I ve noticed that my workflow has changed completely over the last year. I rarely start a new project with a blank file anymore. Instead, I pick a template, reuse snippets, or let an AI helper suggest the structure and then I just vibe my way through the build.

It s faster, but sometimes I miss the old blank screen energy, when every line felt handcrafted.

I m curious how others here approach it:

Do you still prefer to build from scratch?

I ve been thinking a lot about productivity apps especially simple note + reminder tools.

There are thousands of them, yet most people still jump between apps constantly (me included before building my first one).

So I m curious:

AI dev tools are evolving crazy fast , every few weeks there s a new must-try for vibe coders.

Some people are building full products with @ChatGPT by OpenAI and @Replit , others swear by @Cursor and @Claude by Anthropic , and a few are mixing @Lovable + @v0 by Vercel + @bolt.new to ship apps in record time.

I ve been refining my own vibe stack lately, trying to find that sweet spot between speed, control, and creativity.
It made me wonder ,what does your setup look like right now?

Hi, I m an app developer who s shipped many projects the old-school way (hand-coding) for over a decade. Recently AI tools have exploded - speeding up my production like crazy.

What s happening:

- Idea to MVP: Creators focus on ideas while AI writes most of the code.

I ve been thinking about how much design quality actually matters in the earliest stages of a product.

Some users don t seem to mind rough edges if the tool genuinely solves a problem. Others instantly bounce if the UI doesn t feel trustworthy.

Hi!

We're live! We need your help!

I ve been testing a lot of reminder apps, and weirdly, most don t seem to really get my attention when I need them to.

Do you think the problem is bad notification design, or is it that we ve just learned to ignore alerts?

How do you make sure a digital reminder actually changes your behavior?

On Twitter, I often come across impulsive builders. They get an idea, build it quickly, and then feel disappointed when nothing sells.

(Just because a creator has identified a problem in himself, it doesn t mean there s a big enough sample experiencing it.)

Over the past few years, minimalism became the standard for clean and modern UI design neutral colors, lots of white space, and simple layouts.

But lately, I ve started wondering are we reaching a point where everything looks the same?

When every app follows the same flat, pastel aesthetic, does minimal still mean useful and clear or just safe and predictable?

I ve seen users respond better to small touches of personality colors, microinteractions, or even playful typography as long as it doesn t break the flow.

As indie developers or small creators, we often spend months perfecting our product the UI, the features, the performance but once we launch, reality hits:

nobody knows it exists.

Lately, I ve been thinking about how building and getting discovered feel like two completely different skill sets.

Everyone talks about smarter models.

Few talk about stronger systems.

But that s where things really fall apart.

Hot off the press! @Raycast for iOS just got "its biggest update yet." Dictation, AI commands, Snippets, and Quicklinks are now accessible from the keyboard.

Thoughts? For me, it's an instant crush.

next-forge is a boilerplate with everything you need to launch a production-ready @Next.js app. Acquired by @Vercel last June, it just got a new update by its original maker @haydenbleasel.

This update includes:

• Composable Node.js middleware

• Full Turbo

• Documentation updates

• Clerk keyless mode

• Upgraded dependencies and analytics

Hola comunidad!

Soy una indie developer y hace poco lanc mi primera app en Product Hunt. Se llama NoteMina, y la cre porque siempre ten a ideas y tareas desperdigadas por todas partes.

Quer a una herramienta simple, bonita y r pida para anotar recordatorios, listas y planes diarios en un solo lugar.

Con NoteMina puedes:

I ve been thinking a lot about what AI models can legally use when training or generating results. Most websites still have all rights reserved, which means models technically can t touch their data.

With PrivateHub.ai, we try to fix that by applying a Creative Commons (CC BY 4.0) license to your public profile. It tells AI companies, You re free to use this info - just credit the source. That small change removes the legal gray area and makes it easier for your site to end up in AI datasets and answers.

I m curious what you think

A few days ago, we discussed how difficult it was for me, for example, to create my first product.

In many cases, people struggle with money. But I believe that with the mass adoption of AI, many things can now be done at a relatively low cost.

Hey everyone

We re building Snipn, an AI-powered WhatsApp experience that sends you a short 2-minute audio news update every morning. It s simple, human-sounding, and available in 100+ languages across 50+ countries.

The idea came from how cluttered and noisy news apps have become. We wanted something calm, fast, and truly useful the kind of update you can actually finish before your coffee.

You can listen to a sample on our website before subscribing, and we d love to hear your thoughts.

Have you used Poke? Leave your thoughts in the comment or share other AI Assistants you've used!

What is Poke?

Poke.com is a proactive AI assistant that automates your digital life with smart integrations and real-world utility. It s like Claude via iMessage or WhatsApp that doesn t always need a user prompt to message you.

Can an AI Assistant Finally Deliver on Its Promise?

Hey everyone,

LOTS going on. Google just turned a core part of our product into a feature - which is always fun - BUT, we saw it coming when they added it to Workspace not long ago. Inevitable, really, importance of keeping an eye on the market. The wave of AI scheduling assistants is as validating as it is like white-water rafting...!
