What’s the point of “build in public” if nobody’s watching?
Everywhere I look, people say “build in public” to grow your product and audience. Sounds great… except when you’re starting from zero and literally nobody cares yet. From what I’ve figured out, it’s less about getting likes right now and more about leaving a trail, progress updates, decisions you’ve made, even mistakes. Most of it will get ignored in the moment, but it builds a record that...

Why are simple online tools so bloated these days?

What’s a tiny tool or hack you use every day that most people don’t know about?
I’m talking about that weird shortcut, underrated browser extension, a script you wrote once and now can’t live without… No matter how small or niche, share it 👇 I’m genuinely curious, and I bet a lot of us will end up discovering something super useful today.
🛠️ Makers, how do you actually know when it’s ready to launch?
I’ve been in the “almost done” zone for a while now, that weird spot between polishing features, fixing edge cases, and suddenly rethinking the UI at 2AM. I’ve got the Launching Soon badge on my profile now, and I’m both hyped and slightly terrified. So I’m asking the community: • How do you decide it’s ready to ship? • Do you wait for perfect or launch fast and iterate? • What gave you the...
Want to break something before it launches? 😅 Help test Copyber!
Hey folks! 👋 I’m close to finishing the first version of Copyber, a desktop clipboard manager I’ve been building to solve a very real problem: 📋 losing useful stuff you copied just 30 seconds ago. It’s desktop-only for now (Windows/macOS and Linux coming soon), and the core basics are in place: • Clipboard history • Fast search • Clean, responsive UI • Local storage (no account required) That’s...
Everyone’s building with AI but is anyone actually using it daily?
Feels like every other product launch now has some kind of AI baked in summarizing, generating, guessing what we want before we want it. I’m building with it too, and it’s impressive… but I keep wondering how often users really come back for it. So here’s the question: Are you actually using AI features in the tools you rely on daily? Or do they feel more like a cool extra than a core habit?...
I almost skipped building desktop apps... until I realized this
Most of the hype lately is around AI, web tools, and mobile-first everything. But I keep noticing a growing number of small, focused desktop apps especially for productivity, dev tools and utilities. Maybe it's just the niche I'm in, but people seem more open to native tools again. Performance, offline access, cleaner UX, better keyboard support stuff that's still hard to replicate in a...
Desktop apps - stores or direct downloads?
If you’re launching a desktop app (Windows, macOS, or Linux), how do you prefer to distribute it? Some devs publish to official app stores like Microsoft Store, Mac App Store, or Snap/Flatpak. Others skip that entirely and just provide executable downloads directly from their website. Each route has pros and cons: App stores can build trust, offer updates, and sometimes bring in new users. But...
Have you ever built something small and then realized it could be much bigger?
I recently started a small project, something I thought I could finish over a weekend just to fix an annoying part of my workflow. But a few days in, it hit me: the thing I was building wasn’t just solving a small problem... it was opening up a whole new way to work. What started as a utility tool is now turning into something a lot more ambitious. And honestly? Kinda intimidating. 😅 So I’m...
What’s one thing you wish you’d started doing way earlier in your career?
You know those habits, tools, or mindset shifts that seem obvious after the fact… but took you years to adopt? For me, it was writing things down not for documentation, but just to free up my short-term memory and think clearer. Total game changer. So I’m curious, what’s something you wish you’d started doing earlier? And as always, following folks who drop underrated gems 😉
Started building simple app and accidentally uncovered something bigger
Like a lot of devs, I started this project just trying to scratch my own itch. I couldn’t find a clipboard manager that looked good, worked reliably, and most importantly synced across devices. Nothing quite fit, especially bouncing between Windows and macOS daily. So I started building one. But the deeper I got, the more I realized something: the clipboard is kind of this invisible layer of...
