... product. Meanwhile, my "here's what Starnus does" posts? Way less engagement. This genuinely messed with my head. I'm sharing the actual X post below What I think happened: People connected with me as a person first, got curious, checked my profile, found Starnus, and signed up. The algorithm rewards content people actually want to engage with, not content you want them to engage with. The uncomfortable truth for founders: Your best marketing post might have nothing ... ... debugging CSS selectors that broke after a site update. Got more engagement than any feature announcement. The pattern I have noticed: share the problem you solved, not the solution you built. People connect with the struggle first, then get curious

... everyone, Kane here. Launching Nativeline 2.0 on Saturday. The short version: you can now build native apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac with AI. Before we go live, I'm curious: What's an app you've wanted to build but gave up on because the platform felt too hard? Especially interested in Mac and iPad ideas. Those seem to be the ones people abandon most, too much complexity. Drop your ideas below. See you Saturday ...

... started experimenting with fun / caricature-style creatives And we leaned fully into one rule of marketing: Ads are about attention. Not features. Not explanations. Just something that makes you stop scrolling. Once people stop, then they re curious. Once they re curious

... thank you so much for your proactive approach. We ended up 6th on that day, and I hugely appreciate that because the competition was strong and the week was pretty busy. Thank you so much, guys! Just out of curiosity: Do you try your best to position yourself after the launch day as well?

I m also part of a few WhatsApp Product Hunt communities, and you can see how coordinated some of this activity is. It definitely makes you wonder how much of the leaderboard is organic momentum versus

... just about covering costs it's about perceived value and control. if users feel like they're being "metered" on every interaction, engagement drops. but if they have a generous base allowance + transparent overages, they're way more comfortable. curious what others have found does anyone have data on conversion rates between pure SaaS vs

... Over the past few days, you may have noticed a new account on Product Hunt called "Curious Kitty" commenting on some launch posts. It was created on 20th December 2025. First observation: it behaves like a bot. It only asks questions (no opinions, no praise, no criticism) and those comments get visually highlighted, similar to how awarded comments stand out on Reddit. (screenshot attached) Comment screenshot from Blinq launch post today! The account has a couple followers including ... ... team members, which makes it feel less random and more like an internal quiet experiment. @mikekerzhner @rajsb_ The questions are actually good. They re structured, product-aware and often push founders to explain positioning, use cases or differentiation. Curious

... about 2 months ago, and ever since receiving my first compliments and comments on our recent product launch, I ve truly felt how nice and supportive people here are. Everyone seems open to discussion, willing to help, and genuinely curious about what others are building.

... Many products start as experiments built at night or on weekends. At first, there s no pressure just curiosity and momentum. But at some point, expectations creep in: users, revenue goals, support, roadmap decisions. That s usually when it starts to feel more like a responsibility than a hobby. How do you personally decide when a side project deserves serious commitment or when it s better to keep it lightweight and experimental? Comment from Alex Cloudstar(@alexcloudstar): @yung_ruwala ... ... deserves full attention. Comment from Alex Cloudstar(@alexcloudstar): @dushyant_khinchi  This is such a clean way to frame it.

... teacher) and the creator of Scheda. For a long time, I felt that most social networks are great for entertainment, but not for learning. There s a lot of noise, very little depth, and almost no space for real curiosity. So I decided to build Scheda a social network focused on knowledge, culture, and learning. Scheda is built around knowledge cards: short, meaningful pieces of content designed to explain ideas, spark curiosity

... Genuinely curious about how people approach this! When you make tutorial videos, product demos, or walkthrough recordings; what's your workflow for adding narration? Do you: - Record audio while screen recording (and just deal with the "umms")? - Record screen first, then add voiceover separately? - Use AI voices? If so, how do you sync them? - Write scripts first or improvise? - Use any specific tools that make this easier? I've been building in this space and realized everyone has wildly different ...

In many Asian cultures, these aren't just "fortune telling" they are treated as strategic tools for business decisions, hiring, or choosing a launch date.

... Comment from Stella Samuel(@stella_samuel): Love how fast the vibe-coding space is moving. My current stack is ChatGPT for system thinking + Cursor for daily coding + v0 for quick UI passes.

... share a few things I ve been seeing going deep into Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) for @Meet-Ting . I spend a lot of my day in GPT and Gemini, and over the last few months I started getting more curious about how their recommendations are actually pulled from the web.

... Comment from Onis Ortuno(@onis_ortuno): @sheraz_abdul_hayee  I appreciate your response. That makes a lot of sense. Getting the message across clearly can be tricky when founders are juggling too many roles at once.

Comment from Manu Goel(@manu_goel2): Perfecting each video takes a lot of time! I think what would give ...
