What’s the best productivity tool that’s NOT Notion, Obsidian, or Roam?

Notion, Obsidian, and Roam are great, but they re not for everyone. Maybe you found something simpler, faster, or just less overwhelming. What s the one productivity tool you actually stick with the one that makes life easier instead of adding more work?

What are your favorite "fun" apps?

Yesterday @fmerian recommended Googly Eyes from @Sindre Sorhus, which I immediately downloaded! After enjoying the eyes following my cursor around for the day, that got me thinking - what other fun, goofy apps do you all have for your Mac, Chrome, or other devices that don't necessarily serve a purpose other than to bring joy and break the monotony? @Scroll Buddy is another one that comes to mind that I have saved in a collection.

We see productivity apps, AI-based software, open-source products, etc. all the time, but what about your saved products someone made after their 9-5 or on a weekend just to have fun and test their skills?

Are AI comments a (good) future for social media?

Today I read this message:
Instagram has just added the ability to write comments with AI.

A similar option LinkedIn has (it offers pre-written recommended comments like "Congratulations")

How to protect yourself against fraudulent payments? Helpful tips while trying products.

I am following up on the forum from the previous days when you started a lively discussion.

I outlined what not to do when you are a maker and what to do when you want to be more trustworthy.

Today, I will share the opposite.

Missing the cozy vibes in PH discussions — anyone else?

Don't you think Product Hunt discussions have become as cold as ice lately?
Or maybe I just don t get which topics work best for my discussion themes?
Last summer/autumn, discussions seemed to get more replies and upvotes people felt more cozy and engaged back then in comments.

What's your favorite 'little' tool at the moment?

By little tool, I don't mean it took a small amount of effort, I mean it does one day-to-day, small task. For me it's probably @Xnapper . It allows me to take beautiful screenshots surrounded by stunning backgrounds in literally a few seconds, where as I used to spend time chucking my screenshots into Figma and playing with the padding to make them look nice. I can't even guess how much time this has saved me

What do you prefer for brainstorming - Miro, Figjam or other?

Here at Product Hunt, we found that we were slowly shifting away from @Miro and defaulting to @Notion for typing up brainstorming notes during meetings (we use @Tandem so already have built-in breakout rooms, ambient music options and timers).

So we decided to cancel our Miro account and continue to use Notion or switch to a Figjam board if we really needed a sticky notes format (we're already using Figma so it helps reduce the number of tools we are using). *Spoiler alert: we haven't needed to use a sticky note board yet...

Do you think AI is improving education, or does it make students too dependent?

I have seen multiple launches here (on PH) providing AI solutions to the student exam preparations (and its really helpful).
Students can now find fast and simple solutions to their problems or study plans as AI helps them fast and easily.
They can now study anytime, anywhere, with no need for anyone's time (24/7 available).

But everyone has its own +ve & -ve thoughts in an easy way (suggestions/improvements)
so what are your thoughts about it?

What task management software are you using?

Over the years working for agencies I've become quite familiar with tools like @asana and @Jira , also with @Trello for personal projects. But I was wondering, are these the most used or are these just the ones I've been exposed to? Are there better options? Would love to hear your thoughts down below!

I’ve been waiting too long for this moment...

Hey everyone!

I ve been following the incredible launches on PH for years, always admiring the products that come out of this community. But I never really took the step to launch something myself. I tried a few times, but every time, I felt like my product wasn t ready enough.

Would you let a robot in your home or not? 🤖

ICYMI: 1x launched the NEO Gamma, a new generation of humanoid robots that are designed to help out with things at the home like doing the laundry, cleaning, putting up photos, etc. This is the kind of stuff I used to dream about as a kid but now as an adult I'm not sure if I want a robot walking around my house. Would you let one in and what do you think about home robots? Think they have a future or is it going to be a hype train before fizzling out?

Is AI making us stupid?

I hate to say it and I don't want to sound pessimistic (but it's probably happening already :D)...

with all the conveniences we have, we are so fast and unfortunately also comfortable.

What's the biggest lesson you've learned since you've launched?

Personally, I learned that instead of targeting the potential users of the product, I should have targeted other product hunters. Not all users were comfortable creating a new PH account, even though they welcomed the product.

It took me 6 months to realize this!

Building a startup is like pulling a heavy load you either need a strong team or the strength to carry it all on your own.
