Jake Hoover's profile on Product Hunt

About

Jake Hoover is a solo founder and builder based in Portland, Oregon. He's spent his career moving fast across software, operations, and products, most recently building MailThePresident, a civic tool that turns anyone's voice into a real, physical, first-class letter delivered to the White House. He builds with React, Node, and whatever gets the job done, and has a habit of going from zero to shipped in days rather than months. When he's not building, he's probably thinking about the next thing.

Share your letter here! What did you write to the President?

I spent a lot of time tuning the AI prompt to preserve your actual voice, not sanitize it into generic policy language.

Curious to see what people wrote and how it turned out.

Ask me anything! Solo Founder, built in 2 days, launching today

Hey PH I'm Jake, I built MailThePresident.

The pitch: physical mail to the White House is still one of the most effective civic channels that exists. Staff reads it, tallies it by topic, reports it up. Way more signal than a tweet. But almost nobody does it because the friction is too high.
