While building a product, I ve also been trying to run content on social media to bring in more traffic. I experimented with creating AI-generated characters and producing UGC-style videos around them.

During this process, I realized something interesting: there are hundreds of tools that can generate virtual characters and UGC-style videos. But what actually makes a video engaging isn t the tool - it s the authenticity of the person creating the content.

The latest version now includes plan diffs:

Hey everyone!

Ujjwal here, solo dev behind BrainLoom.

20 days ago, I launched here with a Windows-only MVP. The feedback was incredible (we hit #2 Product of the Day!), but the #1 request was: "When is it coming to Mac and Linux?"

I took the revenue from that launch, bought a Mac Mini, and coded non-stop.

We re letting users take over Votap
One thing that s been really cool lately? The emails.
People telling us what they like.
What they d change.
Which politicians we should add next.
I answer as many as I can, but it made me realize something:
If Votap is about public opinion
then the app itself should be shaped by public opinion too.
So in the next update (coming very soon), we re adding a proper feedback space directly inside the app.
You ll be able to:
Suggest features
Request politicians
Comment on ideas
Upvote what you want to see next
Other users can vote on suggestions too so we build what people actually care about.
Votap is a people platform first.
So the product should evolve with the people using it.
We want this live before our next bigger user acquisition push (aiming much higher next time ).
If you want to help shape it, download Votap from the App Store.
More tomorrow.

If you use AI dev tools daily, you ve probably felt this:

You start a new session and immediately have to re-explain:

• what the project is

• what you already tried

• why certain decisions exist

• what not to repeat

Not because the AI is bad.
Because the workflow forgets.

Hi community!

At Jots we believe that reflection should be a core engineering skill, especially in this age of AI.

So we built a Reflection Skills MCP and made it open-source.
It is a protocol server that exposes:

First of all, I want to thank you for voting for us in yesterday's launch - you still can, the week is not over. HERE

Second thing, I summarised some things that I realised, reflected on, and maybe should have known sooner:

Hi Everyone! Our app is designed to be used at site and I always felt that response speed is critical for seamless app use

It appeared to be a compromise. This specially relates to audio and TTS we use. We can use very naturally sounding TTS models, but they may take about 1 minute to respond. Or we can use something which responds in 5 seconds but quality will be lower. How much do you think a user can wait for response before she shuts down the app as it takes too long?

Hey Product Hunt

Over the last few hours, a lot more people signed up than I initially expected thank you for the incredible response

Because of that growth, I pushed a quick but important update:

Big news! DevSecOps, EU-based company @Aikido Security just announced a $60M Series B at a $1B valuation.

@madelinelawren wrote in their blog announcement:

Today, Aikido is used by 100,000+ teams globally, including customers like the Premier League, SoundCloud, Niantic, and Revolut. Over the past year, we grew revenue 5x and more than tripled our customer base. (...)

The next chapter is about self-securing software. Not security as a reactive activity with dashboards and manual weeks long testing. Rather, software that can secure itself on demand.

OSS AI coding assistant @Kilo Code is looking for engineers to help build an ambitious roadmap.

If you're into open source, if you embrace remote work and enjoy getting things done fast, this post is for you. Read on.

I ve been so heads-down building, I completely lost track of the calendar. I woke up this morning, checked my notifications, and realized Datastripes Lens is live on Product Hunt... and it s actually going super well!

If you haven't seen it yet, Datastripes Lens is your personal data analyst, right in your browser.

If you use an Apple Watch, let s talk about the complications we actually use every day.

I ll start with the one I check the most.
For me, it s the Day and Night complication from Weather mini.

Guys,
I'm looking for some athletes to get involved in helping to shape Clarity!

Hey Product Hunt Community!

Just shipped a crazy update for Solhun.

You know that moment when Claude Code spits out a file path and you have to manually find it? Not anymore.

• Cmd+Click any file path in terminal opens in your editor (VSCode, Cursor, etc.)

• Line numbers work too (src/App.tsx:42 opens at line 42)

• URLs are now clickable opens in browser

• localhost links work (http://localhost:3000)

Everything you need to check, all from one place. No more copy-pasting paths or switching windows.

Ho ho ho!
We ve been busy improving the platform instead of adding flashy features but we couldn t resist. So yes, we added some flashy ones too.
What's on the release:

In 2025, we witnessed a true Product Hunt (r)evolution so many things changed dramatically. I honestly think this was the most intense year of changes the platform has ever had.

For example, we got to experience all of this:

• Verifying profiles (badges)

• Alternative product suggestions on launch pages

• Views and online count on forum posts

• Adding/Removing the ambassador program

• Forums instead of Discussions

• Changing the UX/UI of launch pages

• Removing Coming soon (Notify me pages)

• Adding/Removing downvotes on comments

• Forum comments now showing up on our profiles

• More extensive footer

• Redesign of the main page UI (e.g., new notification icon)

• Removing Kitty s awards

There are days when I feel deeply lonely and a little heavy inside.
My usual response is to dive straight into work, open the laptop, focus on tasks, keep myself busy. It helps for a moment, but once the work stops, the feeling comes back just as strong as before.

I m curious about others experiences.

What do you do when loneliness creeps in?
Is there something that genuinely helps you shift that feeling or simply sit with it a little more gently?

Would love to hear your story.
