A while back we launched @Wordware and broke Product Hunt during our launch.

We're here to share bits of wisdom from our launch strategy, answer launch questions you may have, and even help point you in the right direction for the launch day!

I've been using @Spacemacs for a few years now. Recently, I started using @VS Code to "see what I was missing". I liked that linters and such seemed to work a bit smoother out of the box.
I kept hearing:

VSCode is dead, Cursor is the way.
Then I started hearing:

Windsurf is the way, Cursor is dead.
Today I used Windsurf for the full day. Some raw thoughts:
I like the icons!
Treating it like an "op autocomplete" was pretty powerful! It made refactoring and quick changes really really fast.
Asking it to make a bunch of changes doesn't flow well for me yet. I guess it's hard for me to grok the diffs quickly, and it just feels faster to be pushing code around myself. maybe this will change with experience.

When i wanted to "think hard" i found the autocomplete kind of annoying. i was trying to write some weird recursive code with bad variables names to quickly prototype. it would have been nice if I could say "chill out on the autocompletes until i finish this thought", maybe like a toggle somewhere? does this exist already?
the center pop up menu is cool.
how do i make the cascade drawer close from the keyboard? Cmd +B closes the left drawer -- something similar for "cascade" would be good to know.
overall, i enjoyed it. will use again tomorrow.

With the Producthunt launch, we also updated the starter content for new users.

A lot of the tags in the setup are using new Tana features in cool ways: #brainstorm lets you capture ideas and questions from voice on mobile, #daily prep lets you plan your day on the go, #article is built to go from voice->Tana publish in no time.

I've recently come across Clay, and it looks like a super interesting tool for managing relationships and staying on top of networking. I'm curious if anyone here has tried it out.

• How has it fit into your workflow?

• Does it really help with staying on top of connections?

• Any pros and cons you'd call out?

Would love to hear your experiences especially if you ve found unique ways to get the most out of it!

In yesterday's discussion by @aaronoleary, there were a few thoughts about using robots at home.

In this context, several questions occurred to me.

For example, what will happen to the future of humans if we delegate most of the manual and mental work to machines? How will we handle our free time? How will people be rewarded?

Is this the end of Browser Company of New York?

personal news: i joined anthropic last week to work on making claude ~the most useful little helper who lives in your computer~

plz say hi if you're here! i'll be in the nyc office

Hey everyone! I ve seen some people mention using Reddit groups to help launching their products, but I m a bit new to the platform. From what I ve noticed, many groups don t allow self-promotion or talking about your own business. I m curious, which subreddits do you participate in, and what s your strategy for engaging and launching your products there?

I d love to hear about your experiences and any tips for successfully navigating Reddit for product launches!

When @Raycast launched their recent notes feature, I downloaded it for the first time. I'd heard a ton of great things, but just hadn't ever tried it out before. Their notes feature was something I'd been looking for so it seemed like a good jumping on point.

So far, I feel like I'm vastly underutilizing it though. I kind of found the sheer amount of things you can do with it overwhelming, and I've mostly found myself just not using it. I love keyboard driven apps and shortcuts (I'll forever be a diehard @Neovim fan) so it seems like something I'd love and get a lot of use out of. I just haven't found a great set of shortcuts or uses yet.

ICYMI: 1x launched the NEO Gamma, a new generation of humanoid robots that are designed to help out with things at the home like doing the laundry, cleaning, putting up photos, etc. This is the kind of stuff I used to dream about as a kid but now as an adult I'm not sure if I want a robot walking around my house. Would you let one in and what do you think about home robots? Think they have a future or is it going to be a hype train before fizzling out?

Unlike other social media platforms, I perceive a lower level of "centralization of power" on Reddit (such as in the comparison of X Musk, IG, FB Zuckerberg, which are starting to become politically tinged).

I'm starting to see this place as a more reliable and balanced source of information, where discussions can be held at a high level, perhaps also due to sometimes stricter moderation.

Transform your reading into conversational podcasts in 32 languages. Now more affordable.

We're thrilled to announce our new suite of Economical Multilingual Voices. These voices deliver natural-sounding speech across a wide range of languages and regional variants, all while being much more affordable than our previous offerings.

Yesterday, Microsoft's Majorana 1 was launched here, a prototype of a quantum processor powered by topological qubits, a breakthrough that may enable quantum computers capable of solving real-world problems that are intractable with classical computers.

As @chrismessina and @terrence_kelleman mentioned, some scientists believe that quantum effects give rise to consciousness, including the mathematician, physicist and philosopher Roger Penrose (Nobel prize 2020).

@rrhoover 's comment on @kwindla 's "Happy Birthday, Photoshop" thread got me thinking:
"I wish Product Hunt was around longer so we had more nerdy, tech archeology to explore."
The products that made an impression on us, even if they didn't make it, often inspire the next generation of apps. Also, there's something interesting about a product that you resonated with and you thought should have been huge but didn't quite make it. It's an opportunity for reflection on maybe what was missing or how your values may differ from the world or how that product may have been a glimpse of the future and ahead of its time. I subscribe to the idea that most startup ideas will happen eventually, but timing matters. You need to see into the future, but if you see too far into the future, it may take a while for that to become reality.
For me, there are lots of contenders in the consumer social space. I really loved @Clubhouse, especially in the early days of the pandemic. I thought @Airchat had a fascinating interface (twitter...but audio?). I also thought the authenticity and light attention requirements of @BeReal. was compelling. But maybe my favorite more niche product is @Honk by Benji Taylor.
Honk was real-time messaging, one-on-one, without a log. You could see people typing in realtime. You could spam emojis, and your swarm of emojis would battle comically with your friend's swarm. It was silly, and beautifully designed, and a valiant effort at breaking through our cultural tendency to regress to boring async chat.
There's also something really cool about seeing somebody type in real time. It's like seeing them think! One magic moment is when you start typing and before you can finish the idea, the other person's understood the idea and is responding. It's a funny feeling.
Plus their Twitter account was genius. It would often just tweet "Honk"
What's your favorite social app that doesn't exist anymore? What did you take away from it?
@rrhoover I'm guessing you have too many to count. @bernatfortet @kwindla @gabe

@rajiv_ayyangar and I have talked a lot about what applications, devices, and codebases have most influenced our thinking and careers. Photoshop is high on that list for me.
For many years it was the most reliable application I used regularly, bar none. In a world where we just expected the Windows blue screen and the little Mac unhappy icon to happen regularly, Photoshop never crashed. Even though both its feature set complexity and working data set size were much larger than most other apps of the time.
Photoshop was also truly cross platform. It worked the same way on Windows and Mac. This is hard!
It had a plugin system. Indie developers built great extensions for Photoshop.
And it had a credits screen that you saw every time the app loaded, with the names of all the programmers who worked on it!
