... limited testers. They gave us the first feedbacks for us to make the app better. After we didn't succeeded with a try on LinkedIn, where the feedback was nearly zero, we are on our way to find good alternatives. Hopefully Producthunt will help us and I'am pleased to help you, if you like. Maybe we will make the world of apps a little bit better. Is my first day on this page and we are very excited what ... ... about momentum. Great points you raised! Comment from Abusaid islam said(@abusaid_islam_said): @busmark_w_nika  Haha, absolutely! Coffee is definitely a must-have for launch day And to answer your question yes, 100%. Doing a quick "competitor

... Search Console for this yet. A few "AI visibility" trackers have started popping up that re-run prompts on a schedule and log how you're described, but I haven't used one long enough to vouch for it, so I won't pretend I have. What we do at Murror is deliberately low-tech: a fixed list of maybe eight prompts a real customer would actually ask, run on the same day each week across the same assistants, pasted ...

... before I push the update. Comment from Dale Mooney(@dalemooney): @wei_b0  One concrete version of the stale point, since it is cheap to get right and awkward to retrofit: do not show a number you cannot currently vouch for. A blank prompts someone to check. A stale number does not, because it looks like an answer. And I would avoid greying it out as the middle ground, tempting as that is. Grey reads as quiet, which is exactly ... ... before I even open the dropdown. the whole value of a menu bar app is that I don't have to click it to know the state, so if the icon at a glance can't tell me "fine" vs

... built an API or a product with one, how do you actually get it in front of users? SEO? Directories? Marketplaces? Just your own audience? And what would make you list it on someone else's platform vs. keeping distribution fully in your own hands? Comment from Mustafa Arian(@thenameisarian): the pattern is that every solo dev shipping an API is actually building two products: the API and the distribution. most think theyre only building the first. the second ... ... invisible until they hit the wall you described. what actually converts at that stage isnt SEO or directories, its a warm intro from someone who used the thing and publicly vouched

... question. the current junior pipeline assumes companies grant the credential. if that shifts to 'someone in the field will publicly sign for your work,' juniors dont need companies to open 'junior' slots. they need mentors and seniors to name-vouch. thats basically how apprenticeships worked before HR became gatekeeper. AI kills the corporate junior pipeline. doesnt have to kill entry itself. Comment from Mustafa Arian(@thenameisarian): internships as we knew them were always a proxy for "this person can handle ... ... real job." when you can build a real product in your bedroom at 16, the proxy loses its function. but the underlying signal, someone with authority saw them do the work and vouched

... what keeps you in the room, but borrowed trust is what actually moves someone to sign up. Curious whether anyone found a way to manufacture that trust transfer deliberately, rather than getting lucky with a person who happened to vouch ...

... deliberately never show a "verified " badge. Passing auth earns you nothing visually in Skim no green checkmark, no trust indicator. That was a conscious call precisely because of the compromised-account case: we didn't want Skim vouching for a message just because DMARC passed. Absence of warnings endorsement. What we honestly don't catch deterministically: the link-free BEC "hey, wire the payment to this new account, I'm in a meeting." No URL, clean auth, known sender. That ...

... resume you thought would land and nobody has ever mentioned? Comment from Mustafa Arian(@thenameisarian): quick update while we're on the topic: TAM network is now Aver. aver (verb). to state as fact based on personal knowledge. to vouch. when someone signs your work they aver that they saw you ship it. we were calling ourselves a network of the thing when we should have been the verb people already use for it. same product. same trust ladder. same ...

... tools that are key to troubleshooting and improving email deliverability, I created affiliate accounts with some of those tools and referred clients to those tools. These were not random tools, they are tools I have used, and can vouch for. And now 4 years later I am earning $12K MRR from affiliate sales. Why did I do this and not just launch a product right away? Because I wanted to understand their problems intimately and deeply before coming up with ...

... verified AI disclosure. others will not. over time the receipts with agent transparency outperform on credibility because the alternative (resumes claiming pure human work that we all know used AI) has already lost its signal. the platform does not force the choice. it lets the market price it. Comment from Mustafa Arian(@thenameisarian): TAM Network. an AI-native alternative

... maybe our destiny. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @oshylabs  Do you think that phones will be replaced by any other devices? Comment from Mustafa Arian(@thenameisarian): @busmark_w_nika   ha. and someone still has to vouch for what the AI shipped. the receipt format has an agent identity row that names the AI contributor and the percentage of the work. transparency on which row was AI is the actual must-have credential of the next decade ... ... surface is what dies. And that distinction has teeth commercially: the moment your product becomes infrastructure someone else operates, you usually lose the customer relationship the agent owns the user now, you're just a backend it picks. 'Visible vs

... people by name. ai cant fake 'ive been awake since 4am fixing this for you' yet. the angle i keep coming back to with groundwork is that your earliest users are the least sloppy distribution you have, they vouch for you in a way no ad visual can because theyve got skin in it. but yeah for cold reach, pick one weird owned format and be relentlessly human in it. Comment from Nipun Taneja(@nipuntaneja): I build ... ... checked, generated content has nowhere to hide. So the move is to stop competing on tone and start competing on proof. Specific, attributable, verifiable. Show the actual figure and where it came from. Name the user who will vouch

... actual insight, and it's bigger than it looks: making the notification say why it's waiting is what turns a ping into a triage. "Done" makes you tab back to find out what "done" means. "Needs approval vs finished vs

... doesn t need a savior complex Comment from B ra eker(@busra_seker1): @tonyspiro  Attention can bring the first users but the product still has to earn trust after that. Comment from Sourav Mahapatra(@sourav_mahapatra1): The framing 'before vs after the product' misses the actual mechanic. Brand and product compound in parallel when you ship work in public. The CEO building a personal brand without a product to point at is one thing. But by the time the product ... ... emmerita_ambata): This has me thinking differently. As a marketer, I'm all for founder-led content, especially on LinkedIn. I've seen firsthand how much growth and visibility a product gains when a human is talking about it versus

... when it isn't, you're just out of luck. I've been part of the r/sportscards and r/watchexchange subreddits for years and watched people lose money to scammers enough times that I eventually just started building something. Vouched is identity verification plus a reputation score built from confirmed trades. Your reputation follows you everywhere instead of resetting to zero every time you join a new platform, and if someone gets caught scamming their record lives forever instead of disappearing ...

... founders is currently missing? (Analytics? Portfolio integration? Stripe payouts?) Let's discuss! Comment from Alex Cloudstar(@alexcloudstar): @dushyant_khinchi  This is incredible feedback. You hit the nail on the head regarding Trust . On the signal vs. noise: I m envisioning a 'Right of First Refusal' for the maker. It shouldn't be a blind ad network; it s a partnership. You only lease to people you d actually vouch

... people who already understand the product and the problem it solves. Ask them to create a Product Hunt account ahead of time if they do not already have one. When launch day comes, they are far more likely to vouch for the product, leave thoughtful comments, and share real use cases. That kind of engagement carries much more weight than generic support. Comment from AJ(@build_with_aj): I yoloed the vibecoder.date launch because I figured it was whatever ...

... growth. When you need credit, you issue it to yourself. Your trust network backs it. If you want to transact with someone you don't know directly, the system routes through intermediaries you both trust. They earn fees for vouching. Everyone wins. Interest rates are fair: 3-8% APY. Much lower than banks. The interest goes to your community, not to distant corporations. Money circulates locally. Trust compounds. Communities get stronger. HOW IT WORKS Trust Graph: A network of relationships ... ... cooperatives, mutual aid networks. You need credit that circulates locally. Developers building on protocols: Open source, open data, open infrastructure. Build on DCSocial. Skeptics questioning the system: Banks, credit scores, debt traps. You're right to question. We have alternatives

... larger ticket of $1k+/mo) - usually yes. Many products actually list support as the key difference for their enterprise plans. Comment from Patel Smit(@smitpatel_1306): I once stuck with a tool that was slower and pricier than a competitor just because their support treated me like a human, not a ticket. When things break at 2 AM, the feature list doesn t save you. A real person who shows up does. That s worth paying for. Comment from Joshua ... ... self serve but we were clueless about the integration required and their support has been pathetic! I have struggled for 1 week to connect with them and clearly made up my mind to not continue and find an alternative

... chance to iron out critical issues and fine-tune the user experience. 2. Testimonials Are Launch Fuel A great Product Hunt page isn t just about screenshots, it s about social proof. Having early users who can vouch for your product makes it 10x more compelling. Their quotes and feedback can become the backbone of your launch copy. 3. Feedback Is Better Than Hope It s easy to fall in love with your own idea. But launching to a closed ...

... leave Sigma and did that coincide with the idea for Okibi? Comment from Ruben Kostucki(@ruben_kostucki): Thanks Mahyad We're applying to YC today (deadline) and if I'm not mistaken, it really helps if you have people vouching from you from the inside. Is this indeed correct and could I ask for the favour? Thanks Comment from t p n Fau(@stepan_fau): What was the reason for getting kicked out of YC? Comment from Mahyad(@mahyad): @ruben_kostucki ...

... tools are suitable for students who want to bypass AI detection for their homework. For SEO, I don't think bypass AI can really help it. Comment from Matt Carroll(@catt_marroll): @fabricioferrero  ideally something someone can personally vouch for having used :) Comment from Mike Harrison(@elondust2077): i need this too Comment from Malith Gamage(@malithmcrdev): Once I had the same idea and I thought this is original and cool but found out there are tons of tools ...

... fantastic global Co-Founder matching platform! I met my Co-Founder there after meeting hundreds of entrepreneurs around the world with different backgrounds, skill-sets, experiences, etc. It is an incredibly well-built platform and I could not vouch for it more! Happy to answer any questions about the platform if you're interested. Leon Comment from hassan fiaz(@deleted-8731180): We kept bumping into each other in Product Hunt comment. Eventually decided to build something together. Comment from ...

What actually works? you don t need thousands of followers. you need 10 people who care. people who will: leave a comment share your link join the convo vouch for you in public your launch crew isn t a hack. it s the engine. How to build yours before you launch: reach out to 10-20 people who get it offer to support their work too make it easy ...
