Can you build a strong community on Product Hunt in 2026?

TL;DR: Yes, you can build a strong community.

But if I break it down a bit:

How do you manage your time online and make sure you're spending it on something useful?

If I'm being honest, I'm online (and on PC in general) more than is healthy. Never less than 12 to 14 hours a day.

In practice, I use it most often for:

What motivates you more: tracking yourself or accountability from others?

I've been thinking a lot about how people actually stick to their goals. There seem to be two camps:

  Self-tracking You check in with yourself daily. You see your own progress, your streaks, your patterns. The

  motivation comes from within. You're accountable to yourself.

Introducing Cartly: An iOS Receipt Tracking App Built on Mnexium

We just published a new case study on Cartly, an iOS app that uses Mnexium to power a full receipt-tracking AI workflow. We really wanted to see what it would take to get a demo like this up and running.

In the post, we walk through how Cartly uses:

  • Memory for user preferences and continuity

  • Records for structured receipts and receipt_items storage

  • A single mnx runtime object to control identity, history, recall, and record sync

  • Request trace packets for auditability and debugging in production

How many Claude Codes do you run in parallel?

A couple weeks ago, Boris Cherny (the creator of Claude Code) shared a bunch of really useful tips on getting the most out of Claude Code. #1 at the top of the list: do more in parallel. He himself runs 10-15 Claude codes in parallel.

His advice and practice makes sense: coding agents give us the ability scale infinitely. At this point, the only real limiter is our own ability to manage all of these agents.

Are you trying to build a personal brand or a company brand first?

At the beginning of the year, 2 co-founders reached out to me because they wanted to scale their personal LinkedIn profiles. The reason: In a few months, they re planning to raise funding and believe their personal brand could help.

A few days ago, another founder contacted me with a similar intention, although he s not planning to raise funding. For him, LinkedIn has become the platform that generates the most leads. He doesn t particularly enjoy the network itself, but he still wants to keep building it.

Launching on Product Hunt Next Week... and Honestly, I'm Nervous

I recently saw a marketer with 10k+ followers launch and finish 6th with 348 upvotes. They followed a proper pre-launch and post-launch plan, did everything right, and still the outcome felt unpredictable.

Now I m launching @Curatora next week.

I m not a marketer. I have a little over 1k followers. Of course, asking for support helps. But I also keep hearing that a large part of the Product Hunt community shows up mainly for their own launch, then goes quiet until the next one.

That makes me wonder: how much of success here is strategy, and how much is timing and network effect?

2026 and your goals. Let's try to set them for Q1.

Since I haven't been able to meet my work goals very well in the last few quarters, I now plan to approach them more systematically and not push myself too hard on work goals, as that ultimately led to problems that made my plan less sustainable.

So here is my structure and list:
