Wow — this thread just got featured in today’s Product Hunt newsletter under "Click logic, revealed."!! 👀 If you haven’t shared "Your PH click logic" yet, curious to hear your take too: what’s the first signal that makes you stop and click into a launch? The newsletter summarized the discussion so far like this: • people look for a tagline that explains the outcome quickly • name and logo...

Any makers here localizing their product videos?

Many products today have demo or intro videos, but most of them only exist in one language. Curious if anyone here has tried localizing their product videos for other markets. Things like: • subtitles • dubbing • lip-sync • translating text that appears inside the video (slides, UI labels, callouts) I’m especially interested in the last one — translating the actual text inside videos (you may...

Curious follow-up for the makers here 👀 If you’ve launched on PH before — what do you think actually drove the clicks? Was it tagline, thumbnail, gallery video, or something else? Feel free to drop your launch page too — would be fun to analyze a few together.

What makes you click into a Product Hunt launch?

There are so many launches on Product Hunt every day. How do you decide which ones are worth clicking into? What’s your #1 filter or shortcut? Is it: • the name or tagline • the thumbnail • whether it’s relevant to your work • or just whether it feels instantly clear? Curious how people here actually scan PH. Wow — this thread just got featured in today’s Product Hunt newsletter under "Click...

CYlaunchedVisual Translate by Vozo
Fully translated videos — finally. Visual Translate adds the final layer — translating text inside videos — on top of voice dubbing, lip-sync, and subtitles. It detects and translates on-screen text, from slides and diagrams to callouts and labels, while preserving the original layout, style, and animation. Turn slide videos and explainers into multilingual versions and reach a global audience — without recreating visuals from scratch.

👋 Hi Product Hunt! CY here, founder of Vozo. I’m an ex-Googler researcher who helped build core video technology for Android, Glass, and Photos. Visual Translate is Vozo’s 3rd launch on Product Hunt — bringing the last missing layer of video translation: the text inside videos. It builds on our previous successful PH launches around AI dubbing, lip-sync, subtitles, and translation quality. 👉...

Subtitles feel solved now — but how do you translate text inside videos?

It feels like speech and subtitles are mostly solved now. But one part of video localization still feels surprisingly manual: text that appears inside the video itself. Slides. UI screens. Signs. Product labels. Graphics with embedded text. If you want to translate those, the workflow usually becomes messy — recreating graphics, editing frames, or just leaving the text as-is. Curious how others...

@compelling_owo Congrats on the launch — this feels like a tool for me already. Quick question: does it work in ChatGPT Atlas yet?
Meme? Yes

At what point does a side project stop being “just a side project”?

On Product Hunt, I’m open to any strong product — even if I’m not the target user. I usually skip when: The use case or user isn’t immediately clear. If I can’t tell who it’s for and why it exists in a few seconds, I move on. The design feels weak. Design is a proxy for thinking. Poor UX/UI usually signals deeper issues. The best launches make both obvious almost instantly.

Same here. I mostly judge by the tagline + first 1–2 assets. If I can’t quickly grasp what it is and who it’s for, or if the visuals feel low-effort, I usually move on. What I like about your list, Nika, is that it captures this invisible layer of care. It’s rarely one big thing — it’s a bunch of small signals adding up. Curious how your Jan 28 relaunch goes 👀

I think it’s a win-win. It might even be worth having a dedicated thread to collect projects that didn’t work. Not as a graveyard, but as a shared learning archive.

Do you think founders should talk more openly about projects that didn’t work?

founder blind spot?

Many products are hard to explain in one sentence — especially to their own founders You live with the idea every day. You know the problem deeply. You automatically fill in the gaps. Users don’t. That gap — between “this is obvious” and “I have no idea what this does” — feels like one of the hardest parts of building and launching. So I’m curious: * Have you ever been surprised by how users...

I did my first Product Hunt launch back in 2015, when the community felt especially pure — lots of honest critique, real feedback, and very little noise. PH has changed, but I still believe it works best when we treat it as a maker community, not just a launch channel. Show up, support others, and give thoughtful feedback — and you’ll usually get the same when it’s your turn. People here are...

Really enjoyed this — thanks for sharing. One angle I’ve found helpful is product–channel fit. ph newsletters seem to work best for builder-first, easy-to-try products where the value clicks quickly. That often overlaps with to-developer tools? Curious how others here think about matching product type to ph channel.

It feels like founder-as-distribution is slowly becoming the default advice, not a deliberate choice. I don’t doubt it works — but I think it’s highly stage- and context-dependent. For many founders, especially building globally or outside hype-driven markets, the real cost isn’t money. It’s focus, emotional energy, and long-term credibility. Curious how people here decide when this becomes...

Is “US-first” still the right default for AI products?

With today’s tools, translation (UI, copy, even video) is no longer the hard part. What slows us down instead are things like tax, legal compliance, hiring, support, payments — sometimes even geopolitics. The moment users show up from a new country, a “product” problem turns into an operating one. That also makes me wonder: Is “US-first” still the right default for AI products? Or do some...

When do you actually decide to go beyond English?

I keep going back and forth on this, so I’m curious how others think about it. At what point do you start taking non-English markets seriously? only after you feel solid PMF in English? when inbound users from certain regions show up? by picking one market early (Japan, LatAm, etc.) and committing? or do you just… keep pushing it off to stay focused? It feels like most of us know global users...
