Let's be honest: mobile typing is broken. We lose ideas because typing feels like too much work. We delay replies because it's tedious. We fight autocorrect, fix typos, and hope our messages don't sound rushed.
Today I celebrate a big milestone. 365 days in a row active on Product Hunt. Honestly, quite a number given how many things happened in my life this year, it feels like I could write a book about it.
But consistency takes effort. Here are 3 things that helped me:
I ve been here for almost three years, and over time, I ve started to see this platform as a social network.
I know that many people come to launch their products and, due to time constraints, do not have time to establish a strong presence here, but I m glad some regular users focus on building the community.
Yesterday I came across a heartbreaking story from LA. A woman became a victim of scammers who used AI to impersonate an actor Steve Burton. The scammers sent her messages and deepfake videos in which Steve confessed he loves her and asked for help. Believing, the woman sold her condo and sent all her savings ($350 000) to the scammers.
Since my team and I are developing an AI detector of fakes, we decided to test our product on this story. Unfortunately our video module is still under development. Screenshots of Burton were blurry and not suitable for analysis. So we ran the audio through our voice detector.
I often hear that LinkedIn is starting to be cringe, becoming a second Facebook, but let s be honest: it s still a career platform. A little cringe, but it still is.
On the other hand, Sam Altman introduced a new ambition OpenAI Jobs Platform an AI-powered hiring platform, expected to launch by mid-2026.
Hi everyone! I m Olga, and I lead the Product team at IsFake.ai. Over the years, I ve built products from scratch, set and tested goals with amazing teams. I love turning big, sometimes messy ideas into something real and making tech simple and useful for people.
At IsFake we are helping everyone spot what s real and what s fake online, with ease and a little fun.
These days it is creepy how easily we can get fooled by deepfakes and fake content. That s why our team is building a universal tool that anyone can use to check if a photo, video, or text is genuine. No complicated steps and freaky interface, just clear answers you can trust.
Every day, I notice fewer people sharing their projects here.
A couple of months ago, build in public felt unstoppable: everyone was posting updates, numbers, roadmaps. Now? The hype seems to be fading or maybe makers are just shipping quietly.
I ve been a part of PH for 2+ years now, and I really love it, met real friends like @abdalyousef and @michalhajtas, and I really learn from @busmark_w_nika , @abbas143official . My team (Scade) have launched twice, and we've been active supporting other launches, giving feedback, sharing advice in discussion, connecting with other makers, and speaking about our own product. This helped us become visible on the platform, get feedback before launch and be known to the community on launch day. It lead us to a Product of the day, twice, and even a nomination for Kitty awards.
Now, I m helping a new product with PH launch. Guys are new to PH and they genuinely got involved. They filled out their profiles with real names, photos, bios, and links. They started testing products and giving feedback to makers and asking question, reading discussion, and sharing their thoughts.
But no one can see them. They created accounts about two weeks ago, comment by themselves without AI, but their comments seem useless for PH or what? Product Hunt support keeps pointing to the guidelines, but everything in those rules is followed. Comments are flagged as AI-generated, which is unfair (funny cause this is the team of AI detection experts and the product we aim to launch is on AI detection).
Yesterday, @rohanrecommends noticed some changes on this Platform the "Coming soon" page is gone.
There's no reason to panic because you have plenty of options to be visible, for example:
You can place the PH badge (button for support) on your landing page.
You can send a reminder email or push notification to your supporter.
You can set up a LinkedIn/Facebook virtual event where you insert the link for your launch.
You can use PH forums with relevant categories to make announcements if you have previously launched, for example, p/Google, allowing you to use the platform directly.
I just read that Poland wants to launch a pilot project of a 4-day work week from January 2026 (although a 4-hour work week would sound better).
I want to ask if any of you in your company have tried this concept of a shorter work week, and how it has affected the results of your employees and the company?
1/ The ultra-planners. hey schedule everything down to the minute, know who they re meeting three months from now, and already have their 2027 summer vacation mapped out.
