You ve built something new. It solves a real problem. The team s excited, you ve shipped it, the feature s live...

And then crickets.

I read in TechCrunch today that Perplexity is trying to dominate the Indian market, which could potentially increase the number of users (and thus compete with OpenAI).

Perplexity is trying to attract more users by offering a free 12-month Perplexity Pro subscription normally worth $200 to all 360 million Airtel subscribers. (That is the cost for them.)

I ve been fairly active on Twitter and have come across several founders and creators who hold very different views when it comes to having a family.

The opinions vary, and I really appreciate that people are open about discussing it.

I ve heard a lot of people say summer is a bad time to launch on Product Hunt.

Everyone s on vacation.No one s on their laptop. Don t even bother.

Hi PH,

I'm starting the process of developing YouTube videos to support a launch I'm planning for in the fall. It's for a B2B edge networking product addressed to a Developer and CloudOps audience

I can safely say that Product Hunt is the first platform where I managed to achieve a relatively large number of followers as a person.

(It wasn't the plan, because the plan was to focus on the Slovak community on Instagram, and I'm honestly glad it didn't work out.)... Anyway...

Everyone says Validate before you build , but no one tells you what that actually means until you re deep in it.

Maybe you launched too soon, built too much before talking to anyone, or trusted feedback that sounded nice but meant nothing.

Hey Hunters!

I just opened beta access to public.

I have been vibe-coding exclusively for about a month now. I am a senior software engineer and I have always been interested in the "no coding" approach to software development. I want software development to be easier, more accessible to everyone. So I switched to vibe-coding daily and writing less code directly or with AI assistance. When I read about other's experience, I feel there is this notion that vibe coding means the computer will think through all the details of the software and deliver an error-free product. This is not true and sets us up for frustration.
Vibe coding can be immensely powerful if we are willing to do some ground research. Start with Claude Code best practices. You do not have to understand all the technical concepts right away; just an overview may help a lot. And many of the points can apply if you are using tools other than Claude Code.

Majority of software for our general use has a UI layer and a data + controller layer. The UI layer is what we typically call "frontend" and the data + controller layer "backend". The UI layer loads in our browsers, desktop or mobile. We can even have native mobile apps for it. The backend layer stays on a computer connected to the Internet that we access from our frontend. We call the Internet connected computer (that serves the data for frontend) a "server". The backend and frontend communicate using an API (application programming interface). When we combine a software with all three parts and the tools needed to put everything in their place, we generally call it "full-stack software".
With these basic terms (frontend, backend, API) we can build simple, usable software much more easily than we may think. We can use OpenAI, Claude, Gemini or any of the top open source LLMs (large language model) to help us break down our software into parts that then can be coded by Claude Code or a similar code generation tool.
There will be obstacles, there will be confusing steps and frustration. That happens when we send our software ideas to developers too. What I want to encourage is to try. Learn about the topics a little, some basics of a software development workflow, how GitHub manages software development, what does DigitalOcean or Amazon Web Services provide, etc. It is OK if we do not get a fully working, bug-free software launched in one go. If we can learn how to use these new tools, so many more people can build the software they need.

My current work place, the tool chain from discovery to delivery is kind of a little wild... a mix of gsheets/gdocs/miro/figma/notion/jira and slack..
In previous places we stuck to teams + conlfuence + jira

Which do you use?

Summer has begun, and that means most people are going on vacation, the work pace slows down, and many businesses experience a dry spell.

No one feels it more than marketers.

Hey Product Hunt,

We re just a few days away from launching a new tool in the penetration testing space, and I d love to hear your thoughts.

Most early-stage teams still treat paid marketing like a side task writing copy manually, guessing at targeting, and wasting budget on trial and error.

We built Nyra AI https://www.getnyra.ai/ to change that.

It helps founders go from idea high-converting ads real results in minutes, not weeks.

No agencies. No spreadsheets. No guesswork.

Product Hunters,

Let's talk about Anthropic's Claude. Everyone praises its focus on safety and responsible AI, which is admirable. But I can't help but wonder: does this intense safety alignment sometimes come at the cost of raw capability or uncensored utility, especially when compared to rivals like GPT-4?

Is "safety" becoming a convenient justification for certain limitations, or is it genuinely paving the way for a more trustworthy, albeit potentially more cautious, AI? What are your thoughts on this balance? Does Claude's "helpful and harmless" sometimes feel... too careful for real-world innovation?

Hit me with your honest opinions.

I'm currently a team of 1, and some days it can be hard (and lonely) to just keep grinding. Curious to hear from other solo builders here how you stay motivated and consistent over the long run?

Things helping me a lot right now:

• Private community to share progress

• Lots of small releases

• Reaching out to current users to get more feedback and direct work

• Reminding myself that it sometimes just takes time

For I've been dealing with this problem - How do you guys manage to handle all the posts, links, content and research on the trends? Don't you all feel a bit too cluttered managing it all on bookmarks, notion or even inside the saved features of the apps themselves?

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.
