Your Resume Is Flat — Build Something People Can Click On

In today s job market, a PDF resume just isn t enough. Employers want more than bullet points they want to see who you are. With Trickle, you can build a personal site that actually shows your story, your projects, and your personality even if you don t know how to code.

I almost skipped building desktop apps... until I realized this

Most of the hype lately is around AI, web tools, and mobile-first everything. But I keep noticing a growing number of small, focused desktop apps especially for productivity, dev tools and utilities.
Maybe it's just the niche I'm in, but people seem more open to native tools again. Performance, offline access, cleaner UX, better keyboard support stuff that's still hard to replicate in a browser.
I ve been building one myself recently, and honestly, it s been refreshing. No browser quirks, no CSS gymnastics, no worrying about five different viewport breakpoints. Just focusing on the actual experience.
Is it just me? Or are you seeing this shift too?
Curious if anyone else here is building or using more desktop-native tools lately

The 1 person unicorn dream - Myth or Reality?

Hey All,

The thesis of a 1-person Unicorn has been going around since the emergence of LLMs and Agents. While I certainly see how an engineer can now do the work of 10, maybe 20 engineers, I'm still not able to see the path to a $1B company.

Are We Relying Too Much on AI to Build Products?

Hey PH community,

I ve been noticing a shift more and more products these days are AI-powered, AI-enhanced, or just... AI everything.

While the possibilities are exciting, I sometimes wonder:

  • Are we moving too fast without fully thinking through the problems we re solving?

  • Are we relying on AI because it s trendy or because it genuinely improves the product?

$5K on Ads or Just DM People? What Actually Works for PH Launches?

Hey PH community! In two weeks, I m launching my app, SUN, here on Product Hunt. It s been a journey, and I m now focused on how to get meaningful visibility and upvotes. I ve been digging into what others have done and came across these 5 common strategies:

  1. DM outreach on LinkedIn

  2. Joining Product Hunt-focused WhatsApp groups

  3. Engaging in Facebook groups for PH launches

  4. Running social media ads that link directly to the PH page

  5. Buying Product Hunt ads (starting at $5,000 )

Has anyone here tried any of these?

What worked? What felt like a waste of time or money?

How we hit top #1 on Product Hunt— and what I’d change next time to achieve way better results

Hi PH community,

My team and I just launched Byterover a self-improving memory layer for coding agents on AI IDEs like Cursor, Windsurf, and more.

We ve been sitting at #1 for the past 18 hours since launch. Super grateful but I also think we could ve done a lot better with better prep.

Founder Burnout Check-in: What Quiet Habit Keeps You Sane?

Let s be real no one builds anything meaningful without flirting with burnout.

But the habits that save us aren't always the flashy 5AM club routines or viral productivity hacks.
