... Then, about a year and a half later, I opened my own company. It has already been 22 years since then, and I still run the company myself. So my conclusion is: it was about having enough money set aside to get me through the low seasons, rather than reaching a certain level of profit. Comment from Yash Panpaliya(@yashpanpaliya): Runway matters more to me than one good month. I d want steady revenue and about a year of expenses ...

... easy to let client commitments swallow your calendar whole. Because client work brings immediate revenue internal products usually take a backseat whenever a deadline gets tight. I've tested setting aside specific days or taking on fewer clients but unexpected client requests usually ruin the system within a few weeks. Balancing direct service income with long-term software development needs a far more realistic routine. Have you successfully managed to split your week between client tasks and your ...

... ones you never open. Window: same for the tabs, cards and sections. It all happens on one Layout page in Settings. You see your menu bar, dropdown and window there, and you drag the pieces. The others step aside as you move one, and the app updates right away. My own setup ended up as battery and temperature in the menu bar, and nothing else. I didn't expect to go that small. If you use a menu bar monitor ...

... seen products become confusing and bloated because they keep AI in places where a simple algorithm would have worked better. How do you stay disciplined. Focused on your original vision? Do you actively ignore industry hype. Do you set aside a small portion of your time to test new tech trends just in case they truly benefit your users ...

... work, no posts, no ideas, no inspiration, nothing... =D Just me, solving my own puzzle ! It made me wonder: Do personal problems affect your work too? Do you have any hacks for putting your personal headaches aside somehow and still staying focused and productive? Or do you just accept that sometimes your brain is busy with something else and let it be? The funniest part was getting a full DM with people asking ,, where are you on Product Hunt?,, Honestly ...

... weeks refactoring I ship zero updates to users. If I keep building new features the whole app will eventually break. For those running solo projects long term how do you balance refactoring with building new features. Do you set aside specific days for tech debt or just fix things as you go?

... break top 5. Thursday needs 235. That's a 70-point gap just from picking a different day. Weekends aren't just easier, they're way less crowded Tuesday averages 30.4 launches a day. Saturday averages 10.7. Fewer competitors, lower bar, most of the effect comes from volume, not some algorithm quirk. If you can't launch on a weekend, Friday is your best bet 205 median points for top 5, the lowest of any weekday and noticeably easier than ... ... Thursday.

After all, my goal is entirely to focus on the user and put revenue aside, i really want people to love the game of trading, because i really like it aswell and i would love to see others make their families and themselves proud ...

... beers while people demo. The plan is to repeat it every month or so, so I care more about getting the format right than about this one edition. Two things I keep going back and forth on: Individual vs teams. Individual means everyone ships something and nobody hides. Teams mean more ambitious projects but a worse experience for whoever gets the bad group. I've landed on individual for a one-day format, but I'm not sure. Curated vs

... view of it. They interfere and on the previous version they brought each other down within a minute. So 0.16.5: Netfox refuses to run twice. Open it again and the copy already running comes forward; the new one steps aside before touching your data. My favourite detail: deciding which copy stays is where the obvious answer is wrong. If each copy defers to the other one it can see, two copies launched together both politely quit and you're left ...

In the near future AI agents will be able to work with the structured data already stored in your XWiki workspace. Background aside, I'd like your thoughts on 3 things: What would you do to maximize adoption? (tutorials, video demos, webinars, resources for specific AI tools?) What's one use case you'd love to see this extension solve? (auto ...

... just a local-model problem. Current Anthropic models reason by default, so the wrong label showed up on the default provider too. Both streaming clients report reasoning now. The recap counter no longer freezes at "reading 20/20". It steps aside for "Thinking " the moment the mail is actually read, instead of staring at you until the answer lands. The loading hint no longer beats the thinking one by a single frame. A flicker so brief it was almost a rumour ...

... weeks of preparation. Building relationships, identifying the right people, becoming visible in the community, preparing the assets, and creating a real outreach network. It is very difficult to do properly from one day to the next. On the men versus women point: I think there may be another distinction behind what Nika is observing. There are many women on Product Hunt and many women who are part of product teams, but very few women who independently launch new products week ... ... there in the first hour, not a drive-by upvote. Useful timing, too: we're live with Ctruh Studio right now, so all of this is unpleasantly fresh rather than remembered. I'll write up what actually worked versus

... clean and clear, making it simple for patients to read the product descriptions. No Complex Frameworks: The template uses clean Bootstrap 5 and vanilla JavaScript, which kept our hosting costs low and avoided complex build steps. Great Mobile Responsiveness: Aside from the z-index issue, the mobile grid and search layout scale well on small screens. The Cons: Header Z-Index Conflict: The sticky header ran into minor overlapping issues on older iOS browsers during scroll, though this was easily ...

... management and developer stress, I have a quick question for the room: Why did the developer break up with NoSQL? ...Because they just couldn't handle a relationship without strings attached, and their parents said it lacked structure! Jokes aside, I have zero audience right now, so I'm trying to network and meet other builders early ...

... what the actual job entails. Developers have noticed. Only 12% of developers use LinkedIn as their main source of technical information, according to a Stack Overflow survey. Most are on the platform purely because they feel they have no alternative, not because they find it genuinely useful. The Fake Everything Problem LinkedIn has a trust problem that is getting dramatically worse, not better. In the second half of 2024, LinkedIn identified and removed 80.6 million fake accounts at the point ... ... connections who followed you for other reasons, the algorithm punishes you further.

... Hunt. Its been an ongoing journey of growth and learnings building my first web3 venture Skate (fka Range Protocol) and quite an enriching one. Our execution may not have been perfect but still taking jibes at the vision. Currently aside from Skate, I am learning and iterating on a product, BeTheCEO focused around agentic orchestration and Almond Quantum Research , an effort to showcase demonstratable quantum advantage. This is the most enterpreneurial community i have found so wanted to pen down ...

... hard. It s the switching. Marketing slips because you re closing a deal. Follow-ups slip because you re fixing ops. Nothing gets your full brain. So here s the question I keep chewing on: money aside, if you could hand exactly one of those off tomorrow, which one goes first, and why that one? I ll go first, and specifically: for me it s follow-ups . Not because they re hard, but because they re time-sensitive ...

... native startup shipping fast with augmented coding, but the debt it creates is different from anything I've seen before. I remember in my old team we put aside around ~20% of engineering time to pay down debt that accumulated during feature releases. We're deliberately using AI to go deeper, our test-coverage is through the roof but there are still things that slip through the cracks and they are hard to catch. At times parts of our codebase ... ... feel like a city where every building is fine on its own but nobody really planned the streets and too many windows are custom-built.

Comment from Mustafa Arian(@thenameisarian): What you're building TAM Network. the alternative to LinkedIn for everyone who builds and serves. coders, plumbers, nurses, designers. instead of titles and endorsements you publish receipts of work that customers and peers countersign. recruiters filter by 'who actually did this' instead of 'who has been ... ... scroll through it like a feed.

... customers. For inspiration. For validation. That should bother us. Not because we should hate the US. But because Europe should not be dependent on others for every major technological layer of the future. Our leaders need to put ego aside, admit where we are behind, and act with urgency. The talent is here. The ambition is here. The question is whether the system around us is willing to move fast enough. I m still optimistic. But optimism without execution ...
