About

I am a Student, side-project junkie, and caffeine-fueled coder with a passion for exploring new tools, breaking things to learn how they work, and occasionally building something awesome on top. I thrive in hands-on environments where curiosity meets code, and I'm always on the lookout for interesting problems to solve, whether through a hackathon, a late-night idea sprint, or an open-source contribution. From front-end experiments to backend tinkering, I'm driven by the thrill of learning and creating.

AI is everywhere...what’s one thing it still can’t do right?

I work with startup teams and use AI tools almost every day for writing, research, support, and more. It saves a lot of time, no doubt. But there are still things AI just can t do well.

For example, when reading customer feedback, AI often misses the real meaning behind the words, like when someone sounds polite but is actually unhappy. Or when making product decisions, AI can list pros and cons, but it doesn t really understand the bigger picture or timing like a human would.

Should you offer free access when launching a paid product on Product Hunt?

I'm seeing more products launch on Product Hunt that require payment to actually use any features. No free trial, no freemium tier, just a download that leads straight to a paywall.

Part of me thinks this makes sense. If your product has real value, why give it away? People on Product Hunt understand they're looking at premium tools. Plus offering free access can attract users who will never pay anyway.

But I also see the argument for temporary free access during launch. Product Hunt users want to actually try what they're upvoting. How can they give meaningful feedback or become advocates if they hit a paywall immediately?

How Would You Build a SaaS Blog Today? (Ghost, WordPress, MDX?)

We're planning our new SaaS blog and could use some advice on the tech stack.

What's the best way to build a blog these days for good SEO and an easy workflow for writers?

We're debating between a CMS (like Ghost/WordPress), building it directly into our app, or a simple static site (MDX). How did you build yours? Curious to hear what you'd recommend!

Also, for early-stage SaaS products still in MVP phase, what setup would you recommend to keep things simple but still SEO-friendly? Is it better to start scrappy with MDX or Notion + super.so-style setups, or go straight for a Headless CMS if we plan to scale content quickly?
