Hey everyone!

Today's the big day, Mirage is officially live on Product Hunt!

If we exclude Silicon Valley, the one every entrepreneur has already watched, there is a certain kind of comfort I derive from movies and shows about people who actually built something. These days the struggle and the passion pull me in more than almost any other genre.

The last one to get me was Made in India: A Titan Story (2026) the story of a small team building India s first world-class watch. What stayed with me was the number of times they were on the cusp of shutting down before they made the slimmest watch in the world in 1990, not the eventual success.

I don't know if it's inspiration or just a way to feel less alone in the uncertainty of building something myself but I keep coming back to these stories. Some of the best ones I ve found were never big releases.

My top 5 (not necessarily in order):

We launched The Eureka Database yesterday, and honestly I did not expect to feel this much.

I did not build this to launch it. I made it for myself and used it quietly for a few weeks to decide what to work on next. Sharing it was a late call, and the response has been way more than I expected.

Thank you to everyone who upvoted, commented, tried it, and told me where it falls short. We made the top 10, finished 5th place in Vercel Day, and we even got featured in Product Hunt's newsletter, The Leaderboard, in an edition called "Steal your next startup."
