Connect with the Product Hunt community

Introducing hn.watch (powered by Explain )

For solo makers, wearing every hat is almost unavoidable - developer, marketer, support, product and often designer too.

AI makes this even easier now. You can generate UI pretty quickly, but a lot of products end up relying on consistent, polished AI-generated solutions rather than something truly unique or thoughtfully designed for their specific product.

So I m curious:

Do you design the UI/UX yourself when building solo?

rhun 0.17.6 is out!

• Find in files now opens instantly.

• Git command tooltips, per-file actions in untracked folders, and live updates.

• Open projects in separate windows, with cleaner active tabs.

• Plus terminal and Windows installer fixes.

• Multiple UI/UX fixes from the community input (v.0.17.5)

I maintain Termexo, an MIT-licensed Windows workbench for coding agents. Version 0.10.10 adds 19 local MCP tools for terminals, tasks and selected settings.

New Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok Build and Antigravity terminals launched in Termexo can automatically load the connection after you enable and apply MCP settings. Existing agent processes need to restart, and the desktop must stay open.

A practical first trial: ask termexo-desktop to list workspaces, with no terminal input or settings changes. Then read a test terminal you choose and create a draft task with acceptance criteria you can inspect.

The server starts disabled and listens only on loopback. Terminal, task and settings permissions are separate; settings access needs enabling. The stdio bridge reads the current credential for each request rather than putting the token in generated configuration.

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

After a lot of work significantly overhauling our web extension, I m excited to announce that we ve just released Magic Lasso Adblock v5.6, which makes it easier than ever to customize ad blocking directly in Safari.

The key feature of this release is a new Magic Lasso Adblock web extension.

I believe that cloud providers should make hard spending caps the default: when you hit your limit, everything stops, rather than you getting a warning email you only see after the damage.

The reason is simple: coding agents can now ship code that burns through paid APIs while you sleep.

Building projects requires collaboration.

Share your models directly from Autonomyware.

Something pretty important changed in AIRUNCODE.

The model is becoming interchangeable.

Claude, GPT, other providers, an API endpoint, Chinese models, or a model running locally on your own machine can now operate inside the same environment and get access to the same AIRUNCODE tools.

That means you don't need a frontier model burning expensive tokens for every stupid little step of a workflow.

I have 165 day streak today and ~1.3K followers on Product Hunt...

Something I couldn t really brag about just 5 months ago =D

And I m trying to understand deeper - what is this day streak? What does it give? And why do we keep it?

The first thing I guess is consistency.

We launched DocsAlot MCP on Product Hunt and finished the day in the top 5.

A few things stood out to me from working on it.

First, momentum really matters. The rankings move around a lot, so being active throughout the day makes a big difference.

Building a team or want to join a startup?

Founders, teams, and startups drop a comment if you're hiring.

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...

Most AI editors edit first. Aperture shows the plan and the exact lines first, then checks the change before you keep it.

I ve been shipping in public since launch (Background Composer is live). Not hiring full-time looking for collaborators, advisors, and people building their own tools who want fewer wasted tokens and real control.

If that sounds like you: reply BUILD or DM.

Made a demo for Tipword and honestly it feels too perfect lol

What do you think?

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?

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:

Road to 1,000,000 @Votap users - Day 98 | Current: 1578

A couple of my recent posts led to good conversations. Now I m trying to figure out what gets someone from reading about a product to actually trying it.

For those who ve launched something: where did your first users come from? Were they following what you were building, or did you find them somewhere completely different?

I m getting Inquir Compute ready to launch. It s a platform for running apps, databases and background jobs. I ve been sharing what I m working on here, but I m still figuring out how to reach the people who might use it.

Share your product and one specific thing you did that brought in users.

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

Hi makers,

Most wearables are good at telling when you're asleep. They're much worse at telling when you're awake: if you lie still, many devices count it as sleep. Sleep stages land somewhere in between. And Apple, Oura, Garmin, Whoop and Fitbit all build their scores differently, so the same night can get very different numbers.

Anna D. Zych, PhD, a neuroscientist and Health Science Lead at Momentum, goes through all of this in a webinar that premieres Wednesday, 7 October at 16:00 CET. It covers what good sleep actually looks like, how wearables compare to a sleep lab across ten devices, and how to approach building sleep scoring models.

If you're building anything with sleep or recovery data, it should be a useful hour. Everyone who signs up gets the recording too.

When I m scrolling through a list of products, the first thing that catches my eye is usually the logo.

Only then I look at the tagline, and after that, the description.

For us, it s a very simple infinity sign, but it actually says almost everything we want our brand to say.

We ran a Lovable checkout app through FetchSandbox. Six checks passed. Two stayed not checked.

We delayed an email response, but the webhook still returned success. We hadn't shown it recovering after a failed callback. So the overall run stayed incomplete.

That's the thing I want us to get right as we build this. Did the test cause the failure, or did the app just succeed? Same question for a background job that might crash halfway through.

What evidence do you ask for before trusting a recovery test?

For me, I finish the tasks I didn t complete during the week, then try to get ahead on a few things.

And I always finish my weekend by preparing my tasks for the next week.

I know some founders completely disconnect on weekends, but I ve never really managed to do that

What about you? Do you work on weekends or completely switch off?

On 2 October Apple said it will make granting Full Disk Access on macOS require more explicit user action, and it named AI agents as the reason. If you let agents touch your files, that's a prompt to audit what you've already handed over.

On 2 October Apple posted a short developer news item titled "Updates to Full Disk Access in macOS." It says Apple will add controls that require more explicit user action when Full Disk Access is granted, because some developers misuse it to reach sensitive data such as files, mail, messages and browsing history without the user fully understanding. The sentence I keep coming back to is this one: "As AI agents become increasingly capable and autonomous, the risks associated with this level of access will grow substantially."
