What Are the Best AI Tools to Help Indie Hackers Launch & Scale? (Marketing & Ops🔧)
Bringing a product to market as an indie hacker is no small feat but AI agents are changing the game. From marketing to operations, automation is making it easier (and faster) to launch and scale. Here are a few AI-powered tools I ve found useful:

Product Hunt tools for your launch
I am trying to gather tools directly developed for the Product Hunt platform that could possibly help you with the launch.
This is what I have gathered so far.
Advanced PH Scrapper extracting data of launches into the charts
Hunted Space calendar & stats for upvotes, comments, upvote speed
Launchgrid something like a database of launches from PH & HN
Launchpedia kits (PH resources)
Product Hunt favourites extension for bookmarking
Product Hunt trending overview of successful launches (ranking)

Thank you for supporting Tanka!
What a week. What a ride!
Tanka just launched this week, and thanks to all of you, we didn t just launch we took off.
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!

🛠 Has anyone built a production app with bolt.new?
I ve been playing around with it, and it s wild how fast it spins up a full-stack app from a prompt. But I m wondering:
How well does it generate code for real-world use?
Any prompting tips to get better results?
How does it compare to others like Lovable?
Also, do you think tools like Bolt (full app generation) are the future, or will the Cursor-style coding assistant approach win out?
Would love to hear from anyone who's pushed this beyond a test project!
