You only get 1 hour a day to build. What do you let go of — and what do you fight to keep?

Let s play this out.

  • You re not full-time.

  • You re not VC-backed.

  • Life s already happening.

  • And your calendar hands you exactly 60 minutes a day to build something meaningful.

So now what?

No time for endless roadmap debates

AI tools I'm using now

I was recently talking with a group of founders, and we went around sharing tools we're using now. Posting my notes for our community here - would love to know what else people are using!

How can I talk w my codebase while I am away from my desk?

Is there a way I can chat with an LLM that has my entire codebase while I am away from my dev system? Reason I ask, I have a manual labor job while I develop Meadow Mentor on my nights and weekends. When I m at work I do most of my thinking and planning for the work I do at home on my dev system. Sometimes while at work I d like to chat w a coding LLM to explore design, architecture, etc so that when I get home I m more efficient w my time. Is this where my own private MCP server can be helpful? Any other easy to implement solutions?

Seeking advice for customer acquisition

Edit: thank you everyone who took the time to comment! Hello! I have a health and wellness app that helps people track their compliance on therapeutic diets with the help of AI. I ve gotten very strong encouragement from friends in the tech industry but am finding acquiring customers difficult. I don t spam my app in communities on Facebook or Reddit, but I ll briefly mention it here and there when someone else posts or comments about using apps to help with therapeutic diets. My user growth is about 2-3 per week. If I try to ask communities to talk w people for user research, I m finding most communities will delete the post, even if I am not selling the app but want to talk with others about their pain points. I m curious, what customer acquisition strategies and techniques have worked for you?

Do you trust any particular LLM model? (Your preferences over other AI solutions)

Yesterday, Meta announced that they have released a new collection of AI models, Llama 4, in its Llama family.

(It consists of Llama 4 Scout, Llama 4 Maverick, and Llama 4 Behemoth.)

Historically, Open AI with its ChatGPT has been on the market for the longest period.

Introducing Meadow Mentor

Hi , I m developing Meadow Mentor, a web app that helps people improve their gut health and overcome disease. It s free to try with new features added weekly to generate recipes, meal plans, and check ingredient food labels for safety. HTTPS://meadowmentor.com I love talking about it and am open to any and all discussions here in this community. I m new and can t wait to get to know everyone. I m especially interested in connecting with other health app developers to talk about our work and support each other. I am planning on doing an official Product Hunt launch in a few weeks. One question I m curious to know from the community: Given how controversial AI can be in some communities, how are you handling talking about AI-powered features in your apps?
