Bolt vs Lovable, which do you prefer?

Currently playing around with @bolt.new after being inspired by @gabe and building a bunch of mini apps, mainly for fun. Haven't pushed any to production yet but so far I'm enjoying it bar the odd hiccup where I have to roll back a few times to fix a stubborn error.

I've also looked into @Lovable and it seems pretty cool but wanted to see what people had to say about it. Is there any reason to pick one over the other and which one have you settled on?

Subscription vs Lifetime Plans – what do you prefer (and why)?

Every time I try out a new app or SaaS tool, I go straight to the pricing page, even if I don t plan to buy or subscribe. I m just curious to see how much they thinks it s worth.

Most products still stick with the good old subscription model, which makes sense, it's reliable, predictable, and aligns with ongoing costs. But more and more apps are starting to offer a lifetime option as well, and honestly I kind of love that.

In what situations would you prefer a virtual consultant over a human one?

Hi everyone!
Since GPT-4o came out (GPT-3.5 wasn t good enough), I ve been using AI (not only OpenAI) for many things.
I ask questions about marketing, legal stuff, taxes, travel plans, health almost everything.

It s fast, always available (not free, but not expensive either).

But when I have to make an important decision, I still go to a real person a human consultant just to be sure and double-check the final details.

I think many people here on Product Hunt use AI a lot too. So I m curious:

Beyond Product Hunt: Where Else Do You Launch Your Product?

Hey Product Hunt community!

We gearing up for the launch of WebGremlin.ai and of course, planning to submit to PH. But I m curious, where else do you share your products to get traction? What are other platforms, forums, or communities that have worked well for you (like hackernews)? And while we re at it, what s your go-to initial launch strategy to make some noise?

Thanks in advance!

Is making money the only measure of an app’s success?

A successful product is often seen as one that is well-commercialized, with users willing to pay for it. But is that always the case?

Today, I came across many products that are incredibly fun and creative. It made me wonder: are there products that don t fit the conventional definition of success? Maybe some exist just to bring joy, even if users simply visit, smile, and leave.

Some might argue that if something brings value, people will naturally be willing to pay. But is that always true?

Has AI helped you do what you couldn't before? Or still figuring it out?

I think by 2030, the real question won't be "Do you use AI?" but "Can you work without it?"

I noticed this in my own life recently. 

I always said "I'm terrible at design" whenever I needed to make something look nice.

B2C AI Adoption: Is advertising AI features a Plus or a Minus for Growth?

I'm seeing a growing trend of B2C products actively advertising their AI features as a USP, claiming AI being the prime solution.

However, being back in my hometown for a weekend, I've heard a lot of apprehension around data privacy and a general lack of understanding "what happens in that blackbox". Nothing I hear very often back in Berlin, so demographic differences are clearly playing a big role in user receptiveness.

Transparency is crucial, no doubt. Advertising AI on platforms like producthunt or in decks for investors makes a lot of sense - that's the right audience.
But are we far enough along the AI adoption curve for "AI-powered" to be a major selling point on the customer-facing side? Or are we scaring off potential users with concerns about data usage and complexity?
Let's discuss!

  • Have you seen AI transparency hurt or help your user acquisition efforts?

  • How are you addressing user concerns about AI?

Apps that push you to create?

Last week, I downloaded and purchased @AgBr after seeing it on the homepage. Its design and super specific goal just immediately clicked with me. I love black & white photography, and this was a really interesting and approachable way to experiment with it; even though I've never been much of a photographer myself. I'm usually just appreciating others' photos.

But then, over this past weekend, I noticed that I kept feeling compelled to take pictures throughout my day so that I could play around with different filters and try out different levels of film grain on them. Having the tools to create was suddenly making me look for more and more opportunities to use them.

How (not) to gather first users when you are an unknown brand. May be helpful to new product makers

From testing new products, I've come to several conclusions and possibly also identified mistakes that product creators make when launching them.

Whenever you want to attract your first testers (especially those who are well-known), try first to build up your credibility.

AMA - how to craft a launch strategy that will break Product Hunt

Hi everyone! We're hosting the AMA LIVE on X (Twitter) and will be answering questions posted on the Forum during the Live.
Join the Live X session here: https://x.com/producthunt/status...
A while back we launched @Wordware and broke Product Hunt during our launch.


We're here to share bits of wisdom from our launch strategy, answer launch questions you may have, and even help point you in the right direction for the launch day!

Bolt vs Lovable, which do you prefer?

Currently playing around with @bolt.new after being inspired by @gabe and building a bunch of mini apps, mainly for fun. Haven't pushed any to production yet but so far I'm enjoying it bar the odd hiccup where I have to roll back a few times to fix a stubborn error.

I've also looked into @Lovable and it seems pretty cool but wanted to see what people had to say about it. Is there any reason to pick one over the other and which one have you settled on?

Which of the Product Hunt metrics matter to you the most?

I ve noticed that the purpose of people on Product Hunt is always different. Of course, the vast majority want to become the Product of the Day, Week, Month, or Year (or win Kitty Awards).

However, some are there for the community and their success metrics may lie in something else (e.g. the number of discussions created and rated).

What are the biggest collaboration challenges between Product and Eng teams?

As a PM at Lyft and now building a tool to help PMs and engineers collaborate better with each other and other stakeholders, I ve seen firsthand how difficult alignment, documentation, and decision-making can be. Curious what s been your biggest challenge working across Product and Engineering while building and aligning on documentation, and what has actually worked for you?"

Cursor is now my go-to for PM work—goodbye Google Docs!

Recently started consulting with a startup, and I ve fully switched to Cursor for all my PRDs and PM needs no more Google Docs or anything else. I ll never go back!

With MCP, I ve even connected Google Docs, just in case I ever need it right inside Cursor itself, haha.

Oh, and I m nudging the devs here to try Cursor too slowly moving them away from Copilot.

What do you think the future looks like for developers when it comes to AI?

ICYMI: @levelsio shipped a flight simulator game last week. It's pretty fun, it's got some low poly / minecraft-esque graphics, pretty good physics, a turbo boost, and even PvP. The kicker is he built it, at least the version one anyway entirely by prompting @Cursor.

It got me thinking about a question that a ton of people have tried to answer in the past few years; What does the future look like for someone getting into development?
