Would your product be better without VC money?

Venture capital can be rocket fuel.

But sometimes it feels more like strapping yourself to a rocket you don t fully control.

If I had never raised a dollar, how would my product look different?

Finden obtained the Google CASA 2 certification

Finden has obtained the Google CASA 2 certification, for those unfamiliar, CASA (Cloud Application Security Assessment) is Google s benchmark for security and compliance. Level 2 means our systems meet higher standards of data protection, risk controls, and user safety.

If you re trusting AI tools with sensitive workflows, security isn t a 'nice-to-have', it should be essential. This milestone is just one step in our commitment to building trusted, transparent AI infrastructure.

What I Learned From Launching My First Wellness App

I recently launched my first wellness app, Momentia, a mindful journaling app designed to help people check in with their moods quickly. It s been a rewarding (and humbling) experience, and I wanted to share a few lessons that might help other makers in this space:

  1. Simplicity wins. People don t want a complicated system when it comes to journaling or mental wellness. Small, consistent actions matter more. I discovered this both in my own wellness journey and from early test users.

  2. Community > marketing spend. The most valuable traction so far has come from engaging with communities like this one, not ads.

  3. Your own habits matter. I ve found myself becoming the best test user using the app daily gave me insights I d never get from wireframes or specs.

  4. Feedback is gold. Early testers and even casual users often highlight things I would ve missed as a builder. Just the other day, an early adopter gave me unsolicited feedback in a casual conversation and it turned out to be incredibly valuable.

Launching something in the wellness space has reminded me how important it is to keep things human and approachable. Momentia started as an idea to help me, and I can only hope it helps others, too.

Stop Rewriting Task Follow-ups Use Snippets Instead 🚀

As a Business Operations Manager (or really anyone managing tasks), one of the most repetitive things is sending follow-ups with deadlines.

How it usually goes:

  • Type from scratch

  • Or copy an old message

  • Edit, resend, repeat

It wastes time and often makes communication inconsistent.

Product Hunt discontinued coming soon / teaser pages. Did they work for you?

I noticed that Product Hunt discontinued the teaser / coming soon section this week, and I m curious if it did help you build genuine traction? 

My take (from hunting PH launches):

Creating buzzzzz.... Invites, Waitlists or Open

I've read a lot of conflicting views on this ... I'd love some advice.

We're about to relaunch our news platform ... which has been locked behind an "invite code" for a few months in ~beta state ... and we'd like to create some buzz!!..

What stops OpenAI from building this?

No matter what you're building, investors new favorite question: "What stops OpenAI from doing this?"

For @Migma AI: we operate on the software layer while OpenAI provides the foundation models. they re pushing toward AGI, not building specialized vertical products. email requires deep integrations, brand learning, cross-client rendering, and a compiler we built in-house. OpenAI won t spend years perfecting how 40+ email clients render html but that s exactly our edge. Look at how they acquired @Windsurf for billions: instead of building vertical products themselves, they buy proven software players. we re in that category.
Now tell me: what stops OpenAI and giants from doing what you're doing?

GitArsenal Updates #1

Thank you to everyone who supported the launch! We ranked 6th yesterday.

For those just discovering us: GitArsenal solves that painful moment when you find a cool GitHub repo but spend hours fighting dependency hell instead of actually running the code. Our AI agent automatically handles the entire setup process, from analyzing the codebase to debugging errors to provisioning the right hardware.
What features would make you actually use this?

  1. VSCode/Cursor integration so it opens right in your IDE?

  2. Team sharing so your whole company can run the same environments?

  3. Docker export for deployment?

  4. Something else entirely?
    Also Coming very soon: Full GitArsenal app with GUI, better logging, and way more control over the setup process.

Current status: CLI working, tested on 100+ repos from simple scripts to complex ML research. We're iterating fast based on real user feedback, and testing more on different categories of Repos.

Apple considers collaboration with Google: Will Gemini AI save Siri?

Yes, we had this talk on Product Hunt countless times, about whether Apple is behind in AI.

Apple is in early talks with Google to potentially use Gemini AI to power a revamped version of Siri, as part of efforts to catch up in generative AI. They have been considering Anthropic s Claude and OpenAI s ChatGPT + testing their own models.

Meet Socials by DevVoid: a smarter way to share who you are ⭐

Hi Product Hunt,

We built Socials by DevVoid after realizing how often great conversations ended with paper cards that got lost or links that never got saved. We wanted introductions to be simple, memorable, and measurable.

DevDiary tracks your Dev routine and judges you and your habits, badly

I renovated and launched DevDiary, a free VSCode Extension that tracks your dev routine locally and generates a complete Programmer Profile that judges your habits badly.

Two things are missing nowadays about VSCode time tracking: free and local. I don't want to be tracked by online services, so I developed DevDiary.

How do you approach email marketing when you want to sell products?

According to Neil Patel's data about influencer marketing, newsletter/email is the most effective channel when it comes to ROI (attached infographics; source)

But not so many influencers own newsletters; in most cases, only social media channels.

What to expect from Dad Reply v1.5

Hello Daddies,

Oh god...maybe not, if the same person that came up with Swifties can get in touch that would be great.

Generic OCR fails on SEA documents. We built an AI that actually works.
