Merry Christmas or, if you re a founder, happy I ll just check one thing day.

I genuinely wish I wasn t writing this today.
I planned to be offline. I failed.

So my friends think I'm a nerd now
Can we talk about this for a second?
Last time I hit the pub with my mates? **Three months ago.** Three. Months.
They text me: "Drinks tonight?"
Me: "Can't, working on Context Sync."
Them: "Drinks this weekend?"
Me: "Context Sync."
Them: "Mate, you've become a NERD."
And you know what? **They're right.** And I don't even care.
Because three months ago, we had 10 stars on GitHub.
Last week? **We hit 56 stars.** And our downloads went from 550 to **1,500 in a single release.**
First star comes in. I screenshot it. Send it to everyone I know.
Second star. I'm hyperventilating.
Third star. I'm texting people: "IT'S HAPPENING."
By the end of week one? **10 stars.**
Ten. Whole. Stars.
And some people would look at that and think: "That's it? Ten?"
But for me? Those 10 stars were EVERYTHING.
Because those 10 people? They didn't know if Context Sync would work. They didn't know if we'd still be here in three months. They didn't wait for social proof or Product Hunt launches or tech influencer endorsements.
They just believed.

The First 10 - The Real MVPs
I wish GitHub made it easier to track early adopters. I really do. Because these people deserve more than just a star icon next to their name.
So I did what any obsessed founder would do: I dug through my entire feed to find them.
Here they are. **The Original 10:**
- [jbcrane13](https://github.com/jbcrane13)
- [thinking-bzf](https://github.com/thinking-bzf)
- [thamam](https://github.com/thamam)
- [wking1986](https://github.com/wking1986)
- [magisph](https://github.com/magisph)
- [DayByDayBy](https://github.com/DayByDayBy)
- [CMD73](https://github.com/CMD73)
- [KylerCondran](https://github.com/KylerCondran)
- [wise141](https://github.com/wise141)
- [manijeh-a](https://github.com/manijeh-a)
**You. Are. Legends.**
You didn't just star a repo. You validated an idea. You gave a solo developer the confidence to keep going.
And honestly? I owe you a beer. All of you. Seriously. DM me. We'll make it happen.
---
## But wait, there's a BIGGER legend
Not a bug report. Not a complaint. A REAL issue. A contribution. A "hey, what if we could make this better?"
**Jo, you're going down in history.**
Not just Context Sync history. Context engineering history. AI personalization history.
Because here's what you did: You helped shape how we think about AI memory. Not as a data collection tool. Not as another way for tech companies to harvest user behavior.
But as **infrastructure for developers.**
You contributed to the future of AI engineering. You made it more user-oriented. More accessible. Less marketing BS, more actual utility.
**That's legacy stuff right there.**
---
## Here's what we're actually doing (and why it matters)
Every AI agent tells you: "Don't add personal info!" "Use responsibly!" "We're not liable!"
Cool. Great. Thanks for the warning.
But nobody's actually SOLVING the problem.
Enter projects like [mem0](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0) - well-funded, ambitious, collecting your preferences, building databases of what you like and don't like.
And look, respect to them. They're doing their thing.
**But that's not OUR thing.**
We're not trying to collect as much info as possible. We're not building a database of your preferences to sell to advertisers or train models or whatever comes next.
**We're building infrastructure.**
Infrastructure that:
- Gives YOU control over YOUR context
- Works with ANY AI tool (not lock-in)
- Focuses on developer experience over data collection
- Makes AI engineering accessible, not gatekept
We're trying to be the **Git of AI context.**
Not the surveillance tool. Not the data harvester. The INFRASTRUCTURE.
---
## The numbers that make me lose sleep (in a good way)
Let's talk about what happened last week.
**Previous release downloads:** 550
**Last release downloads:** 1,500
We launched 3 months ago. THREE MONTHS. And we're already seeing this kind of traction.
You know what that tells me?
**People are TIRED of AI tools that don't remember.**
They're tired of re-explaining their projects.
They're tired of context-switching tax.
They're tired of AI that forgets everything overnight.
**They want infrastructure. And we're building it.**
---
## What actually keeps me up at night
It's not the tech. The tech is solvable. Always is.
It's this:
How do we make onboarding easier for the NEXT user?
How do we get specs from managers to developers seamlessly?
How do we accommodate every developer's preferred AI tool?
**Those are the questions I obsess over.**
Because here's my philosophy: **User-first means user experience > backend architecture.**
Yeah, the backend needs to work. Obviously. But if your CLI sounds like a robot wrote it? If onboarding takes 30 steps? If developers need to read 40 pages of docs to understand your tool?
**You've already lost.**
So that's what I focus on. Listen. Question. Speculate. Implement.
Over and over and over.
---
## The real talk about 2026
And here's what I'm thinking about as we head into 2026:
**The Goal:** 10,000 stars by end of 2026.
I know what you're thinking. "Ntina, that's insane. You're at 56."
**I KNOW.**
From a developer POV, it seems easy. "Just build good stuff, people will come."
But from a marketing POV? I know how HARD this is.
Building is the easy part. Getting people to NOTICE? That's the battle.
---
## This is where YOU come in
If you've made it this far, you clearly care about Context Sync.
So here's what I'm asking:
**Help us hit 10K stars in 2026.**
I'm not asking you to code (though PRs are always welcome).
I'm not asking you to donate (we're open source, always will be).
Tell your friends over a beer.
Tell your family over Christmas dinner.
Tell your coworkers at that after-work event.
Hell, tell ME over a video call (my email's on my profile - seriously, reach out).
**Tell them about:**
- A tool that gives AI actual memory
- Infrastructure for the polyglot AI future
- The Git of context engineering
- A chance to contribute to something that actually matters
When your friends say "Instagram's algorithm knows me SO well, it's like it's watching me" - tell them:
**"Yeah, it is. But what if YOU could build that kind of personalization for YOUR tools? What if you controlled it? What if it was infrastructure, not surveillance?"**
That's the conversation we're trying to start.
---
You've been my motivation.
You've been my sleepless nights.
You've been my reason to skip the pub (sorry, mates).
**You've been the proof that this matters.**
Every star. Every fork. Every issue. Every PR. Every discussion comment.
**It all matters.**
We're building something real here. Something that could change how developers interact with AI forever.
**And you're part of it.**
---
## Before I go
Christmas is coming. New Year's coming. 2026 is coming.
And I just want to say:
**Thank you.**
Thank you for believing in Context Sync when it was just an idea.
Thank you for starring when we had nothing to show.
Thank you for filing issues when you could've just moved on.
Thank you for telling your friends when you could've kept it to yourself.
**You're not just users. You're co-builders.**
And in 2026, we're going to show the world what context engineering can be.
**Let's make some noise.**

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or just... have a good December.

### P.S. - The Challenge
10,000 stars by end of 2026.
Screenshot this post. Set a reminder. Let's see if we can do it.
**If we hit 10K, I'm throwing a virtual party and everyone's invited.**
Beer's on me. (Virtually. You know what I mean.)
### P.P.S. - For the Contributors

TL;DR

Context Sync now plugs straight into Notion. Your documentation updates itself, your AI reads your specs automatically, and you never copy-paste requirements again. It's 2025 your tools should talk to each other.

No seriously. BLOCKS. You know what they call them?

Blocks.

Context Sync v1.0.3 - Your AI can now write directly to Notion.

I mean... can we talk about this for a second?

It's FRIDAY. Which is already a lot. Fridays are heavy. You've got the weight of the week, the promise of the weekend, the existential crisis of "did I accomplish anything?"

Guys, if you've created a product based on a problem from ProblemHunt and got your first users, you can tell about your product in our community and on the website for free. I can't promise huge traffic: the site has gotten 25k+ visitors in the last 1.5 months, but maybe this will help someone attract some additional traffic. For that, just write me the product name, a brief description, the target audience, and a link here: gostroverhovb@gmail.com

Yesterday was a big day for us, and we re still processing all of it.
TinyCommand finished as #2 Product of the Day, and for a small team that s been quietly building for months, it genuinely meant a lot.
We started TinyCommand because we kept seeing the same problem everywhere, people spending more time stitching tools together than actually doing their work.
Workflows breaking silently, data scattered across apps, forms living in one place and automation in another it never felt as simple as it should be.
That s the gap we wanted to close.
Seeing so many of you understand that instantly and even share the exact struggles you face made the launch feel meaningful beyond the ranking.
Thank you for the comments, the feedback, the upvotes, and the honest conversations throughout the day.
It helped more than you know.
There s a lot ahead for TinyCommand, and yesterday gave us even more clarity on what matters next.

Getting Devs to Change Their Workflow Requires Being 10x Better, Not 2x Better

And how Context Sync is building toward that 10x difference

Last night, I had what I thought was a billion-dollar idea.

Thank you. Seriously.
For believing in and actually loving context sync.

We re just 3 friends away from hitting 50 shining stars, and that honestly makes my entire week.

If those last three friends show up, the maker (yes, me) is 100% taking three celebratory vodka shots this weekend one for each of you legends.

on what the model knows when you say it. Dhunay

In V1.0.0, we added something small but meaningful:

a first step toward real team collaboration on the same codebase.

Prompt engineering focuses on what you say. Context engineering focuses on what the model knows when you say it. Dhunay

Context Sync v1.0.0 Real Context, Everywhere You Code

Ever wished your dev AIs could just remember no matter which editor or tool you jump to?

We ve officially passed 1,000 downloads in under a month thank you for being an early pioneer in the future of development: Context Engineering

Make project Todo's in continue, plan on those todo's in windsurf, act on the implementation in Zed. Context follows you everywhere. Best part is you as long as you have any of the tools installed to your local computer the moment you run npm install -g @context-sync/server its all automatically configured, plug-and-play baby. A new erra of ai development calls for a tool that understands your project

We make our debut on Tuesday next week stay tunned follow us on huggingface https://huggingface.co/mambaCodes

We ve got a big update: after ten years, we re officially sunsetting the Golden Kitty Awards.

Hey Product Hunt!
I m Yana Welinder, you might remember me from Kraftful.
Today, we re launching as part of Amplitude with Amplitude AI Feedback.
I ll be here all day answering questions about my founder journey, our acquisition, and more. Ask me anything!

Hey PH!

We just shipped v0.6.1 with two major features that our community asked for:

I launched JustRemotechJobs.com a while ago, a job board for remote tech roles.
No traction, but a lot of lessons. I realized I spent too much time building instead of validating.

Now I ve reworked the landing page with clearer CTAs and a banner for free job postings to attract the first real users.

Curious ... how do you decide when to pivot, rebuild, or keep pushing after a slow launch?

Am a freelancer here is one of the ways context sync helps me with my client projects.

P.S: I build and made context sync open source for particularly this reason. Managing my project across different AI agents.

We shipped V6 recently here s a short how to thread showing a real workflow: teach Claude the project s developer email context, let Context Sync persist it, then say continue where Claude left off in VS Code Copilot and finish the draft in Cursor all without copying context or managing .md files.

I ll share prompts and screenshots as I build. Want to shape the demo? Suggest an prompt scenario's (PR reply, onboarding, release note) and I ll run it live.

We shipped V6 a week ago and we re already looking ahead here s a preview of what V7 could bring.

V7 explores autonomous context management.
