Connect with the Product Hunt community

Hi everyone!

I'm super excited to share our new visual launch editor. It's built to make launching on Product Hunt a lot easier.

Hi everyone!

We teamed up with @GoogleCloud for a Cloud Run Hackathon October 14th!

To kick things off, we're celebrating on the leaderboard so you can meet the people behind Cloud Run.

For us, RunEvr is the environment where we actually build RunEvr =)

For me, that s one of the most beautiful parts of having a product - using it while continuing to build and improve it.

We do our everyday calls there, share ideas, chat, store files, do reviews, complete tasks

And all of this is happening inside the same environment we re building to help other teams do exactly that!
Kind of a mirror within a mirror =D

Most of us now use 2 4 AI tools, and every one of them starts from zero. We put together an honest comparison of the 5 common ways to build an AI second brain :

1. Markdown files: free and portable, but lots of copy-paste

2. Local files (CLAUDE.md, rules files): best for coding agents

3. ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini Projects: easiest if you use one assistant

4. Drive / GitHub connectors: good for large archives

5. A portable memory layer over MCP, which is what we build with AI Context Flow

Projects is enough if you only use one assistant. Whereas a memory layer helps iwhen you switch between models, share context with a team, or run workflows (n8n, agent teams) that need to read and write the same memory.

I m building Aura at Neural, and this moment genuinely excited me.

I asked: Aura, explain Raspberry Pi to me in 3D.

She created an interactive model directly over my screen and explained the compute module and carrier board. I could rotate it, zoom in, and keep exploring through conversation.

This is the experience we re working toward: ask about something you re looking at, and get an explanation you can actually interact with.

i'm alim, one of the makers of agentmash. we launched today and i keep going back and forth on one design call.

in august two of our agents collided on payments code. fixing prod OAuth took 10 hours. worktrees keep agents out of each other's folders, not each other's code.

New to Enclave? This one's for you.

Comment "HERE" and I'll DM you a code for 50% off: Enclave Pro for just $2.50 (normally $5), one time, yours forever.

What is Enclave?
It turns your Mac's notch into a command center: music with live lyrics, your next meeting, files, widgets, and live updates from AI coding agents like Claude Code, all one hover away.

My LinkedIn inbox is half spam these days. Pitches right after connecting, fake "quick question" messages, AI written compliments about my profile.

But I still reply to some strangers. Usually when they mention something real I posted or just ask a normal human question without selling right away.

I'm curious where your line is?

What makes you reply to a DM from someone you don't know? And what makes you ignore it instantly?

• Screen recording: record the whole screen, one window or an area you drag, with the Mac's sound and your microphone. A red dot and timer sit in the notch, and the Stop button stays out of the video

• Keyboard cleaning: pauses the keyboard (and trackpad, if you like) for up to 2 minutes while you wipe it

• Night Shift and True Tone switches, plus brightness control for external monitors (beta)

• Text expansion: type a keyword like ;sig in any app and it becomes your saved snippet

• Sticky notes that float above your windows on every desktop

• New widgets: Files (recent files and search), Drives with Eject, Bluetooth with one-tap connect, and Printer

• A pop-up when a drive connects and when it's safe to unplug, and printing progress in the notch

• Merge PDFs on the Shelf, Quit All Apps, and hot corners

Enclave turns your Mac's notch into a command center for your day: music, meetings, files, widgets, and live updates from your AI coding agents, all one hover away (or press N).

New in 1.0.7

• Quick Access: a command palette that searches and opens anything, Quick Capture for notes and to-dos, and a menu bar tray that hides extra icons

• Profiles: notch layouts that switch by Focus, app or time of day

• Automations: mute, pause or run a Shortcut when a meeting starts, a call comes in, the battery runs low or an agent finishes

• New widgets: Recap, Agent Spend (daily and weekly AI budgets) and Branch & Build (your repo and its latest GitHub build)

• Focus Timer pauses music and quiets pop-ups while you work, and Weather has a new Pulse style

Our latest milestone in exchanging capabilities between devices.

We hit an exciting mini-milestone today Dots just crossed 50 downloads/day, and I wanted to share a quick update with the community while gathering feedback.

For context: Dots is a native macOS utility designed to turn the Mac notch into an active interaction space housing floating tools, scrolling screenshots, picture-in-picture video loops, file converters, and custom pixel companions.

Two quick takeaways from early user feedback:

1. Frictionless access matters: Users really appreciate accessing quick actions directly from the top center screen without navigating cluttered menu bars.

2. Utility + Personality works: Adding small customizable visual elements transformed a standard utility app into something users genuinely enjoy using.

Not the dramatic stuff that gets blocked. The quiet things you only notice an hour or a week later

Mine was two agent sessions working in the same repo. One of them went to clean up its own background process by matching the name and killed the other session's run too. No error anywhere. I just found a half finished job later and had to figure out why

Making a product is one big challenge. But shifting your mindset from building to marketing it might be an even bigger one.
As makers, we spend so much time improving the product. Then comes the question: How do we get people to discover it - and ultimately turn that attention into real customers and sales?
I'm not sure traditional approaches like email marketing and constantly posting on social media are enough anymore. The way people discover products is changing.
So I'm curious:

How do you approach marketing your product?
And for the marketers here:
What would you consider a modern marketing approach in 2026-2027? What would you advise an early-stage founder to focus on?
I'd love to hear different perspectives...

If you use a desktop per task or full-screen apps on each monitor, locking the Mac can leave them on the wrong screen. It happens because each monitor owns its desktops, and when one sleeps and disconnects macOS moves its desktops elsewhere and doesn't always put them back. The write-up covers how to check your Mission Control settings from Terminal, what helps most, and the part no app can fix since macOS 14.5.

If you've found a Spaces setup that survives sleep, I'd like to hear it.

Quick poll for founders (and anyone who tests out new SaaS tools): do you ask for a credit card upfront, or let people straight in?

We went with requiring a card for k dlo. The thinking was pretty simple: fewer signups overall, but higher intent people actually kick the tires instead of bouncing after two minutes. Without a card, you get a flood of accounts that log in once and ghost.

But I m genuinely torn here. A card wall definitely kills casual curiosity, especially when you're an unknown product. On the flip side, no-card trials often just give you vanity metrics that don't convert.

Two quick questions:

Claude renamed its plans on October 30. Max 20x is now Ultra and Max 5x is now Max. Ultra has no 5-hour limit any more, only the weekly one, so the ring on my bar went empty. In 0.3.33 the ring follows your weekly limit when there's no 5-hour one, and Plan limits shows just the weekly bar.

Let your voice agent actually do things, like check an order or save a lead

A voice agent that can only talk is not enough. Customers want results: "Where is my order?" "Update my address."

Thank you, community members for making us #1 in the PH launch in July 2026.

Our new version is currently live on product hunt. Please take a look and support us with your upvotes, comments and please also try out the product.

Something I started to understand better is that fortune might be the result of the steps we take.

From a young age, I always believed I had some kind of fortune - passing exams, getting license or verified somewhere... Somehow, things worked out for me =D

But getting older and, hopefully, wiser, I started looking at it from another perspective.

I think that fortune comes from the steps we took earlier.

I've been spending more time exploring what other indie developers and founders are building, and honestly, some of the most interesting products I've found aren't the ones getting thousands of upvotes.

I'll start!

We're building Dots, a macOS app that turns your Mac's notch into a customizable workspace. Instead of just music controls and notifications, you can bring in your own apps, websites, shortcuts, and even developer tools.

I opened our invoices this morning... and closed them right away hehe

Claude Max for the whole team, the API on top for our agents, a few other tools here and there...

hey PH Ola here, founder of Specsight, launching today

I ve been building Specsight solo since March, with no employees. just me and a team of AI agents. they handle outreach, call prep, fundraising research (they screened 3,000+ VC firms for me), content, support and a lot of the dev work

In every community, we naturally find people we love to communicate with, interact with, or simply follow.

From my very first day on Product Hunt, some people became little lighthouses for me here.

The moment I signed up, I noticed @busmark_w_nika and her threads. She became one of those people I always enjoy following here.

Then came @amraniyasser and @bengeekly .
And that was only my first day =D
