The psychology of second launches - anyone else terrified? 😅

Hey PH community!

Random thought while I'm overthinking everything: second launches hit different than first ones.

🤔 Free or not free? 💰

What's one feature you're completely torn about pricing. Should it be free to hook users or paid to drive revenue? Builders, let's help each other out!

Introducing Ambassadors: For Makers, By Makers

When I first launched on Product Hunt, I had no idea what to expect. I wasn t sure anyone would notice our little startup, and honestly, I felt intimidated. Everyone seemed so established, and I didn t know where I fit in.

But then something incredible happened. A kind comment from @aaronoleary. Encouragement from the PH community. Support from the Product Hunt team when we ran into issues. A hunt from @benln. A thoughtful reply from @rajiv_ayyangar himself.

  • That first launch became Product of the Day.

  • We were later nominated for Product of the Year.

  • In 2023, I was named Community Member of the Year.

  • And now in 2025, I ve been invited to serve as a Product Hunt Ambassador!

How we hit top #1 on Product Hunt— and what I’d change next time to achieve way better results

Hi PH community,

My team and I just launched Byterover a self-improving memory layer for coding agents on AI IDEs like Cursor, Windsurf, and more.

We ve been sitting at #1 for the past 18 hours since launch. Super grateful but I also think we could ve done a lot better with better prep.

Is it really good to succeed at a young age?

I often met people with the mindset:

"I'll work hard until I'm 30, and then I'll enjoy the fruits of my labour."

Many people wanted to get into the Forbes 30 Under 30.

Anyone else feel like presentations haven’t really evolved?

Hey there, lately I ve been thinking on why do presentations still feel so manual?

Even with all the tools out there, making a deck still takes a ton of effort. And once it s done, it s usually just a bunch of static slides. You present, people (hopefully) listen, and that s it. Especially for things like onboarding or training, it still feels like a one-way street.

Thoughts on the new product/hub redesign?

Product Hunt has launched a significant reconfiguration of the product hub embedding launches within a company's or hub's frame:

Anyone using a WhatsApp Chatbot for their business? Results?

I ve been researching WhatsApp chatbots for business and tested a few tools. The potential seems huge:

  • 24/7 customer support without hiring

  • Automated lead capture from chats

  • Payments directly in WhatsApp

But I m curious:

  1. For those using one:

Do you trust AI more than humans?

I noticed an interesting pattern in my surroundings:

  1. People are very sensitive about their data (GDPR, etc.)

  2. But the same people are willing to share their health, partner problems, intimate relationships, etc., with LLM.

Chat GPT becomes a therapist.

Show your 404 page (yes, really)

Most people phone it in on their 404 page. Some of you didn t. If yours has a little personality or went completely off the rails drop it here. Let s see who actually tried.

Here's ours! It cycles through different team member's pets because who doesn't love pets?

Notes from a failed Product Hunt launch

After hours of reading best practices, crafting the perfect assets and assembling what felt like a bulletproof plan, we were ready to launch on Product Hunt. We worked so hard and genuinely believed we d wake up to thousands of sign ups and the Product of the Day badge.

The reality was very different. We saw a tiny boost in sign ups, got stuck at around 200 upvotes, and to top it off, finished below a food blender.

Is a university degree still worth it if you're building a business?

I graduated 4 years ago, and I had the opportunity to go on to a PhD, but I gave up on that option.

Instead, I chose the "real world".

Many public universities in my country offer free tuition, while in the US tuition is very high, and people take out student loans that take decades to pay off.

How do you minimise churn rates for your services/products?

Since the start of the year, over 30 people have approached me about working together only a few actually paid.

The paying clients were straightforward: they booked, paid, and it was done.

The rest asked endless questions and wanted previews, and then disappeared out of nowhere.

What are best payment gateways for global sales?

If you're a SaaS, digital product, agency or freelancer what payment gateways do you use to handle local methods, taxes and subscriptions?

PayPal charges me 5% per transaction and their support is unwilling to reduce it to 3% for me while I know they do lower the transaction fee for certain accounts.

When is the right time to delegate work tasks to another person?

My environment consists of many solo founders.

However, when I see someone is already starting to hire an employee, the question crosses my mind:
What profit has that person achieved when they can afford to pay another extra person?

Do you use an AI Email assistant? Which do you recommend?

We've seen so many AI email assistants pop up recently. The one I'm most intrigued by is Cora. I just got off the Cora waitlist and am taking it for a spin this weekend.

I still get shiny penny syndrome when I see new productivity tools but I am starting to double down on the simple approach of doing less is more impactful. Cora sends you email summaries only 2x a day, and crafts different responses you can choose from and only surfaces the most important items so you aren't reacting to every item as it arrives and aren't living chained to your inbox. I'm excited to see if it actually improves my productivity AND impact.
