What it is: ClarifierAI is an iOS keyboard extension that improves your writing with AI directly where you type no switching apps, no copy-pasting.
How it works: You type normally, tap the Clarify button, and AI rewrites/fixes/translates your text inline. Changed words are highlighted so you can tap to revert individual edits you don't like.
After a pause of more than a year (because I had to do some other things), I'm now continuing the development, have just released a "first" update, see here.
I plan to work on App Finder now near full-time for the next 1 to 1.5 years, the list of planned features is long :)
We re trying something new on Thursday: Alpha Day.
The idea is simple. If this is the first time you re launching your product anywhere, you can tag it alpha and get a boost to your points (and land on a special leaderboard).
Hey all - we're pretty happy with our first launch of Handle over the weekend. There will be many more to come! We're iterating on the product as quickly as Chrome Web Store approvals allow . We have a pretty action-packed roadmap (voice mode, anyone?), but the #1 thing that would help us build is your feedback.
Give it a spin: https://gethandle.ai/
Tell us what you'd like us to build: https://github.com/tonkotsu-ai/h...
Coding agents have transformed software development. It's now possible to do in a day what used to take weeks. Features that would have gathered dust in a forgotten Jira ticket now see the light of day! This wave will keep going, making developers more and more productive.
There are still bottlenecks in the product development, but they've shifted. Writing code is no longer the constraint. Taste and judgement are, and in software, there's no place where taste and judgement are more obvious than in the UI. Crafting thoughtful, distinctive, high quality user experiences is still a constraint. No one wants their product to be perceived as a generic slop cannon.
Update: The Deel Leaderboard will no longer be going ahead today for the Paris event.
We re teaming up with The Pitch by @Deel, a global startup competition where up to 100 winners will receive $50k in funding and up to 10 winners will receive $1M+.
Everyone tells you to ship fast. Move fast and break things. Get to market before someone else does.
I believed this for a long time. When we were building Murror, speed was everything. We pushed features weekly, sometimes daily. We celebrated every deploy like a small victory.
Every day, after launching, makers are contacted on LinkedIn and X by people offering to sell votes. As the Product Hunt team, we are very much aware of this and really hate it. We have systems in place to neutralize this type of gaming. Every vote counts for a different number of points on Product Hunt. A couple examples:
An account with a recently created gmail address and no history of quality contributions on Product Hunt: this vote will count for 0 points. Yes, this might be a well intentioned user, but we take a conservative approach to protect the community. If the account has a company email or applies for verification on Product Hunt, that's a different story.
An account with a company email address linked to a legitimate LinkedIn account with a history of meaningful contributions on Product Hunt: this vote carries significant weight.
A couple questions for the community:
Are there specific accounts on Product Hunt that you suspect participate in vote selling? You can reply here or email report@producthunt.co
What would you want to see us do differently here?
There used to be at least some clear logic behind startup valuation. You d take: hours rate MVP cost. That gave you a rough valuation floor. Not perfect. But it was an anchor. That anchor is now gone. AI made MVPs almost free. ~$300. Two weeks. One person. And if a product costs almost nothing to build what is valuation based on now? The answer is uncomfortable: your product itself is no longer inherently valuable. Investors no longer look at: how long you ve been building how many developers you have how much money you ve invested into the product Because none of that proves anything anymore. Now there s only one question: who is paying? If no one is then in their eyes, your startup is worth roughly what your MVP cost. Here s what actually changed: why pre-seed is now about MRR, not MVP how investor requirements shifted why solo founders suddenly became viable and where moat actually lives when your product can be cloned in two weeks Full breakdown here
https://substack.com/home/post/p... And I have a qustion to you: Did AI kill innovative startups and turn venture into short-term revenue games? What do you think?
Last month, I did something that felt slightly insane.
I took our product description, fed it into ChatGPT, and asked it to build a competitor. Not a parody. A real competitor. Better features, better positioning, better everything. I told it to be ruthless.
It did!
The output was polished. Confident. Structured like a real go-to-market plan. It named features we don t have. It positioned itself against us. It looked like a threat on paper.
Let me start from the creator s perspective: I personally don t have a product (apart from hiring people for creative work or offering personal consultations).
But as a creator, I constantly share content, insights, and information, value that helps me build trust (for free). Based on that perceived expertise, people eventually decide to work with me (a paid service).
Hey I'm James, a software developer from Australia with 20+ years building things professionally.
Most of my career I've been the person behind the scenes solving hard technical problems, shipping reliable software, making other people's ideas work. Unravl is the first thing I've built entirely for myself, and now I'm figuring out the part they don't teach developers: how to actually get it in front of people who might find it useful.
No funding. No growth team. No playbook. Just me, the product, and a lot of learning in public.
If you've been down this road builder trying to find an audience I'd genuinely love to hear what worked for you. And if Unravl sounds like something you'd use, even better.
tldr: yes. Shoutouts are one of the simplest distribution levers on Product Hunt.
Shoutouts are meant to pay it forward and highlight the tools that helped you build. But beyond goodwill, they create durable distribution for your product on Product Hunt and across LLM driven discovery.
When you shout out a product during launch, it becomes a founder review on that product s page. Founder reviews sit above regular reviews and include a link to both your profile and your product. That means your product is now attached to every future visit to that product s review page, long after launch day. For example, check out @timliao s shoutout of @Framer or @guymanzur s shoutout of @Base44
