Everywhere I look, people say build in public to grow your product and audience. Sounds great except when you re starting from zero and literally nobody cares yet. From what I ve figured out, it s less about getting likes right now and more about leaving a trail, progress updates, decisions you ve made, even mistakes. Most of it will get ignored in the moment, but it builds a record that people can stumble on later. Also, public doesn t have to mean blasting it to Twitter. It could be small niche communities, Reddit threads like this, or a tiny newsletter. Basically, don t measure it by immediate engagement. Think of it as planting seeds for your future self. Anyone here actually started with no audience and made build in public work? What did you do?
I'm excited to announce that PageFlow, my new #android launcher that transforms your phone into a dedicated #e-reader experience, is ready for early testing. What is PageFlow? PageFlow replaces your standard Android home screen with a clean. https://pageflow.notion.site/239...
SaaS founders talk about moats: network effects, tech IP, etc. But what about service businesses? How do you build a moat when anyone can claim they do what you do?
If you're running a studio, agency, or consulting firm, what makes your offer defensible long-term?
With every new release, OpenAI is killing many startups and smaller companies. For example, the latest OpenAI Agents will surely make some existing AI agents obsolete...
How do you foresee the future of the industry? Do you think the future of AI is heading toward a concentration of power among big whales like OpenAI, Google, Meta, etc.?
The other day I saw a poll on LinkedIn which said one of the biggest ongoing struggles of startups and small businesses is reliable, scalable lead generation especially beyond the usual tools like Apollo, ZoomInfo, Clearbit, etc.
Product Hunt often features some fresh and creative approaches to data. I have seen some around company enrichment, contact intelligence, trigger signals or even outreach automation. But often PH launches get forgotten after their launch day.
What are some lesser-known or recent data tools you ve come across on Product Hunt that help with lead gen, enrichment, or prospecting?
Ever tried recording a quick video message or chatting with ChatGPT and suddenly your AI note-taker like Granola, or Notion pops up saying: Meeting detected!
I am not sure why there is a need for products to undergo a branding upgrade (like name, logo, colour, etc.) even when the core set of features have not changed much.
Whenever I came across such pivots, I felt like it's an attempt to change the perception of the product.
I ve been working on some AI projects recently things like scheduled agents, API responders, and multi-agent systems that need to run continuously. One of the biggest headaches I ve run into is deployment.
Most cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, etc.) are built for stateless apps or short-lived functions. But for long-running, stateful agents, the kind that need to persist data, auto-recover from crashes, and expose custom endpoints it gets surprisingly messy. I ve spent so much time setting up VMs, Docker configs, and recovery logic than actually writing agent behavior logic.
Hey everyone, We are doing everything we can to gain insights and get feedback on our app. The people that trial our app do not seem open to discussing their experience or providing feedback so I thought I would ask fellow founders how you overcame this and where you go to get insights and feedback on your app.
Hi community, Thanks a lot for sharing your support for the UTCP launch. Since our goal behind the UTCP (in addition to the technical elegance) is that no single organization should have any control over the protocol that governs agent tool calling, therefore the main contributors behind UTCP don't belong to a single company or country, for that matter. To make it even more grassroots and community-driven, we've also launched a RFC (Request for Comments). Please check it out, and let's collectively build a kickass protocol for agent tool calling: https://www.utcp.io/RFC Also, if you'd like to contribute, please reach out. Or just drop a on the GitHub to keep the flywheel going. https://github.com/universal-too...
I sometimes fail to understand the pricing strategy of some new products in the market. They come with a free plan with limited/locked features along with a paid plan with no trial days.
Not talking about enterprise products here. Some products follow this even when they have nothing to lose by offering their highest plan free for a few days.
At what age did you really start, whether that meant full time job, freelancing, building, exploring, experimenting, or just helping someone with a skill?
For me, it was age 16. I landed an internship as a social media handler and content writer for a small Aussie e-commerce shop. Nothing too fancy, but it taught me how real work works. Since then, I've been exploring everything
I ve seen people start at 12 coding games, others at 25 making bold pivots. There s no right timeline, just a lot of interesting journeys.
I m one of the co-founders of Cashzine.AI, a lightweight AI toolkit that makes image editing incredibly simple especially for non-designers.
We built it because we were tired of spending too much time on small, repetitive tasks like background removal, image upscaling, or making headshots for social/media use. Tools like Photoshop are powerful but not always fast or beginner-friendly.
