Same effort every time, same comment, just a different thread each time. The spread came entirely from which thread I picked, not from anything I changed about what I wrote.

That has changed how I think about distribution. It stopped being a channel decision and became a research step before I write anything: how fresh the thread is, how many replies it already has, whether the person asking is actually going to read what comes back.

It's crazy how easy building something from scratch has become, but one thing I ve noticed lately is that more and more products look fresh on the surface, yet feel almost identical underneath.

I see this every day scrolling the PH daily dashboard, struggling to spot the real difference between dozens of products claiming to be the next Lovable with a twist, another distraction-free productivity app, or yet another AI voice assistant.

Just like with copywriting or design, product concepts are starting to feel homogeneous.

I guess that when you're pre-revenue, AI tools and the occasional freelancer are often more than enough to get an MVP out the door and test the waters.

But eventually, every growing product hits an inflection point where "good enough" visuals and quick-and-dirty copy start holding back growth. To build real authority and category leadership, a curated identity becomes important.
