After months of building solo, I just launched Mindeurs on Product Hunt today!
I built it because I felt something was missing. Networking events felt random. Online platforms felt transactional. What I was really craving were thoughtful, genuine conversations with people who truly get it.
The world has changed rapidly over the past two decades with the internet, new technologies and the accelerated transfer of information.
Anyone not actively working online or in IT may have trouble keeping up with these "tech trends." This is especially true for older generations who did not have the opportunity to grow up with computers as it is today.
We've achieved #1 PRODUCT OF THE WEEK in the Education category! This is beyond our expectations. Thank you to the product hunt community, and a special thanks to everyone who has supported us!
I m just a week away from launching my first product on Product Hunt. Super excited, super overwhelmed and last night, I found myself wondering: "How all this started?"
Truth is, I ve always been a restless soul (or as we say in Spanish, culo inquieto) once I ve learned everything in a role, I get bored. So I build. Not out of ambition, but out of a need to keep learning and growing.
I have been building, learning, searching, investing for the last 6 years, back to back, non-stop. I feel I have officially reached burnout. One week I am super into building and I code new things like crazy. And the next I just want to chill and go surfing lol. Do you go through a similar phase? How do you deal with the constant change of emotions?
Mindeurs matches you with 2 new innovators each month. Discover, connect, exchange ideas, and collaborate with entrepreneurs in your city or worldwide -- you choose!
Hey Product Hunt! This morning I launched my first solo product ever: Controol a minimalist finance app built around one idea:
Know how much you can spend, not just what you already did.
No team. No paid ads. No launch list. Just late nights and building something I personally needed. I honestly didn t expect much but hours later, it made it to the Top 5 of the day
The feeling? Wild. Strangers are connecting with the mindset behind it, and it's been amazing to read their comments.
After hours of reading best practices, crafting the perfect assets and assembling what felt like a bulletproof plan, we were ready to launch on Product Hunt. We worked so hard and genuinely believed we d wake up to thousands of sign ups and the Product of the Day badge.
The reality was very different. We saw a tiny boost in sign ups, got stuck at around 200 upvotes, and to top it off, finished below a food blender.
Today I noticed the new "Recent Comments" feature on the PH Forum, and it's pretty cool.
It solves two problems:
First, I can easily see which posts are currently active and where people are engaging so as a user I can jump in and participate.
Second, it rewards you for staying active on your own posts and replying to people quickly just like on a PH product launch, since your latest comment will appear at the top of the Recent Comments page.
Are there any products left that are completely AI-free? Honestly, I'm experiencing some serious AI-fatigue lately. It's as if a product doesn't deserve to exist in today's world without an AI component. Are there still straightforward problem-solving products out there without all the unnecessary AI bells and whistles?
P.S. I'm not saying AI is bad, but there are just too many products that are 'AI for the sake of AI'
I m about to prepare for my first launch here, and I d love to hear from you all. What s the most valuable lesson you ve learned from your previous launches?
Keep it short let's choose the most impactful lessons. 10 words max ;) Looking forward to your insights!
I graduated 4 years ago, and I had the opportunity to go on to a PhD, but I gave up on that option.
Instead, I chose the "real world".
Many public universities in my country offer free tuition, while in the US tuition is very high, and people take out student loans that take decades to pay off.
Hey Hunters, I know that user feedback is very important when building a product, especially for startups. The problem is, I m still figuring out the best way to collect it effectively.
Right now, I m debating between:
Email: Sending out direct emails to users. But how should I structure them? Short & casual or more structured surveys? In-App: Using a widget or pop-up inside the app. But where and when is the best moment to ask? Feedback Tools: There are so many. Which ones are actually worth it?
Hey everyone! I ve seen some people mention using Reddit groups to help launching their products, but I m a bit new to the platform. From what I ve noticed, many groups don t allow self-promotion or talking about your own business. I m curious, which subreddits do you participate in, and what s your strategy for engaging and launching your products there?
I d love to hear about your experiences and any tips for successfully navigating Reddit for product launches!
Hey Product Hunt community, I wanted to get your take on something that's been on my mind.
The other day, I was chatting with a founder who had poured years into building an amazing product, only to realise there wasn't a real market need. It made me wonder: as builders and enthusiasts, how can we avoid this trap?
