Would you pay more for a product with great support?

Most people think users choose products based on features or price. In reality, support decides who stays.

A cheaper tool becomes expensive fast when every issue turns into a ticket nightmare. Meanwhile, teams keep paying more for products that solve problems and support them when it matters.

Support is not a cost. It is part of the product experience. Fast replies build trust. Clear answers reduce churn. Companies that treat support as a growth lever win.

I really wonder these questions

How do you treat your competition? Is your stance more adversarial or friendly?

I ve noticed two main narratives in how companies view their competitors.

Either it s a fight to the death approach exactly like what we see between Replit and Lovable (though it seems Replit does more of the provoking ) basically: We speak badly about our competition.

Which stream will prevail: Pro AI or Anti AI?

Today, I read 2 messages that are contradictory in nature, and it seems like one branch is rebelling against the other.

  • Meta and other big tech companies are replacing human workers with AI.

  • Heineken, Aerie, Polaroid, and even Cadbury are riding the anti-AI wave, mocking Big Tech and positioning human-made creativity as the ultimate authenticity flex.

How do you think that these pro and anti streams can affect the evolution of AI and our perception of its use?

🥉 Friends, ProblemHunt took 3rd place in the «Product of the Day» race!

Friends, thanks to your support, ProblemHunt took 3rd place in the Product of the Day race!

1. The race featured exactly 222 products, including: ChatGPT Atlas by OpenAI, XMind with over 100 million users, the much-talked-about Manus AI, and many other strong competitors. Admittedly, it wasn't easy. But thanks to our close-knit, responsive, and friendly community, we managed to break into the top 3. This genuinely inspires us and gives us energy to actively develop ProblemHunt for you. From the bottom of our hearts thank you to each and every one of you!

LangChain announces Series B raising $125M at a $1.25B valuation

From @hwchase17 :

Today, we re announcing we ve raised $125M at a $1.25B valuation to build the platform for agent engineering. We re also releasing new capabilities to accelerate the path to reliable agents, including LangChain and LangGraph 1.0 releases, a new Insights Agent, and a no code agent builder. IVP led the round alongside existing investors Sequoia, Benchmark, and Amplify, as well as new investors CapitalG and Sapphire Ventures.

Imagine that they got their start here when I hunted @LangSmith in 2023.
Man, shoulda invested back then!

Do you think early users care about design or just function?

I ve been thinking about how much design quality actually matters in the earliest stages of a product.

Some users don t seem to mind rough edges if the tool genuinely solves a problem. Others instantly bounce if the UI doesn t feel trustworthy.

What kind of technology surprised you last time?

We keep seeing things like AI and LLM. But I'm happy about technology products that go beyond the occasional. For example, today I read that Aura is introducing a $499 e-ink digital photo frame that allows you to work without a cable.

I was also happy with the @Flowtica Scribepen from @zaczuo .

I Built my SaaS Using Vibecoding (and Why I Chose Claude Sonnet 3.5)

I just launched AllPub.co and built pretty much the entire thing using Vibecoding with Claude Sonnet 3.5. I'm a software architect with just some basic Python knowledge, so this was my first full web app build. Wanted to share my experience!

What I Built

Reached 1,000 Users!

Hey everyone!

Critic has hit 1,000 users in <12 weeks!

Why your 500+ member community might not help you win on Product Hunt at all?

Yesterday, I had a chat with a founder who s launching on Product Hunt next week.

He said: We ve got a community of 500+ people. Getting Product of the Day should be easy.

So I asked one question:

How many of them have an active Product Hunt accounts that are at least 4 6 weeks old?

The State of Vibe Coding 2025 - Key Takeaways

The @v0 by Vercel team recently dug into industry trends to publish the first State of Vibe Coding report.

My key takeaways:

  1. Everyone can build: 63% of vibe coding users are non-developers, generating UIs (44%), full-stack apps (20%), and personal software (11%).

  2. Adoption is everywhere, with significant adoption rates in APAC (40.7%), Europe (18.1%), North America (13.9%), and LATAM (13.8%).

  3. 92% of US developers use AI coding tools every day

  4. 30% of new code at @Google is generated by AI

  5. 25% of @Y Combinator startups rely on AI-generated code

  6. Rapid expansion has a cost. Vibe coding apps keep hitting vulnerabilities: exposing secrets, access misconfigurations, hardcoded credentials.

  7. The future: going mainstream or hitting its sweet spot in working MVPs, the vibe coding trend is here to stay, and it's happening now.

Mark Cuban is doubling down on events. Crazy move?

Mark Cuban posted on June 5, 2025 that AI video will get so realistic in the next three years that people won't trust what they see online. His prediction: face-to-face engagement and events will explode.

The hardest part of building with AI isn’t model quality- it’s memory.

The first few prompts work fine.

Then context windows overflow.

You patch in RAG, caching, vector DBs and suddenly half your system is just trying to remember what it already knew.
