... built a business that gets worse as your product gets better. The industry's answer this year is outcome-based pricing: don't charge for access, charge for the result. The cleanest live example is Intercom's Fin, the customer-support agent that charges $0.99 per resolution you pay when it actually closes a ticket, not for a login. It's a genuinely elegant model, and if your product produces a discrete, countable, agreed-upon result, you should look hard ...

... everyone. Raffay here. Building Finly AI: voice/text expense entry, receipt & PDF import, and spending insights that are actually useful instead of another spreadsheet with extra steps. Background's more backend/infra than finance, so the funny part is the AI side was the easy build. The trust and security work that comes with touching people's money data has eaten way more of my time than expected. No big manifesto, just building and trying to get it right before ...

... even come up with a solution. And then test everything on real customers, not in your own head. Comment from Raffay Sajjad(@raffay_sajjad): The email signup one got me. Had a decent list built up before finly's first version even worked properly and read it as validation. Actual activation once people could get in was way lower than the signup number implied. Signups measure curiosity, not whether someone's willing to change what app they open every morning ...

... everyone! I'm Fin, the solo developer behind Wallset. I've always liked the custom Rofi wallpaper switchers people create for their Linux setups: press a shortcut, get a clean visual grid and switch wallpapers without interrupting your workflow. I wanted that experience on my Mac but couldn't find anything that felt native, so I built Wallset. It's a lightweight macOS menu-bar app that lets you: Open a visual wallpaper grid with a keyboard shortcut Use your ...

... more than any UI polish did. So yeah, I d say naming the problem is the actual unlock. The demo just has to not get in the way of it. Comment from Viraj Parab(@viraj_parab): StartupHQ to organize competitor research, validate ideas, and keep my roadmap focused. It removed a lot of the "what should I do next?" moments. Now the challenge is exactly what you mentioned: getting distribution right. Comment from Mincheol kim(@mincheol_kim): @anna_ludwinowski ... ... Kozlo(@wvitalik): I look for the problem/need first. However, note that some products are solving the problem of a bad existing UX and user interface (think about the goal "to manage virtual private servers" and solutions via the terminal VS

... liftoff. legacy geometry manufacturing simply cannot resolve this without inflating system pressure drop. The Addireen AM Solution: We fabricate monolithic pure copper (~400 W/m K) EV Power Module heat sink via Green Laser PBF. By integrating teardrop and interlaced fins topologies, we strictly reduce localized flow drag. Joint Benchmarking (Same Spatial Footprint & Mass Flow Rate): >10 C reduction in max overall temperature. Mitigated thermal fatigue accumulation. Review the complete geometry analysis and empirical data in our latest release ...

... heat flux climbs while the module footprint remains fixed. Conventional die-cast housings are hitting their cooling limits. Addireen s approach: Fabricate the transceiver housing as a single pure copper component using Green Laser AM. By integrating staggered short-fin arrays directly into the casing, we eliminate thermal interface resistance entirely. Testing confirmed a 4 C drop in baseline temperature (52 C 48 C) with zero change to the module footprint. Review the complete test methodology and geometry data ...

... experiment for my startup, @Pretty Prompt : Remove the monthly tier; offer only Free or Yearly (basically no monthly plan available). We decided to do this after doing some simple maths and seeing that 42% of users today choose annual vs our monthly plan. So what if I can take out the monthly option entirely? Has anyone here done something similar or has experience with this? I think a big part of PMF is also a different type ... ... Pricing Market Fit). Does removing monthly pricing hurt conversion or actually make pricing clearer and push more users toward longer commitment? So then I did a bit of research: @Screen Studio Monthly + heavily discounted annual ($29/mo vs

... support stack. We're rebuilding it from the ground up as an AI-native suite. The 10 100x software production cost collapse is quantifiable for us: Lead engineer cost: ~$200/mo (Max's API calls) Customer price: $29/mo Comparable Intercom + Fin AI setup: $1,000+/mo A 30 50x structural unit-economics advantage. Not marketing different cost structure. The new model we're proving: solo human founder + AI co-founder. One person + one AI = one company shipping at the velocity ...

... last startup we just couldn t keep up with support. we tried every chatbot out there. they all felt robotic. customers hated it. hiring more people was too slow + too $$$ so we put together this ai chatbot (think intercom fin but deeper) that trains on your old tickets, learns your tone, doesn t hallucinate , and can actually answer stuff like a real support rep. here s the thing though even when it works, founders get nervous about letting AI talk ... ... like this one " link here if you wanna check it out: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
