How Jolt AI launched

Jolt AI launched on Product Hunt last January among the best developer tools launched in 2025 in my opinion.

The product got featured, ranked #3 Product of the Day, and #3 Developer Tool of the Week.

How did you get your first 1,000 GitHub Stars?

Launched on Product Hunt last week, @Ultracite, an opinionated code formatting and linting tool, just hit 1,000 stars on GitHub.

The Product Hunt effect?

Would you hire someone who has multiple jobs at once?

Yes, I'm kind of referring to the Soham Parekh story that's now taking the internet by storm.

TL;DR: He worked on several startups at the same time, had the best interview results, but according to his employers, he never delivered results. (You can comprehend it from these tweets, e.g. 1, 2)

🤯 Are Our Tech Stacks Getting Way Too Complicated?

Hey PH fam!

Seriously is anyone else drowning in frameworks, libraries, plugins, microservices, and AI-powered everything?

Q2 2025 Check-in: How did you do fulfilling your quarterly goals?

For those who don't know:

Instead of New Year's resolutions, I set goals at the beginning of each quarter to accomplish in the next 90 days and evaluate them at the end.

Claude's "Safety First" Approach: A Feature or a Crutch?

Product Hunters,

Let's talk about Anthropic's Claude. Everyone praises its focus on safety and responsible AI, which is admirable. But I can't help but wonder: does this intense safety alignment sometimes come at the cost of raw capability or uncensored utility, especially when compared to rivals like GPT-4?

Is "safety" becoming a convenient justification for certain limitations, or is it genuinely paving the way for a more trustworthy, albeit potentially more cautious, AI? What are your thoughts on this balance? Does Claude's "helpful and harmless" sometimes feel... too careful for real-world innovation?

Hit me with your honest opinions.

What's The Next Big Thing In Tech?

What's your bet on the next frontier? Everyone's still catching up with AI, but some interesting stuff is already happening.
Some areas where I see the world heading next are quantum computing, which is finally moving from lab experiments to actual commercial systems.
Brain-computer interfaces are another one. With the way Neuralink and other similar companies are heading, we may be more closer to reality than other people realise.
While everyone's obsessing over Agentic AI, some of the really wild breakthroughs might be happening in these corners of tech.
Looking forward to your thoughts!! :)

How to communicate price increases to existing customers?

Yesterday, I asked how you set your pricing strategy and discounts (you had some interesting insights and experiences to share Thank you!).

Setting prices is one thing, but what about increasing them?

Solo founders: how do you stay focused?

I'm currently a team of 1, and some days it can be hard (and lonely) to just keep grinding. Curious to hear from other solo builders here how you stay motivated and consistent over the long run?

Things helping me a lot right now:

  • Private community to share progress

  • Lots of small releases

  • Reaching out to current users to get more feedback and direct work

  • Reminding myself that it sometimes just takes time

Curious — what would make a voice note app worth paying for? 🎧

Hey everyone!

We ve been building Voxiyo a simple voice note app that records, transcribes, provides you actionable insights and helps you organize and make sense of your thoughts with AI (think summaries, inbuilt todos, and even chatting with your notes).

We re exploring what to build next and would love your input.

"Don't Sell. Solve Problems" -- Need feedback on our tagline

MarketFit is launching soon.

I thought what would be a better forum than PH to get some feedback on our tagline.

We are evaluating 2 options but open to others too.

1) "Don't Sell. Solve Problems"

What's one product you can't live without - and why?

I'm curious- what's that one product you can't live without?

Just one, not two!

Is it really good to succeed at a young age?

I often met people with the mindset:

"I'll work hard until I'm 30, and then I'll enjoy the fruits of my labour."

Many people wanted to get into the Forbes 30 Under 30.
