The beauty of writing

There is a beauty in the way we use reason and develop the ways in which we communicate with each other. I've been thinking about how we interact nowadays. Take this text, for example: rendered on a screen, through a "cloud," on the internet, using a machine to enlarge, revise, and improve it... it's so common now that, when we stop to think about it, it becomes completely incomprehensible. At its core, it's about transforming energy into symbols and symbols into meaning.

This is nothing new, of course. Humans have been developing many tools, but I believe the central point for all of us, as a social species, is that we need each other to accomplish tasks, even when we automate them, and to be able to work together, we need to communicate.

Lifetime plan vs. subscription model? Sustainability issue

More and more companies are using a subscription model instead of a one-time payment for a product.

Duolingo, CapCut and the like are examples of subscription models (monthly or annual), while DaVinci Resolve, for example, has a lifetime license.

Most beautifully crafted developer tools launched on Product Hunt?

In a recent issue of The Breakpoint, we talked quality software.

Does design matter to developers? In my opinion, yes. Take Stripe, Linear, and Resend for example. Both dev-first products made craftsmanship a first principle.

How its Started , How is it going

Written on sourcepilot.co

If you ever wonder how a project come to be, sourcepilot did not started as a desktop text editor, it was a source gathering app.

What do you mean source gathering app? "

How to increase your visibility and grow your audience through Product Hunt discussions

The more users a platform has, the harder it becomes for your own posts to stand out. But the process can be much simpler than it seems!

SourcePilot v1.0.0 is finally here

[Version 1.x] - November 17, 2024

Added

- AI-Powered Word Counter: Real-time word tracking that distinguishes between human-written and AI-generated content

Those who launched a product this year on Product Hunt, what would you do differently next time?

Every launch comes with new learnings. The platform is changing over time, but many things don t depend on the platform itself they depend on how you approach the launch: your pricing, customisation, or how early you show up, and more.

What did you learn from your launch, and what will you adjust for next time?

How many of you are gonna invest into your YouTube marketing in 2026?

I realised how important videos are in search results.

This and the previous week, we reached out to many creators for custom videos on various topics that include the client's product. (I gained some overview about prices for such a video and need to say that if things go well, it can be a good investment in the long term).
