My passion pushes me to post my apps because most of my apps are public, and ProductHunt is one of the best communities to share these types of products. So I was excited to bring my latest creation to the community and receive valuable feedback.

I wasn't happy with the invoicing tool I was using as there was still a lot of manual intervention needed that is why I decided to develop my own tool and thought others could also benefit from it along with any other ways I could make it better.
Customer's feedback on the usability of the previous version of the product inspired me to come out with a disruptive community-led conversational apps building platform
Our journey started when our cofounder struggled a lot with finding his files and other important notes. He tried to fix it by creating bots, that automatically forward any files or information he wants to his telegram saved-messages. This is how Klu - your internal Google- was born! And we are launching Klu soon. If you’re interested, sign up for our waiting list ☺️🎊 https://klu.so

After doing a network packet analysis of my home network, I saw how my family's privacy was being violated by things like my smart TV, smart speakers, various apps, etc as well as how many security threats my home was exposed to. There isn't a simple, trustworthy, affordable solution to protect against privacy and cyber threats that addresses cybersecurity and privacy across every device in the home. So, we decided to build Kavalan to make it easy for even someone who is not tech savvy to be able to enjoy enterprise grade protection across every device.

Awesome to hear about your latest product launch on Product Hunt! It's great to see how the community has embraced and supported new and innovative products. I think launching on Product Hunt is a smart move, as it provides a platform to reach a large, engaged audience of early adopters and technology enthusiasts. The feedback and exposure you can gain from this community can be invaluable in shaping and improving your product. I also appreciate the focus on being part of a supportive and inclusive community of makers and entrepreneurs. Good luck with your launch, I can't wait to see how it grows and evolves over time.

I developed CowTransfer to address the challenges I faced while transferring files and sharing information with clients globally. Traditional tools were not effective as they were unfamiliar to many clients and lacked the simplicity of tools like WeTransfer. I started using CowTransfer for my own projects and soon discovered that it was not just me who was benefiting from it. By mid-2017, the tool had gained popularity, attracting over 3,000 monthly users, mostly in China. This inspired me to pursue CowTransfer full-time and leave my job. Today, CowTransfer is a leading file transfer and management solution, serving over 3 million users worldwide.

Although there are a lot of SAAS in the market, a lot of issues still cannot be solved by the existing saas! We started to build ILLA to solve that part. Everyone can build out a tool to make life easier without writing complex code!

We love getting constructive feedback. Our first launch on Product Hunt helped us shape our product to better meet our users' needs.

I had heard ton of good things about it, but honestly as I am using it more and more, all I see is spam! I have a question for you too, I see you recently launched Decktopus, I am about to launch on PH and wanted to ask people who have already done a launch: How did of these launch numbers actually reflected in customers? I know it depends heavily on the product but did those 207 upvotes for you actually bought 20 signups to your product?

I wanted to help as many UX Designers, marketers and researchers as possible, and the community on Product Hunt is fantastic. If my product helps one person, I would be delighted.

I'm a fan of AI tools, and there are so many that it requires us to have between 4-5 tool subscriptions from different platforms. I am in the process of developing a platform bringing together various AI tools in one place to avoid multiple subscriptions.

Honestly, I've been launching and responding to comments. This year I'm going to try to be part of the discussion to see if it has a stronger impact on future launches

I wanted to spread the word of open source and Product Hunt seems like the place. My landing page for my latest product is a github link!

Haven't launched yet, planing to do so in next quarter

Great question. In the last few years, I see a lot of opportunities and products launch, but in the same time, a lot of products don't "make it" to the market. I wanted to build a long-term solution for a long-term problem. Being a spreadsheets guru myself (for the last 10 years), I see the same challenges users face while working with Excel and Google sheets. That's why I build Ajelix AI Assistant - to help users find correct formulas and solve 90% of daily challenges in an easy and fun way.
