Most social tools feel like they were built for someone else.

My friend and I were running into the same brick wall over and over again: we'd attempt a tool, be excited for about 10 minutes and then it'd be like it was built for another team, another workflow, or honestly, another era.
Some were clunky. Some were too complicated. None of them worked how we needed.
So we set out to build Loopify, something we'd actually want to use ourselves:
Quick. Efficient. Simple. Doesn't get you thinking you require a training program just to book a TikTok.
We are looking for as much user feedback as possible. Talking with teams, individual creators, small brands, anyone who's had to fight through tools just to keep up online.
If that sounds like you, I'd love to hear:
What's your biggest friction point with current tools?
What's one teeny feature you'd love to have but never see?
Or just something you dislike doing that could be simpler?
Seriously appreciate any ideas you pitch our way.

What hobbies or skills do the founders in the Product Hunt community have?

Whenever I click through to the social media profiles of the makers in the product hunt community, I find that they are quite versatile and are involved in things other than just business.

What other skills do you have besides your work skills?

Weekend Bugs, AI Prompts, and an Accidental Feature

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a quick update from my weekend vibe coding grind ,i mostly use v0 for building and here is how I accidentally landed on something cool.

I was deep in bug fixing mode on @Unrealshot AI . you know, the usual why is this broken now?! kinda vibe. For the last 8-10 days, no sales, competition s tough out there. While working through those bugs, I started thinking about ways to make the app more unique, useful, and personal.

What if it could create photos not just of one person, but couples too? Real, believable couple shots from just selfies.

💬 Let’s talk ColourSense!

We'd love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you have. Here are a few things we d be especially excited to dive into with the Product Hunt community:

Curious how it works?

Ask us about the AI behind ColourSense, how it detects skin tones and undertones, or how we built our color palette logic!

Favorite minimalist personal website?

@catt_marroll reminded me of @natfriedman 's website: https://nat.org/ - in particular the section "Some things I believe" which I really like.

There's also https://amasad.me/ from @amasad and the classic https://www.paulgraham.com/.

Does your company welcome juniors and interns despite AI progress?

Do you remember when we talked about Duolingo replacing staff with AI about a week ago?

The story continues.

Is It Crazy to Build a Local App in a Browser-First, AI-Driven World?

Every day, the PH feed is packed with shiny new SaaS tools most of them browser-based, many of them AI-infused. It s exciting, no doubt. But compared to a time not so long ago, something seems missing: local desktop apps.

They re rare now, and it makes me wonder are native apps still worth building, or have they quietly slipped into the realm of nostalgia?

After all, web apps offer clear benefits for both users and makers or investors. Users don t have to install anything, updates are seamless, and their data is accessible from any device with a browser. For investors, the advantages are just as compelling: a single tech stack, easier user onboarding, lock-in effects, and plenty of levers for driving growth and virality.

Testing, testing, does anyone want to use this?

Sound off in the comments or let me yell into the void.

Seeking feedback: What if you could vibe code pixel platformers? 👾

Hey everyone!

So, I've been playing around with this idea lately, even built a small proof of concept using Gemini 2.5 and DALLE 3. Not impressive, just to check AI can build something like this. You can check the game here - https://game-sandbox-puce.vercel...

Vibe coding process - do we jump in or plan it out?

I'm super curious how everyone starts to vibe code? In the beginning I would simply jump into @bolt.new or @Cursor and just do a prompt and continue refining with the AI. I quickly realized this created a lot of issues as I didn't think about the structure, tech stack, and how I wanted the features to interact with each other and how the way I was building things would impact the user experience. I now do the following:

  • Write down a simple problem statement: "what am I trying to solve?"

  • Write down a simple solution statement: "what does the thing I'm building do (to solve the problem)"

  • Share the above with @ChatGPT by OpenAI and word vomit my thoughts, ideas, how I want the user to interact with my app, etc and ASK ChatGPT to turn everything I said and want into an easy to understand directive and instructions for an Engineer.

  • I then take the Engineer instructions and give it to a new chat in ChatGPT and ask it to turn those instructions into a prompt for an AI engineer and to break up the project into sections so that each time we focus on a section the app is shippable and keeps things easy to work on.

  • I take the output and paste it into my notes. I then give it to Cursor.

  • Once in Cursor, I create a new project folder and got at it!

Curious what everyone else does and if you've experience any things to avoid or must do

Has anyone else used v0.dev to build a real MVP? Would love to swap notes

Hey everyone

I ve been building products for a long time (15+ years), and I recently tried using v0.dev for the first time. Honestly didn t expect much, but I was surprised how quickly I got something real off the ground - not just a playground UI, but a fully working fitness app with protected routes, dashboards, flow logic, the works.

It s called The HIIT PIT and it s live, but that s not why I m posting.

I m more curious to hear from other devs and indie makers:

Windsurf users: which models are you using?

There's a lot of options for models these days. I've been using Claude 3.7 but I'm curious what's been working well for others. What model are you using and why?

Is the thinking version of @Claude by Anthropic worth the extra credit spend? Does @DeepSeek work well enough to save some credits? Is it worth trying any of the @ChatGPT by OpenAI models?

How to protect yourself against fraudulent payments? Helpful tips while trying products.

I am following up on the forum from the previous days when you started a lively discussion.

I outlined what not to do when you are a maker and what to do when you want to be more trustworthy.

Today, I will share the opposite.
