John Champ's profile on Product Hunt

About

Hey there, I'm John! I'm the indie maker behind the pixelcave brand, where my wife Stella and I ship products people love, all while raising our two kids who keep me grounded and remind me why I build. For 15+ years I've built UI templates and component libraries for makers and founders, products like Tailkit and CodedVisuals that help you ship faster without designing from scratch. I've sold 17,000+ copies as a best-selling Themeforest (Envato) author, with 1,000+ 5-star ratings. I build for the long haul and support what I ship, some products for over a decade. Always shipping something new. Come say hi.

Founders, be honest: are you building an idea AI gave you?

No judgment, genuinely curious. How many of us asked ChatGPT for app ideas at some point, then ended up building one of them, or half-building it? The line between "my idea" and "the model's idea" got blurry this year. Where did your current project actually come from?

Do you work on the weekends?

I've always gotten a mixed review around working on weekends. Some prefer it to be a no work zone so they can start the work day week fresh but others like to mix it up. What do you do?
