Prompt Engineering or Context Engineering?

Hey PH community! I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about how people actually work with prompts while building a tool in this space, and I realized I have way more questions than answers. A few I’d love to throw out: Where do your “good” prompts live? Do you keep a library somewhere, or do you mostly keep them inside old chats? Do you test your prompt with different models? How do you...

The Best Marketing is Making Your Users Happy

I’m convinced the best marketing is just focusing on your users. Learning from them, and then optimizing the hell out of it, to keep them happy. This weekend, I went through reviews for @Pretty Prompt, and a few of them made me smile :) “Probably would have saved me at least $1000 this month alone if i had it before. If you are vibe coding just buy it!” “If you’re a beginner, it’s honestly a...

Hitting 7.94% Weekly Growth 📈 - Startup Learnings

Wow. Pretty Prompt just hit 7.94% week-over-week growth, doubling our usual of 3–4% per week. Good news: we pulled off something really hard. Bad news: now we have to beat it 😅. Why this matters: Consistently growing 7–10% weekly is one of the most powerful things you can do in tech. The math: Say you start with $1,000 MRR Grow 7% weekly You’ll hit $400k+ ARR by year one, $13M ARR by year two 🤯...

Founders, which hat are you wearing today? 🧢

First day back with my co-founder Charlie, and we showed up ready to build! Feels a bit like the first day back at school: excited, a little nervous, ready to dive in 😄. All of us founders wear multiple hats every single day. Product. Marketing. Strategy. Growth. Community. Some days it’s one. Most days… it’s all of them. So we made it literal: 🖤 Product hat 💛 Marketing hat I’m wearing both...

New Year, new features: Introducing Public Prompt Library 📚

Kicking off 2026 with something new 🎉 Meet the Public Prompt Library 📚 Quick story: Today I was helping my little brother build a website. He’s only 12, and already an incredible chef, selling homemade food 🤯. He makes the best Sushi Rolls I've tasted! We were using Lovable… and I got stuck. Not on how to write prompts, but on what prompt to write next. Landing page? Pricing? Copy?...

20,000 users... Just in time for the new year!

20,000 users. Just in time for the new year ✨ It’s not a finish line. Just another step. If you used Pretty Prompt even once this year, this one’s yours too. I can't believe we got here in just 7 months, all from that first PH launch... Tonight, it’s a glass of Malbec and family time. Short pause to close 2025. Then back to building. Salud 🍷

🎉 2025 was absolutely wild - 0 to 19k users in 7 months

While flying ✈️ to Argentina to visit my family for the New Year, I scrolled through my phone and realized how much happened since we launched Pretty Prompt on Product Hunt 7 months ago. Here’s a little photo-dump recap: 1️⃣ Pivoted from @Dolphin AI to @Pretty Prompt (super scary at first 😅) 2️⃣ Grew from 0 → 19,000 users (and counting!) 3️⃣ Built something people genuinely love (200+ 5-star reviews...
