Yesterday, I asked how you set your pricing strategy and discounts (you had some interesting insights and experiences to share Thank you!).

Setting prices is one thing, but what about increasing them?

I'm seeing more products launch on Product Hunt that require payment to actually use any features. No free trial, no freemium tier, just a download that leads straight to a paywall.

Part of me thinks this makes sense. If your product has real value, why give it away? People on Product Hunt understand they're looking at premium tools. Plus offering free access can attract users who will never pay anyway.

But I also see the argument for temporary free access during launch. Product Hunt users want to actually try what they're upvoting. How can they give meaningful feedback or become advocates if they hit a paywall immediately?

About 4 months ago, I asked for beginner tips on Raycast so that I could start trying it out. I'd heard some people talk about how helpful it was, but just downloading it, I didn't really know where to start or how to get the most out of it.

Well, 4 months later, it is an integral part of my workflow now. I'd actually say it's one of the most impactful apps I use (the other being @Aqua Voice) in terms of really improving my overall work. I use it now for so many things every day, and I've gotten it set up to be incredibly fast and efficient for what I need. I think I would feel very slow and disorganized going back to not using it.

Tons of great products that we know and use everyday are the result of pivots. You know, sometimes the original idea just isn't working and you have to find a new niche and quick, other times you stumble on a use case that changes the whole game.

Have you ever pivoted? What's the story behind it? How successful was the pivot? I'd love to hear your stories, and potentially feature them in our newsletters!

Most people in this community are makers (I guess developers and marketers).

We spend most of our time in front of the computer, on video calls and the like. Understandably, we want to make it easier and more enjoyable.

What tech stack do you have that makes your work easier?

What an incredible launch day! The support from makers, founders, and builders has been absolutely amazing. Seeing everyone rally around our mission to give builders a quick way to build, launch and monetize their products honestly made our entire team do happy dances!

But here's where we need YOUR help...

We're on a mission to make billing and pricing actually enjoyable (yes, we said enjoyable! ). If you've logged into Atlas and tried it out - even for just a few minutes - we'd LOVE to hear from you!

Where do you regularly post product updates, company news, announcements, etc. Or do you typically publish those through your blog or website or even chat like Slack? I'm using a mix of a few and am curious which one will be the most active. What has your experience been like? Which platforms have you tried/want to try?

I read about a few cases that sounded like something out of a horror story.

For example:

• An AI chatbot pushed a teen to k*ll himself

• AI Model Refuses To Listen to Humans After Being Told to Shut Down

• Psychiatrist Poses as Teen  Finds AI Therapy Bots Encouraging Violence, Suicide, and Fake Intimacy

At Croct, we believe that great personalization starts with great context, and geolocation plays a key role in that.

That's why we've just rolled out a major upgrade to our location variables, making it more structured, detailed, and versatile for location-based segmentation and personalization.

Hey PH community!

We re preparing for our upcoming launch on Product Hunt and planning to include a short video introducing our product. We re debating between two approaches and would love your input:

I mostly reserve weekends for more relaxed forums, since even founders tend to be in a more "chill" mode during that time.

We could end this week on a positive note:

Hello everyone!

I'm Chandan, founder of Geekflare, a leading business & tech publishing platform. More recently, I'm building Geekflare AI.

@mat_sherman and I have been talking about meditation and I was remembering I had tested out @Calm and @Headspace. I searched forums and see references to these in convos 5 years ago. They still seem like the main contenders, but I also just downloaded @Insight Timer App @Breathwrk and https://www.meditatehappier.com/ too.

Anyone have experience with any of these? I'm new to meditation, have tried it a few times but have yet to build a habit and need to! Any recs are greatly appreciated!

Not looking for the usual "DM people on LinkedIn" or "personalized cold emails"

I want the weird stuff you tried that had insane results.

I'll start: We sent 50 pizzas with custom packaging to super specific people in our target persona.

Result: 95% called us back and hopped on a call.

I won't hide the fact that instead of entering key phrases into Google, I'm now redirected to the GPT Chat and asking complex questions.

Over the past year, ChatGPT has become the 5th most visited website in the world, and most recently, it also recommends products.
