I ve been doing some vibe coding lately and ended up building Cursor Pet a small browser extension where a pixel-art pet follows your mouse and idles when you stop.
It started as a fun side project, but it got me thinking about micro-delight in everyday tools. Sometimes small, playful elements can make long browsing or coding sessions feel lighter.
Guys, over the past 3.5 months, we encountered one significant issue at ProblemHunt:
Many contributors who shared problems aren't very motivated to provide feedback to developers for various reasons. Even among those willing to give feedback, not everyone agrees to work with more than 3 5 different developers (for context: currently, one contributor receives messages from 7 15 people on average). And without quality feedback, it s difficult to clarify all the details and build a great product.
To solve this problem, we talked to some of the contributors and found out: they are willing to provide feedback much more actively if they can receive 1% equity in the future startup. According to them, this would give them strong motivation to help with advice and actively participate in testing.
Therefore, we decided to run an experiment over the next few months. Now, in the problem submission form, contributors can optionally indicate that they want to receive 1% equity in the future startup. And we will mention this in the publication for you.
By the way, if you currently have a problem and also want to get 1% equity in a future startup, you can seize this opportunity right now on ProblemHunt!
