Good reviews help everyone. They make it easier to find great tools and give makers valuable insight into how people use their products. That’s why we built in-depth reviews, so it’s easy to leave a good review that captures why you use a product and what makes it worth recommending.

In-Depth Reviews capture what real makers and users think about the tools they rely on. Each review highlights the best and worst features, answers product-specific questions, and includes what the reviewer built using the product.

This is often a mess of my own making but overzealous or conflicting auto formatting. Trying to make a 1 line change to a file just to have the editor helpfully adjust the white space on hundreds of lines is rage inducing.

Nice work! Plaid support is rad! Unfortunately Canadian bank support for Plaid is pretty much non-existent 😢 One feature I'd love would be an easy way to re-categorize things in bulk. I have some credit card transactions that I wanted to move to a different category that were pretty much all the same. I can re-categorize them individually but it'd be really nice if I could move them in bulk...

Some of my predictions: MCP will become more useful and important. I think it's still early days for MCP but allowing AI to interact across multiple applications and data sources seems incredibly powerful and I think we'll see this take off in 2025. We'll continue to see minor iterative improvements to models. I think gone are the days of massive leaps forward. Instead we'll continue to see...

This might not be the most useful but it's really cool to control my house from my launcher (and avoid the arduous 3 steps to the lightswitch 😂)

Auto cleaning up stale feature flags is really cool! It's always such a chore to remember to go back and clean them up and something that often slips between the cracks.

Best ways to fight dashboard chaos?

As my dashboards grow more complicated they always seem to descend into disorganized chaos with a bunch of different datasets and charts all over the place. What are some good way to fight the chaos and keep things organized when dashboards start getting complicated?

Windsurf users: which models are you using?

There's a lot of options for models these days. I've been using Claude 3.7 but I'm curious what's been working well for others. What model are you using and why? Is the thinking version of @Claude by Anthropic worth the extra credit spend? Does @DeepSeek work well enough to save some credits? Is it worth trying any of the @ChatGPT by OpenAI models?

This might not be the next frontier but I'm looking forward to AI that can consume context and information from more and more sources. Right now most AI code tools are pretty siloed to looking at the code and maybe pulling things from the web. It'd be great if they could inspect databases, peruse slack or parse production logs to better understand the problem I'm trying to solve or the feature...

I'm curious about how you see AI changing the nature of the "outer loop" in the future! What big changes to the reviewing/testing/merging/deploying process do you think we'll see over the next few years with AI? Do you think AI will streamline and simplify existing processes or radically upend them?

Cool; I'm impressed with how well it processed by CC statement! Some thoughts: I think a guided tour and/or landing page could be useful; especially to let users know they need to upload their cc/bank statements. Right now I don't think it's obvious the kind of files you're looking for. Even though my bank/CC statements don't contain much personal data it still feels a little scary uploading...

Memories are cool, memories with friends would be even cooler

Memories seem like such a killer feature of @Windsurf to me. I normally find the AI composed code is mostly right but it can often still get small things wrong because it might not know some architectural detail or the coding style I want. But with memories I can now tell windsurf about those things and avoid those mistakes! I can also do it on the fly, making it easy to iteratively adapt...

At @Product Hunt , we're closer to the trunk-based development approach, focusing on smaller PRs and making heavy use of feature flagging. This allows us to iterate quickly and gather feedback early. By shipping parts of a feature incrementally, we can get input from team members much faster than if we'd wait for a feature to be "100%" complete.

I've only dabbled a little bit with @DeepSeek but I think it's low cost is what really makes it exciting. It's also nice to see another open source competitor in the AI space!

As someone who uses @Windsurf as my daily driver, I think it deserves more love than it gets! The real magic to me is its ability to pull in the right context. When I used Cursor I had to do a lot of manual hand-holding to make sure the right files were included; Windsurf just figures out what it needs and includes it as context. I’m mostly using Windsurf with a larger, more complicated...
