I'm Shun, the maker of Ownfeed.

We launched here today, and I want to use this thread to learn from you, not to pitch.

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?

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.

First, thank you More of you signed up, tried Ownfeed, and wrote to me yesterday than I expected.
Some of you hit a bug within minutes, told me, and came back after I fixed it. I don't take that for granted.

Here's the honest part: I tested every flow, many times, before launch.
Then real users arrived, and in the first hour something broke that had never broken in testing.
A few hours later, a second thing. Both fixed the same night.

What stings isn't the bug. It's that I felt ready, and the thing that broke was the plain part I had stopped looking at, not the hard part I worried about.

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

The original idea behind GenPage was simple: if you ve taken the time to write a relevant sales email, the page someone clicks through to find your offer should feel relevant too.

So we made it easier to create a dedicated page for each prospect. Something that helps them see how your product or service fits their business.

Working with customers, we saw the same problem across their campaigns.

Someone clicks an ad for CRM for real estate agents and lands on a homepage that talks to everyone. The ad did its job. Now the visitor has to figure out the connection themselves.

We borrowed a GPU. Now we're experimenting with borrowing the Internet.

Kanverse started with a simple question:

What if computing resources didn't have to belong to the device using them?

We've already been experimenting with borrowing remote GPU capability.

Yesterday, OpenBot launched on Product Hunt and finished as the #2 Product of the Day with 350 upvotes.
Honestly, we didn t know what to expect. Seeing so many people support OpenBot, test the product, ask questions, and share honest feedback meant a lot to our entire team.
Thank you to everyone who:
- upvoted and commented,
- shared our launch,
- downloaded and tested OpenBot,
- reported bugs,
- or told us what we should build next.

The ranking is exciting, but the most valuable part was seeing that other people share our vision: AI should move beyond isolated chats toward teams of specialized agents that can work together.
We re now going through every comment and piece of feedback from the launch. Some of it has already influenced what we want to improve next.
This launch was not the finish line. It was the beginning of the next stage for OpenBot.
Thank you again for making this launch special. We re just getting started.
- Kamil and the OpenBot team

WP Bones 3.1 is out your generators, your templates

Your stubs come first. Every make:* command reads the stubs/ folder of your plugin before the framework's, and tells you when it does.

Hey Product Hunt! Michael here from ZeroClick.

We've added Jev-powered Seller Agents to our Agent Storefronts to help AI agents buy from your business faster, with fewer tokens spent figuring out how.

Introducing hn.watch (powered by Explain )

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...

A customer with ~50 active Swift, Rust and Node projects on a 256GB Mac told me the archive feature was useless for him. His projects aren't old, they're just huge.

So 1.15.0 adds Project Artifacts: DevCleaner now finds target/, .build/ and node_modules inside projects you're actively working on, shows the size per project, and lets you clean just the regenerable output. Your source never gets touched.

Also new:

• Auto Clean (opt-in) that keeps build output in check on a schedule

• Archive now moves to Trash instead of deleting

• Fixed the excluded-folder dialog

• An explanation for why free space sometimes lags after a clean (Time Machine local snapshots)

WP Bones is back on Product Hunt: 33 releases since the first launch

On August 5, 2024 WP Bones launched here at 1.5.5: a framework that brings Laravel's habits to WordPress plugins. Two years and 33 releases later (1.6.0 3.0.0), here's what's new

Secure by default (3.0)

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?

Do you want Tipword to stop translating words in languages you already know?

Example: you know English. You want help with German and French words, but not English ones.

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.

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

I maintain Termexo. This update is about a small interaction with a useful consequence: ask one coding agent to send work to another terminal, then read back the result.

AI-assisted capability diagram, not a screenshot.

I recently built a small PDF editor with AI for myself. That got me wondering about another use for these small apps.

Has anyone here built a free tool specifically to help people discover their main product?

I m getting Inquir Compute ready to launch. It s a platform for running apps, databases and background jobs, and it s where I host the editor. Alongside sharing what I m building here, I m looking at other ways to reach developers.

A small tool for the same audience sounds worth trying. But I don t know how often that turns into customers, rather than a second app you now have to maintain.

Everyone has one. "Keep it short." "No emojis, ever." "My dog's name is Biscuit, stop calling him Buddy." The thing you've typed so many times you could say it in your sleep.

Here's the game:

1. Drop yours in the comments, exactly how you'd say it.

The difference between a tool an agent chooses to call and a step that runs every time is the difference between a suggestion and a guarantee.

Microsoft's Copilot Studio documentation now describes a preview feature called hooks. The definition is plain: a hook runs one of your workflows automatically when something happens in your agent, and you use it "when you need something to happen every time, rather than only when the agent decides it's relevant."

Version 1.2 is live and now you can use all .wsz skins that you remember from back in the day! Enjoy!
