... them myself too) but to me, PH used to be about finding products I would never find otherwise. Chatting with makers, getting feedback on my own stuff. That was the whole point. for the big three and other giants, we re all going to see it anyway. Every reel, every thread, every newsletter will cover it as soon as it's launched, whether or not it s featured on Product Hunt. I am really curious about what ... ... indie stuff on here? - and if you ve launched recently or are thinking about it: is it actually worth it anymore, or has it become a vanity checkbox? feels like Product Hunt needs a separate board for corporate launches vs

... most important and challenging experiences you ll have as a founder is fundraising. I pitched VCs across London and San Francisco. Some spent 15 seconds on my deck. Some took the call just to diligence a competitor. One told me to ask for more money. Oh, and I found out your pitch is probably being recorded and run through AI. This is the high-impact version of all of those lessons to save you time, energy, and emotional damage. Please ... ... typing now. So increasingly, when people say moat, what they really mean is some combination of unique data, distribution, speed of learning or brand.

... That was intentional. If someone can't see the value early, more free features won't change their mind. Comment from Takahito Yoneda(@y_taka): Your general versus tailored approach translates perfectly to how I think about SaaS pricing, where it usually comes down to core utility versus

... NeoShift BI (the data analytics platform I m building) and had our Claude-powered AI analyze the failure points. The reality check was brutal: Only 18.8% failed because they ran out of runway. 75.3% were completely crushed by established Giants and intense market competition. We spend 90% of our time worrying about budget and UI, when the real threat is defensibility. Execution is cheap right now. For solo devs to survive, the data points toward "strategic invisibility" targeting micro-niches ... ... that are too small for giants

... While building AI agents with customers at Famulor , we noticed another recurring problem: As soon as conversations become non-linear , prompts break down. People try to: Stuff complex logic into one giant prompt Explain branching behavior in long paragraphs Maintain if / else logic inside plain text The result? Prompts that are hard to understand, impossible to maintain, and risky to change. That s why we built the Flow Builder . Flow Builder Instead of writing long, fragile prompts ... ... language, assertiveness, humor, and more. Auto-layout One click to neatly organize even complex flows. Import / Export JSON Share flows across assistants, environments, or teammates instantly. Why this matters We learned that complex AI conversations don t belong in giant

... makers, hunters and all the people from Product Hunt! I m Gia, and while I m not a professional PM, I ve been building something for PMs and anyone who wants to turn their ideas into a well-structured document. The cycle of product development for me always starts from idea - but sometimes I can not even explain it well to myself - how am I supposed to get with it anywhere??? Yep, I am supposed to write ...

... every generation, there s a company that redefines an industry forever. Apple reshaped technology. Amazon transformed commerce. Tesla revolutionized energy and mobility. Now, CloseHive, founded by Joshua Small, is poised to become the multi-trillion-dollar giant of real estate by 2030 an achievement that will not only redefine property transactions but open the door to a brand-new housing market in the United States and beyond. This isn t just hype. This is the reality of combining: A completed ... ... housing market in the USA: more accessible, efficient, and scalable than ever before. By 2030, CloseHive isn t just projected to be a unicorn or a decacorn it s projected to be a multi-trillion-dollar industry-defining giant

... expensive GPT-5 is estimated to cost up to $1B to train, yet the improvement is mostly superficial. What we re getting is better packaging, not better reasoning. Meanwhile, a quiet shift is happening in the background. Research in alternative architectures is starting to show surprising results. Liquid Neural Networks, for example, are achieving task-specific performance far beyond what transformers deliver using a fraction of the resources. Neuromorphic chips are pushing 10x energy efficiency. And miniaturized, domain-specific models ... ... proving far more practical at the edge than scaled-up giants

... render html but that s exactly our edge. Look at how they acquired @Windsurf for billions: instead of building vertical products themselves, they buy proven software players. we re in that category. Now tell me: what stops OpenAI and giants from doing what you're doing? Comment from Alexandru Rada(@alxrda): the best answer, you're right. We get similar questions at actordo.com and this is the single best answer. Your market is a vertical that is too small ... ... what OpenAI wants to do.

... like button. Benchmarks, benchmarks, benchmarks Benchmarks should always be taken with a grain of salt . They are effectively a snapshot of a models capabilities under near perfect conditions. Sort of like the Big Mac you see on the ads vs the Big Mac you get in the bag. It gives you a good idea, but they're far from a perfect measure of real world usage.

... everyone, I wanted to share an honest perspective on what it really means to build an application from scratch especially when you're stepping into a space already dominated by giants. It's a conversation we often have among entrepreneurs, and I felt the need to be transparent. When we launched Nexli.io , our web app for team collaboration, we knew the road wouldn't be easy. People told us things like, "Good luck competing with the big companies that have ... ... been doing this for years!" or "The app looks great, but how are you going to stand out among the market giants

... landscape keeps shifting fast, and Mistral AI s recent moves remind us that innovation rarely comes from just one giant. It s fascinating to see a new player emerge with fresh approaches to open-weight models and decentralized R&D challenging the idea that AI progress must be owned by a few massive companies. This raises a bigger question: Are we heading toward a more collaborative and open AI ecosystem, or will the big players always dominate the narrative ... ... breakthroughs faster. For builders and researchers alike, this is both exciting and a bit daunting. What do you think? Is the next wave of AI innovation going to come from open, community-driven efforts or from stealthy, well-funded giants

... Caution: We re treading on thin ice. I understand why big companies lobby for better conditions in their field. I see it more as a form of collective interest. But what if a few select individuals (CEOs of tech giants we know who we mean) become highly politically biased and actively engaged? Especially when their companies are media-driven and have the power to influence public opinion on a massive scale? If a tech company owns media platforms, should ...

" Uber and Spotify took similar steps in the past, and I think more companies will follow this trend set by the giants. That's why I am asking: What can you offer this world that you will be paid for? (Skill) Will you change your online career to offline? What will it be? Last but not least: Does it make sense to start ... ... business when, with AI, your product can be replicated and you may end up with a copycat solution, or a big giant

... Imagine an AI that doesn t rely on giants like Google or Facebook. Decentralized AI could change the way we interact with technology, making it more private, accessible, and secure. But, is it really possible or just a crazy idea? Comment from Rick Fan(@rick_fan): In fact, I've always felt that if AI services are to become a fundamental service, there needs to be a large model that is not influenced by giants

... most downloaded free app in the US. While OpenAI s GPT-4 incurred a training cost of $600M DeepSeek s V-3 model is claimed to have been created within a budget of $6M. Interestingly, what took tech giants like Open AI and Google years to build is now claimed to have been achieved in 2 months, in a thousandth fraction of its cost. If we compare the infrastructure, DeepSeek is comparatively stronger. With over 685 parameters and a cluster ... ... hedge fund, which by nature is known to bias the market in its favor.
