... good at writing them :). Finally I wanted to take the venture towards independence. I hate the idea of being a cog in the machine. Money and freedom are nice too :) Comment from Ruxandra Mazilu(@ruxandra_mazilu): Loooove this topic! In my case, I grew up with my parents encouraging me to try things (sports, drama club, debates, volunteering etc), and I think they were just laying the foundation of my multi-passionate way of being. During university, I naturally went ... ... able to travel the world. Comment from Tereza Hurtov (@tereza_hurtova): Honestly, I just really like the buzz around building things. :) The speed, chaos, and momentum suit me much more!

... what you re building. Maybe it s less about waiting vs promoting and more about how intentionally you bring people into the journey. Comment from Kabir Salunkhe(@kabirsalunkhe): @busmark_w_nika  Hahaha! Apologies, it was an interesting topic for discussion. To be honest even I'm finding it difficult to keep track of the thread replies! :D Comment from Kabir Salunkhe(@kabirsalunkhe): @busmark_w_nika  Interesting way to frame it. False positives might actually do more damage than ... ... useful (probably quite hard nowadays, hahaha) at least gives people a reason to care about the person who built it Comment from Mihail(@sweepbase): For Sweepbase I deliberately went the other way. There is no founder face on the homepage

... Yeah, and think about that, people spend huge money just booking someone's time (e.g. Cal). I have seen one post on X, and it had the same narrative as these comments. Definitely inspired me to open this topic. Comment from Nayan Surya(@nayan_surya98): I really don't understand how a to-do list can make so much money. It is like a simple to-do list which you can even track in Notepad also but still they ... ... used.

I find it cute :D Comment from Amrani Yasser(@amraniyasser): Million Dollar Homepage

... from Ashraf Mahmoud(@amm8): As you describe, it comes down to how you use Ai. For general purposes things that I know, I use AI as tool to summarize information. I can check the results because I know the topic. For new information, I use it as a researc tool. But, I try verify or validate the results. When it comes to coding, I've been using for things I have no experience in. Most recently, this has been ... ... think, then ask, then challenge the answer. If AI becomes a shortcut instead of a sparring partner, we save time but lose depth. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @amm8  That part with vibecoding really hits close to home

... table comparing build time vs requests vs actual usage is the most honest breakdown I've seen. Should be a framework every early-stage team uses before committing resources. Comment from Gaurav Singh(@gaurav_singh91): This hit close to home, Imed. The "no enterprise features until someone pays" rule is one I wish more founders wrote down before spending a dollar.

I will try vloggers and directly contacting people that might be interested. I really don't know. Any suggestion and help on the topic

... your way to the top, the signal breaks down for everyone. As someone launching Hello Aria on April 10th (an AI productivity assistant that manages your day through WhatsApp and iOS), this hits close to home. We have been doing things the honest way: genuine community engagement, early users who actually love the product. Watching vote-selling undermine that is frustrating. The account quality signals you described (email-linked LinkedIn, contribution history) make a lot of sense. A verified organic ... ... many people reach out on linkedin after i submitted my latest product here. this definitely changed over the last few years and is kind of annoying. I blocked all of those people reaching out to me - unfortunately the topic

Why it worked: It was a problem every founder experiences but no one had quantified. AI had nothing else to cite on that topic

... ones who actually disappear into the work. I think the trick is treating your relationship like your best client. You'd never ghost a client, miss every deadline, and wonder why they churned. Same energy applies at home. The obsession doesn't go away. You just get better at knowing when to close the laptop. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @alexeyglukharev  and that's sparks another question is it possible that only two people with "entrepreneurial" spirit ... ... building for a vision you're building for something real and immediate. Probably less about priorities and more about timing and the particular kind of obsession building requires. Comment from Tereza Hurtov (@tereza_hurtova): This is actually a topic

Feel free to give honest and raw feedback, I will appreciate it Thank you Comment from Aleksandar Blazhev(@byalexai): Great topic, Nika! This is the biggest nightmare for makers who launch products on Product Hunt. In many cases, they end up completely rejecting Product Hunt. They stop launching. They start hating the platform. Which is childish. It s like stopping posting ... ... weeks and get featured and become a top-3 product. In fact, there are quite a few examples like that. One team I worked with launched in December and wasn t featured. I told them the homepage

... glad to see the disclaimer on the bottom of your site, have you thought about what other guardrails should be implemented for Leo, so that it is staying helpful and referring users to a professional as needed? On the topic of building, it sounds to me like the choices have been made based on what Lovable best supports, is that accurate? What is the reasoning behind using Lovable over other similar options on the market? When implementing auth and permissions ... ... parts of YouTube, X, and Reddit without getting sucked into the feeds. The whole idea is feed-level blocking instead of full site blocking, so you can still open direct links, search, DMs, etc. It blocks stuff like YouTube Home

... maker comment is genuine and invites conversation, the rest follows. Good luck, rooting for you. Comment from Kanishk Saraswat(@kanishk_saraswat): I'm in the exact same boat pre-launch right now, so this thread hit close to home.

There's a real luck and timing component and the best thing you can do is acknowledge that and focus ... ... coordinate any mutual support on launch day.

The concept of turning trending topics

... Users are smart! A few things I m seeing across the ecosystem:   Secondary research is real.  After an LLM mentions a product, users click into Reddit, Product Hunt, and community threads & not just the discovered product homepage.   Community citations get more trust-clicks.  A Reddit discussion or PH review is 100% more credible than a polished landing page.   Website traffic is going down.  Even when visibility increases, direct site visits don t always ... ... also representative of what user are actually asking ChatGPT. For example, if you see more ChatGPT-user agent visits on pages / blog posts pertaining to a particular feature e.g. integration capabilities, then you know to include prompts on this topic

... text and assets. By the end of day one I had 865 unstyled pages that were structurally correct and content-complete. Day two was styling. I had a good base to work from, so I just iterated on the homepage until it matched our brand, then pointed the AI at all the other pages and told it to propagate. Lots of iteration later and it was done. The $25k comparison is the clickbait version of this story. The real value ... ... fact-checking process? Definitely a concern. I am testing a few ways to do this. But, while I work on tweaking the AI, my plan is manual verification initially and hence I plan to start with a select few topics

... Slowly but surely, the Christmas holidays are approaching, which usually means more time at home with family and more movie binge-watching. Yesterday I watched TV for the first time in a while, and they were playing Bezos: The Beginning (2023). A decent movie overall, even though it could ve been longer or had a sequel. But there are still many other inspiring movies about business and entrepreneurship that hit even harder, for example: The Social Network ... ... essentially a long movie.
