... somehow still feel exactly the same: Different colors. Slightly different layouts. The same numbers inside slightly different rectangles. Even with AI now being injected into everything, much of what s being created feels like surface level variation rather than genuinely new experiences. Which raises an interesting question: Why hasn t one of the most frequently checked apps on our phones actually evolved in a meaningful way? Curious how others here think about this? Is the weather app category solved ... ... there still room for something genuinely

... Part of my job in growth at Clueso is talking to Marketers, PMs, customer success managers, solo founders building in public. And over time, one pattern kept showing up that I genuinely didn't expect. When I'd ask "what's stopping you from making more product videos?" almost nobody said editing.

Before you record, during the edit, or somewhere else entirely? There are no wrong answers here, and your experience genuinely

I can't build something unless my heart is in it, that's just how I'm wired. If I don't genuinely

And here's the weird part we got a ton of signups and paid users for Starnus from it. Without ever mentioning the product. Meanwhile, my "here's what Starnus does" posts? Way less engagement. This genuinely

... their own launch, then goes quiet until the next one. That makes me wonder: how much of success here is strategy, and how much is timing and network effect? If you ve launched on Product Hunt before, I d genuinely love to hear: What surprised you the most? What actually moved the needle? What would you do differently?

I've been poking my wife with it and it genuinely makes our day better. Sometimes tech doesn't need to solve a serious problem.

... beginning, my reason was very simple: I needed a job and I genuinely liked the product. I graduated with a Marketing degree, but I never felt like I belonged in agencies or similar environments. It just wasn t for me. At the same time, I didn t have much experience in tech either. So I took a leap of faith and applied for a Customer Support role, almost blindly. The early days were tough.

... while ago, I commented on a product launch here on PH. I was genuinely interested, so I asked a question about the product and wished the team good luck. I just wanted to be supportive and know more about what they were doing. The day after the launch, one of the team members added me on LinkedIn, and I accepted.
