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.

Two brands can offer similar products, target the same audience, and have equally strong websites, yet one consistently appears in AI-generated recommendations while the other barely gets mentioned.

We've been exploring how factors beyond a brand's own website, including third-party mentions, reviews, comparisons, and category authority, influence these recommendations.

Everyone building anything emotional with AI reaches for the emotion recognition article. The sentence that is more likely to apply to you is in Article 50(1), and it has applied since 2 August.

When I went looking at what the EU AI Act asks of an app like Murror, I assumed the provision about emotions was the one aimed at us. It isn't, quite, and the one that is aimed at us is simpler and already live.

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

A user uploads a file, starts an export, and closes the tab. The work may still be running, but when they come back, they need to know what happened.

I am building Inquir Compute for apps, databases and background jobs. I am interested in the part users see, beyond whether the job itself succeeds.

I just walked out of the gym, and I feel ready to move mountains! =D

For a while, I gave up exercising. And yesterday, the bell rang when my teammate asked the whole team: When was the last time you did some sport?

This will be a bit of a nostalgic memory moment.

I believe that most makers got into computers at an early age and worked in programs that may have already fallen into disrepair, but were crucial for their development and career direction.

Hey makers,

Ever had your fans kick in and no idea why? Today's update answers that from the notch.

Since launch, your bots and agents can check a change before they apply it.

Aperture is now an MCP server. Grok Bot, Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client can call check_change before it applies a change. It checks that the files parse, the imports resolve, and the TypeScript compiler finds no new errors, including in files the agent never opened. It also flags a change that skips or cuts short the tests. Nothing the agent sends is run or kept. Setup takes three steps at https://aperturesais.grok.me/agents

Aperture Agent Check runs the same checks on every pull request, as a CLI or a GitHub Action. Red lines get annotations right on the diff. If a failure was already there in the base branch, it shows as amber, not blamed on the PR. Your code never leaves the runner. Aperture's own PRs go through it.

Honest numbers: in the benchmark, the editor catches 27 of 33 bad edits, with 1 false alarm in 15 good ones. check_change stops 20 of the 33 without running anything. The other 7 only show up when tests run, so keep running them. Every miss is listed at https://aperturesais.grok.me/ben...

I joined Product Hunt in September, so it has been a little over a month. I was looking for a place to be active when launching products in English-speaking markets, and while I knew the name, I had never actually used it.

I have bought over 200 products on AppSumo, and some of them showed their Product Hunt ranking. That's how I knew of it.

For the past month I've been watching the products that launch here and the people who are active in the forums. From what I can see, there are a few ways to make a launch go well:

Hi everyone,

UX HeatGrid 2.0 launches on Product Hunt today. It is a Chrome extension that opens in the side panel and shows you any page from two angles: what its structure makes stand out, and how it is actually used.

Predict

What do you think about support - or have you even thought about it? =D

Do you think every product must have some kind of support?

Should it be a bot?
A human?
Email?
An AI agent?
Or all together?

In our case, with a complex workspace, I think working support is definitely a must.

It s Saturday, and most of us continue working anyway...

When I m doing very intellectual tasks, I just put on my headphones - without any music - and concentrate on my thoughts.

But when I need some inspiration, or I m doing some repetitive work, there s always music in my ears.

Every activity has its own type of music for me:

Hey

Currently working on the iPad version of WMail. What would you like to see in the iPad app that you use all the time in other mail apps or that you wish an iPad mail app had?

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 plan to grow your startup into a big business, the path can look something like:

You build - launches - get users - join an accelerator - raise money - find investors - hire people - build a team - grow the company...

And at some point, I wonder:

Are you still the maker who builds the product?

We're almost there for the #1 and this is the final sprint!

If Onepin looks useful to you, a vote in the next hour counts the most.

I m not really a person who likes sharing my everyday life online =)
That s one of the reasons I m really happy to be part of the Product Hunt community.

I like being able to stay in touch with like-minded people and have everyday conversations about things we re building, learning, and interested in.
But I understand that social media is a big part of today s lifestyle, and it s absolutely great that it gives people a way to connect, share, and find each other.

So, I m curious:

Do you have social media as a maker?

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

Hey all, spent today chasing a bug where Tipword would sometimes just do nothing when you hover a word. Some of you probably hit it. It was random and hard to catch, but I think I got it.

What s fixed:

• Chrome: words inside scrollable areas (like Gmail or chat apps) didn t translate at all. They do now

• Chrome: sometimes it translated the first word of the line instead of the word under your pointer. Fixed

• Buttons and labels with more than one word now translate the word you re actually pointing at, not the whole label

• The language picker closed by itself right after a fresh launch. It stays open now

biggest upgrade since launch. until now your AI could only read about the videos on refs, now it sees them

new

frame sheets: a real frame for every shot in all 3,138 videos, plus hook sheets of the first 3 seconds

Hi everyone,

Thank you again for the support on launch day. Ghostifier finished #9 with 111 upvotes, and I m still reading every comment.

I just set up an Instagram account, @ghostifier_app, to share what we re learning as we build:

We got Featured by Product Hunt, stood as the #1 Product of the Day with our first ever launch with ReSO AI until the last half an hour where we slightly fell short.

We ended as the 2nd Product of The Day & the Top Product of the Weekend along with being featured on their Newsletter!

Hey all,

What tools are you using for competitor research across conferences (event marketing), paid, influencers, AI SEO, social and content?

Confession time. MCP was one of the last things we shipped before this launch, almost a last minute decision. And honestly, I now think it s the most valuable part of k dlo.

Here s why. Ever since we started showing k dlo to people, we kept getting the same question. Why would I use this if I already have Claude Cowork / ChatGPT / my own agent? Fair question. We tried to answer it by explaining the architecture, the shared memory, how all the agents work from the same context. People nodded, but it didn t really land. Nobody gets excited about architecture diagrams

With MCP, they don t have to. You just plug k dlo into the tool you already use and feel the difference right away.

People already sell with their own AI every day. What they re missing is the context. k dlo keeps everything about your leads in one place, so it doesn t matter if you work in Claude, ChatGPT or a coding agent. That context goes with you, and the selling you already do just gets bigger. On top of that, k dlo gives you what a chat window can t, a real place to list your leads, sort them into campaigns and work on docs and everything else a deal needs.
