Connect with the Product Hunt community

We teamed up with Vercel and we want you shipping this Friday.
May 15 is Vercel Day. Launch your product on Product Hunt that day and you're on the official Vercel Day leaderboard alongside every other builder going live that day. Top launches win prizes and get serious visibility from a crowd that's already paying attention.
This is the move if you've been waiting for a reason to launch. You've got four days.

We launched Shadow lat week and the response blew us away. Thank you to everyone who upvoted, commented, and shared. #2 Product of the Day means a lot to a small team building in public.

For those just discovering us: Shadow sits on your calls and gets the post-call work done while you're still talking. No extra time, no context switching, you hang up and the work is already in progress.

1. I've always been on the personal brand side. More and more founders are building it now (sometimes even before the product is ready while it's still in development, before seed fundraising). The CEO builds their position so the product sells more easily at the official launch.

2. But I have experience with people who built the product, scaled it, and only then did we discover who was behind it.

Honestly, with the first approach, I'd be concerned that people invest more in me as a person than in the product. People would idealise the founder and overlook the product's flaws (which could hurt development and constructive feedback).

+ I noticed the most common mistake that many people who started building a personal brand first, connected their product to their personal accounts (emails, social media, etc.) and started having a problem selling these things, because they cannot "give someone keys" to their personal profiles.

We've teamed up with @Y Combinator or to give builders one more chance.

Launch on Product Hunt this Friday, tag your post "YC application" @gustaf will personally review the top launches. One or more will walk away with a YC interview, even though the official deadline has passed.

I'll go first,
During the launch of @Bitgrain , I thought maybe some 10 20 people might upvote or it can be even lesser, Surprisingly it got featured and the numbers went up crazy! I got mails from people who loved the product. It was unexpected but loved it!
btw do see @Bitgrain : )

I will go first.

"Just launch. The market will tell you what it wants."

A senior founder told me that. He meant it as encouragement. Do not overthink. Ship. Learn from real users.

Hey Product Hunt

It's been 10 months since we launched Mindly here, and a lot has changed.

We've been heads-down building, listening to your feedback, and shipping, and today I'm excited to share what Mindly looks like now after a lot of changes:

What's new in this update:

AI is incredibly good, I d even say almost perfect.

And for many people, that uniformity of perfect templates is starting to feel annoying.

Hey everyone,

Quick update from the build journey: we just shipped video export.

The idea came directly from our users. A lot of them were creating

great carousels for LinkedIn, then manually recreating the same

We thought we were ready.

Bigger deals. Fewer customers. Better margins. That was the dream.

So we built enterprise features. SSO. Advanced permissions. Audit logs. A whole new pricing tier starting at $2,000/month.

We spent 6 months. Three engineers. One dedicated product manager. Endless meetings about "enterprise readiness."

I'll be honest I've never liked the feeling that someone "owns" me.

So being employed was very distant to me. [As if I had no power over my income.]

Added a few new features:

Spotlight
Auto zoom + cursor tracking (can also be controlled manually)

We re trying something new on Thursday: Alpha Day.

The idea is simple. If this is the first time you re launching your product anywhere, you can tag it alpha and get a boost to your points (and land on a special leaderboard).

Terminal or editor-first UI? How do you prefer to work with AI coding agents?

A lot of makers come out with bold claims about their idea: THE NEXT BIG THING.

In most cases, surprisingly, it s not even the next small thing. People simply don t notice it.

You (and your agent) can now build on bunny.net with a single command-line tool.
This first release ships with full Bunny Database support:
Create and manage databases interactively or with flags
Link a directory to a database so commands just work
Drop into an interactive SQL shell
Spin up a local read-only table viewer with bunny db studio
Manage tokens, replicas, and more without touching the dashboard
There's also a raw, authenticated HTTP client for our entire API.
Edge Scripting, Storage, and Magic Containers support is coming next.
The CLI is currently in public preview. It's open-source and we want to build it with the community: we'd love your feedback, bug reports, and pull requests.

A lot of teams already manage work inside Gmail and Google Workspace. Customer conversations happen in email threads, follow-ups come out of meetings, and project coordination lives across tasks and boards throughout the day.

Keeping CRM records and project workflows aligned with all of that activity still takes a surprising amount of manual updating afterward.

Most product teams track acquisition, activation, retention. The usual funnel. We track all of that at Murror too.

But there's one metric we started paying attention to that changed how we think about growth entirely: how often users talk about themselves differently after using the product.

We just hit #3 Product of the Day with Graphbit PRFlow.

Genuinely didn't expect this on day one. Thank you to everyone who tried PRFlow, left a comment, or just took a minute to check it out. Every single one of you made this happen.

We read every comment today and we're not stopping. Back to building.

What are the factors that leads to pricing your product at the perfect place? Market demand, competitor pricing? or anything else? Which factors matter the most.

I like working (a lot of working), but sometimes I struggle with my time.
Understand that I am not able to manage/fit everything that I wanted to do in my schedule.

So I had to "re-organise" some activities and was able to learn something or make myself productive.

The problem at MindPal was pretty simple: we have hundreds of AI templates to share. We know videos of these templates work - some have gotten us tens of thousands of views. But actually making them was a total nightmare.
We tried everything. At one point, we even hired a freelancer, but the feedback loop was exhausting. It actually took longer to give feedback and wait for revisions than it did to just make the video ourselves. It was slow, expensive, and impossible to scale.
When we did it ourselves, it was a massive grind:
Record the screen of the behind-the-scene agent builder
Record a demo of the agent working
Write a script that didn't sound like a robot
Record a voiceover or an avatar
Spend hours editing everything together
If my co-founder or I were tired or busy, the videos just didn't happen. I assumed this was just the "manual tax" you had to pay for quality.
Last weekend, I got fed up and asked Claude if I could just automate the whole damn thing.
Turns out, I can.
So I spent the weekend cooking something - an internal AI SOP to turn any workflow URL (yes, from just a single URL) into a publish-ready use case video that passes all quality standards in ONE GO.
Here is the new setup:
Playwright: Records the screen and even moves the mouse like a human
@Claude by Anthropic: Writes the narrative based on our actual product info
@HeyGen: Creates the avatar and voiceover
@Remotion: Programs the entire edit - syncing everything into a final file
@Zernio + @Railway: Automatically publishes the video and saves the assets.
Now, I just give the system a URL and a finished video comes out. I don't even have to click "upload."
I just wrote a post sharing the full behind-the-scenes build, the architecture, and the logic behind of this AI video agent. Check it out here if you think this could be helpful for your company: https://mindpal.space/article/ai...

P/s: This is what I wake up to every day now

Every day, after launching, makers are contacted on LinkedIn and X by people offering to sell votes. As the Product Hunt team, we are very much aware of this and really hate it. We have systems in place to neutralize this type of gaming. Every vote counts for a different number of points on Product Hunt. A couple examples:

• An account with a recently created gmail address and no history of quality contributions on Product Hunt: this vote will count for 0 points. Yes, this might be a well intentioned user, but we take a conservative approach to protect the community. If the account has a company email or applies for verification on Product Hunt, that's a different story.

• An account with a company email address linked to a legitimate LinkedIn account with a history of meaningful contributions on Product Hunt: this vote carries significant weight.

A couple questions for the community:

• Are there specific accounts on Product Hunt that you suspect participate in vote selling? You can reply here or email report@producthunt.co

• What would you want to see us do differently here?

Hey there, Dan here, Founder of RankSpot

Yes, that is my actual reaction to winning Product of the Day

For us, it started from something frustrating: creating content felt very annoying and time-consuming. We tried the classic way: scripting, memorizing, filming, editing. But none of it felt authentic. And honestly, it was eating time we needed to focus on other things.

At the same time, we kept reading the same advice everywhere:
"founders should build in public and create content consistently". Easy to say but harder to do in reality. So instead of forcing ourselves to create content from scratch, we tried something simple: recording our own calls and using those moments as content.
