... replying, and watching ideas evolve in public. That era shaped how I think more than any classroom ever did. Eventually, I drifted into crypto. Not because I was particularly insightful- just online enough to encounter it early. I held things I shouldn t have sold and sold things

... pressure that keeps that first sentence from landing. So floe's design asks: What is that pressure? Can we remove it? First choice: writing prompts are "invitations," not "commands" Many writing tools give you clear prompts: "Write down three things you accomplished today" "Describe a moment you're proud of" These prompts aren't wrong. But they assume: you should have "things

... really much, and it annoys me a bit. In exactly 14 days (28. 1.) we will launch the product, and the only thing I do is talk about it. But yes, there are points that I still want to master by then, e.g.: Create an informational newsletter inviting people to follow our product page Create a list of people who could support us and ask them for help Announcements on social networks Inform Kickstarter backers who supported us with updates ... ... also an audience Publishing a Product Hunt badge on the landing page Continually grow and maintain a personal brand which should be a long-term goal, not just for launch purposes. The list should go on, and one additional thing

... spend most of my time on these two things: 1) observing products on the main page and upvoting/commenting on them 2) talking with people within comments under my forums The second one is the one where I notice some things

... doesn't refactor. It just... adds more code. I'd find the same API call written five different ways across an app. The same validation logic copy-pasted with slight variations. Helper functions that did almost the same thing scattered across random files. One codebase had three different date formatting utilities. None of them worked correctly for all timezones. How I Actually Fixed These I started offering what I called Rescue Sprints. 7 days, fixed price ... ... This matters because when you're debugging production issues, you need someone who can jump on a call now, not tomorrow. I've done this working with US companies like Alteryx, CardCapture, and through Toptal for years. The timezone thing

... product launches, I somehow subconsciously judge not only the product itself and its quality, but also the quality that is reflected in the effort the makers put into preparing it. It may sound insignificant, but in my case, these things also make a significant difference: Icon GIF at the launch it enlivens the overall impression and is dynamic Quality graphics and video First, a properly filled-out comment Photos in the makers' profiles (it's less trustworthy for me when ... ... visuals feel low-effort, I usually move on. What I like about your list, Nika, is that it captures this invisible layer of care . It s rarely one big thing

... Android , with the same workflow and the same brain everywhere you open your inbox. Our north star is still the same: Never miss what matters. Not by throwing more notifications at you, but by making sure the important things naturally rise to the top, while the noise stays out of your way. A couple highlights we re genuinely proud of: Filo was selected to be featured on the App Store , which felt like a huge vote of confidence ... ... next). The biggest change since the early days is how much stronger the AI layer has become, especially our Task Agent . As AI models have gotten better, we ve been able to make the Agent feel more do things

... actual market adoption has been tragic. I think the growing AI bubble narrative today is, to a large extent, driven by how hard it s been for agentic applications to actually land in the real world. The funny thing is, if you look around, there are tons of products claiming to help you build agents. Diverse frameworks, tools, and templates are everywhere. Everyone tells you their product makes things

... productivity means getting (more) results faster in less time. My goals for 2026 are closely linked to the fact that I want to learn a lot of things , which will require a lot of concentration . Therefore, I think that a large part of what I want to gain will be ensured by: 1) spending less time on the Internet (especially social networks) the solution could be to pre-prepare content and set a max. time limit for the time ... ... spend there per day 2) getting enough sleep so that my brain works optimally (this is a tip from @conduit_design ) 3) help from AI to complete things

... What are three things you re grateful for every day? Are they the same, or do they change over time? For me, the three things

... commuting. You can sleep in a little longer. You get to schedule your day exactly how it suits you. So how do you make the most of remote work and actually become more productive? Here are a few things that work really well for me: Tackle the hardest tasks as early as possible (eat the frog first thing

... guidelines; I followed them to the letter. We had to change the date of the Product Hunt launch five times. We realized that we weren't ready. What Actually Helped Us When you launch a product, the most valuable things are: talking to people, reading what others share on the forum, studying past launches, and asking questions in private chats. I first discovered @busmark_w_nika (she writes a lot about PH strategy) and @byalexai , who often shares his experience ... ... sometimes joined them - it's amazing that you can ask anything and people really help! Being active on the forum and supporting other launches helped me meet many people who shared launch strategies. And everyone repeated the same thing

... with a clear head and real energy. When you go for a walk (ideally outside in fresh air), your blood starts flowing better, more oxygen reaches your brain, and suddenly great ideas or solutions just pop into your head, things you d never think of at your screen.

... forms, CRM records, game events) and it would return structured profile information and summaries you could plug into your existing tools. That was useful, but the more I talked to indie hackers and founders building agents, the clearer one thing became: They didn t just want profiles over there in some API . They wanted their AI agents to "actively use" those profiles in every conversation. So I rebuilt GetProfile as an LLM proxy and made it open source ... ... user profile. From your agent s perspective, it s still just OpenAI . Under the hood, it now has a brain that actually remembers who it s talking to. What GetProfile actually does At a high level, GetProfile does four things

... have been managing several communities and doing marketing for over 3 or 4 years, and I have noticed a pattern where about 80% of people "test" you to see if you will do things for them for free. I also notice that people from certain countries tend to do this more often. For example, Central and Eastern Europe + Southeast Asia. On the contrary, people from the USA and China are willing to pay. Can you tell me what is behind ... ... structured set of questions in order to ultimately understand why they are requesting this. If the reason is that they want more information or reassurance about the quality of the services, it is better to offer them an alternative

(And I don't want to sound bad, but I honestly don't know what skill she would have that she could use to make a living - the only thing she was really good at was being sassy, which, oddly enough, earned some people's respect.) On the other hand: There are still people who can achieve something from nothing  They can have such a bad situation that they are forced ... ... something with their existence When it comes to me, whenever I had to do things

... genuinely didn't understand why I reacted the way I did and why I couldn't control it all anymore. The result: health problems and lack of sleep. When I finally found a good psychologist, the first thing she advised was to start exploring my emotions.  The hardest part was tracking them daily and remembering to do it all by the next session. The main point wasn't even about describing the situation or mood ... ... paid more attention to the situation and tried to sort it out than to look at my feelings. But when I began to understand my attitude toward what was happening and the underlying reasons behind it, that's when things

... starts with one button. A button is the simplest way to communicate with an app. To trigger an action. To complete a task. It s simple. Though so difficult to get right. Most of the time, that thing that feels right is probably the right decision. But to get there, it takes time, trial and error, and a lot of iteration. Over and over again, I m learning that the simplest things

... actually needed something like this for a long time. Drop So how did it all start? It was about 10 months ago. I used to divide a piece of paper into small sections and write down simple things like brushing my teeth , doing Ring Fit , combing my hair , or applying cream . My goal was to do the same things

I ve always found budgeting annoying. I ve tried so many apps before and always gave up after a week or two. Too many buttons, too much effot, add this and that and still dont hav data on What i should add So around six months ago, I built something small ... ... dumbly simple that I actually use. It s kind of simple, and honestly a bit stupid at the same time. I just started using the power of GPT to track my spending. I literally tell it things

... noticed two main narratives in how companies view their competitors. Either it s a fight to the death approach exactly like what we see between Replit and Lovable (though it seems Replit does more of the provoking ) basically: We speak badly about our competition. Or it s more motivational: We speak positively about our competition. Tho I do not know whether I have seen some example of this competition, I can see it only in terms of personal branding when ... ... people do not want to say bad things

... different* for some of you. I ve been thinking a lot about what I call the founder shadow . I m sure there s smarter writing out there on the topic, but this is how I see it: as things start to shine brighter at your startup, other parts of your life fall into its shadow. I ve been chasing highs and wins, the kind that feel addictive in the moment, but it comes at a cost. The theft of time ... ... life, and loved ones. We had a win recently, and I realized the person I was most excited to tell was also the one who paid the price while I was chasing it. Plus she has other things

Even though I was doing all these things, they left me with no time to spare to improve the app. To tell a little bit of a story on what happend: I created tweets that almost no people saw. Then I got marked as suspicious on Twitter ... ... portrait it in a video that catches people immediately. In that whole week I barely finished one short. It was too overwhelming with no end in sight. My mind was all over the place and this made things
