Today, I read a study showing that social media use is linked to weaker reading, vocabulary, and word-recognition skills in teens under 16.
Yesterday, I read an article saying that students who used AI showed up to 55% less brain activity and remembered less.
According to the news, if this is what technology was supposed to help us with and make our lives easier, then I don t see the future very brightly.

On the contrary, I have to say that I use AI for education (e.g. for building, explaining things when I do not understand them). But 80% of people just take the information and do not bother to think about other things.
Yes, we can save a lot of time, and mental capacity/energy with "no memorising" but do we really spend that saved time on something useful and meaningful?

Hey there,

I am Nikolas and with my 30+ team we like giving back to the community. So, while I cant support every project that launches every day (I can barely keep up so somedays I dont even log on PH), I do want to make an effort for dev tool projects, especially those helping with AI code assistants (and platforms that could help me evaluate their effectiveness), IDEs, productivity tools and more. I am also interested in SaaS products with an API or simply APIs, especially APIs that leverage AI and can help developers build better (and faster).

We all have that one tool that quietly changed how we build, ship, or market something we found way later than we should have. For me, it was a simple log monitoring tool that saved hours of debugging at 2 am.

What's yours? Could be for design, code, analytics, user research, or even project management.

Trying to discover some hidden gems the community actually uses (not just the popular ones).
