The biggest update to Basedash yet, launching tomorrow

We first launched @Basedash earlier this year as an AI-native chart builder. You just describe the chart you want, and Basedash uses AI to visualize your data, no SQL required.

Now we're gearing up for our biggest update yet, launching here on Product Hunt tomorrow. Without spoiling anything, it should enable many more business users to finally get the data answers they need, without bugging engineers or data analysts on their team.

Which cities outside of SF are becoming large Startup Hubs?

I've recently seen more cities that are growing teams and building offices that seem to be growing rapidly? 
SF seems like it's one of many hubs that have been growing in the recent years. I'm trying to see which cities people are looking into and where people think will be the next startup hub? 
I've seen mixed opinions on cities like New York and Toronto but would love to hear what other people think as well!

Should the European Union control chat communication? [Chat Control Law]

Very quick summary:

The EU s proposed Chat Control Law would scan all private communications for child abuse material, but critics warn it undermines privacy, weakens encryption, risks mass surveillance, and could expand to policing political dissent.

Restrictive Reddit's move: is blocking archive posts protecting users or censoring history?

A few days ago stumbled upon a statistic that Reddit is widely used as a source of information for AI answers.

Reddit answered: They wanna block access to the Internet Archive (kind of protection against scraping)

Work ethic: Do you think a 4-day work week will bring efficiency?

I just read that Poland wants to launch a pilot project of a 4-day work week from January 2026 (although a 4-hour work week would sound better).

I want to ask if any of you in your company have tried this concept of a shorter work week, and how it has affected the results of your employees and the company?

Love simple apps for content creation

Hey! I m Lynn, a content manager who s all about telling cool stories and finding awesome products that actually make life easier. I spend my days juggling content plans and hunting for tools that help me and others get stuff done without the hassle.

I m a big fan of simple, smart apps like those that keep my notes neat or automate boring tasks so I can focus on the fun parts. Plus, I love tools that spark creativity or just add a bit of joy to the day.

Joining Product Hunt is my way to stay in the loop on the coolest new things and connect with folks who are just as excited about products as I am. Looking forward to discovering and sharing cool finds with you all!

How can you promote your Product Hunt launch offline?

This topic popped into my head because during holidays, vacations, and hot summer days, we re all a little less online, and it shows in the drop in upvotes and reach.

But that also got me thinking: maybe this is the perfect time to talk about your PH launch offline.

What’s the point of “build in public” if nobody’s watching?

Everywhere I look, people say build in public to grow your product and audience. Sounds great except when you re starting from zero and literally nobody cares yet. From what I ve figured out, it s less about getting likes right now and more about leaving a trail, progress updates, decisions you ve made, even mistakes. Most of it will get ignored in the moment, but it builds a record that people can stumble on later. Also, public doesn t have to mean blasting it to Twitter. It could be small niche communities, Reddit threads like this, or a tiny newsletter. Basically, don t measure it by immediate engagement. Think of it as planting seeds for your future self. Anyone here actually started with no audience and made build in public work? What did you do?

Are startup accelerators still worth it in 2025?

Lately there s been a growing wave of skepticism around VCs, Y Combinator, and accelerators in general. And to be fair: I get it.

We now live in an age where almost everything you need to learn can be found online. The gatekeepers are fewer, the knowledge is everywhere, and solo builders have never been more empowered.
