Since I've been trying to up my LinkedIn game, I want to connect with the most prominent people on the platform. (Ideally, in the marketing field.)

LinkedIn was primarily a B2B platform or a platform for getting a job (HR segment), but I can see more emerging creators and influencers/stars, who can earn money from sponsorships. If you know how to treat the content, you can get a chance to stand out and create posts that bring you results.

Let's play a bit of Nostradamus! What are your thoughts on 2026 changes in vibecoding tools capabilities, market dominance etc?
Here is mine:
From prompt app to ideate define plan build.
The winners won t start with a random prompt. They ll start with structure: clarity, scope, flows, acceptance criteria then build.
A whole services ecosystem will form around vibecoding.
Two obvious categories:
= Make it release-ready (engineers finishing the last 20%: architecture, edge cases, compliance etc)
= GTM for the masses (hundreds of thousands of apps shipped and most builders won t know what to do next)
Also: hackathons + internal workshops inside enterprises will become the new sexy way to learn AI. The best vibecoding companies will run these as growth loops.
Enterprise will enter heavily the chat.
Big players will optimize for ENT prototyping + internal tooling, where budgets exist and good enough fast is a real superpower.
Pricing will drop (or evolve).
A real reason people leave vibecoding tools for Cursor is simple: cost (even 20/month is a friction point at scale). Expect pricing to shift in favor of users and monetization to get more creative.
Influencer-educators will become distribution.
The value of an army of consultants/influencers who teach AI via workshops will compound. A strong professional ecosystem can 100 your reach.
Micro-SaaS stories will explode.
We ll hear hundreds of mom & pop businesses doing $1 5k/month not unicorns, but real freedom businesses from non-tech people.
Mobile becomes a priority for almost everyone.
The next wave won t stop at web prototypes. People will want real mobile products.
Niche wins again.
As broad tools saturate, builders will go specialized: video-only landing pages with AI type products or what I m personally obsessed with: native iOS apps and building modaal.dev
Meanwhile, AI companies will keep shifting upmarket to bigger deals and stickier customers.
Curious what you re seeing what would you add / disagree with?

Hollywood started panicking because of this Netflix X Warner Bros acquisition.

I m deeply immersed in cinematography, and to me, this feels like proof that theatres could decline even further as people continue to favour streaming. I m also questioning what this means for content quality. Fewer major producers could create more room for monopolies and potential price wars, and I think we can expect subscription prices to rise as a result.

For anyone who s tried marketing on Reddit, how do you avoid getting banned while still getting real traction?

This is an issue I've seen so many creators face as they market on Reddit, especially initially as they start their journeys on there.

When I started Concrete, I thought growth meant hiring more sales reps.

Wrong....

I learned that scaling sales is about systems, not headcount.

Over the last year, we built APOS an AI-powered outreach machine that:

Hey, I m Ankur.

As a product marketer, I ve always believed the best ideas start with listening, or rather, 'really' listening to people s stories, challenges, and wins.

A few days ago stumbled upon a statistic that Reddit is widely used as a source of information for AI answers.

Reddit answered: They wanna block access to the Internet Archive (kind of protection against scraping)

Hey Product Hunt

I m Alex (26) and I m building Payro together with my brother Chris @chrissxxn (24). We re based in Amsterdam.

We started our first business selling specialized hardware for blockchain projects when we were still teenagers, and over the years we ve shifted our focus to building SaaS products.

I've been pretty impressed at the amount of products people (including myself) have been able to create which got me curious... do vibe coders or AI-primary builders have a place in a company or team?
My thinking is the more technically adept would work on the core-focus while vibecoders can assist with other tasks that shouldn't be the main devs focus...like a potential feature add, minor changes, or even exploring different ways of modifying the existing product.
I'm curious what you all think, would you hire a vibe coder?

Curious what's your preference: @bolt.new @Lovable @Replit @v0 by Vercel? or else?

Whenever I m about to buy something (especially something more expensive), I can be easily influenced by recommendations from people I trust and know. That might be well-known accounts on X or suggestions from friends.

Or, I go and read the reviews.

During the time spent on Product Hunt, there are already quite frequent faces who have profiled themselves as top hunters through their activity.

Their names are prominent among hunters, and they probably have to think twice about what they stand for.

Hey vibecoding community!

My vibecoding stack: I've been deep in the Apify + Railway + Claude ecosystem. Built 7 Apify actors already, and honestly, this combination is incredible for scraping and automation. The Railway MCP integration with Claude works perfectly for deployment.

But here's the disconnect I'm seeing: We can vibe code amazing products in days, but most Marketing teams/ CMOs/ founders spend months executing GTM strategies designed for predictable markets that no longer exist.

Hey Product Hunt community!

I'm Shashwat, and I just finished a deep analysis that revealed something concerning about how startups approach growth.

What I do:
I audit GTM strategies for early-stage startups to Series C companies. After seeing too many promising products fail to gain traction despite solid teams and funding, I started systematically analyzing what's actually working.

My recent discovery:
60% of startups are burning money on GTM strategies designed for predictable markets that no longer exist.

I might be missing some but I've been pretty much in love with @Lovable, @Cursor, @bolt.new and have been trying to use @Replit more and I honestly haven't touched @BASE44 too much but have heard good things. @chrismessina has nudged me to use @Windsurf for whenever I build another Raycast Extension!
Currently I use:
- @bolt.new / @Lovable
- @Cursor
- @Warp
Curious what everyone thinks is the top one so far!

Every time I vibe code there is always this huge lift that I constantly have to go through. Authentication, billing, password resets, emails, signup, waitlist, landing page and when it s all said done and the app is ready then comes the marketing, the blogging, the social media automation, the product hunt launch etc etc etc . So much repetitive crap that I have to do just to get a simple app up and running. How do you guys handle all this?

Since I am a coder and a hammer sees everything as a nail, I decided to create all this code as a template so I can jump into building an app right away. There is actually a lot more than what I mentioned above e.g customer support, chat, roadmap for building in public, email flows and more coming.
