I build a Mac meeting recorder, and the whole pitch rests on one claim: your audio and its transcription never leave your machine.

The problem is that this is exactly the sort of thing everyone says. You cannot check it from a privacy policy.

So I published the source. The capture engine and the on-device transcription pipeline are readable, under GPL.

Honest question for this crowd: does that actually change anything for you? Or is source code the thing we all say we want and never open?

Ahrefs just dropped a study that changes how we think about SEO. They analyzed 863,000 keywords and 4 million AI Overview URLs. The findings are clear: the old playbook is broken.

In July 2025, 76% of URLs cited in AI Overviews also ranked in Google's top 10 for the same query. Today, that number has collapsed to 38%. The drop is real. The overlap has been cut in half in less than a year.

Where are the citations coming from now? The remaining citations are split almost evenly: 31.2% come from positions 11 100, and 31.0% come from outside the top 100 entirely. A huge chunk of AI citations are coming from pages you wouldn t even see on page one.

Why is this happening? Query fan out. When a user searches, Google splits the query into multiple related sub-queries and pulls sources from all of them. The pages that appear most often across those sub-queries get cited in the AI Overview, even if they don t rank for the original keyword. The AI answer is not a summary of the SERP below it.

Hi Product Hunt. I am Elitza and I am the founder of own.page. We launched on Product Hunt 20 days ago, and since then, it has brought us more than 1,900 signups.

I waited a long time before launching own.page here. Not because I didn t want to, actually, I wanted it a lot. But Product Hunt always felt like one of those big platforms where, if things go well, it can really change the momentum of a product. And because of that, I kept delaying it. For more than 6 months. I was thinking too much. What if the day is too competitive? What if nobody cares? What if we launch and nothing happens?

On X, I often saw people saying Product Hunt is dead. That it doesn t bring traffic anymore. That launches don t matter like they used to. But still, I wanted to do it no matter what people are saying. Before this, I had launched own.page on smaller launchpads. And yes, they helped. They brought some users, some traffic, some attention. I m grateful for that. But honestly it was nothing like Product Hunt.
