The Product hunt community is amazing, and I know there's lots of knowledge to share. I want to make the forums the most vibrant forums for product builders on the internet! To that end we've re-designed forums, defined sub-forums, and introduced product-specific forums, and we've drafted new guidelines to keep the discussions vibrant, authentic, and genuinely useful. The new guidelines are here - https://help.producthunt.com/en/... - you can read them in full, but here's my summary: When posting a new forum thread, ask yourself:
1) Is this a genuine question I have that I want the community to answer? 2) Is this an insight that will be helpful to other builders and product geeks?
Personally, for me, the hardest part has been reaching out to others for help. (But this is more of a personal challenge than a technical one.) What has been the most difficult part for you when launching a product?
you probably know me from horse browser, but i ve been tinkering with design and html since the game boy color first came out! before i even learned to code, i was making wallpapers & windows xp themes trying to win "daily deviation" awards on deviantart. when i *did* learn to code i built a pok mon battle with jquery right after coding my first working rock-paper-scissors game just so i could do battles on my kindle. later, i designed poolside fm s (now poolsuite) iconic icons, launched johto mono (formerly pok mon-font ) on product hunt, and kept making weird & fun experiments with design + ux at their core thanks to the power of ai, i went from building websites to building a browser. horse is built with electron, and we re currently pushing hard to get extension support merged with the hope that once that happens, we ll see a wave of other niche browsers that help so many people i say "help", because i could never get anything done with normal browsers, until i made horse, and to my surprise, i found that it's because i have adhd, and horse also helps other people with adhd letting them switch topics, come back to things later, and actually follow up. i m currently working on getting recommendations from therapists who are seeing how much horse helps their clients ask me anything why i made horse, what being a super cool guy feels like, or whatever else you re curious about! i ll be around all day answering questions ( ` )

I've been scrolling down the homepage and looking through people's upvote list to find some cool products, and I've definitely been impressed! But I was wondering, since this space is so highly saturated, what are some products that you find yourself using consistently? Feel free to recommend some of your favorites :)
Most of us start as a solo founder or bunch of cofounders. Who do you hire first, why, how and for what profile? I know it would be very specific to your startup. I am looking to hear your stories.
