With so many AI-driven tools reshaping how communities are formed, grown, and managed, I ve been thinking a lot about what community truly means today.
These days, almost every product that launches comes with some form of AI. It's become the default AI for this, AI for that. And honestly, most of them don t really need it. The result? Everything starts to feel the same. The only real selling point becomes we use AI.
That s exactly why I started building @HumanEye because not every problem should be solved by AI. Some things, like resume reviews and career guidance, still deserve the human touch. Real feedback, from real people.
Would love to hear your thoughts:
Are we overusing AI just for the sake of hype?
Have you come across products that felt forced because of their AI features?
What are some areas where human input still matters most?
Many of us appreciate tools that save us time or money in our businesses. But there are also projects out there with a bigger mission (improving lives, supporting the planet, and helping those in need, to name a few).
Do you know of any inspiring projects that aim to make the world a better place?
A few days ago, I read a Pinterest report stating that more and more people are searching for topics related to digital detox on the platform. I realised that I have never used this one platform as a marketing channel, there is a huge target audience from the US, and it has around 480 million monthly active users so possibly good for the digital detox app I collaborate with.
Another client wanted to promote on Tinder (tho I wasn't very convinced with such a suggestion as it was not related to the product so much).
In today's fast-paced market, AI is becoming a core part of how products differentiate, scale, and provide value. This discussion is for founders, builders, and curious minds: Do you see AI as a must-have to stay competitive, or can products still thrive without it? Share your thoughts, experiences, and concerns around integrating AI into your product strategy.
My name is Manuel and I'm a high school student and founder of @Nomadful (nomadful.io), a mental health app available on iOS, and coming soon to Android. Working on this app for the last year has been an enlightening experience for me and I couldn't be more grateful for all the acquired knowledge, so I've made a short recap for this project, on a one-challenge-one-milestone basis.
Registering a company and maintaining a business: being underage makes this process insanely difficult. For context, I live in Mexico and I'm 17 years old. To register a company here, I would've had to make any of my parents one of the owners, and then they could entitle a minor to own a share of that company. I wanted a little more independence and flexibility, so ended up registering a business in the UK, where I own an address. Furthermore, registering the company in the UK was nearly 6 times cheaper compared to Mexico and I pay 10% less taxes.
Signing up to developer programmes: this was everything but seamless. After about two months with back and forth conversations with Apple, we finally came to an agreement where my mom basically signed and provided documentation on my behalf. After that, paying the application fee was a nightmare. I only had credit cards from Mexico and they wanted a UK card, but after various tries, their payments portal finally accepted my card.
Finding time between school and weekends: school itself is already demanding here, and I had lots of projects coming up almost every month, and most of the times I thought my weekend was free, it didn't turn out to be the case. I often work on the project during vacation.
There are some things I still can't do: being patient is definitely the hardest challenge. I still can't publish the app on android, open a bank account, or cash out my earnings. But in the end, I've learned that I'm just 6 months away from solving these issues, and I know being patient will pay off.
