of all tracking technologies (not just scripts) 2. Easy to use in a 30KB bundle - quick start set up (including no code compatibility to popular privacy signals like GPC and Facebook’s LDU) and...

What's impressed me most about the Jupe team is the execution: from Jeff's first sketches of this idea, to selling the prototype, to manufacturing dozens of units that are already in the wild - this may be one of the fastest-producing hardware (much less housing) companies in history. I can't wait to see where Jupe is next year - to the moons!

A company I am advising is just kicking off a fundraise and this seems like a great alternative to Docsend :) looks well executed, easy to understand, and useful. Congrats @vincebelpiede and team!

These days there are so many people reaching out for 'catch ups' - it's so convenient to be able to just send them a link and see the appointment show up without having to send them specific times. It's a little thing but the kind of small convenience that will save hours and hours of work over the course of a year. Thanks @vincebelpiede and team for putting this together!

I’ve spent the last five years living in community homes that ranged in size from five to sixteen people. I don’t think it’s for everyone, but I do think it is something that would make sense for many more people than are practicing it right now. Which is why I’m teaming up with Phil Levin to write this guide. We want to distill the years of hard work we’ve put into figuring out what makes...

Pull out key facts and connect them together, squeeze a document to compare sections, draw a line to connect ideas in different documents, comment on multiple pages at once, build upon your thoughts, and much more... Liquidtext is the best tool I've found to analyze documents and organize your research.

When Pilot first launched their bookkeeping service on Product Hunt, the most common feedback was “Sounds great, but can you please also do my company’s tax prep?” Seems like the team at Pilot was paying attention because they’re back today with Pilot Tax: a tax prep offering targeted specifically at startups.
