It starts with one button.

A button is the simplest way to communicate with an app.

To trigger an action. To complete a task.

It s simple. Though so difficult to get right.

Still feels unreal. Last week, we crossed 10,000 people using Pretty Prompt!

Just 3 months after launch .

What started as a weekend hack to solve our own problem, is now loved by so many users around the world!

Hey community!

I wanted to share something I've been noticing a lot lately that might save you some headaches.

Hello friends, and welcome back to the changelog. The devs have been running on a balanced diet of espresso shots and questionable amounts of energy drinks, which means you guessed it: fresh updates are here. From saying goodbye to Coming Soon, to giving you a shiny red self-destruct button, to sprucing up Alternatives, and a shiny new footer, we ve packed a lot into this round.

Coming Soon Forum Threads

The old Coming Soon pages have officially retired (and you lot noticed). From now on, every new product you create gets its own forum thread. It is your place to share updates, drop teasers, or just shout into the void while you wait for launch day. People can still follow from your forum page to get notified when you go live, but now you can actually start the conversation early.

Here s the story behind a small detail in the @Flowtica Scribe's charging case. You don't often see "rapid iteration" with hardware, but the core principle of obsessing over the little things is universal.

A simple realization sparked this feature: since the Flowtica Scribe is a real pen, users will face that classic moment of "ink anxiety." A spare refill is essential, not just for practical needs, but for peace of mind. During development, dozens of refills were used, which reconnected the team with the simple joy of pen-on-paper writing.

I just had a launch that wasn't featured and must say it's a bit disheartening experience. I have existing customers who showed up with love and support keeping us on top of the "not-featured" list. But apart from them, not many people have a chance to see other launching products at the moment.

• We were #9, but if you browse the featured products, the "Launched today" ends on the last featured one - #8.

• The front page shows only the featured ones - there was a "Show more launching products" button, but it disappeared at some point.

• The launching today page again displays only featured products and you need to know to click "All" to see more. It's the only place where you can see the other ones.

So you can build momentum however you want, but as long as the editorial team doesn't give you a green light, you won't get noticed.

I really like Claude, and I use it nearly daily. I feel like I'm probably missing out on taking full advantage of it though, because I've never used Projects.

Any tips for using it effectively? Is it better to keep the Projects very niche? Or does it work alright with general/ongoing work?

To the sellers of upvote bots:

You're not "supporting" makers. You're misleading the community.

Product Hunt was built to surface genuinely useful, creative, and innovative products. The moment fake upvotes flood the rankings, it becomes harder for real builders to gain visibility and easier for spam and mediocrity to win.

Remember when products designed for consumers unexpectedly revolutionized how businesses operate? For example, Discord started as a chat app for gamers but is now essential for remote teams.

Its journey from gaming-focused platform to business tool is fascinating:

• Originally built for gamers needing low-latency communication

• Features like server organization, voice channels, and role permissions were perfect for gaming

• Discord thrived during the pandemic as businesses discovered its community-building strengths worked brilliantly for remote collaboration

• Now powers everything from customer communities to virtual events

Weekends are for side projects!

Share what you're going to be building or an idea you're kicking around.

Every day, the PH feed is packed with shiny new SaaS tools most of them browser-based, many of them AI-infused. It s exciting, no doubt. But compared to a time not so long ago, something seems missing: local desktop apps.

They re rare now, and it makes me wonder are native apps still worth building, or have they quietly slipped into the realm of nostalgia?

After all, web apps offer clear benefits for both users and makers or investors. Users don t have to install anything, updates are seamless, and their data is accessible from any device with a browser. For investors, the advantages are just as compelling: a single tech stack, easier user onboarding, lock-in effects, and plenty of levers for driving growth and virality.

Sound off in the comments or let me yell into the void.

I'm doing a little research on the traffic on this platform. Many people ask when it's a good idea to launch a product on Product Hunt.

I'd like to know your perspective on how you spend your time here during specific seasons (weekends, holidays, summer).

I remember reading an essay by @rrhoover about how he moved from his native Oregon to San Francisco after university studies, where doors full of networking opportunities opened up for him.

I saw the same thing in my country after graduation. About 80% of my classmates went to the capital, where there are the most opportunities in marketing and tech. (Or they went abroad.)
