Peter Humphrey's profile on Product Hunt

About

I like building things that people can actually use in their daily workflows. I focus on simplicity, clarity, and usefulness over unnecessary features or complexity. I enjoy improving products step by step based on real feedback and usage. Small, consistent improvements often lead to the most meaningful results.

Which platform's API/scraping restrictions have burned you the most?

Building an API that pulls data across 13 social platforms, and the thing that's eaten the most engineering time isn't the scraping itself, it's how differently every platform breaks. Rate limits that change without notice, auth flows that expire silently, structured data one week and a wall of JS the next.

Curious what's bitten other builders here. Which platform has been the worst to depend on, and what did you end up doing about it?

How the world will transition to AI-run companies

Six years ago I got into Y Combinator and built the first version of @Basedash: AI data analyst. It was a simple tool that let you edit data in your database.
Now, six years later, we have a whole new product, and again we're shipping... database editing. But this time it's a look into the future of how companies are going to be run.
At the surface, this feature is kinda neat but nothing new. You can ask the Basedash AI to edit things in your database or call MCP servers to take action in other tools.
But, being a BI product, Basedash has a super deep understanding of your business. Probably better than you do yourself.
Soon, Basedash will proactively start suggesting ways to make your business better.
"If you extend this user's trial, they'll have a 50% higher chance of converting"
"If you tweak your ad sequence with this copy, it'll increase conversion rate by 20%"
One click to approve and run the experiment.
This is how we transition to AI-run companies.

launching july 7 .. what's your actual "thought to task" flow?

heyy folks .. am haider, the solo dev behind PopTask .. i'm launching a big update here on july 7 (it's now on iphone + ipad, not just mac) and figured i'd start a conversation instead of just showing up launch day

the whole thing started from one annoyance: every to-do app makes me fill out a form for a 2-second thought .. title, date, time, repeat, reminder .. and by the time am done i've half-forgotten why i opened it .. so i built the opposite: you type the mess the way you'd say it ("gym mon wed fri 6am") and it becomes a real scheduled task in about 3 seconds, no forms
