Do you trust autonomous (robo) vehicles? And who should be responsible for any related accidents?

We often cover software topics on ProductHunt, but sometimes we overlook the fact that tech can be felt most in the physical world (hardware).

As of mid-2024, there have been approximately 3,979 reported incidents involving autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the United States since reporting began in 2019. Source

Skype closed down - here are top 6 Skype alternatives for international calls

For the past 10 years, whenever I needed to call an international number, I used Skype. It had my back when I had to clear things up with the US university admissions from Austria, arrange a hotel pickup in Bali, or call my EU bank to see why my card was blocked while I was trekking through Argentina. I could call anywhere in the world for cents, and it was delightful.

In February 2025, Microsoft announced it was closing Skype down, and on May 5 it officially stopped operations. I was really sad when I heard the news with Skype, a huge chunk of my life disappeared. It felt the same way as if, one day, nobody would be playing on Call of Duty 2 servers anymore (that hasn t happened yet, right?).

Anyway, here I ve compiled a list of the top 6 alternatives to Skype for international calling. I used the following criteria to select them:

How to not break up with your cofounder

1. You need to be equal partners

Tim (my cofounder and co-CEO) and I started with quite asymmetric experience.

I had previously been a VP of sales, responsible for sales, support, and account management. Tim was an insanely talented, 23-year-old engineer, and was much earlier in his career I m nearly 10 years older.

How would you build the "perfect (personal) news feeds" tool? Or there's an AI saving you already?

Hey Product Hunt family!

Wanna hear your thoughts on tools for news feeds or news digest!

I have some prompt tips to share

Prompting is everything in the age of vibe coding. Knowing how to guide AI precisely and efficiently is the key to getting the results you want. Today, I m sharing some of my favorite prompting tips, plus a handy cheatsheet I put together.

Prompting Tips That Actually Work

  • Be spatially specific. Use keywords like "left", "right", "centered", "aligned to bottom", "spaced evenly" to help the model place elements correctly.

  • Mention device behavior. If it should behave differently on mobile vs desktop, say so. Ex: "stacks on mobile, grid on desktop".

  • Use visual vocabulary. Mention familiar UI terms like "modal", "toast", "card", "hero section", or "split view" to tap into known design structures.

  • Give UX intent. Add the why: "Add white space for readability", "Add a hover effect for feedback", "Use a progress bar to show completion".

  • Sequence your ideas. For complex prompts, list in steps: "First, add a header. Below that, place a form with two inputs...". AI loves structure.

  • Say what not to do. If you want to avoid scrollbars, animations, shadows, etc., say so.

  • Don t forget empty states. Great design considers what happens when nothing is there say "show a placeholder when list is empty".

  • Test prompt variants. Swap words like "tile" vs "card", "modal" vs "popup" to see which gives cleaner structure.

  • Use active voice. Start with a verb: "Add", "Place", "Make", "Create", "Animate", "Style". It helps guide generation.

How can I actually get Google Cloud Credits? (Too much is never enough)

I m growing a small SaaS. And cloud costs are starting to hurt. I keep hearing about founders stacking $100-300k in Google Cloud credits, but all the advice feels vague or locked behind big-name accelerators.
Where did you actually get credits?
Any creative hacks or things to avoid?
If you ve cracked this, I d love to hear what worked.

And if you re still figuring it out too, just drop a comment. If I ve gathered some useful stuff, I'll be happy to share.

Does your company welcome juniors and interns despite AI progress?

Do you remember when we talked about Duolingo replacing staff with AI about a week ago?

The story continues.

May Voice AI course: $10k in credits + a session with Product Hunt

We've got a great roster of participating companies for the month-long Voice AI course and community events series that starts this week.

Self-publishing a book to go with our app

hello, sina here, founder of integralhq.com. hope you're well.

i'm self publishing a small free book on building, growing and monetizing online communities. i've built lots of communities that have anything from hundreds to thousands of members (including a small paid founder community in asia), and i've always used the same set of actions/mental models for going from 0 to the first 20 active members and then more, and then retention, then the growth flywheel and monetization.

Is It Crazy to Build a Local App in a Browser-First, AI-Driven World?

Every day, the PH feed is packed with shiny new SaaS tools most of them browser-based, many of them AI-infused. It s exciting, no doubt. But compared to a time not so long ago, something seems missing: local desktop apps.

They re rare now, and it makes me wonder are native apps still worth building, or have they quietly slipped into the realm of nostalgia?

After all, web apps offer clear benefits for both users and makers or investors. Users don t have to install anything, updates are seamless, and their data is accessible from any device with a browser. For investors, the advantages are just as compelling: a single tech stack, easier user onboarding, lock-in effects, and plenty of levers for driving growth and virality.

If you lost everything and had to start from zero, how would you get back?

There's always a lesson in failure.

If anyone went through the situation of having lost everything, would love to hear about your story on how you got back on track! If not, would still love to hear about your hypothetical approach.

When is the right time to let kids use social media and the internet?

The longer I've been an internet user, the more I feel like I'm missing out on something (FOMO) every second I'm offline. The tech world changes so fast.

My first experience with a computer was around the age of 8 I used Microsoft Paint to sketch houses because we didn t have internet at home. I got online for the first time at 11, and by 12 or 13, I had already joined social media.

Contra just hit 1 million independents! Which number were you?

They're making it possible to see your member number fun to think @Contra got started here on Product Hunt 4 years ago!

Restart to update again?

Dear @Windsurf, I appreciate the frequent updates. Love seeing a fast moving product. But, the restart-to-update is pretty brutal. There are like 3 updates per week.

I have long running processes in the editor terminal like my development server and rails console. When I restart the editor, I have to manually restart these processes. Some ideas:

  1. Maybe it's possible to have some updates without restarts?

  2. Can you indicate when my local major or minor version is behind the latest? I am no longer willing to restart the editor for most patch updates.

How do you actually get AWS credits?

Hey folks,

I m building SaaS product on a ramen budget. The painful surprise? My burn on must have SaaS and Cloud is eclipsing what I can put into marketing and product.

I keep hearing legends about founders stacking thousands in AWS credits or discounts. But every blog post feels dated or locked behind an accelerator gate.

If you ve personally snagged legit credits (not referral spam), could you share:
