The best AI tools will be invisible: Introducing Pretty Prompt 1.1.0 🔮

Hot take on AI: The best AI tools will be invisible.

I used to think the best tools were the ones that had lots of features.

But making a tool disappear is more powerful than building endless features.

How much do you trust AI agents?

With the advent of clawdbots, it's as if we've all lost our inhibitions and "put our lives completely in their hands."

I'm all for delegating work, but not giving them too much personal/sensitive stuff to handle.

How can we make mentoring accessible and meaningful for everyone?

Hi everyone! I m Hansi, founder of You2Mentor. I started this platform to bridge the gap in mentoring. Most people either don t have access to mentors, or the mentoring they get is limited to the organisation or the department they work in.

We re building a platform that helps individuals find mentors and supports organisations in running structured mentoring programs. Users can set goals, track progress, and grow skills in a meaningful way.

Two of my discussions on Product Hunt were removed. And honestly? I’m glad they were.

I support structured, high-value discussions nobody wants forums filled with spam and self-promotion. But here s the issue: understanding what qualifies as valuable.

Product Hunt s updated guidelines push for original, engaging, and non-replicable content. Makes sense. But when posts disappear without clear reasoning, it creates confusion.

  • Where s the line between sharing insights and self-promotion?

  • What defines a post as high-value in this new system?

  • Why not offer feedback instead of outright removals?

Stronger moderation is great if paired with transparency. Instead of guessing what works, clearer guidelines and examples could help everyone create better discussions.

At what point does relying on no-code tools become a risk for product development?

With the rise of no-code and AI-powered tools, building products has never been easier. You can launch an MVP without writing a single line of code. But despite this, many still choose to build from scratch.

At what stage does relying on no-code tools become a risk? Are there scenarios where they limit scalability, security, or customization?

Is the directory business profitable? + Share some really good directories

Over the past year, I've noticed how makers have taken to creating directories on a large scale.

Since I am also thinking of creating one, I would like to know from owners or people who have experience:

What's The Best Founder Community in SF Other Than YC?

Y Combinator is probably the best founder community in the world. What I want to know is what are the top 2-5 after them? I am not referring to accelerators as much as high signal places for builders to congregate together, connect, and build. I am in SF now and am spending time at Founders Inc., HF0, and The Residency. How do those stack up? What else is out there? Would love your thoughts.

Is AI making us stupid?

I hate to say it and I don't want to sound pessimistic (but it's probably happening already :D)...

with all the conveniences we have, we are so fast and unfortunately also comfortable.

Product Hunt Finally Adds Text Formatting!

For nearly a decade, Product Hunt didn t offer any built-in text formatting those who wanted to style their text had to use raw HTML tags.

But that s changing now! You can finally format text in launch post comments, Maker comments, and forum threads (both posts and comments).
