What kind of apps would earn you more money?

I see a lot of tech products on Product Hunt that are meant to improve someone else's business situation, and as many makers as possible are ideally targeting the B2B market.

However, this past week I've also seen a lot of "fun" products that not only made it into the featured category but also earned one of the product of the day titles.

Useful platforms for hosting your community

I have made a list of platforms where you can create your community and share your knowledge in a closed circle (and in some cases sell memberships).

The list is according to my preferences, so the platforms I use the most are at the top.

What’s your take on Telegram?

Hey folks! Some friends of mine are launching a self-care wellness app built as a Telegram mini app. They're based in Eastern Europe, where Telegram is hugely popular and widely used for all sorts of things. They asked for my help in marketing it globally but I'm hesitant. Living in the US, I mostly see Telegram associated with sketchy stuff: black market services, shady job offers, etc. It has a pretty bad rep here. So I'm wondering Is it just me? How is Telegram perceived in your country? And if someone you trust recommended a really good app, would the fact that it's on Telegram be a dealbreaker for you? Would love to hear your thoughts before I commit to helping them.

What types of reading exercises would make language learning more engaging and effective for you?

Hello Everyone!

We're researching how to improve reading comprehension features in language-learning apps based on our own struggles with the disconnected texts often found in traditional platforms. Our vision is to create reading exercises that genuinely connect with learners' real interests, proficiency levels, and learning goals. I won't dive into all the details right now, but we'd love to spark a conversation around this question:

Happy Birthday, Photoshop!

@rajiv_ayyangar and I have talked a lot about what applications, devices, and codebases have most influenced our thinking and careers. Photoshop is high on that list for me.
For many years it was the most reliable application I used regularly, bar none. In a world where we just expected the Windows blue screen and the little Mac unhappy icon to happen regularly, Photoshop never crashed. Even though both its feature set complexity and working data set size were much larger than most other apps of the time.
Photoshop was also truly cross platform. It worked the same way on Windows and Mac. This is hard!
It had a plugin system. Indie developers built great extensions for Photoshop.
And it had a credits screen that you saw every time the app loaded, with the names of all the programmers who worked on it!
