I genuinely love listening to podcasts. It's one of the best ways I've found to stay on top of new trends, pick up strategies I wouldn't have discovered otherwise, and come across founders and operators I'd never stumble on through regular reading.

So I'm always on the lookout for new ones worth adding to the rotation.

I m curious what Product Hunt launch results looked like in real terms for people here.

Not just upvotes or comments, but actual outcomes like:

• site visits

• signups

• activated users

• paid conversions

• retention after the spike

If you re open to sharing, it would be interesting to know:

Building products is hard, but right tools can make it easier and faster.

Here are the 3 services that made it possible for us:

- NovaVoice is a desktop application for macOS and Windows no hardware, no waitlist, no vaporware. It is live and free to download today.    

- NovaVoice is not just a dictation tool. It eliminates the three most common friction points in a knowledge worker's day: switching to ChatGPT to process a thought, switching apps to send a message, and the gap between how fast you think and how fast you can type. It addresses real daily pain, not a hypothetical one.  

- The product is built around a single insight: the interface should disappear. Hotkey activation, context-aware formatting that matches the app you're in, a popover that applies any AI prompt to any text on screen the experience is designed to feel like an extension of thought, not a tool you have to manage.

- The formatting engine lets users define rules in plain language: "make it sound like my grandpa" with a reference attached, or "always output send-ready emails when I dictate in Mail."

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+.

Building something useful is hard. Explaining it clearly can be just as hard.

I ve noticed a lot of products seem solid, but the value isn t immediately obvious from the first sentence, screenshot, or landing page.

Hi, Product Hunt

My name is Rustam, I m 27, and I m building Nova with a team of three (we re planning to launch on Product Hunt soon).

I keep hearing and reading about how programmers are at risk; basically, everything that can be replaced by AI is at risk.

• Yesterday, Lenny Rachitsky shared a post that PM openings are at the highest levels since 2022.

• At the same time, I read how big giants (Meta, Amazon, etc.) are laying off engineers because of AI, and then I read about how they had to hire back again because something managed by AI went wrong.

Product Hunt just added a new leaderboard and it finally answers a big question: who s actually contributing to the platform?

For a long time, Streaks were the main signal of activity on Product Hunt. But streaks only showed who visited every day. Opening the site or app daily doesn t necessarily mean someone is adding enough value.

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).
