I work with startup teams and use AI tools almost every day for writing, research, support, and more. It saves a lot of time, no doubt. But there are still things AI just can t do well.

For example, when reading customer feedback, AI often misses the real meaning behind the words, like when someone sounds polite but is actually unhappy. Or when making product decisions, AI can list pros and cons, but it doesn t really understand the bigger picture or timing like a human would.

I'm seeing more products launch on Product Hunt that require payment to actually use any features. No free trial, no freemium tier, just a download that leads straight to a paywall.

Part of me thinks this makes sense. If your product has real value, why give it away? People on Product Hunt understand they're looking at premium tools. Plus offering free access can attract users who will never pay anyway.

But I also see the argument for temporary free access during launch. Product Hunt users want to actually try what they're upvoting. How can they give meaningful feedback or become advocates if they hit a paywall immediately?

We're planning our new SaaS blog and could use some advice on the tech stack.

What's the best way to build a blog these days for good SEO and an easy workflow for writers?

We're debating between a CMS (like Ghost/WordPress), building it directly into our app, or a simple static site (MDX). How did you build yours? Curious to hear what you'd recommend!

Also, for early-stage SaaS products still in MVP phase, what setup would you recommend to keep things simple but still SEO-friendly? Is it better to start scrappy with MDX or Notion + super.so-style setups, or go straight for a Headless CMS if we plan to scale content quickly?

Hi there! I've been working in content marketing & SEO for almost a decade - and while I've seen many announcements of the death of SEO, the current search climate, combined with the latest announcements from Google are strong signals that SEO may (finally ) be over.

What do you think? Is "answer engine optimization" the answer?

Not looking for the obvious 'use a VA' or hire freelancers.

What s one thing you do that makes delegation actually work for you as a founder?

Could be:

A way you brief people

I noticed an interesting pattern in my surroundings:

1. People are very sensitive about their data (GDPR, etc.)

2. But the same people are willing to share their health, partner problems, intimate relationships, etc., with LLM.

Chat GPT becomes a therapist.

We are a small team of 2 who built NotionApps - a no-code app builder specifically designed for Notion users.

We first launched NotionApps on Product Hunt late 2023. Back then, it was just an MVP. We ve since added a variety of features and all the essential building blocks that turn Notion into a reliable backend to build apps, special thanks to feedback we got from our early users.
We launched our second version today, and felt like this is a good time to engage with the Notion community here.
