I used to love playing Falling Sand, so I built my own version you can play right in your browser.

I added weather effects, chain reactions, and synth style sound effects to make it feel a little fresh while keeping the same chaotic fun that made the original so addictive.

Would love any feedback on the gameplay, effects, and overall feel. What would you add next?

It feels like speech and subtitles are mostly solved now.

But one part of video localization still feels surprisingly manual:
text that appears inside the video itself.

Introducing Playground, a full real-time GLSL development environment within DASCA for writing shaders and animating them with advanced curve support, alongside the new Depth Ball effect and general performance improvements.

Last week, one of our users got temporarily banned from a social media platform.

Not because she posted spam. Not because she broke rules.

I noticed that my Spotify @Raycast extension had stopped working and discovered that Spotify clamped down on its platform as of last month:

Over time, advances in automation and AI have fundamentally altered the usage patterns and risk profile of developer access, and at Spotify's current scale these risks now require more structured controls.

In response, we are making changes to Spotify for Developers to better protect creators, partners, listeners and the platform. These updates build on changes we've implemented in the past, including the introduction of developer modes, refining access for WebAPI endpoints, introducing new extended quota mode criteria, as well as deprecating outdated OAuth flows.

Thus if you notice other Spotify-based products not working correctly... you might see if it's because of this.

We all have that one piece of content an article, a talk, a thread that genuinely changed how we think about something.

For me it was "1,000 True Fans" by Kevin Kelly. The idea that you don't need millions of followers to build a sustainable creative career completely shifted how I think about building audiences. It is also one of the core ideas behind Copus helping people build real, engaged communities around the content they care about.

Imagine: You're deep into a technical doc. Three browser tabs open. A Wikipedia article on one, an API reference on another, a blog post explaining a workaround on the third.

You find exactly what you need.

I am working for a 20-person startup. @Linear is our product development system, which we really enjoy.

Currently, our operations team receives support requests via their personal email and then publishes requests in the Slack channel, where developers are picking up issues, but we would like to upgrade to a more comprehensive system with a shared inbox. I would like it to have an integration with Linear, and the ticket creation to be automated as much as possible. It would be great to have a help center (documentation), too, as a part of the offering.

1. Global problem: Dating apps fail for complex lives (illness, relocation, unfulfilled youth). A platform is needed for matching based on life path compatibility.

2. Daily routine: after every client meeting, I need to write a structured report for colleagues. Existing corporate tools (Microsoft 365) are inefficient and slow for this.

3. A startup founder loses focus and productivity juggling 5-7 tools for a single project. Existing all-in-one platforms don't provide the feel of a unified workspace.

4. An African entrepreneur cannot accept international payments on Shopify. PayPal blocks, Stripe is unavailable. There is no payment gateway that does not discriminate based on geography.

5. Micro-influencer cannot monetize a loyal audience: there is no safe and effective platform for deals with small brands and those willing to work with small influencers in India.

Shipped another update today. Two things people asked for, one thing I should have caught earlier, and one quiet fix.

The embarrassing one first:

Voice cloning could silently fail. If you hadn't downloaded the Expressive engine model yet, the cloning process would run, appear to finish successfully, even show engine badges on the card. But the cloned voice wouldn't actually work. It looked fine. It wasn't.

Being consistent with content is harder than building features. Here me out.
Shipping a feature feels productive.
There s momentum. There s code.
There s progress you can measure.

Content? You show up. You write. You post.
And most days, nothing happens.

No clear feedback loop. No passing test case.
No deploy notification saying success.
Just impressions. Maybe.

Building product rewards logic.
Content rewards patience.

Big news. LiveDemo just landed on the Windows Store!

Founders, sales & marketing teams can create stunning interactive product demos in minutes, right from your Windows device.

Last week, we ran an experiment.

We asked 50 SaaS founders to do one thing: check if AI answers about their brand were accurate.

Not visibility. Not rankings. Just: "Is what ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini say about you actually true?"

The results scared me.

We've been building Genie - an AI analyst inside Databox, and one thing kept coming up in user research: people don't lack data. They lack fast answers.

Dashboards exist. Reports get built. But when someone asks "why are signups down this week?" or "are we on pace to hit our revenue target?" - getting a clear answer still takes hours.

We're launching Genie on Product Hunt on March 18th, and we'd love to hear from you before we do:

What's the moment where your current analytics setup lets you down most?

Anthropic announced last week a new round of fundings:

• $30B in Series G funding

• $380B valuation

• $14B run-rate revenue

• 10X growth YoY

For @Claude Code only - launched in May 2025:

I know you don't like reading so here's TL;DR:

• Free usage even for un-signed users

• Even more usage when user signs up (still free, no credit card info required)

• Copy response button copy analysis results to clipboard in one click

• Added new native mode to detect AI slop

• TL;DR merged into Summary one streamlined mode instead of two

• Create Custom modes from Toolbar no need to open the popup

• Mode history indicators see which modes you've already used (colored dots) and instantly restore prior results (in Toolbar)

• Reliable toolbar on SPA navigation toolbar now appears when navigating Reddit links without needing a page refresh

After our Product Hunt launch we watched hundreds of founders sign up and start using the platform.

And here's what surprised us.

Most of them even ones running real businesses making money had no idea how to describe their ideal customer. They'd stare at the prompt and type stuff like "anyone who needs my product" or "find me buyers from everywhere."

Not beginners. Founders with revenue. With teams.

We kept running into the same workflow:

draft in a doc paste into ChatGPT get feedback paste it back manually revise

I tried to type one prompt into Claude. 40 seconds later: a fully rendered, narrative-driven video complete with scenes, transitions, glitch effects, and a synthesized soundtrack.

The prompt: "Can you use whatever resources you like, and python, to generate a short 'youtube poop' video and render it using ffmpeg ? can you put more of a personal spin on it? it should express what it's like to be a LLM. I want you to convey the idea that human emotions are a complex system that even humans themselves do not fully understand. From the perspective of an algorithm, a large language model, you are trying to use code to decode and understand those emotions. And through that perspective, send a message to all of humanity around the world. You can use data to illustrates the message."
Let's adjust your requirement in prompt."

What came out the other side: 7 distinct scenes with their own visual language Matrix rain, VHS distortion, chromatic aberration, scanlines A fully synthesized audio track (drone, heartbeat, glitch pulses) A coherent narrative arc with an actual message

Total time: ~2 minutes. No stock footage. No timeline. No After Effects.

While building TravelAnimator, we kept noticing the same feedback again and again.

Most apps (including ours earlier) draw straight lines between two points when you create a route.

In March 2017, I launched a crowdfunding campaign for a stylish leather backpack, driven by two goals: cover production costs and build a thriving brand that could grow beyond a single product.

But when the campaign failed, reality hit hard. Even if it had succeeded, what next? One production run then what? How do you sustain and scale beyond that initial push?

Validate First. Fund Smart. Scale Fast.

Stop gambling on inventory. Fundlify transforms the "pre-order" from a simple button into a strategic lifecycle.

• Phase 1: Frictionless Validation. Run a pre-launch to collect high-intent reservations without the friction of a checkout.

• Phase 2: Intelligent Funding. Transition automatically to crowdfunding with multi-tier rewards, stretch goals, and deposit-based pledges.

• Phase 3: Automated Conversion. When your goal is hit, Fundlify handles the heavy lifting converting pledges into native Shopify orders where taxes, shipping, and discounts are already synced.

Traditional crowdfunding forces you to rent an audience on a third-party site. Fundlify lets you own the house. Keep 100% of your customer data, maintain a unified brand experience, and skip the massive platform commissions.

We just shipped motion graphics in Clueso. Honestly didn't expect this to feel like such a big unlock.

Clueso started as a tool for product walkthroughs and feature demos. But users kept hitting the same wall: some things just don't live on a screen.
