While on a walk yesterday, I wanted to learn about the Spain/Portugal blackout. Hacker News had a great thread on the blackout. I used ElevenReader (amazing product by @ElevenLabs) to listen to the thread. Overall, it worked great, but:

• The reader treated new comments as just new paragraphs. So I had no idea when the reader transitioned between comments/responses. Usernames of commenters were not mentioned.

• Urls were read out fully. This is brutal.

• It would be awesome to skip to next comment with a voice command.

Any product recommendations for this? Or maybe @ElevenLabs is already thinking about this?

@mikekerzhner just told me about the trick where you put Document.designMode = 'on' in console, then you can edit text on a page like a doc. It would be cool to do more types of edits for design feedback, like actually moving elements around. Does anyone know of a Chrome extension that lets you do this with websites?

Yesterday, I came across an article on TechCrunch that OpenAI is upgrading ChatGPT search with shopping features.

Slowly but surely, ChatGPT is taking over Google's role and doing it well. I ve noticed it myself, especially how it s replaced much of my browsing.

We're releasing many of our most-requested features this month, and I'd love your input on what you want to see next and what we can be doing better!

Let me know in the

When I first started in marketing, I used to wait for the perfect moment.

The perfect design.

The perfect words.

The perfect timing.

This is how to use Product Hunt effectively! Smart!

Like many here, I'm constantly experimenting with AI tools in my workflow. They're incredible for generating ideas, drafting content, coding snippets, etc. the efficiency gains are undeniable.

But I've been thinking about the deeper integration. Beyond using AI for specific outputs, how is it really changing your core process for creating something significant or achieving substantial growth?

Here is what the Free tier is going to have now:

• More premium credits: We are bringing all premium models to the Free plan with the full agentic experience. Instead of just 5 premium prompt credits a month, a user will get 25. With GPT-4.1 and o4-mini still on a discounted 0.25 credit rate, this corresponds to 100 such prompts every month.

• Unlimited full agent: We are also going to give unlimited Cascade Base model usage in Write mode to our Free users. Previously, unlimited Cascade Base was available, but not with the full agentic experience.

• Unlimited Fast Tab: Free users will now have unlimited fast Tab completions, the highest performing Tab experience that was previously available only to paying users. This is the full Tab experience - autocomplete, supercomplete, tab-to-jump, tab-to-import, and more.

• Previews and Deploys: Unlimited Previews and one Deploy a day.

I have been building, learning, searching, investing for the last 6 years, back to back, non-stop. I feel I have officially reached burnout. One week I am super into building and I code new things like crazy. And the next I just want to chill and go surfing lol. Do you go through a similar phase? How do you deal with the constant change of emotions?

Hey PH community

I m curious how much time have you personally spent trying to come up with a business idea, without actually starting anything?

I m building a product and realizing that traffic customers.

It s easy to get eyes on a landing page, but turning that into users, signups, or purchases feels like a completely different skillset one I m still learning.

Lately, I ve been reflecting on how AI s training on the past shapes what it creates and how that might be shaping us, too.

It feels worth questioning because:

AI thrives on patterns,
It s built to remix what already exists,
New ideas now often start with a prompt, not a blank slate,
And we re all starting to think in templates.

I wonder:
What does original even mean when everything is built on everything else?

I was recently talking with a group of founders, and we went around sharing tools we're using now. Posting my notes for our community here - would love to know what else people are using!

Lately, I ve been reflecting on the quiet fear that, as AI tools become better at creating art, writing, and design, creativity itself might lose its meaning.

It feels like a valid concern because:

• AI can produce beautiful art and music faster than a human ever could,

• Many creative fields are shifting from original creation to "curating" or "editing" AI outputs,

• Instant generation often replaces slow, imperfect human exploration,

• Younger generations are growing up with AI co-creation as the norm, not the exception.

I wonder:
Will true creativity still matter when "good enough" is instantly available?

AI is growing faster than ever, and honestly, it feels like we re riding a giant wave of creativity and innovation!
From generative art to powerful language models, automation at work, and AI-powered healthcare breakthroughs it s amazing how much is happening.
But here s the cool part: different things spark excitement for different people. Maybe it s a tool that made a tough job easier. Maybe it s a crazy new concept that opened your mind to fresh possibilities. Maybe it s just that "OMG" feeling you get when you see AI pull off something wild (like my Auntie, who literally gasped the first time she saw ChatGPT could calculate calories of her plates! ).

I'd love to hear what s making you most excited about AI right now! Big or small moments, drop them below and let's discuss together.

Is it crazy to use Windsurf and Cursor both together?

• drag tabs between both IDEs

• use the same workspace

• use all the AI models

There seems to be no moat for AI IDEs, for me it's not a problem though! I've recently been convinced to give Windsurf another go, but keeping Cursor open too like that:

There s so much happening on Product Hunt every day! It s hard to keep track of everything, let alone try them all.

That s why I wanted to ask, what products have you discovered here that you re now using daily and have really made a big impact in your life or work?

Personally, I was laid off a year ago and currently bottoming out on savings. Every day is not guaranteed, quite literally, at this point. Yet, I keep my head down and continue building out a product relentlessly that I, quite frankly, have no idea how it will turn out.
Many of us took this leap of faith and are under strenuous circumstances, especially in the current market. If you're in similar positions, just know that everything will work out! Fortune favors the bold.
We're in this together! I would love to hear your stories.

Getting featured on Product Hunt is huge, but the hustle for those crucial first users continues looooong after launch day.

Aside from the direct PH traffic, what's been the most unexpectedly effective channel, tactic, or community that helped you acquire your first ~100 users or customers?

In a way, every time you buy something through Product Hunt, you're putting hope into that maker or company and, in a sense, you're investing in them.

At the same time, I feel that many makers here are also looking for investors. But not everyone is a VC.

A few days ago, I listened to a Czech video cast where the idea was that in a few years, the teaching position will lose its relevance.

This seems like a quite realistic prognosis to me, because:

• The teaching position is not particularly valued,

• AI knows more information than a teacher,

• AI does not sharply confront the user, which encourages people to ask questions and think critically (this can sometimes not be said about the school system)

• More and more young people prefer to communicate with Chatgpt than with an "educational authority"

Finding the right cofounder is hard and it s even harder to know where to start. This thread is for anyone who s either:

Looking for a cofounder to join your project or company
Looking to join a startup as a cofounder, early builder, or technical lead

Drop a comment with what you re looking for, and make it easy for others to reach out.

I noticed some software engineers are still getting $300,000 roles and many are just being kicked out of companies or not looked at when applying for their roles and working to get things done. How rough is the job market now for professional roles in some sense with the use of AI taking everything over or are the roles still there but just being turned into a manner where AI is being needed to stay competitive and in the roles at all? What is the future outlook really like?

Yesterday, I came across this visualisation of skills required for AI-related positions on Instagram.

To be honest, it feels a bit outdated to me because AI can now handle most tasks quite well: writing texts, generating images, coding, and, to some extent, even creating videos.

Today, traditional engineering interviews often revolve around DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms).
And while DSA tests analytical rigor, it also wires thinking into strict, logical frames.

Creativity lives outside those frames.
Problem-solving and creating experiences are two entirely different games.
And sometimes, forcing a purely analytical mindset can quietly erode creative instincts the very instincts vibe coders thrive on.

Which raises a bigger question:

Is the future of technology moving into the hands of more imaginative, creative builders rather than traditional analytical problem-solvers?
