When Your Brain Buffers, Slashit Finishes the Message | Dynamic Templates for Smart Replies

We ve all been there trying to write a message or report, and your brain just slows to a crawl.

That s where Slashit App s Dynamic Template feature takes over.

It lets you build structured templates for your everyday communication client updates, reports, or weekly check-ins. Add placeholders for names, dates, and details, and Slashit App fills it all automatically.

Monthly review: Which launches were the most successful on Product Hunt in September?

September is the month of the comeback.

Summer s over, work season begins and Product Hunt is no exception. Activity is clearly higher compared to July and August.

Why we went Claude-only (v0.5.0)

When we first launched prjct/cli, the idea was to work with every AI editor @Claude Code, @Cursor, @Windsurf (my fav), @Codex by OpenAI. Sounded great, right? But in practice it was a mess:

  • Tons of extra code just for compatibility

  • Features blocked because we had to play lowest-common-denominator

  • Testing was impossible to trust

What would stop you from adopting the app?

I'm thrilled to have launched on PH! As is likely typical, there was a spike in interest, which will naturally wane with time. I'd love to continue to solicit feedback, and have folks inform me what they would like to see change!
Thanks so much, PH world! Any and all thoughts welcome!

We built a .NET + Angular boilerplate to help dev teams save months of setup. What do you think?

Hi Vibercoders,

We ve all faced the headache of setting up enterprise-grade apps from scratch. That s why we built a .NET + Angular 16 boilerplate that comes ready with:

  • Microservices structure

  • Security & auth

  • CI/CD configurations

Do you prefer using boilerplates like this, or do you feel more comfortable building your own stack?

Vibe Coded a dev tool for Vibe Coders!

Hey everyone,

I don't actually like using the term "vibe coding". We've been software developers for over a decade ,are not one-shotting features, and have a very opinionated and strict dev process.

I just vibecoded an app that would help with my MBA

So I vibecoded Worktagg a simple, AI-driven platform that drops a real case study, expert takeaways and a quick quiz into your inbox every day. The goal is to turn case prep into a small daily habit instead of a giant cram session, and to give anyone the same quality of insights you d get inside a top consulting firm.

It s built to be lightweight, practical and actually enjoyable to use I use it everyday since I love solving this cases. In case you wanna try!

Have you ever done this!?

I cannot be the only one who nearly burnt a bridge with the re-all-on-bcc trick.

Anyone have any funny stories or have seen this happen in your world?

So, why did we create this?

Because I did it! I'm guilty. I did the thing, I hit reply all to an email I was BCC'd on, and not even 2 minutes later, I see "Dude... you were BCC'd" I was embarrassed, and apologetic. Somehow we are still friends, but I felt like I "burnt" her a bit, and that is not something I wanted to feel again.

I think we've all been there, or at the least observed it happening. After a handful of research cycles, we observed tha the problem is a universal thing, and makes you question why the native email platforms dont further emphasize or flag you as a "hidden observer of the email". Just a single click path stands between you and exposing that.

Experience with Google CASA Tier 3?

I had a great idea! I gambled big and hired a dev team. They built the app, and handed it over to us (deployed on Vercel)
Since we are a signed Google Partner, we wanted to standardize on GCP, and we did.

The app requires the full .drive scope, which of course google does not take lightly. They scheduled us for a tier THREE CASA... we were betting on Tier 2, nope.
Anyone have experience or helpful tips on navigating / preparing for this?

Hey PH Folks!

Hello all! I'm Jason Rivard.

I spent an entire career in tech, I must have a natural love for it.

My first "real" job? Selling the first generation of digital cameras and camcorders (alongside film and VHS ones!) at BestBuy. I always took pride in being the "guy that could answer any question" about any of the products we sold. I moved up into the world of cell phones, spent a decade in telecom sales, then moved into the world of servers, storage and networking (pre cloud era!) Soon, with the cloud wave, I found myself immersed in global SaaS companies. Today, I find myself venturing off into my own endeavors. I currently run a small, NH based firm that focuses on developing pragmatic uses of Ai. I find myself obsessing over the notion of using Ai to free humans for higher order tasks.
Ive also fallen in love with Product Hunt, I guess you could call me a long time lurker.

BCCBro - Never accidentally reply-all to a BCC thread again

BCCBro detects when you're BCC'd in Gmail and shows unmissable warnings before you accidentally reply-all. Large and bold enough to catch your attention, subtle enough to look native to GMAIL. Since GMAIL didn't build it in, we did!

👋 Hello PH! Building AI for influencer marketing

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Lizzie, excited to join this amazing community of makers! I've been working in marketing and I'm currently building an AI agent that helps brands discover and manage influencer partnerships more effectively - basically trying to solve the chaos of finding the right creators and tracking campaign performance. Looking forward to learning from everyone here and would love to hear: what's your experience with influencer marketing? Any major pain points?

What we learned relaunching on Product Hunt

Our first Product Hunt launch didn t go well. We put something out there, pushed for votes, and hoped for the best. It didn t work.

For our relaunch, we took a completely different approach. Here s what changed:

  • Engage, don t just post. We spent weeks commenting on other launches, supporting makers, and building trust. This time, people recognized us, not just the product.

  • Conversations > upvotes. What made the difference were detailed comments and feedback. The algorithm rewards authentic engagement.

  • Storytelling > specs. Instead of listing features, we shared why we built it and the problem it solved.

  • Timing is everything. Launching at midnight PST gave us momentum when the U.S. audience woke up.

  • Expectation reset. PH is less a sales channel, more a credibility engine. The real ROI shows up later, in awareness, trust, and partnerships.

What stood out the most: The community. The honest feedback, encouragement, and tough questions shaped our roadmap more than any internal discussion could.

Looking for beta testers: Built CodeRide to solve AI context amnesia

After rebuilding the same project three times because AI forgot my architecture, I got fed up and built @CodeRide (Beta) with my team.

The problem: AI code assistants lose track of your project between sessions. Every time I start coding with Cursor, Claude, or any AI assistant, I waste time re-explaining my codebase structure, architectural decisions, and coding patterns.

What we built: The project management tool for coding agents using MCP. Upload your project documentation or PRD, and CodeRide breaks it into optimized, fully contextual tasks ready for your AI agent.
