How often do you update your product? Balancing speed vs. stability
Hi PH community, As an app owner, I’ve been thinking about version update strategies—specifically, how to strike the right balance between: Keeping users engaged with regular improvements Avoiding update fatigue or quality issues I’ve seen teams release updates anywhere from weekly to quarterly while the others ship features once when they’re ready. I’d love to open a discussion to hear each...
What Makes a Great Home Screen Widget in 2025?
Home screen widgets have been around for a while now — on both Android and iOS — but their design, utility, and popularity seem to vary a lot depending on the platform and user habits.

But it got me thinking: what other cool stuff could AI do? Ultra-local predictions? ("Your backyard BBQ at 3PM will be sunny, but your neighbor’s patio will be windy") Eco-friendly tips? ("Water plants today — drought risk increases...

For example: Would you want the app to feel more fun or even have a personality? Would you prefer faster voice updates instead of reading charts? Would it be helpful to get forecast reminders tied to your special events or...
What’s the point of standalone weather apps when every phone already has a built-in one?
Hey everyone!👋 I’ve been doing some research on weather apps and I’ve been digging into what actually drives people to use other weather apps when they have already have the default ones. Some apps try to stand out by adding more forecast data like pollen index, or even add personality (like snarky captions) or cute designs. I’m curious — what actually makes a weather app worth switching to? As...
How do you recruit early adopters for your applications?
Hey Product Hunt community! 👋 I’m working on a free app in its early MVP stage and looking for effective ways to recruit early adopters/testers to provide feedback and help shape the product. Let’s exchange ideas!
