Released beta of CoFoundr

Hello Hunters,

You have a cool idea but don't know how to build it alone?

You have a solid MVP and need a marketing agent?

You just want to connect to worldwide entrepreneurs?

Who is using AI use in non-tech industries?

I mean, is your day job at a bank or an oil company or a manufacturer? Do you use consumer AI as part of your workflow? Does your company have any kind of objectives?

Notes from a failed Product Hunt launch

After hours of reading best practices, crafting the perfect assets and assembling what felt like a bulletproof plan, we were ready to launch on Product Hunt. We worked so hard and genuinely believed we d wake up to thousands of sign ups and the Product of the Day badge.

The reality was very different. We saw a tiny boost in sign ups, got stuck at around 200 upvotes, and to top it off, finished below a food blender.

#vibecoding : how many apps have you vibe coded so far?

Hi cursor users!

Personally I started creating app on cursor Just for fun, but recently I started to understand basics and my apps started to become more marketable. What about you? How is going your vibe journey?

Vibe coding process - do we jump in or plan it out?

I'm super curious how everyone starts to vibe code? In the beginning I would simply jump into @bolt.new or @Cursor and just do a prompt and continue refining with the AI. I quickly realized this created a lot of issues as I didn't think about the structure, tech stack, and how I wanted the features to interact with each other and how the way I was building things would impact the user experience. I now do the following:

  • Write down a simple problem statement: "what am I trying to solve?"

  • Write down a simple solution statement: "what does the thing I'm building do (to solve the problem)"

  • Share the above with @ChatGPT by OpenAI and word vomit my thoughts, ideas, how I want the user to interact with my app, etc and ASK ChatGPT to turn everything I said and want into an easy to understand directive and instructions for an Engineer.

  • I then take the Engineer instructions and give it to a new chat in ChatGPT and ask it to turn those instructions into a prompt for an AI engineer and to break up the project into sections so that each time we focus on a section the app is shippable and keeps things easy to work on.

  • I take the output and paste it into my notes. I then give it to Cursor.

  • Once in Cursor, I create a new project folder and got at it!

Curious what everyone else does and if you've experience any things to avoid or must do

just an excited indie maker with a lot of hunger

Hi Product Hunt Community!

I am really excited to start my journey here with you, I present myself: my name is Andrea, I'm from Catania, Italy and 24 y/o, currently I am finishing my master thesis in Neuroscience. It's been a year since I started my internship. I struggled a lot financially since internships in Italy are typically unpaid. To sustain myself during my studies, I had to take on another part-time job as a waiter.

But this lifestyle became impossible to sustain anymore due to low money income and zero personal time. Since part of my internship required tech skills, I decided to start learning coding, programming, data analysis, ML, and much more. I soon realized that with my knowledge and current cutting-edge AI technology, I could do much more than just data analysis. I began creating various apps (with and without AI), though I never published them. I even created a Streamlit app for analyzing my thesis data.

Now after roughly 6 months of training into building apps I decided to do it for real and try to make actual money from it. I have a very promising app that is still work in progress and I think that with this amazing community I can further leverage my experience and knowledge about coding and startup development!

New to PH - tips on becoming a valuable member for the community?

Hey! I'm on PH to prep for a new launch, and I'm looking for advice on best practices to becoming a valuable member! I'll be launching Siftree, an AI-powered social insights platform that analyzes topics across social media, similar to how financial platforms track stocks. Spot trends, find critical conversations (like leads), conduct market research, etc. - all alongside an AI analyst copilot.

Looking to connect with other founders and learn from experienced hunters!
