Let me start from the creator s perspective: I personally don t have a product (apart from hiring people for creative work or offering personal consultations).
But as a creator, I constantly share content, insights, and information, value that helps me build trust (for free). Based on that perceived expertise, people eventually decide to work with me (a paid service).
Might anyone have some open URLs of their Vibe coded prototypes on Lovable / V0 / Bolt / Figma Make or Claude Code? I'm looking for some prototypes without logins to test a new version of our product which we'll be announcing next week. I'd like to check it on some existing Vibes.
Bonus points if you have a task for me to user test for you, I'd gladly share feedback.
Me and my partner have been dreaming to build a tech company for a long time. We wait for 30 years to have the courage because being a professional with a steady income was a high barrier to cross and more importantly, we have a family to feed. Then we invested patiently in tech companies and finally got FIRE. And here we are started our journey to verify our dreams. We have built our first app, which was an Instagram like photo app that verifies copyright with NFT. It is still sitting on the Apple app store with 56 users. It was a failure because users are not actively uploading pictures, and we have difficulties to reach out to photographers and artists, who are our target users. Then we started to build "Media-ana", a deepfake detection tool, which will be launched on Product Hunt on Friday. This is a beta version and we still need a lot of feedbacks to improve the product.
After diving right from a tech investor to a tech developer, I found developing is not the crucial part, distribution is. Finding the right users (persons/entities) are contacting them are the most difficult part. Let me know what you think.
tldr: yes. Shoutouts are one of the simplest distribution levers on Product Hunt.
Shoutouts are meant to pay it forward and highlight the tools that helped you build. But beyond goodwill, they create durable distribution for your product on Product Hunt and across LLM driven discovery.
When you shout out a product during launch, it becomes a founder review on that product s page. Founder reviews sit above regular reviews and include a link to both your profile and your product. That means your product is now attached to every future visit to that product s review page, long after launch day. For example, check out @timliao s shoutout of @Framer or @guymanzur s shoutout of @Base44
I am a Computer Science student doing research into how solopreneurs and small startups create new apps and what their stack looks like. Particularly, I'm interested in how you handle things like authentication, billing, and permissions/authorization in your apps.
Let me know what you're working on below and how you're going about it -- I'd love to connect for some quick calls to learn about your product and talk about your process in building it!
1 in 4 have some form of sight loss, so Product Hunt teams may be curious to experience their designs through Velocity blurred vision simulations now in open Beta: https://blog.appvelocity.io/blur...
A tagline is the first piece of content a user will see about your product on the leaderboard. It's so important that you get it right. You should be able to get a really solid idea of what your product is just by reading a handful of words.
In the spirit of forever optimising our taglines, I wanted to do a little experiment:

Heads up, we are increasing our pricing next week. Our early bird is coming to an end. Over 1k users have joined before we increased pricing. We won't raise pricing on anyone who got a previous deal. www.appvelocity.io
Exactly one week from now, I ll be co-organising a tech event (a hackathon), and I m realising how much work it actually takes. I ve been to many conferences myself to gather inspiration, but I still can t come close to what I ve experienced as an attendee. Maybe that s also because we re organising it as just a 3-person team.
If you ve been to hackathons or other tech events before, what made a positive impression on you?
In a time when big corporations are overpaying for their job offers just to steal the best talent from another big company, and in an era where everyone can build their own startup, there will always be room for people who prefer to join a team and work on something (in the future) big.
Hi we're live on Product hunt today with a fantastic new technique of simulating AI test users on your earliest prototypes.I'd love for you all to try out: https://www.appvelocity.io we are live on Product Hunt today!
https://producthunt.com/products...
Simulated users offer a ton of benefits to supercharge your design workflow:
Starting out with Velocity on your designs can be daunting, some just write "complete the flow" or "asdfasdfasdf" but this is guaranteed failure, it will not get you any further than if you had given a human the same direction.
Good clear prompts with context actions and outcomes make for good user testing. Writing a good test script with Velocity is mostly just the same as writing for a human. I've written a short guide to help you with Prompt writing but I'd love to hear your real world prompts and outcomes. Please can anyone share?
