Hey,
I ve been a software engineer (backend) for over nine years and have been wanting to build something on my own for a while now. I have ideas, good planning skills, and the discipline to execute, but unfortunately, I lack the experience as an entrepreneur, which I believe is an important aspect. This has led me to consider finding partners to help me bring my ideas to life or collaborate on new projects. However, it s been challenging to find people who are committed, structured, have a long-term mindset, and maintain positive energy.
Many people get excited about a project initially, but then they disappear or lose interest when results don t come quickly. And unfortunately, I m not in a position to hire people at the moment.
Has anyone else been through this? How have you found people who are truly committed to the long haul?

We re building a mental health support system.

simple, real, and built by people who ve been through it.

Help us shape it.

We are a small team of 2 who built NotionApps - a no-code app builder specifically designed for Notion users.

We first launched NotionApps on Product Hunt late 2023. Back then, it was just an MVP. We ve since added a variety of features and all the essential building blocks that turn Notion into a reliable backend to build apps, special thanks to feedback we got from our early users.
We launched our second version today, and felt like this is a good time to engage with the Notion community here.

Thought we would make an update, since we redesigned the interface to better reflect what matters most: personality-first matching.

Here s what s new

Hey folks!

We re gearing up for our next launch and would love your input.

Have you ever considered the human biases that might slow down the adoption of your product?

I'm currently working on building my first AI product (coming soon!), and I wanted to share some thoughts on the adoption challenges I anticipate.

A lot of us tend to neglect our health, being so entrenched in the work we're doing. That's unfortunate because without health, we can't really do much. It should be prioritized above all.

Prioritizing health starts with simple habits. Personally, exercising even just 45 minutes a day (usually in the morning) - whether that's lifting weights or shooting hoops has greatly improved my posture, energy levels, confidence, and mental clarity. It sounds cliche, but I really do believe exercising is a super-enhancer.
What is one healthy habit that has yielded improvements for you?

We've all been there drowning in dashboards, buried in Notion docs, pinged in Slack threads, and still no clarity. As someone who's spent years working in ops and product, I'm constantly surprised at how hard it is to get a clean, real-time picture of what's actually going on in the business.

Why do we still need 4 tools and 5 people to answer simple questions like What s driving churn? or Are we hitting our sales targets?

Curious how others are thinking about this. If you're an operator, PM, or founder how are you solving this internally? Have you found workarounds or is it still duct tape + gut feeling?

Hi Hunters

I m currently building a product that blends digital efficiency with human warmth. It s designed to solve a real pain point, but in a way that respects emotion, context, and intuition.

Think:

Tech that doesn t just work , it understands.

Text2Note now processes whole books (like The Metamorphosis ) in chunks for detailed, comprehensive notes, all in the background with no clicks needed.

Shared context between chunks ensures consistent, non-repetitive notes.

You write a post.

• AI optimizes the headline.

• A/B test decides the layout.

• Analytics picks the winner.

• SEO tools rewrite your words.

All of it works.

But suddenly, everything sounds the same.

I'm a UX designer by trade, and as a designer I always had some fun ideas to build but never the tools to do so other then some concept design. But recently I had this Idea again from a while back and just build it.

It ook me over 2 months and had to learn a lot of code and documentation myself to tell the damn AI's what to do.

It's a weird feeling of feeling powerful and helpless at the same time haha.

Once I asked What do you consider when choosing the right co-founder.

But I have never asked where to find them...

That's why I would like to hear your "How we met story."

At Climatize, we re celebrating the one mom we all share: Mother Earth.

And we re doing it with some climate action, beyond flowers and brunch.

Why? Because she s weathered rising heat, heavy storms, and a whole lot of take without much give. So, we wanted to change that this weekend. Let s Climatize her celebration, together!

Yesterday, @rrhoover shared a Forum about Y Combinator and the topics they are interested in.

These 5 grabbed my attention in the list:

• AI for Scientific Advancement

• Healthcare AI

• The Future of Education

• AI Residential Security

• AI Research Labs

I'll start, I can't believe I didn't know this -

A friend taught me earlier today regarding the "plus trick", also known as "plus addressing", for Gmail addresses.

You simply type in + after the prefix of your email address along with any text, and any email sent to this will still arrive in your inbox.

It's simple. Drop your next big idea and get some brutally honest but hopefully valuable feedback. The rules are:

• Drop your idea, you don't have to go super in depth but give a sentence or two about what it is and does.

• Get roasted, duh

• Roast someone else's.

That way we create a cycle of feedback

Think your product s one-liner is good? Let s find out.

Post your product and your tagline below and get real feedback from fellow makers does it land, confuse, or completely miss?

1. Effort results
I ve spent hours on posts that got 0 attention. I wrote my most viral post in 10 minutes while having morning coffee. You never know what will take off. Don't overthink it, just start writing and posting.
2. Don't be afraid to help competitors
Some people say building in public I only give my competitors an advantage. That's is partly true. At least 2 people reached out and said they built a similar product after my posts.
But first, this is great - the more the merrier, and the market is big enough for everybody.
Second, your real edge is not the tech you are using. It's the attention to the product you can generate. And social media is the only way to achieve it if you don't have millions for marketing.
3. Reddit hate is brutal
If your post has even a faint smell of promotion - people will hate you on Reddit. And when they do, they hate firecely. Expect a lot of angry DMs and downvotes.
4. Share your REAL struggles
The only way to avoid this and still get views, is being real. Share scary and cringy stuff. If you feel like you re gonna burn from shame after posting - it means you are posting the right thing.
5. Post on the right subs
Not all Reddit subs are equal. Most ban promotion posts. I always post on r/SideProject or r/SaaS. They are friendly to builders and your story will more likely resonate there.
6. Adjacent audiences rock
Some say builder subs are useless, because only your competitors hang out there. This is not true.
After my viral post on r/SaaS, I got a lot of leads for Yadaphone. Turned out many people on r/Saas and r/SideProject are freelancers, business owners and digital nomads. They all needed a cheap overseas call solution and I got a ton of new paying customers.
7. Not posting a link works
Avoid including a link to your product in Reddit posts. First, it s the quickest way to get banned for promotion. Second, if people like your product, they will google it, and it s a huge boost for SEO. Just share the name of the product in the post or wait until somebody asks for the link in the comments (somebody always does).
8. Non-native English is an advantage
This is a bonus for all non-native speakers out there. I used to push all my texts through ChatGPT to fix style and mistakes. And it only got me downvoted because people thought my texts were AI-generated.
Now I just write and post stuff as is. Making mistakes shows you are human, and Reddit values that over your perfect English
P.S. avoid the em dash at all costs, this is a clear sign you used AI (even if you didn t).
If your are curious about my viral post in r/SaaS, you can read it here. By the way, please upvote if you like it!

The world has changed rapidly over the past two decades with the internet, new technologies and the accelerated transfer of information.

Anyone not actively working online or in IT may have trouble keeping up with these "tech trends." This is especially true for older generations who did not have the opportunity to grow up with computers as it is today.
