Hi everyone! I m Rokaya. Super excited to finally be here
Quick intro: I started out as a marketing director for software companies, then moved into sales at Gartner, and eventually left to start my own CMO-as-a-service consultancy. For the last few years I ve been helping B2B tech startups grow through super-personalized outbound stuff that actually booked meetings for my clients and grew their pipeline.
Hey fellow Chyridians (yeah, we just decided that this is a term now),
after our launch here on product hunt last week, we gained more users than we could have imagined. So first of all, thanks a lot for that!
Along with our users came a lot of feedback and ideas for new features that we should add, one of them being embedded code-blocks and that is what we went for first! We are excited to announce that as of today, you can use the new Source Code block! This block will allow you to paste your code as well as select the programming language to allow for proper syntax highlighting when being rendered in the finished manual.
Anytime we want to see technological advancements, we either keep an eye on Product Hunt, Techcrunch or the military. And that's today's case.
In the morning, I read this announcement:
Meta is partnering with defense tech company Anduril to develop AR/VR headsets for the U.S. military, starting with a new device called EagleEye. The new headset will include night vision, thermal sensing, and augmented reality features. The partnership has raised eyebrows due to Meta s role in data and AI, and the ethical implications of a social media giant entering the military tech space.
In addition to files and folders, with Desktop Ghost Pro 2.1, you can now hide external disks, connected servers, and removable media from appearing on your desktop to stay spotless and distraction-free.
Release Notes:
Desktop Ghost Pro can now hide mounted volumes (external disks, hard disks, connected servers, and/or removable media) from appearing on the desktop! For this feature to work you must grant Desktop Ghost Pro permission to send Apple events when prompted.
Pocket is shutting down - by now, we all know that. I wasn t a regular user myself, but I did test the app about a year ago.
From what I m seeing in the comments, long-time users are understandably panicking. There are plenty of alternatives out there, but it seems like people are struggling to find something they can easily switch to.
So I m curious - how did you use Pocket?
And have you found a replacement that actually works for you?
I believe this topic is relevant to you as well, since there are many company founders here at various stages of starting up or running their businesses.

Some tools just feel more reliable even if the backend models are similar. Is it the tone, layout, citations, or transparency of the process? What gives you confidence to act on what AI says?
Just yesterday I prevented my team from adding an exotic feature to our product.
My hypothesis is that people don't like many features in a product as that complicates the product adoption e.g. many sales guys hate CRMs for this reason. In that sense, more features might equate to no features as users don't adopt/use the product. So, minimalistic products that solve 1 big problem (80% of the problem pie) is what people like.
Linear for Agents is now GA. Who is building or using an agent for Linear?
We recently built one for using Bucket feature flags within Linear (and shared some of our lessons learned). Would love to hear from others building or using agents. We're just getting started with our Linear integration and are keen to get feedback. We've plans to add:
Feedback/adoption result summaries to the agent
Support for an access summary embed whenever a link to a feature on Bucket is dropped
Plus, integrate our feedback function with Linear's customer requests - making it possible to capture customer requests directly from within your application
