In a quiet news release right before Halloween, @udio 's CEO @andrew_sanchez_udio announced their "historic partnership with Universal Music Group".

Due to new licensing terms, downloads on the platform will no longer be available after Nov 5, and they'll be launching a new streaming service.

Most people think users choose products based on features or price. In reality, support decides who stays.

A cheaper tool becomes expensive fast when every issue turns into a ticket nightmare. Meanwhile, teams keep paying more for products that solve problems and support them when it matters.

Support is not a cost. It is part of the product experience. Fast replies build trust. Clear answers reduce churn. Companies that treat support as a growth lever win.

I really wonder these questions

I really wonder these questions

Lately, I have been experimenting with how to feed context into GPT models more effectively.

For example, when fine-tuning or working with larger context windows, I have noticed that the dilemma is in organizing the surrounding information, rather than the prompt itself. Last week, I came to know that it's called Context Engineering.

Sometimes I have a problem to have a look at my past milestones or things I have achieved so far.
When I think about it, even creating my first product was a success for me. I ve always been a bit shy and afraid to show what I was working on, or I just didn t know how to present it properly, so it took me a really long time.

My first product was an online workout program with a payment gateway, and the monthly price was ridiculously low. But I managed to monetise it and had my first customers. I was probably around 20 at the time.

• What was your first product?

• What would you do differently to maintain it and make it successful?

• What lesson did you learn from it?

I ve been on this platform for almost three years without interruption, reviewing dozens of products every day. I try many of them, but only a few have become part of my daily routine, ones I can t imagine living without.

I will pin, for example, 3 of them:

@TabMagic - Bookmark & Tab Manager I no longer need 500 tabs open; I can save them to my dashboard and close my entire browser.

Our first Product Hunt launch didn t go well. We put something out there, pushed for votes, and hoped for the best. It didn t work.

For our relaunch, we took a completely different approach. Here s what changed:

• Engage, don t just post. We spent weeks commenting on other launches, supporting makers, and building trust. This time, people recognized us, not just the product.

• Conversations > upvotes. What made the difference were detailed comments and feedback. The algorithm rewards authentic engagement.

• Storytelling > specs. Instead of listing features, we shared why we built it and the problem it solved.

• Timing is everything. Launching at midnight PST gave us momentum when the U.S. audience woke up.

• Expectation reset. PH is less a sales channel, more a credibility engine. The real ROI shows up later, in awareness, trust, and partnerships.

What stood out the most: The community. The honest feedback, encouragement, and tough questions shaped our roadmap more than any internal discussion could.
