Nobody said running a startup was easy but some issues whether it's increasing DAU, perfecting ad copy, increasing MRR, hiring, or whatever can be pull your hair out levels of frustration.

What's one pain point you are struggling with at the moment? Drop it in the replies and then help someone else based on your experience!

I'm learning (slowly) about the importance of marketing your product. (I am probably one of todays 10,000 around guerrilla marketing)
So last night I hacked together https://purposefulpoop.com/ to see if it could drive some leads for my product.
I'm going to launch the playful tool next monday and use this thread to give a plot synopsis on how it all goes.

Prior to launch though, I'm curious if anyone has any feedback that might make the hook stronger?
I added (a poorly designed) OG image, so the shareable is at least somewhat tasteful:

What else am I missing?

As my dashboards grow more complicated they always seem to descend into disorganized chaos with a bunch of different datasets and charts all over the place.
What are some good way to fight the chaos and keep things organized when dashboards start getting complicated?

Curious what s the most unexpected way someone s used your product? Looking for fun, weird, or totally unintended use cases.

When you re trying to cover multiple platforms with your brand and also cover other platforms for your business account, things can get a little out of hand.

How do you manage your communities and everything that comes with it?

Okay, so I know everyone's feed has been taken over by the Studio Ghibli but I'm curious what else people have been able to create or seen that's really left an impression. Here are some that I've created! Also on X.

I would like to warn you in advance that I do not want to offend any culture or country with this post. It only demonstrates observations from my own experience.

6 months ago, I had a conversation with a friend and we got to the topic of money.

Since the start of the year, over 30 people have approached me about working together only a few actually paid.

The paying clients were straightforward: they booked, paid, and it was done.

The rest asked endless questions and wanted previews, and then disappeared out of nowhere.

Hey Product Hunt community!

We gearing up for the launch of WebGremlin.ai and of course, planning to submit to PH. But I m curious, where else do you share your products to get traction? What are other platforms, forums, or communities that have worked well for you (like hackernews)? And while we re at it, what s your go-to initial launch strategy to make some noise?

Thanks in advance!

Startups move fast. Sometimes too fast. But when agility starts to feel like chaos, and scaling adds complexity, maintaining a structured yet flexible approach becomes a real challenge.

As someone who oversees multiple internal programs, runs Scrum daily, and juggles everything from stakeholder expectations to cross-team alignment (all while handling customer success!), I see this friction all the time:

Move too fast? Teams end up working reactively, losing sight of long-term goals.
Over-plan? Execution slows down, and teams struggle to adapt to change.

Would love to hear from fellow program leaders, product managers, Agile practitioners or anyone in between who navigates this daily chaos!:
How do you ensure agility doesn t derail long-term product vision?
What frameworks, tools, or processes have helped you scale Agile across teams?
How do you keep multiple squads rowing in the same direction without drowning in meetings?
What s one game-changing move you made that actually made scaling Agile easier (and didn t backfire)?
What s the one Agile rule you ve happily broken because reality demanded it?
Looking forward to your insights, lessons, and battle-tested strategies!

We all have that one productivity tool that's frustrating, overly complicated, or just clunky. But for some inexplicable reason, we can't live without it. Maybe it's because your team is hooked, or maybe it just gets the job done despite the friction.

What's the one tool you secretly dread using but keep coming back to anyway? And more importantly: what's keeping you loyal despite the love/hate relationship?

Hey Product Hunters!

I ve seen a lot of people jump straight into building an app without validating the idea first. Some succeed, but many end up realizing too late that there s little demand for their product.

I see a lot of tech products on Product Hunt that are meant to improve someone else's business situation, and as many makers as possible are ideally targeting the B2B market.

However, this past week I've also seen a lot of "fun" products that not only made it into the featured category but also earned one of the product of the day titles.

I think by 2030, the real question won't be "Do you use AI?" but "Can you work without it?"

I noticed this in my own life recently. 

I always said "I'm terrible at design" whenever I needed to make something look nice. 

I see a lot of brands launching multiple "smaller" versions of their main product here on Product Hunt. As Anthropic had a launch yesterday for Claude's search functionality today they have a think functionality. I also see that multiple brands does this. Is this a good strategy and has it worked? We launched on Product Hunt a month ago and used a lot of time and resources on it, but launching multiple times will require a lot of attention. What are people's thoughts?

I have made a list of platforms where you can create your community and share your knowledge in a closed circle (and in some cases sell memberships).

The list is according to my preferences, so the platforms I use the most are at the top.

My environment consists of many solo founders.

However, when I see someone is already starting to hire an employee, the question crosses my mind:
What profit has that person achieved when they can afford to pay another extra person?

Following on from what @gabe posted on the forum (I decide what's featured on the leaderboard - AMA w/ Gabe from Product Hunt) you can be more "clear" why you didn't make it to the featured leaderboard.

From the points presented in the discussion, several conclusions and perhaps even advice emerged, which can increase your chances of getting to the featured section.

Personally, I would summarize it as follows.

Notion, Obsidian, and Roam are great, but they re not for everyone. Maybe you found something simpler, faster, or just less overwhelming. What s the one productivity tool you actually stick with the one that makes life easier instead of adding more work?
