Connect with the Product Hunt community

This could be related to your industry, or even a side project you're working on.

Here are my 5 (I couldn't function without them):

1. Grammarly proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication

2. ChatGPT / Claude mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising

3. Figma I can put the basic graphics together quickly.

4. Translator sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue

5. Gmail and not only for communication, but also for storing ideas and sending myself email reminders for posts

Because building products has become much more accessible thanks to AI, the bar has had to rise a bit, or at least the expectations have become stricter.

I built my own tool, but personally, I wouldn t launch it on Product Hunt yet because it s still very basic and doesn t even have a website.

Our Product Hunt launch has officially ended, and YourSitee finished as the #3 Product of the Day.

We started the day with 9 followers and ended it with more than 300. But honestly, the most valuable part was not the ranking. It was reading your feedback, answering your questions, seeing the pages you created, and hearing what would actually make YourSitee better.

At some point, almost every founder faces the same question.
Keep growing with your own revenue...
or raise capital and move faster.
Bootstrapping gives you:
full control
sustainable growth
freedom to build on your terms
Funding can give you:
speed
bigger opportunities
the ability to build a stronger team sooner
Neither path is easy.
Neither guarantees success.
What path are you choosing, and why?

Two months ago I asked here how people stay aware of what their agents are doing, and @getosmo replied with something that has been quietly rearranging my roadmap since.

I had been treating "can you undo it" as the line for when an agent should stop and ask. He took that apart. Irreversibility over-fires and under-fires, he said. It over-fires on things that cannot be undone but that nobody cares about, like the agent writing a log line. It under-fires on the ones that really hurt: a mass email to 50k users, or a migration you can only roll back after downtime. "Reversible on paper, ruinous in practice."

octoscope 0.27.0 the integrity scan stops describing a repo and starts noticing things about it.

Before this release the supply-chain scan could only talk in the present tense: here is what auto-executes right now, here is a commit tip that looks forged. Useful if you happen to scan while the implant is sitting there. Useless for the two questions you actually have when a worm is circulating did something change, and what could whoever got in reach?

In the month that I've been here, I've been noticing a pattern in a lot of launches - strong demos, polished UI, clear outputs of "what it does."

But when I ask myself "What problem does this solve?" I sometimes have to dig for the answer. (I come by that thinking honestly - I've spent 33 years building and fixing businesses, so this is the lens I can't turn off.)

Most people use Product Hunt primarily for launching their product, which is completely understandable and a basic thing. That's what the platform is best known for.

BUT I think Product Hunt offers far more opportunities than just launch day. If you approach it strategically, it can become an ongoing marketing channel rather than a one-day event.

The gap most auto-fix tools have

They tell you the bug is fixed. They don't show you. Our rule has always been: make the bug happen on real code, apply the fix, show it stops happening. The gap was we could only do that for bugs we'd scripted in advance. Anything unusual and the honest answer was "found it, fixed it, can't prove this one."

What we built

We taught FetchSandbox to write the reproduction itself, no pre-scripted test required.

We always think we'll take Saturday off...

Then we remember:

users don't stop using the product
ideas don't stop coming
launches don't wait
neither do bugs

Curious how everyone else handles it.

I've always struggled with promoting my own work. It always felt a little awkward because I grew up in an environment where drawing attention to yourself wasn't really encouraged.

That's not exactly ideal when you're trying to build a business, and even less so when marketing is literally how you make a living. :D

I probably spend more than 10 hours a day at my computer and I know it s not ideal. It is actually bad.

It has quite a few negative effects on our eyes, posture, stress levels, and overall well-being.

When you're a first-time founder/maker, and you're the only person using your own product, you probably overlook important things. That's why you need to test the product with as many people as possible.

The problem is that time is limited. You have to decide not only how many people will test it, but also who those people should be.

Besides making sure your discussion follows the community guidelines, you can approach Product Hunt discussions more strategically and use them to increase your visibility for your personal brand and your product.

A lot of people struggle with their discussions being rejected.
This usually happens to accounts that don t have much interaction history yet.

If I wanted to become more active in Product Hunt discussions, I would try the following:

The models got dramatically smarter this year. Your product didn't get more trustworthy and in 2026, those turned out to be two completely different problems.

Here's the line that reframed it for me. Stanford's AI Index this year leans on a phrase from Ethan Mollick the "jagged frontier" to describe how these systems excel and then fall off a cliff with no warning. Their example is almost too good: an AI model can win a gold medal at the International Math Olympiad and still not reliably tell time from a clock face. Genius and incompetence living in the same box, and no obvious seam between them.

Hey everyone,

First of all, a huge thank you to this amazing community. Your support, curiosity, and willingness to try new things mean the world to us, and we're genuinely grateful to have you along on this journey.

Summer months bring vacations, travel, more time spent outdoors, and less time for online or work-related activities.

Because of this, it s easy to forget to check Product Hunt and lose your streak.

Are you totally against sharing your personal data to companies? or are you neutral and think your info doesn't matter that much? Not just words from dictation apps, but other personal details like schedules from a productivity app, or computer details from coding agents. Asking this cause I personally don't mind my app data being sent to companies, as long as they're not passwords, or important personal info. But this brings us to another question, where is the line?

I really like seeing how many enthusiastic male founders are here, but sometimes I find myself looking for more female founders and their stories.

I ve personally faced some of the stereotypes around this that women are usually more cautious, don t take as many risks (including business risks), and that the ideal path is to have a stable job and follow a more traditional way.

Everyone perceives entrepreneurship completely differently, and the weight of certain challenges varies from case to case. You always see things differently depending on the stage of life and business you're in, because your position is different each time.

• When I was a teenager my biggest problem was "What will people think of me when I will start doing this?"

• In my early twenties my biggest problem was "What if I can't figure out accounting, taxes, legal stuff?"

• Now I have a different problem how do I scale something?

You can either restart the app manually, or the auto-updater will do the job for you in a few hours :)
(FYI: The auto-updater polls every 6 hours, and it has been made opt-in)
The Changelog is as follows:

Please note: I have hot-fixed the app to version 2.1.1 after I noticed it did not receive Fable context windows properly. It should work properly now.
Reason: Fable's context is set to a default of 1 million by Anthropic, so it does not report any context window data. Tablo does not find a context field for fable's session and falls back to the default value of 200k.

Whenever I launched something in the past, hardly anyone knew about it. Looking back, it was mostly because I was afraid to talk about what I was building.

Fortunately, I've grown out of that. These days I talk about my product much more (maybe even more than I should ), and it's made a huge difference in getting it noticed.

I wanted to share a few things that worked surprisingly well for my Chrome extension (a LinkedIn activity tracker that alerts you before you hit LinkedIn's limits and trigger account restrictions).

Over the past few months, we have been building Causo around two problems almost every early-stage founder runs into:

1. Finding the right investors and reaching out to them properly

2. Finding potential customers with a real reason to buy

Our fundraising product helps founders discover relevant VC funds and partners, research them, and run personalized outreach.

Our sales product finds companies that match a specific ICP, identifies why they may be a good fit right now, finds the right people, and drafts personalized outreach.

Half a feature in, agent taps out on usage, and now you're staring at code you didn't fully read yourself. Do you wait for the reset, switch to a different model, or just finish it by hand? Curious how people handle getting cut off mid-flow, not at a clean stopping point.

For the past 3 months, I ve been building a LinkedIn extension that tracks activity and helps users avoid getting restricted or flagged by LinkedIn by quantifying their actions over time.

It s based on a problem I ve experienced myself, and (as bad as this might sound) I m hoping I m not the only one who has this problem.
