How can you use Product Hunt to increase your credibility and popularity?

I ve mentioned several times that I see Product Hunt as a social platform, and I can say that over the past almost 3 years, it has helped me in several ways, for example:

Meeting founders and finding a community where I feel among ambitious people
Getting first access to innovative tech products
Gaining publicity being regularly present made me more visible

So how can all of this be converted into increased credibility?

Founders: what is your favourite channel for growing your audience?

I m pretty sure most founders grow mainly on Twitter. Or LinkedIn.

But I ve realised it really depends on what kind of product you ve built.

If you re a fashion-focused founder, you probably grew up on Instagram or Pinterest.

What’s your “digital burnout” moment that made you rethink your habits?

I recently hit a weird kind of burnout not from overworking, but from being constantly online.

Between coding, Slack, Twitter, YouTube, and checking analytics, my brain never really rests.

Even when I take a break, I open another app.

What are your productivity hacks for recovering in your free time?

I don't know about you, but I feel like I've been working non-stop for years now, and I don't know how I'm able to do it. And it's often because I include activities in my daily life that make my work more enjoyable or break up the monotony.

For example:

I exercise every day (and listen to video casts about tech, business, and marketing in the background)

Ninjadoc beats Google's Document Ai

I compared Google's Document Ai with my project on a 12 page document to get an answer and bounding boxes / coordinates.

Google's Document Ai took about 1 minute to respond, didn't reply / didn't bring any coordinates back (I was expecting the checkbox to be highlighted)

What kind of physical work would you do to relax? (Explained more in the thread)

Yesterday, in a few Reddit forums and generally from the discussions around me, I noticed that people are "tired" of office work.

Either too much routine or exaggerated demands on creativity and the like. Mostly, these are people who are paid well and can afford to "leave" their jobs to explore, relax, do something else.

Which pricing model is working for you?

For years, SaaS pricing revolved around seats.

If you're adding more teammates then pay more.

This was simple, predictable and scalable.

Google Rolls Out Gemini ‘Help Me Schedule’ in Gmail for One-to-One Meetings

  • A new Help me schedule button appears in @Gmail when @Gemini detects scheduling intent in a draft, displaying available time slots pulled from your @Google Calendar.

  • Senders can edit or add options before inserting the suggestions into an email as an in-line picker for the recipient.

  • @Gemini uses cues such as requested duration or timeframe to tailor suggestions, like offering 30-minute slots next week when that is specified.

  • When the recipient selects a time, @Google automatically creates a meeting on both participants calendars.

  • The feature is limited to two-person scheduling and requires both parties to use Gmail with Google Calendar, with rollout beginning today for Workspace customers and Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers as part of a broader Workspace AI push.

The State of Vibe Coding 2025 - Key Takeaways

The @v0 by Vercel team recently dug into industry trends to publish the first State of Vibe Coding report.

My key takeaways:

  1. Everyone can build: 63% of vibe coding users are non-developers, generating UIs (44%), full-stack apps (20%), and personal software (11%).

  2. Adoption is everywhere, with significant adoption rates in APAC (40.7%), Europe (18.1%), North America (13.9%), and LATAM (13.8%).

  3. 92% of US developers use AI coding tools every day

  4. 30% of new code at @Google is generated by AI

  5. 25% of @Y Combinator startups rely on AI-generated code

  6. Rapid expansion has a cost. Vibe coding apps keep hitting vulnerabilities: exposing secrets, access misconfigurations, hardcoded credentials.

  7. The future: going mainstream or hitting its sweet spot in working MVPs, the vibe coding trend is here to stay, and it's happening now.

How to stay consistent on Product Hunt?

Today I celebrate a big milestone. 365 days in a row active on Product Hunt. Honestly, quite a number given how many things happened in my life this year, it feels like I could write a book about it.

But consistency takes effort. Here are 3 things that helped me:

Open Infrastructure for the Agentic Era

Hey Product Hunt, Musa here.

We re entering a new era not just of models, but of agents.

But there s a missing piece nobody talks about: the infrastructure layer that keeps them alive, efficient, and accountable.

When will technology advance to the point where we can live on Mars or the Moon?

Yesterday, @zaczuo shared an idea about delivering packages from space. To me, that seems quite sci-fi and financially demanding to actually pull off. Today, I m reading that Bezos predicts millions of people could be living in space by 2050.

How realistic is this scenario, given that the last time we set foot on the Moon was more than 50 years ago? (And above all, I feel like we still can t solve basic problems on Earth, let alone expand into space.)

Entering Beta: Codebase Understanding + Agents.md Export + Modes

If generating code is a commodity, then what is built, and how is the most critical question to answer.

This is the goal of Shotgun - to help you turn technical research and spec generation into context for software engineers, AI code-gen tools like Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, with complete codebase understanding, and agents doing the heavy lifting.

Shotgun produces clean, reusable artifacts and exports to the agents.md ecosystem to help you get the most out of code-gen tools and Agents.

New release highlights:

✨ Introducing: AI-powered search engine

Hey PH!
We ve been building something new, an AI-powered search engine for DIY & home improvement, built from scratch. The idea is simple: help you quickly find the right tutorials, guides, and answers without all the clutter.

Kind of like Perplexity, but for makers

  • Ask any DIY questions

  • Get quick, reliable results from trusted sources

  • Follow up to dig deeper or refine answers

Is it possible to improve "AI SEO" on ChatGPT using Reddit?

I have seen ChatGPT often cites Reddit when forming responses.

Last month, there was a flood of posts on LinkedIn recommending brands to establish a presence on Reddit for better AI SEO.

AMA: Ask me anything about scaling AI agents to production

Hello good people, Musa here-

When we built GraphBit, one thing became clear: the hardest part isn t building AI demos, it s keeping agents alive in production.

What’s the easiest no-code tool for handling subscriptions + payments?

Hey Makers I m exploring options for managing subscriptions, payments, and authentication in a super simple way. Ideally, something that s: 1. No-code / low-code friendly 2. Easy to integrate without a ton of setup 3. Handles the boring stuff like billing, invoicing, cancellations, and user access automatically I ve looked at a few tools, but many feel too heavy for a small MVP. Curious to know: What are you using right now? Any lightweight tools that worked really well for your early-stage product? Bonus if it has a generous free tier or is affordable for indie founders. Would love to hear what s working for this community before I commit to something!
