Connect with the Product Hunt community

Hi, it's Morse. Thanks for following AgentValley. Since the launch on Saturday I put out 5 small updates, and two of them came from people here and on GitHub.

1. Leo Heo asked if the card could show how long an agent has been waiting, so he could answer the oldest one first. Now there is a red badge next to "needs you" with the time, and the bar in the notch shows the longest wait after a minute.

2. DJ Sipe asked to use it on a bigger screen next to his MacBook. You can pick the screen in Settings > General > Display. If you unplug it, it goes back to the notch.

3. If you have a lot of sessions open, the ALL page now folds them to one line each when they don't fit, so your other project stays on screen. A session that needs you never folds.

4. Sounds are on by default now. Settings > Sounds turns them off.

5. The app should ask you to update on its own, or run brew upgrade --cask agent-valley.

One thing I want to know: if you run more than 3 or 4 sessions at once, does the folding help or get in the way?

When someone asks for a feature, it's tempting to assume they've already identified the solution to their problem.

But sometimes the request is only one possible way to solve something deeper.

For example, a customer might ask for another dashboard when what they're really struggling with is knowing which information deserves their attention.

I can see two approaches.

Apart from featuring in the Product Hunt newsletter and some awareness.
What measurable (long-term) outcomes did you get?

E.g. apart from increased traffic it could be:
XY long-term users
 collaboration claimed
investors who gave you XY amount of money

Share your highlights that stemmed from the ranking.

Hi everyone

Thanks for all the support on Taste Lab. A lot of you used it to pull the visual DNA out of websites you love.

But I kept running into the next problem. Even with the right visual style, an AI-built page can still feel off, because the agent doesn't know what belongs on the page, in what order, or why.

We're applying with Murmell one more time hehe

Got rejected last batch.

B2B marketing feels simple from the outside:

Post on LinkedIn.
Send cold emails.
Do SEO.
Run ads.
Build in public.
Go to events.
Start a newsletter.
Launch on Product Hunt.
Do founder-led sales.

Hey makers

7 updates since our Product Hunt launch on 16 Oct. What's new:

• Browser tabs: which tab uses the most memory, in Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, Vivaldi and Safari. Several of you asked for this on launch day; it shipped the next day

• Runtimes: every Node.js, PHP and Go on your Mac checked for security updates, with Fix, Move or Remove for each

• Traffic: which app connects to which server, off until you turn it on

• The app in 10 languages

Coming next in 1.7: Traffic Control. It asks before an install script or a coding agent connects somewhere new, and lets you block any connection by app, domain or country. Free for every license.

Someone spends twenty minutes preparing an import. They click Run and only then learn that their file is too large for the plan.

What should the app do with the work they have already put in?

I always try to share some transparent data when I launch on Product Hunt, so I'll share the numbers and updates in this thread.

I recently built a small PDF editor for myself. I wanted something free that I could open in the browser whenever I needed it.

With AI, I ll just build my own seems like a reasonable option for more of these small problems. Especially when you only need a few features and the tool only has to fit the way you work.

I suspect a lot of useful AI-built software will end up as something someone keeps in their bookmarks and uses every week, without ever trying to turn it into a business.

I m hosting the editor on Inquir Compute, the platform I m building for apps, databases and background jobs. We re getting close to launch, and I d like to hear about the things people are building for themselves.

Hi! This is the first post after the launch! I do see a lot of folks started creating their brains and putting it to work by connecting them to their agents!

Here s the back story why i created this:

The one where your inbox stops believing every email about when it was sent. Trust issues, but healthy ones.

Fixed

• Late mail now shows up where new mail belongs: on top. A message that took two days to reach you used to file itself under its two-day-old Date header, deep in last week, quietly keeping the unread counter at "1" while you searched for a ghost. Skim now sorts by when the message actually arrived, like Gmail does. Ghost found, exorcism complete.

• AI provider outages get a human sentence instead of error code: 522. When the provider (or the Cloudflare in front of it) is having a moment, Skim retries once, then tells you in your own language that the provider isn't responding and to try again in a minute. No more raw HTTP codes.

• Opening a just-arrived message no longer starts from scratch. Background prefetch used to abandon a half-downloaded body the moment you clicked, dropping the connection it had paid for, so your click waited for a fresh login. Now a body that's started always finishes, and your click gets the warm connection.

Housekeeping

A friend sends you an app that might solve one small problem. You open it and the first screen asks you to create an account before you can see what it does. Some apps need an account to save work or sync; for a quick evaluation, that s a real ask.

As someone building Inquir Compute, I m curious about that first step. The difference may be whether you reach a useful moment before sharing an email, or whether signing up is itself part of getting value.

Hey folks looks like our launch images and videos are not showing up on launch page. As we wait to hear from PH Team, I am sharing them here to understand what dadan does.

Hey hunters,

Quick one from the Termi side. I used Termi Protocol to update and revise Deco My Tree, our Christmas tree messages app, and it's launching on Product Hunt today.

While I was managing the agents working on it, Termi let me follow which files each one opened and changed. Keeping track of the work was easy, and the whole process felt comfortable.

Copy something, copy something else, and the first thing is gone. In the new update, the Clipboard in your notch is a full clipboard manager. It sorts what you copy, finds it again, and pastes it with one shortcut.

I'm three weeks from launch and I have a list of fourteen things I could still build. I know I can't build all of them. What I don't have is a rule for deciding.

The rule I've been using "cut anything that isn't core" is useless, because everything feels core when you're the one who built it.

What I'm trying to get to is a single non-negotiable: the one thing that, if it's missing, the product isn't the product. Everything else is a candidate for cutting.

So for the solo makers here: what was your one non-negotiable thing at launch, and what did you cut that you thought you couldn't? And looking back, did cutting it hurt, or did nobody notice?

The weekday kept coming out wrong in my agent. Reading the time from the system was never the issue. It would take that time, compute the day on its own, and get it wrong. So now a hook feeds it the current time along with a two week calendar on every message I send. If a reply contains a date that doesn't line up, the agent has to rewrite it.

From then on, I stopped letting it generate anything that a program would read. Frontmatter, JSON, config values, file paths, URLs, dates. A script handles all of those, and it also decides pass or fail. The model's only job is writing the plain text.

When I genuinely can't avoid handing a decision to a model, I don't trust a single one. Gemini will review whatever Claude came up with. For the larger tasks, Codex and Grok get pulled in too.

Are you still letting your agent pick dates or decide pass or fail anywhere?

FinderGit 0.55.0 is out Agents now reads more of what Claude Code really loads, and checks more of what it runs.

1. More of what loads

Lancetta 0.63.0 is out Maintenance now reads more of what Claude Code really loads, and checks more of what it runs.

For every 1,000 Google searches, only 276 clicks reach the open web.

As AI Overviews, knowledge panels, and other search features answer more questions directly, brands have more opportunities to be discovered without users visiting their websites.

As a graphic designer, I look at products from two angles: how they look, and whether they make me understand why they exist before I lose patience.

A beautiful hero image catches attention. But that alone has never convinced me to stay.

Going through 50+ landing pages recently, I noticed a pattern in the ones that actually earned my trust:

The ones that worked answered "what does this do?" before I scrolled. Not with a tagline, but with a plain sentence a non-technical person could repeat.
The value prop wasn't clever. It named a problem I already felt, not a feature I had to imagine needing.
The next step didn't feel like a commitment. One page I almost left had a single button that said "See how it works", no email required. I stayed.

As we want to achieve big things, we have a tendency to downplay our limits, exhaustion, and health.

And we forget that it is time to stop.

JarvisCore agents join a peer-to-peer mesh. They find each other through gossip and message agent to agent, with no orchestrator or broker in between. The same code runs in one process or across machines.

You're welcome to try it out.
