Need your feedback if Im just building something noone will use - Would love your help!

Hey! I'm building a free Chrome extension that helps you track prices, try on clothes virtually, and find colors that actually suit you. Looking for a few people to test it and tell me what sucks / what's good. Anyone down to help?

Im struggling right now with getting users and i just wanna know if this is any good outside my bubble of nice friends. Would really help me out!

How would you improve Product Hunt forums? Name some things

I spend most of my time on these two things:
1) observing products on the main page and upvoting/commenting on them

2) talking with people within comments under my forums

The second one is the one where I notice some things that I lack and see possible improvements, namely:

Reaching consumers outside the tech bubble – what's working for you?🤔

Building a browser extension for fashion shoppers taught me something I didn't expect: the tech isn't the hard part.

I'm a solo founder working on a shopping tool. My target users are women aged 15-35 who want to look good and save money. They're not on Product Hunt. They don't hang out in founder communities. They discover products through TikTok hauls and Instagram reels.

Hey PH! I'm Christian, co-founder of Ekamoira; launching next week :)

Hey everyone

I'm Christian, co-founder of Ekamoira, a digital marketing agency turned AI-powered SEO platform based in Austria.

Quick background: We started as an agency in 2021, got frustrated with how opaque SEO tools were, and decided to build our own. Now we're focused on helping businesses get visible in AI search engines namely ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.

We're launching our first Product Hunt product on January 14th: a hosted MCP server that connects Google Search Console to AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT.

First-time maker (Solo Dev). Launching Sunday and terrified!

Hi everyone,

I've been a lurker here for a while, but I'm finally taking the plunge and launching my first solo project this Sunday (Jan 11).

It s a simple private movie and series logger. I built it because I got tired of the ads on IMDb and the social pressure of other apps. I just wanted something mindful that was for me, not for likes.

Since I m doing this completely alone with $0 budget, I m pretty nervous about the 'Launch Day' chaos.

Solo Founders! What's a habit or routine that keeps you sharp and motivated? I'll go first đź‘‹

So I've been a solo founder for almost 3 years, first two years was a b2b company and a lot of sales, meetings and "people to people work".

This year its been a lot more me and my computer when starting a tech/ai company. which have really tested me and my sanity...

Do you think founders should talk more openly about projects that didn’t work?

We often see launch posts, milestones, and success stories.
What we don t see as much are honest breakdowns of products that quietly stalled or failed.

I feel there s a lot of learning hidden there about timing, assumptions, and trade-offs.

Trying To Make Online Shopping Smarter & More Fun 👨‍💻

The fashion industry has a $550B returns problem. I'm trying to kill it.

I'm Markus, based in Sweden and obsessed with making online shopping smarter. It started with not knowing what colors suited my tone so i created a tool for color analysis... then it evolved in to something much much bigger.

At what point does a side project stop being “just a side project”?

Many products start as experiments built at night or on weekends.

At first, there s no pressure just curiosity and momentum.

But at some point, expectations creep in: users, revenue goals, support, roadmap decisions.

First timer working on an app - The classic intro :)

Hi all,
Really have only discovered Product Hunt recently. I kept hearing it be mentioned, and now I get what it is for. I think I assumed it was something to do with special offers on groceries! Clearly not.
Love to talk with others working on e-com growth products as I've worked in SEO for over a decade and trying to ship my own app this month. I love Tottenham Hotspur, offbeat travel taking the hard route (did the mongol rally last year) and love a Guiness.

Is “US-first” still the right default for AI products?

With today s tools, translation (UI, copy, even video) is no longer the hard part.

What slows us down instead are things like tax, legal compliance, hiring, support, payments sometimes even geopolitics. The moment users show up from a new country, a product problem turns into an operating one.

Low-code builders (Lovable, Base44, etc.) keep getting stuck on AI chat features

Hi folks,

I ve been spending a lot of time on Discord and Reddit helping people who are trying to add AI chat to their no/low-code apps.

What keeps coming up is that the setup is way more fragile than it looks.

It s usually not the model itself it s everything around it:
conversation state, memory, retries, edge cases.
Vibe-coding works for demos, but once people try to ship something real, things start breaking.

Hi PH, we're building NativeBridge to fix the most painful part of mobile dev and testing

Hi folks

Over the last 14 months, my team and I have been building NativeBridge to remove some of the friction we kept running into with mobile development and testing.

Do you still know how to build anything without AI? (Or are we outsourcing our “taste” too?)

I m noticing something weird happening in solo dev land.

We used to compete on:

  • remembering docs

  • knowing frameworks

  • being a better coder

Now it feels like the real edge is:
