I've been having a lot of fun exploring AI and using tools like @Cursor, @bolt.new, @Lovable, and @Warp to learn how to build and make some apps for myself! I'm also noticing a tremendous amount of growth in folks creating their own apps using these same tools which has me wondering... if a company wanted to acquire someone's app or tool that was built via vibe coding, would it matter how it was built? Does the method of how it was built impact the valuation? In my idealistic eyes, I'd like to think it doesn't. As an acquisition is often much more than just the tech but also the user base, brand, and even team behind the product. If anything I think that acquiring a product that has been "vibe coded" and putting them into capable engineering hands would only enhance the product...or a least make the code base cleaner. I also believe that talent that is able to create stunning products with AI is currently a small percentage of folks, and that companies should be investing in acquiring that talent (either independently or via product acquisition) so that they can stay ahead in innovation while learning how to implement AI tools more efficiently in their orgs. Very curious to hear what you all think!
I ve seen a lot of people jump straight into building an app without validating the idea first. Some succeed, but many end up realizing too late that there s little demand for their product.

ICYMI: @levelsio shipped a flight simulator game last week. It's pretty fun, it's got some low poly / minecraft-esque graphics, pretty good physics, a turbo boost, and even PvP. The kicker is he built it, at least the version one anyway entirely by prompting @Cursor.
It got me thinking about a question that a ton of people have tried to answer in the past few years; What does the future look like for someone getting into development?
I m gearing up for my first Product Hunt launch, and I ll be honest I m both excited and a little nervous!
I m launching Movitalis, a workout tracker & planner designed for longevity. Unlike traditional fitness apps focused on performance, Movitalis helps regular people stay active and healthy by leveraging the latest research on longevity, without overcomplicating training. It s already live on the App Store, but I m preparing a major update and want to introduce it properly here on PH.
You barely see in person and sometimes, when you are international in different time zones, you are barely on video meetings + some people working at home can lack socialising.
I had joined PH for a long time now but haven't been using it that much due to my busy schedule. I have been reading through products and also commenting on some I see prospects in before now though.
Hi everyone! Emmerita here 1x startup founder with 3+ years of experience in ops, marketing, and strategy within my favorite work environment so far (startups).
I joined Product Hunt a few weeks ago, but, well procrastination won this round.
There are so many things a founding team has to put in place to get an idea into the market and take grounds to serve its target. I would love to know what advice you could offer a startup to commence with.
I didn't plan to share this, but I just remembered that I declared this year my year of many massive wins. Since that's how I see my year, I should be able to share wins no matter how "big" they are right now Guys, I've come to love PH and the wonderful community here My team and I are cooking up something really cool, and I can't wait to share it with everyone. In the meantime, I'd love to connect with more builders and creators here and keep testing more cool products. Pray tell, how did you feel when you hit your 25-day streak on PH? And how does it feel at 365? I'm really looking forward to celebrating that by December 24th
