What I built: A website that displays the landing page (and PH gallery) of the top product launches everyday
How it works: I setup a daily automation to fetch the products from the Product Hunt API and use puppeteer to generate full webpage screenshots. Implemented date/category filters and the ability to sort by daily ranking/upvotes.
I ve been building AI wrappers for the past 3 years as an indie hacker. None of them became profitable. Building failed products taught me how to code, design and market properly. And one day all those skills paid out

That was a golden opportunity major playing leaving the market, and its users scrambling for an alternative.
