Bounce rates are getting worse every year, especially with the rise of disposable and fake emails. I noticed that many validation tools only check the syntax (valid/invalid) but don t really tell you the true quality of an email.
Out of frustration, I spent the last few months building a lightweight Email Validation & Scoring API that goes deeper: disposable detection MX & DNS checks suspicious patterns role-based filtering and a scoring model from 0 to 10 I shared the tool on Product Hunt if anyone wants to see how it works or give feedback: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... Question for everyone: How do you validate your lists before running a campaign? Do you rely on syntax checks or deeper scoring?
I ve been talking to a bunch of creators lately and noticed a pattern. Most spend a surprising amount of time searching through Google Trends, YouTube trending, X, Reddit, etc just to find one or two solid content ideas.
Some said they lose 1 to 2 hours a day. Others feel like they keep spotting trends only after they re already saturated.
Most people think users choose products based on features or price. In reality, support decides who stays.
A cheaper tool becomes expensive fast when every issue turns into a ticket nightmare. Meanwhile, teams keep paying more for products that solve problems and support them when it matters.
Support is not a cost. It is part of the product experience. Fast replies build trust. Clear answers reduce churn. Companies that treat support as a growth lever win.

I m about to launch my product, ViralSort 2.0, and I m exploring whether to launch with a Product Hunt hunter or do it on my own. I ve launched a few products both with hunters and independently, but I m still not convinced which approach truly drives more visibility, engagement, or traction. Has anyone tried launching with a hunter? Did it make a noticeable difference, or would you recommend submitting independently? I d love to hear your experiences, insights, or even lessons learned from both approaches!
Product Hunt was created specifically to showcase what you do. But let s face it, with the progress of AI, there are more and more products and you don t have time to test them all (respect to @gabe , who does this job brilliantly).
I noticed that as my following grew throughout social media, more people contacted me wanting to test products. Of course, I don t have room for everyone, and what s even more shocking is that to get to me, they want to compensate me for testing.

At a time when everyone allows themselves to build any solution using AI, it is difficult to differentiate themselves, and makers are betting on more aggressive distribution.
Some differentiate themselves with good tech support, some build their personal brand as a founder, and some pay influencers.
