QA.tech 1.0 - 24 hours on Product Hunt

@QA.tech first launched on Product Hunt in 2024. On October 8, 2025, they announced 1.0.

Here's a recap of how it went, hour by hour. 

A write-up from our CEO: simplifying SOC 2, GDPR & HIPAA audits

Audits like SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA often feel endless gathering evidence, aligning policies, and proving compliance across teams.

In this new piece, our CEO @stelios_sotiriadis breaks down the real pain points behind audit chaos and how we ve been rethinking the process at Warestack making compliance a natural outcome of good engineering practices rather than a fire-drill at the end.

[New Feature] Detect Similar Content Before Submitting to Adobe Stock

I just added a new feature to SendStock AI:
Similar Content Detection

Before submitting your batch to stock platforms like Adobe Stock, you can now automatically detect:

  • High Risk: potential duplicates

  • Medium Risk: visually or thematically similar content

  • Low Risk: safe and unique media

  • Clusters: groups of similar files in your upload

This helps contributors avoid rejections, reduce redundant content, and improve submission quality before uploading anything.
I recorded a short demo video to show how it works:

I'm open to feedback if you test it or have ideas to improve it.

The AI Founder Rollercoaster: Fun If You Like Fear

A four-hour flight with no Wi-Fi gave me the perfect excuse to reflect - and write about what life as an AI founder actually feels like. (It s also a decent cure for plane boredom)

TL;DR: Some days I can t imagine doing anything else. Other days I wonder what I m doing.

🎉 We just launched Usage-Based Billing at Atlas!

Hey Product Hunt fam!

We just shipped something we've been super excited about at Atlas - Usage-Based Billing is now live!

✨ Introducing: AI-powered search engine

Hey PH!
We ve been building something new, an AI-powered search engine for DIY & home improvement, built from scratch. The idea is simple: help you quickly find the right tutorials, guides, and answers without all the clutter.

Kind of like Perplexity, but for makers

  • Ask any DIY questions

  • Get quick, reliable results from trusted sources

  • Follow up to dig deeper or refine answers

Is October the best month to launch on Product Hunt?

By tradition, every first day of the month I open hunted.space and scroll back through previous years. Today, I checked October 2024 and what I saw was fascinating.

Unlike September 2024 (which was crazy strong in 2024: six products over 1000 upvotes, 6 more than 900 upvotes and more than ten over 800), October looked very different.

Only one single product passed 1000 upvotes: bolt.new (with exactly 1003) which has been performing brilliantly and organized the largest online hackathon a few months ago.

Understanding social media algorithms to get more advantage + agency (longer read)

In a break from the usual building updates for @Meet-Ting, I ve been trying to find the time to write this piece up as I care about it a lot. It feels important - and timely - and valuable for the PH community.

Two weeks ago I saw Yuval Noah Harari at the Barbican. I love his work, and as I ve got older I ve become more learn from history.

Stripe, TikToks, and Slack Locking Us Out 🫠 - Honest interview

@cerwindcharlie and I recently did an interview for the Stripe Developers channel (500k+ subs!) and shared stories we ve never talked about before on Pretty Prompt:

  • Behind the scenes on the Techstack of Pretty Prompt

  • Sometimes the aha moment isn t a dashboard it s TikTok videos

  • Growth can literally get you kicked out of Slack

I didn't know you can get locked out of your Slack workspace if you hit a rate limit on the amount of notifications... (We hit the limit because too many users were signing up!)

GraphBit- an AI frameworks that scale, not collapse

Most frameworks shine in demos.

But when you put them under real workloads they burn CPU, leak memory, crash agents, and cost huge amount of dollar in electricity.

Poll: Best IDE in 2025?

According to the 2025 @Stack Overflow Developer Survey (49,000+ participants), @VS Code and @Visual Studio remain the most used dev environments, despite the rise of subscription-based, AI-enabled code editors @Cursor and @Windsurf among others. Both maintain their top spots relying on extensions as optional, paid AI services like @Github Copilot and @Kilo Code.

Curious which IDE the Product Hunt community uses the most?

Drop out of school and start a startup or do business after graduation? (Possible solution)

3 days ago, I was wondering what the future of universities would be in this AI world (and education in general).

I didn't know that YCombinator was going to bring an alternative solution:

🚀 How to build momentum after Launch

Hey there, as you know I launched Rolyai almost 2 weeks ago. And maybe you read my article about the first 3 days. It actually popped off quite well, so thank you for reading

This Article will cover how to keep your momentum after launch as well as just getting some momentum rolling.

TopazLabs Moves to Subscription-Only - Your Thoughts as Creators?

Hey folks , recently, TopazLabs (well-known in the AI video/image enhancement space) announced they're shifting from lifetime licenses to subscriptions only. That's sparked a lot of chatter - some say subscriptions feel cheaper upfront, but many users feel it becomes more expensive long term, especially since canceling can be tricky and refunds are limited.

We're curious to hear what the Product Hunt community thinks about this shift:

As a user, do you prefer subscriptions or lifetime licenses? Do you see a difference between desktop apps vs. online/cloud apps? Why?

As an AI developer or maker, which pricing model makes you feel more confident investing in for the long term?

Subscription Day for iPhone

Hi everyone. Right now I m working on the iOS version of the app, which will be synced with the Desktop version to make managing your subscriptions even more mobile and convenient. I plan to launch it in two weeks, but if anyone wants early access to the Beta version, just let me know.

A recap of Shipper's last 2 months: Bundle of updates :)

When we started Shipper 55 days ago, it was basically a text box that spat out React code into a sandbox. No onboarding.

Since then, things moved fast. The first wave of feedback told us two things loud and clear: people wanted easier ways to get started, and they didn t want to lose their progress.
