Hi everyone :)

I'm Valentina, a technical writer who got into this field kind of by accident. I studied engineering and started with IoT devices and Arduino, then learned Python for automation and scraping. Somewhere along the way I ended up writing guides instead of just coding, and honestly I really enjoy it.

Why I'm here? I've been lurking on Product Hunt for a while and finally decided to join the conversation. As someone who writes about technical products, I'm always looking for new tools to explore and test. I also love seeing what other makers are building and learning from this community.

One thing I've noticed is that I prefer testing products myself rather than just trusting reviews. If anyone here is building dev tools, automation products, or anything in the AI space, I'd be happy to test them out and give honest feedback from a technical writer's perspective.

Hey Product Hunters

We're back. And this time, with a much sharper focus.

When we first launched @Curatora , it was a content discovery and publishing tool. Over time, one thing became very clear from user conversations.

Publishing was not the hard part.
Finding strong, timely content ideas was.

When I first started, I believed that as long as I built a great product, it would naturally become popular. But as I zoomed out, I realized the market is incredibly competitive. Having a good product alone isn t enough to truly convince users.

That s when I began building my presence on social media creating content about myself, sharing my journey, and talking about the product I m building. I ve come to see this as a very effective way to build trust and spark genuine interest not only in what I make, but also in who I am as a founder.
