Finally launched on Product Hunt!!!

Hi guys, I spent the last 4 months creating Poindeo, a free online video creation tool that lets you make dynamic zooming presentation videos for your product within clicks. 

I would appreciate if you guys could leave any feedback on the post if you like the product or think it's well executed.

I launched solo — and made it to the Top 5 today 🚀

Hey Product Hunt!
This morning I launched my first solo product ever: Controol a minimalist finance app built around one idea:

Know how much you can spend, not just what you already did.

No team. No paid ads. No launch list. Just late nights and building something I personally needed.
I honestly didn t expect much but hours later, it made it to the Top 5 of the day

The feeling? Wild.
Strangers are connecting with the mindset behind it, and it's been amazing to read their comments.

Show your 404 page (yes, really)

Most people phone it in on their 404 page. Some of you didn t. If yours has a little personality or went completely off the rails drop it here. Let s see who actually tried.

Here's ours! It cycles through different team member's pets because who doesn't love pets?

I was asked to delete a featured launch, but it's actually missing the point.

I had an experience today I wanted to share and get some thoughts on. Someone reached out to me asking if I could delete one of my past Product Hunt launches a product that was featured and received great attention on its launch day.

The reason given? They're planning an "official," coordinated launch next month and, based on their stated "research into PH rules," believed that a previous launch within six months would prevent their launch from being featured. They wanted a guaranteed feature, so they hoped removing the previous record would help.

Are there any products left that are completely AI-free?

Are there any products left that are completely AI-free? Honestly, I'm experiencing some serious AI-fatigue lately. It's as if a product doesn't deserve to exist in today's world without an AI component. Are there still straightforward problem-solving products out there without all the unnecessary AI bells and whistles?

P.S. I'm not saying AI is bad, but there are just too many products that are 'AI for the sake of AI'

Some great products launched in January that were not featured

Yesterday, I announced Product Hunt Gems, a Reddit community and newsletter for great products that were not featured on Product Hunt.

Our team has looked for such "hidden gems" since the beginning of the year, and below you will find some of the best ones that were launched in January. You'll find several more in our newsletter. I will post gems from February here tomorrow.
