What’s a small decision that completely changed your career? πŸ’­

I ll go first: Posting my side project before I felt ready. It led to unexpected feedback, support and paying users.

Curious what small moves made a big difference for you

My favorite launch videos from last week

I love building products. But videos? That s hard.

So I started studying others.

Here are 7 AI launch videos that nail storytelling and simplicity last week in my opinion:

1. @Higgsfield AI video editing shown through clean, iterative results.

Anyone else running into same problem deploying long-running AI agents?

I ve been working on some AI projects recently things like scheduled agents, API responders, and multi-agent systems that need to run continuously. One of the biggest headaches I ve run into is deployment.

Most cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, etc.) are built for stateless apps or short-lived functions. But for long-running, stateful agents, the kind that need to persist data, auto-recover from crashes, and expose custom endpoints it gets surprisingly messy. I ve spent so much time setting up VMs, Docker configs, and recovery logic than actually writing agent behavior logic.

how do you get quality feedback to understand if your product is viable?

Hey everyone,
We are doing everything we can to gain insights and get feedback on our app. The people that trial our app do not seem open to discussing their experience or providing feedback so I thought I would ask fellow founders how you overcame this and where you go to get insights and feedback on your app.

Thank you in advance for any help.

RFC (Request for Comments) for the UTCP

Hi community,
Thanks a lot for sharing your support for the UTCP launch. Since our goal behind the UTCP (in addition to the technical elegance) is that no single organization should have any control over the protocol that governs agent tool calling, therefore the main contributors behind UTCP don't belong to a single company or country, for that matter.
To make it even more grassroots and community-driven, we've also launched a RFC (Request for Comments). Please check it out, and let's collectively build a kickass protocol for agent tool calling:
https://www.utcp.io/RFC
Also, if you'd like to contribute, please reach out. Or just drop a on the GitHub to keep the flywheel going.

Why do some products not bundle trial days with their highest plan?

I sometimes fail to understand the pricing strategy of some new products in the market. They come with a free plan with limited/locked features along with a paid plan with no trial days.

Not talking about enterprise products here. Some products follow this even when they have nothing to lose by offering their highest plan free for a few days.

I built a Chrome extension to non-destructively test environments (open redirects in new tabs)

Ever seen a website developer working on multiple environments? Multiple test environments, production, localhost? I built this amazing Chrome extension to simplify the process of opening links in different environments.

Opens redirects in new tabs (original stays intact)

Preserves full URL paths/queries/hashes

Saves frequent domains (e.g., localhost:3000, staging.example.com)

🎬 CapCut Template Downloader – Discover & use trending templates in 1 click

Hey Product Hunt

I ve just launched a simple but useful tool for video creators and CapCut users:

CapCut Template Downloader (Firefox/Chrome Extension)

If you're tired of scrolling endlessly through TikTok or CapCut just to find that one trending template this extension is for you.

RIP Windsurf :'(

Windsurf's CEO and key employees are leaving for Google, after the OpenAI deal fell through.

How Product of the Day/Week/Month are chosen

Ben from the @Product Hunt community team here!

I was chatting with a Maker recently, and they were a bit unclear on how Product of the Day/Week were chosen, and honestly, I needed a bit of clarity too

Added "Open for coffee" notification

So, quick update here:

basically the idea is, founders set open for coffee = on if they want to meet others in person.

Is building in public losing its value?

At first, it was novel. It gave us a real look into what it takes to build a clothing brand, a tech product, or a service business. It built loyalty, connection, and people appreciated the honesty.

But now it feels like everyone has to do it, like it s an obligation. Feeds are flooded with MRR screenshots and day 37 of building X, and it s harder to tell what s authentic.
Curious what it s been like for others. Have you found it worth the effort?

What’s the endgame for all these indie products?

I've been thinking about the endgame for all of us builders here. With so many products launching daily, and it getting easier and cheaper to build, we're seeing tons of tools in the same niche, often with similar pricing.

What happens next? Do the best user acquisition and marketing strategies end up winning by default? Or do user bases just split across multiple competing products that do 80% of the same thing?

Feels like the cost to build will keep dropping, so the real differentiator might not be features or price, but something else. Community? Brand? Distribution? Curious how others here see it playing out.

What kind of AI tools do you wish existed β€” but haven’t seen on Product Hunt (yet)?

Hey everyone

I've been browsing Product Hunt almost every day recently and while there's been an explosion of AI tools, I still feel like some problems haven't been fully solved yet.
