... becoming @Product Hunt #2 Product of the Day taught us a lot. Looking back, there's always one decision you'd make sooner. What's yours? Comment from Tiffany Trboyevich(@tiffany_trboyevich): @sharun_kanan  #2 is not surreal, it s earned, congratulations. And browser-native 3D with no game engine is a genuinely cool problem to be solving; the try on without code part is the kind of thing small businesses will need way sooner than they realize. Funny ... ... underline: community-led beats broadcast almost every time, because trust travels through people, not impressions. Nice to see you in here, Nika Comment from Sharun Kanan(@sharun_kanan): @rohanrecommends  Thanks Rohan, and yeah, #2 feels good. Your vertical-vs

... still a bit surreal to see it on the Today tab. Quick recap for anyone who missed the launch (it hit #7 here that day): murmur is a flight simulator for phone calls I built solo: you rehearse the calls you keep putting off - a job interview, calling the doctor, telling your mom you're changing the major - with an AI that talks back and pushes you a bit, and then provides feedback. There is a lot of stuff going ...

... everyone MiroMiro crossed 20,000 installs this week. I shipped the first version in January 2025 thinking maybe a few hundred people would find it useful. still surreal every time I look at the number. a lot of the early users came from here. so, thank you on to the next one Comment from Ilya Ofliian(@ilyaofliian): 20,000 installs from "maybe a few hundred people would find it useful" is the best kind of forecasting error. Congrats earned ...

... startup before work, after work, on weekends, and pretty much every spare moment in between. Today was the day I finally made the leap and officially became a full-time founder. It's exciting... and honestly, a little surreal. For those of you who've made this transition: When did you know it was time? Were you terrified, excited, or both? Looking back, is there anything you wish you'd done before taking the leap? And for those still building ...

... fell into the same trap. I would spin up an MVP, polish the codebase, refactor the database, and wait for users to appear. Spoiler alert: they never did ...or not much. Living through that much tech history is a surreal experience. I had the unique privilege of watching technologies like JavaScript and PHP being born, learning them right as they were emerging. It wasn t a master plan; it was pure coincidence. I just happened to be in the right ...

... building another passive dashboard. PeakRoutine is meant to become part of your weekly health rhythm helping you understand sleep, recovery, movement, and biomarkers, and what to improve next. For a bootstrapped startup , watching this happen has been surreal. User activity over time 108 We listened, we fixed Your feedback in the first two weeks was gold. Our dev team shipped fixes fast: Apple Sign In issues (including the Hide My Email edge cases) Users getting stuck on onboarding screens Latency ...

... optimized HD fireplace scenes added offline downloads implemented immersive 5.1 surround sound tested with early users from Reddit across multiple vehicle brands I m finally launching it on Product Hunt tomorrow , and honestly it still feels a little surreal after almost two months of solo development. I d genuinely love any feedback or questions from fellow makers. What s the most niche product you ve ever built just because it didn t exist ...

... currently #1 on Product Hunt today, and the product sitting right below us is Claude Code Artifacts A bit surreal, because roughly half of our users connect Zernio to Claude via our MCP server to build social media automations. And now with the WhatsApp API, those same agents can handle the full conversation layer too. Consider messaging, calling, broadcasts, in-chat forms managed with your AI agent! We're 7 people building this from Spain, bootstrapped, no VC. Just ...

... apple.co/4b2LQbC Comment from Dharan Tej Reddy(@dharan_tej_reddy): Congrats on shipping! That first launch is everything. I just launched mine today too (Maleu a life OS for social, learning, fitness, and AI camera stuff). The feeling is surreal. Going to check out Mindful Moments meditation and mental clarity apps are genuinely needed right now. Return the favor and drop by our page too if you get a chance ...

... countries and localized into Spanish and Japanese. That weird little achievement got me a flight to Microsoft HQ in 2004 as one of a handful of devs worldwide they wanted to talk to. Still one of the more surreal weeks of my career. Since then I've been doing full-stack CRM and e-commerce work for customers across North America. Steady, solid, not flashy. Now I've built the most ambitious thing I've ever shipped: MyHandler a local ...

... good stress test for this too, whats the problem type that taught you the most? Comment from Artem Fedorovich(@artem_fedorovich): Okay, time to come clean on why I asked this. Reading these replies has been a little surreal, because a lot of you described the exact problem we've been building for. Tessa's @tessa_lynch "it's storage at this point, not knowledge" and Debra's @debra_salt point about messy builds beating polished demos are basically ... ... before. The "keep up" pressure is the real enemy. What problem are you building for right now? That usually tells you which tools actually matter. Comment from Debra Salt(@debra_salt): I relate to this a lot. The show vs

... Most focus apps keep counting time even after you've disappeared into TikTok. That's exactly why I built CogniFocus | a focus app that reacts when your attention slips instead of just running a timer in the background. Pretty surreal seeing articles written about something that was just an idea a few months ago. Thanks to everyone who's supported the launch so far https://startupfortune.com/qasim... ...

... looked at what existed and nothing was built for people who actually live in crypto. So I built it myself. Mobile app, web app, backend, brand solo, in weeks. Today we launched on Product Hunt and it feels surreal. Happy to talk about: Building solo as a self-taught developer The crypto card space and why it's broken What it's like raising pre-seed as a first time founder What's the hardest part of building solo that ...

... same time I'm watching AI-generated ad creative flood Meta to the point where everything looks the same. The irony isn't lost on me. Most of the slop I see is the same pattern: AI cartoons or surreal scenes with the product slapped in. Fast to make, but it tells the customer the brand didn't bother. The product becomes a prop in someone's prompt experiment. That's not the version of AI in ads I want ...

... speed and simplicity matter more than feature overload consistent updates build trust faster than marketing Crossing 1k users may sound small compared to huge products, but as a solo builder, seeing people actively use something I created is honestly surreal. Still early. Still improving every week. Would love to hear: What was the first milestone that made your product feel real ? Comment from Akarsh Jha(@akarshjha03): @janette_arsenault  That s already a huge step honestly Most people never even ...

... countless late-night debugging sessions HerSpace is a calm emotional wellness app for women that combines: AI companionship journaling meditation tarot & astrology insights a women-focused community This is my first real product launch and honestly it feels surreal seeing it live Would genuinely love feedback, thoughts, or even simple launch advice from the PH community Comment from Mariam Bendeliani(@mariam_bendeliani_): @peterclaridge Thank you so much Honestly trying to remind myself of exactly that today It already means ...

... next few months rebuilding almost everything not adding flashy features just fixing the fundamentals making it faster making it stable making it actually usable at scale today we launched again and somehow we re sitting at #1 feels surreal, but also a bit ironic because the biggest difference isn t growth hacks or launch strategy it s just that the product works now a few things I learned from this: distribution is a double-edged sword if your product ...

... November 25, AI Context Flow was #1 Product of the Day and #1 Productivity Tool of the Week . It was surreal. Since then, we have been building in public, together with this amazing community here. You believed in this before it was polished. You gave us feedback when it was rough. You kept asking for more and that pushed us to build more, and we delivered more. And YOU gave us our first real momentum. Thank YOU for that! Over ...

... Honestly, this started as a small idea and turned into something way bigger than I expected. Seeing people try it, comment, and support it today has been surreal. Big thank you to everyone in the Product Hunt community for the feedback, support, and even the tough questions. That s what actually helps improve the product. If you ve checked it out, I d genuinely love to hear: what you liked what felt confusing what you d improve Still building, still ...

... couple hundred launches, that s honestly surreal. Huge thank you to everyone who supported, upvoted, commented, and shared, it really means a lot. Big takeaway: building is only half the game, distribution, marketing, and timing matter just as much. Now back to improving Embedful and doubling down on getting it in front of more people. Check it out: https://www.producthunt.com/prod... https://embedful.io Appreciate the support Comment from Rohan Chaubey(@rohanrecommends): Congrats Fernan! With so many products launching ...

... could. No big team. No funding. Just me, a lot of stubbornness, and an unhealthy amount of obsession over tiny details. That ended up mattering more than I expected. Apple featured Brzzy on the App Store, which was surreal, but the bigger lesson was this: people do not care how hard your product was to build. They care how it feels when they open it. A few things building Brzzy taught me: Small details usually are the product More features ...

... preparing to launch it here. It s exciting, but also a bit nerve-wracking to share something you ve built yourself with the world for the first time. I ve been reading Product Hunt for years , so it feels surreal to finally post here. Happy to be here ...

... Product Hunt I m Argel, founder of HeyApril AI. I ve been a long-time member of the Product Hunt community, and this is my first time launching. Honestly, it still feels surreal. We go live in less than 2.5 hours, and I can t sleep. We gave ourselves a month plus a solid two weeks to prep. And somehow, it still came down to the wire. There were so many moving pieces: Product polish and walkthrough videos Social posts ...

... today. I launched this morning not expecting much. It's a tool I built over the holidays that turned from a side project into the main project I'm working on. Seeing it hit #3 (so far) is honestly surreal. But more than the ranking, the comments and questions have been incredible. People asking about reliability, integrations, roadmap, it's clear this community actually cares about the products they support. That means a lot, especially when trying to garner feedback/ideas ...

... from Vhim Jana(@vhim_jana): This honestly means a lot to me. When I launched ExtraBar, I had no idea it would resonate like this. Seeing real people actually use it and replace tools they relied on before is surreal. I'm excited to keep building and improving it with all of you. Comment from Marion Kesteloot(@marionkesteloot): This is great! I really love the website. I was a little confused about the product at the beginning but the site ...
