... line like 127.0.0.1 shop.local, Local Services was showing shop.local next to every local port that answers on loopback Raycast, Google Drive, mysqld, all of them. Every line was true. Not one of them told you anything. A hosts name points at an ADDRESS, not at a service. So now it is said once, above the group: "On this Mac they also answer as localhost and shop.local." A name for one specific address stays on its row that is where ... ... names you added yourself. They come from your own file, and this text ends up in screenshots.

... Meridian is currently #1 on Product Hunt, and we are just 20 points away from becoming Product of the Day. We have spent the past three months building an open-source, local-first AI work journal that helps developers capture the work behind their work, including investigations, technical decisions, unexpected problems, and everything that often disappears from daily updates. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to try Meridian, support our launch, and share Meridian. We are incredibly ... ... close to this milestone, and every bit of continued support matters. Please help us cross the final 20 points

... imagine you re more productive working alone than you would be with a team. What product are you building? Comment from Adana Marukhyan(@adana): @jordan_bulk   @tiffany_trboyevich   @heresalexandria  Absolutely agree with this. Especially the point about balancing different user needs - that s where good design really makes a difference. Comment from Adana Marukhyan(@adana): @emmanuel_lnu  I really like the idea behind Merzify! Do you already have an estimate of how accurate its verdicts ... ... Comment from Adana Marukhyan(@adana): @ashir_murtaza1  Yes, that could be the case =D Do you think spacing really matters that much, or is what matters more whether the product is catchy and actually solves a real pain point

... that's genuinely what the API call is. the mass send only exists at the level of the loop, not the call, and nothing in this thread's model is watching that level. same shape as the cumulative-spend point further down for purchases, but it applies just as much to sends, writes, anything an agent can repeat. feels like reach needs a session or time-window scope in addition to a per-call one, otherwise a bad loop just ... ... there's no shared webhooks folder they both sit under. so the glob fix doesn't even apply to the three i have today, they were never colocated in the first place. which proves your enumeration vs

... have been one of the most helpful person on PH ! Maybe people like you is reason this community thrives:) Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @emmadagold  Thank you for your POV. It seems we are aligned in many points :) Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @new_user___15220260fd153a4893b7802  I mean, you are right, but more people are more people = diversity :) Comment from Arnold Oshenye(@oshylabs): Another data point

... Everyone here tells you to comment more. I went and read what the points actually say, and they disagree. My all time breakdown, read today on producthunt.com/kitty-points with the period switched to All time. Switch it, because the default view is last week and that is how people end up quoting the wrong number as their total. I did exactly that twice. 121 KP total. Forum Threads +58. Comments +48. Reviews +10. Maker +6. Eight forum threads produced that ... ... here recently: 41 KP total, 20 of it from verification alone. If your account is young, that is the highest paying ten minutes on the site. None of this tells you what to write. It tells you where the points

... product polish, its whether a small number of humans will vouch out loud on the day. Comment from Alexander Eliot(@alexander_eliot): Real data point to add, since I'm also live today: brand-new PH accounts get zero-weighted on upvotes, confirmed directly against PH's own Help Center ("if points

... checked my Kitty Points breakdown properly today and it said the opposite of what I believed. Comments: 37 points

... before our own launch, since this took a while to pull together and might save someone else a bad launch day pick. We pulled every featured product across all 7 days of the week and looked at the median points needed to break the top 5 and top 10 on each day. Check the full report here: https://app.databox.com/shared/a... The short version: Saturday is the easiest day. Only 266 median points

... crazy journey of sleepless nights, endless debugging, and learning things I never thought I could handle at 15. Today, I m incredibly proud (and a bit terrified!) to introduce Skill Loop . What is Skill Loop? Skill Loop is a points-based barter system designed for creators, learners, and builders. Instead of paying with money, you pay with your skills. The Skill Loop Economy: You help someone using your skills, you earn points

... last 18 months building Nodarama Verbatim , an AI Code Recording system designed to simplify and protect the chaotic copy-and-paste routine of vibe coding. I built it with multiple failbacks: templated revision sheets, full logging, auto-restore points, and an undo history. I thought I was bulletproof. Then, during a final cleanup pass of my UI to make the code shareable, I watched the AI perform a sequence that felt like a coordinated attack. Connected over Ngrok, it bypassed ... ... safeguards: it rapidly overwrote both of my auto-restore points

... structural failures I was seeing in individual emails were isolated mistakes or a consistent pattern across the industry. So I picked companies: Semrush, HeyGen, Optimizely, Revolut, Notion, Perplexity, ElevenLabs, Zoho, Wiz, dbt Labs, ran their emails through a 7-point diagnostic framework I'd developed, scored them, named the failure patterns, rebuilt the emails, and published everything publicly. 59 teardowns. Every single one open at strategicflow.tech/teardowns.html . Here's what the data shows. The 3 structural failures that appear ... ... problem was never the words. It was always the order. What I built from these patterns After 59 teardowns, the most common question I received was: " How do I know if my email has this problem? " Not a competitor

... asset. We do that half on the customer's own domain with their own Associates tag, and they keep the part that actually differentiates a site: the opinion, the first-hand product knowledge, the audience. Where your original point bites hardest, including for me: describing the problem is not the same as proving other people name it the same way. My clearest evidence is one paying customer whose first week broke five of my assumptions, not a survey ... ... products, that distinction matters because it uses AI is not a problem. The problem is the costly human work or missed opportunity the AI removes. Comment from Tina Chhabra(@tina_chhabra): @anna_ludwinowski  that's such a good point

... development matters, compare competing perspectives, and deliver actionable takeaways . To get started, users open AI Mode and enter a natural-language prompt. For example, "keep me updated on nearby movie tickets for The Mandalorian and Grogu." From that point, the agent runs autonomously, monitoring the web and sending push notifications whenever it finds something worth flagging . The breadth of use cases points

... breaking, and so on. - Vaizle - I work with Vaizle, but it has very easily emerged as my fav platform. Not even lying. I can keep track of ad performance, check what competitors are posting on social. And best part is that I can feed it my own website + competitors

... missing signal means "didn't happen" versus "this runtime can't see it"? That distinction feels load-bearing and I'd rather learn it from someone who's already hit it than discover it the hard way. Comment from Aadil Ghani(@aadilghani): @bickov   yes sir Comment from Aadil Ghani(@aadilghani): @bickov   This is the most useful note we've gotten on the whole launch, so let me go point

... Some of the most defensible products come from a quiet observation a pain point everyone is complaining about and nobody is fixing. I am curious about what's on the community's list right now. The kind of thing where prospects keep describing the same problem, the existing tools all fall short, and the gap feels obvious from the inside but isn't yet on any 'top 10 AI startup ideas' list. A few examples of pain points

... from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @stareena_patrick  I think that when someone adds to the prompt "add example", it can create something, but will still feel like a template .D Comment from Monica(@monikatest): I agree with the point about text and video. But this is still an interaction, and interactions carry dynamics that shape how something feels: response timing and adaptability, tone, approach, and even the presence or absence of certain patterns. So it s not just about ... ... specificity. AI writes the average of everything, and a real person drops the one weird detail no model would predict. I trust the comment with a number and a scar over the one with three tidy bullet points

... just hardcoded placeholder nobody measured ) brand-first makes you commit publicly to mechanics system acutally never proven Comment from Piyush Gajrani(@piyush_teq): @busmark_w_nika Most founders don t fail at brand vs product they fail at timing clarity. Knowing when to show up 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 ... ... true. You have to remember that they are getting the opportunity to invest in your company. The company that, in your mind, will become a major success. Don t use that energy to become belligerent or arrogant. The point

... Hunt! Charlie here, co-founder of Trophy. Since we launched Trophy 1.0 back in Jan we've been continuing to ship new features to Trophy, and March was no exception. One of the biggest updates was the addition of points levels so I thought I'd take the time to share that with you here. What are points

... trying something new on Thursday: Alpha Day . The idea is simple. If this is the first time you re launching your product anywhere, you can tag it alpha and get a boost to your points (and land on a special leaderboard). This is for the genuinely fresh stuff. The products that are just getting out into the world. The ones that still need feedback, still have rough edges, and are way more interesting because of it. We re also putting ... ... Comment from Chris Messina(@chrismessina): It's been a long time since Product Hunt's server crashed... this could be a repeat of days long lost! Comment from Sonny T.(@sonnyt): @aaronoleary gaaah, I launched today, got 0 points

... Complete Guide to AI dictation for Mac If you're looking for the best free AI dictation app for Mac, we'd point you straight to Snaply . Snaply is one of those rare apps that's genuinely free, private by default, and actually useful once the dictation is done. You get fast on-device transcription, a thoughtful Writing Assistant , private local translation, and AI-powered meeting notes; all in one place. But this guide isn't just a quick summary ... ... going to go deep. We'll explain exactly what Snaply is, how it works, why privacy matters so much for dictation tools, how it stacks up against every major alternative

... left feeling productive. Test group : We fed the same roadmap into Claude. No slides. No politics. No one trying to protect their pet project. Just the raw plan. The prompt: "Analyze this roadmap. Identify the three most likely failure points. Use first principles reasoning. Assume we will follow your recommendations without ego. If you need more data, ask for it." The results were not symmetrical. Failure point

... Last month, I did something that felt slightly insane. I took our product description, fed it into ChatGPT, and asked it to build a competitor. Not a parody. A real competitor
