... True Fans" by Kevin Kelly. The idea that you don't need millions of followers to build a sustainable creative career completely shifted how I think about building audiences. It is also one of the core ideas behind Copus helping people build real, engaged communities around the content they care about. What is yours? And what did it change for you? Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): I cannot say it is an article or a single book ...

... Thought experiment: if you had to delete all your bookmarks and could only keep 10, which ones would survive? I think the answer reveals a lot about what we actually value vs what we mindlessly save. Most of us have hundreds or thousands of saved links we will never revisit. The ones that would make my cut: - 2-3 reference articles I genuinely go back to regularly - A couple of tools I use weekly - Maybe 1-2 essays that changed ... ... fernando_gabriel_leon_molina): Eh probably it would just be Spotify and Gmail haha Really what I want is the RSS fedd to come back!!! Comment from Handuo(@handuo): @lyngeist  That's amazing. Please also save them on Copus

... developer. My "co-founder" is AI. It wrote 90% of the code. Although it was expensive, I used OpenClaw + Codex + Opus. The hardest part wasn't the tech it was staying focused on what actually matters to users vs. what I thought mattered and looked cool lol Happy to hop on a call! Comment from Rise-n-Shine Software(@risenshine): I'm building lightPDF , a high-performance, minimalist document viewer for the desktop. The main goal is to create ... ... fast, lightweight, and privacy-respecting alternative

... this playing in the background hanging out with friends. I've also sent it to friends around the word and they are doing the same thing. Comment from mina(@minach): This clicked for me ,especially the tradeoff between big vs small products. I've been building a productivity/automation tool and hadn't thought about shoutouts as a distribution layer beyond launch day. The founder review mechanic is underrated. It's essentially evergreen content tied to a product page that compounds ... ... into LLM discovery - didn't realize founder reviews get structured that way. We're building on Claude and Vercel so those are genuine shoutouts we'd make anyway. The tip about smaller products where your review can stand out vs

... matter in tech. When you build tools that millions of people rely on daily, the decisions you make about ethics aren't abstract they directly shape what's possible. As builders ourselves, we think a lot about this at Copus. We chose to build a platform where creators own their content and curation is transparent. Not because it was the easiest path, but because we saw what happens when platforms optimize purely for engagement without guardrails. The companies that take ...

... Product Hunt signed up just to support us, which helped us gain early traction. Comment from Priyanka Gosai(@priyanka_gosai1): @sergey_kargopolov  Glad i could help! Comment from Handuo(@handuo): Right there with you we're launching Copus tomorrow and feeling the exact same mix of excitement and nerves.

We spent weeks genuinely commenting on other launches, joining forum discussions, and building real ... ... signing up to your waitlist. 3. Your job on launch day is to be present and human: respond to every single comment, answer questions, show gratitude. Treat it like a conversation not a campaign. On your question about strategy vs

... weeks and honestly I m really happy with it, as long as it stays in copilot mode (I review everything before it ships). I ve leaned on it heavily for a new side project I m building ( BenchCanvas ): market + competitor research, branding notes, SEO ideas, PRDs, and even markdown instruction docs to run in Cursor. It s also been great as a second pair of eyes on the landing design and copy. So for me the trust line ... ... stays human-controlled for me. Convenience isn t worth that risk. Comment from nim(@sup_nim): honestly i think the trust issue comes down to scope. i trust ai way more when its doing one specific thing really well vs

... prompted app a week later on Windsurf (now Devin) i was amazed to find i'd created a working digital version of the traditional Hangman game literally in an evening. I was flabbergasted. I tried to create an alternative using Cursor but it just didn't feel as compelling as the original Windsurf version. By trial & error i used the Windsurf editor Cascade as well as Chat GPT, Deepseek & Gemini to create code snippets & also altering code ... ... forward hopefully that day isn t too far away :) Comment from fzero17(@fzero17): My first vibecoded project was OpenFolder a macOS menu bar app that turns your desktop into a calm personal launchpad. I built it using GitHub Copilot + VS
