I'm also following this closely, and I'm curious to see how everything will unfold. I've noticed that Pinterest users are quite upset about the possibility of this happening. Plus, I've also noticed there's a pattern of hardcore users being against AI content on Pinterest - me included, so this could also just be my digital bubble. I believe this acquisition could lead to a drop in users,...
OpenAI is considering buying Pinterest. Do you see this acquisition as promising?

I've been planning to create an account and check it out for months now, but I kept postponing it. I do, however, wish that it keeps on growing! What convinced you to jump on the platform? Was it the hype in its early days, or was it popular among the tech communities you were part of? Or just out of curiosity?

I resonate with your list a lot! I've been practicing yoga daily for a couple of years now, and it's been an amazing addition to my routine. Meditating, journaling, or cooking are other activities I turn to when I need some time for myself to recharge. I'm also interested in learning languages (currently delving deeper into Portuguese), traveling, and attending networking events. Wandering...

I had no fears until I started overthinking, which made me imagine the situation where everything related to my first product fails - what will I do after? Will I manage to get new freelance projects, find a steady collaboration, or get a new idea for another product? A bit too dramatic 😆
What are your biggest struggles/fears when you want to launch a product?

👋 Hey Product Hunt! I’m Ruxandra, and I started Curiosity Saved The Cat out of (you guessed it) curiosity. I wanted a space to slow down, explore the internet beyond algorithms, and share the things that spark wonder, from underrated headlines and smart essays to fun tools and obscure corners of the web. Every Sunday, a new edition lands in your inbox, built around a theme (like “The Illusion...

I'd love to have my own matcha cafe and be a barista (disclaimer: I've been drinking matcha for years, way before it became a crazy trend 😅)

Congrats on the launch! The vision makes total sense, considering where we are right now when it comes to agentic development. Might be a silly question, but I'm curious what guardrails you offer so an agent doesn’t click the wrong thing (like checkpoints, approvals, or a “dry-run” mode before it takes real actions)?

What’s the most curious corner of the internet you’ve stumbled upon lately?
Hey product passionates, Curiosity Saved The Cat is a weekly newsletter filled with interesting articles, underrated headlines, weird little websites, forgotten tools, and introspective prompts, all tied around a unifying theme. It's a way of slowing down, staying curious, and rediscovering the joy of a non-algorithmic internet scroll. Think: 🌐 websites like Radiooooo (a time-travel jukebox), 🧠...

Thanks for this topic! Level of education: Master's Degree (MA) I do, however, I stopped correlating my level of education with how I define "success" around the time I was completing my Bachelor's. I simply enjoy academia, and I enjoy learning - even if I got my MA, I have a yearly goal of attending at least one complex learning program (a +1 month online course, a short-term course...
Hey makers, what’s your highest level of education, and do you consider yourself successful?

I believe we're giving too much of our personal data for the sole purpose of "innovating fast". The tech sector can innovate while also making sure they don't do it at the expense of people's wellbeing (ahem, the ones using the tech). I'm not of fan of the amount of regulation in Europe, which indeed slowed us down from an economic perspective, but I feel the US is too much of an unregulated...

Depends on whether I can call my newsletter a product 😆 I started working on Curiosity Saved The Cat (a weekly newsletter where I share internet gems in various formats for the curious souls, from OPeds, to videos, underrated news, listicles, games, and interactive websites, and I tie them to a central theme) in the beginning of February, but later in February I started working on Lifetoon, a...

I've been on PH for 5 years now, but mostly as a lurker. I've always wanted to build my own product, and I felt that lurking on PH from time to time would motivate/inspire me. I've only started being really active since this March, when I started working on @Lifetoon, and it's really nice to be more active in the community!

I'm soooo here for the comeback of events! I also believe that we'll all be so exhausted from AI slop (I already am lol) that anything implying in-person attendance will skyrocket. Glad to see Mark Cuban has the same perspective!
Mark Cuban is doubling down on events. Crazy move?

While I'm not exactly daily on the platform, I do enjoy checking it regularly as I find the community here valuable - it's nice to connect with people who are passionate about turning their ideas into products, have an early-adopter kind of mindset, and look at life as a lifelong growth journey. Learning about cool products is a nice bonus!
Why is it worth being on Product Hunt every day?

When I started Curiosity Saved The Cat, I looked into Beehiiv, Substack, and Kit. I went with Beehiiv because of their multitude of growth features (recommendations, analytics, complex monetization scheme, boosts, referral program, website builder). It has a wider range of growth-oriented features than Kit, and I personally like that it's just email-oriented, as Substack has a social media vibe...

I read somewhere something that goes like "We use AI to apply to jobs, HR uses AI to analyze the job applications, and nobody gets hired". Curious how you approached the part of making the cover letter sound personalized, human, not AI-generated 👀 Congrats on the launch and good luck growing the product!

Love this idea! Congrats on the product, I bookmarked it to give it a test later.
