Maybe it is only me, but I see certain categories of online products that seem to be like "copy-paste" and the market is overcrowded by them. (and they repeats in the PH charts too often as well)
They are especially these:
AI writing tools
social media apps (I do not think that something breath-taking can be developed there)
After spending the last few years building an AI startup within a corporate setup navigating ambiguity, owning end-to-end execution, wearing multiple hats I m now stepping into the job market.
But here s the catch: When you apply as a founder, even within a structured organization, it often raises eyebrows more than interest. Was it just a title? Was it too niche? Was it too independent to translate into team-based environments?
I see a lot of tech products on Product Hunt that are meant to improve someone else's business situation, and as many makers as possible are ideally targeting the B2B market.
However, this past week I've also seen a lot of "fun" products that not only made it into the featured category but also earned one of the product of the day titles.
If you're a SaaS, digital product, agency or freelancer what payment gateways do you use to handle local methods, taxes and subscriptions?
PayPal charges me 5% per transaction and their support is unwilling to reduce it to 3% for me while I know they do lower the transaction fee for certain accounts.
We've seen a lot of growth in AI comment generators lately auto-creating comments and replies based on available info. Do you think apps like these are positive or detrimental to community-focused platforms like Product Hunt? Fwiw, we're aware that many folks are already choosing to use these kinds of services on Product Hunt. We're actively working on ways to address it, but I'm curious how our community feels about this type of engagement. Please vote (and explain your thoughts)!
