... product. Bounce goes up. What I m starting to suspect is that the framing is wrong: maybe you pick a default side, design the whole page for them, and let the other side find their entry point further down. Airbnb doesn t ask if you re a host on the homepage. For anyone who s shipped a two-sided product did you solve this in the hero, in onboarding, or did you stop trying to solve it and just pick ...

... Product Hunt! I'm Johnny . I've spent my career on the employee applications & operations side of tech; recruiting technology and ops at Airbnb today, and before that Rivian, Block, Netflix, and Hot Topic (Fifteen-year-old me would have flipped knowing one day I would lead HR operations there!). The through-line in all of that is systems: making messy human processes legible and less painful. Which, it turns out, is also what I've been doing nights ...

ExploreYC : ~3,000 YC founders (and growing), deduped across every company they've started, ranked four ways: Most Funded Unicorn Founders Biggest Exits Serial Founders some of it's who you'd expect - the Collison brothers and the Airbnb crew up top. Some of it's a rabbit hole: the same names keep resurfacing across batches. Kyle Vogt (Twitch Cruise), Justin Kan, and Parker Conrad have each done YC more than once, and 160+ founders here are behind billion-dollar ... ... from vmonome(@taskrelayhq): This is a fun rabbit hole the repeat-founder pattern (Vogt, Kan, Conrad) is the interesting part, way more than the leaderboard itself. Would love to see it sliced by 'founders who've had one exit vs

... vibe-code your way to 3 billion WhatsApp users. You can't replicate a payment network by writing better software. The value is the network itself, the accumulated relationships, the flows of value between users. A simple example: Airbnb: you can rebuild the feature set with AI tools in weeks, but you cannot replicate the trust network between 4M+ hosts and hundreds of millions of guests built over 15 years. So I'm curious: Are you actively trying to build ... ... network effect or community moat around your product? Or do you think there are other defensible moats AI can't easily replicate?

... ones nobody notices. If people spend weeks debating the logo, the company probably changed the wrong thing. The strongest rebrands quietly change perception before they change visuals. Apple in the 90s didn t win because of a logo. Airbnb didn t win because of a symbol. The identity worked because the product story changed first. The worst rebrands are usually the opposite: a new logo trying to create a new reality. Comment from Surabhi Minocha(@surabhi_minocha): @busmark_w_nika ...

... Comment from Boris Glen(@borisglen): @blakeatvassant  Totally agree, my friend :) Comment from Boris Glen(@borisglen): Yes, product quality, marketing, market size, and everything else matters but only after you've found a strong pain. Most successful startups (Facebook, Airbnb, Stripe, DoorDash, Dropbox, and others) solved exactly that a strong pain of their users. Paul Graham himself confirms this through the success of his own accelerator, which ranks first in the world and more precisely, through the results ...

... Fortune piece from late last year had the CEOs of Apple, Airbnb, and PepsiCo all agreeing on something that surprised me: being at the top is one of the loneliest places to be. That resonated. But I think it starts way before you reach Fortune 500 CEO. It starts the moment you go all in on your own thing. There is this structural trap I keep seeing talked about. You can't really vent to your co-founder because they ...

For over 20 years, I worked around the world in brand consultancy for the world's largest clients, including Coca-Cola, HSBC, BMW, Bank of America, AT&T, Airbnb, and Vodafone. As a Creative Director, it was rewarding work, and I love it. But over time, one thing kept nagging at me. Every project started the same way: with a significant budget of $300K+, a long timeline (often over ...

... Product Hunt community, this is not a promotional breakdown. Instead, it is an analysis of the product logic, marketplace design, and what makes Studio Tonight interesting from a systems standpoint. At its core, Studio Tonight applies an Airbnb-style marketplace model to creative infrastructure. The Problem It Targets Creative industries face a structural inefficiency: Many artists lack affordable access to professional studios. Many studio owners operate below full capacity. Booking often happens through fragmented channels DMs, calls, spreadsheets. Availability transparency ...

... classic founder things... Read every Paul Graham essay. Listened to Masters of Scale . Obsessed over founder stories. There s always that moment in those stories. The magical customer call. The gold-dust that changes everything. The door-knocking moment (Airbnb). It is romantic. But, but. but. In reality? It s really, really hard. People are busy. Most outreach goes unanswered. You send thoughtful emails. You DM. You ask for just 15 minutes. silence But every now and then, someone replies ...

... Today I read in TechCrunch that Airbnb says a third of its customer support in the US and Canada is now handled by AI . Many CRM-focused platforms are following suit, automating support with their own AI bots for example, Crisp, Chatbase, and others. From a business perspective , it makes perfect sense: lower costs, faster responses, and fewer lost customers. From a customer perspective: I remember the situations where you just can t reach a real human ...

... funny how we re all obsessed with building the next big feature. But tools don t make things special. Stories do. Nike never sells you shoes. Airbnb sells belonging. @Loom turned a screen recorder into communication. Features get copied. Stories don t.

What matters is if people love your ... ... inside Lovable! And does a much better job to explain to the AI what you want!
