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!

Getting featured on Product Hunt is huge, but the hustle for those crucial first users continues looooong after launch day.

Aside from the direct PH traffic, what's been the most unexpectedly effective channel, tactic, or community that helped you acquire your first ~100 users or customers?

Feels like everywhere you look right now, there s a new AI tool promising you can build a company solo.
No team. No budget. Just you, a laptop, and some clever prompts.

And sure building something solo has never been easier.
But building something that lasts? Feels like a different game.

You can ship faster. You can look bigger than you are.
But can you really wear all the hats founder, marketer, builder, support forever?

• If you're building solo right now, what s been harder than you expected?

• If you scaled a team, when did you know it was time?

I m just a week away from launching my first product on Product Hunt. Super excited, super overwhelmed and last night, I found myself wondering: "How all this started?"

Truth is, I ve always been a restless soul (or as we say in Spanish, culo inquieto) once I ve learned everything in a role, I get bored. So I build. Not out of ambition, but out of a need to keep learning and growing.

AI is growing faster than ever, and honestly, it feels like we re riding a giant wave of creativity and innovation!
From generative art to powerful language models, automation at work, and AI-powered healthcare breakthroughs it s amazing how much is happening.
But here s the cool part: different things spark excitement for different people. Maybe it s a tool that made a tough job easier. Maybe it s a crazy new concept that opened your mind to fresh possibilities. Maybe it s just that "OMG" feeling you get when you see AI pull off something wild (like my Auntie, who literally gasped the first time she saw ChatGPT could calculate calories of her plates! ).

I'd love to hear what s making you most excited about AI right now! Big or small moments, drop them below and let's discuss together.

Lately, I ve been reflecting on the quiet fear that, as AI tools become better at creating art, writing, and design, creativity itself might lose its meaning.

It feels like a valid concern because:

• AI can produce beautiful art and music faster than a human ever could,

• Many creative fields are shifting from original creation to "curating" or "editing" AI outputs,

• Instant generation often replaces slow, imperfect human exploration,

• Younger generations are growing up with AI co-creation as the norm, not the exception.

I wonder:
Will true creativity still matter when "good enough" is instantly available?

Personally, I was laid off a year ago and currently bottoming out on savings. Every day is not guaranteed, quite literally, at this point. Yet, I keep my head down and continue building out a product relentlessly that I, quite frankly, have no idea how it will turn out.
Many of us took this leap of faith and are under strenuous circumstances, especially in the current market. If you're in similar positions, just know that everything will work out! Fortune favors the bold.
We're in this together! I would love to hear your stories.

A few days ago, I listened to a Czech video cast where the idea was that in a few years, the teaching position will lose its relevance.

This seems like a quite realistic prognosis to me, because:

• The teaching position is not particularly valued,

• AI knows more information than a teacher,

• AI does not sharply confront the user, which encourages people to ask questions and think critically (this can sometimes not be said about the school system)

• More and more young people prefer to communicate with Chatgpt than with an "educational authority"

Hey fellow builders!

I m a solopreneur currently launching my first SaaS (Aurexa), and I ll be building multiple small apps/tools in the future all revenue-generating.

Right now I m setting up Stripe for payments and I m wondering:

How do YOU structure your Stripe account(s)?
