In the past, my thoughts were often stuck in small, daily things like:
Is there any drama on Facebook today?
Did anyone like my story?
Did my crush drop any hints?
Is anyone asking me out today?
Does my best friend have new stories to tell me?

Looking back, I can t help but laugh at myself. None of these thoughts really helped me grow, yet they always gave me that emotional, butterfly-in-the-stomach feeling.

Everything started to change when I entered a phase of I don t even know who I am.
And that s when I began searching for real answers.

In about 17 days (I hope I m counting correctly), I ll be re-launching the mobile app, and now I m wondering how much the Product Hunt community will try it out.

I spend 100% of my time on a desktop on this platform.

But the majority of the population is mobile-only.

Dear Product Hunt community,

If you re reading this and you ve launched something - or you're close to launching - you are already incredibly special.

Hey everyone,

After launching Intrascope and finishing Top 10 Product of the Day, we wanted to open a quick discussion.

The biggest takeaway for us wasn t the ranking, but the conversations. We talked to teams who are already using AI daily and are struggling with scattered tools, separate API keys, lost context, and costs growing without visibility.

That s exactly why we built Intrascope: a shared AI workspace where teams bring their own API keys, work with shared context and Manifests, and keep usage and costs predictable.

Today we hit $2K MRR for our startup, Ferndesk

It took 2 months to build it to the point were we were comfortable launching
It took 3 months get to $1K MRR
It took 2.5 months get to $2K MRR

At the beginning, my reason was very simple: I needed a job and I genuinely liked the product.

I graduated with a Marketing degree, but I never felt like I belonged in agencies or similar environments. It just wasn t for me. At the same time, I didn t have much experience in tech either. So I took a leap of faith and applied for a Customer Support role, almost blindly.

The early days were tough. I had no technical background, no real understanding of how apps were built, and everything felt overwhelming. But the product itself became my motivation. I started from the most basic things: learning simple technical terms, understanding how an app is structured, and slowly exploring how everything works behind the scenes.

Many of you sometimes write to me in DMs asking how to position yourself on Product Hunt.

From the question, I always get the feeling that people want to speed up the process, publish something quickly, get a high position in the ranking of launched products and a badge. But this is a long-term game.

Building a team or want to join a startup? Let's kick 2026 off to a great start.

Founders, teams, and startups drop a comment if you're hiring.

I m curious how people here think about a calmer, signal-first feed in practice.

If you ve tried Trace already:
What felt immediately useful?
What felt missing or confusing?
What would make it something you d actually open every day?

If you haven t tried it:
What would you need to see before giving a feed like this a real shot?
What would make you bounce?

I m early and still shaping this, so honest feedback (good or bad) is genuinely helpful.

There are countless products and services out there, and I ll admit I sign up for more than I probably should. But I usually stop using them for a few common reasons:

1. It doesn t actually fit my needs

2. The company feels unreliable or opaque

3. The value doesn t justify the cost

After spending my career in enterprise software, I ve noticed that many of these issues aren t just product problems, they re relationship problems.

When companies show a bit of intention, clarity, and care, trust goes up. When they don t, everything feels disposable, even good tools.

Imagine that you are about to join a startup (before raising funds) as a part-time employee.
You are paid for work (compensation is like in any existing, well-established company in the industry, but you do not have regular employee benefits covering 401 plan, no equity, no health care plan, HO equipment fee, etc.)

You hope that after raising funds, you will become a full-time employee and receive benefits.

This summer, we made a bold decision to launch on Product Hunt. The problem? We had zero idea how to actually do it.

Well, almost zero. Our CTO @mokosiy was a massive Product Hunt fan, and his enthusiasm was our only compass. He armed us with the right stack: Cursor for code, PostHog for analytics, latest .NET and Avalonia to build the gorgeous app.

The Reality Check By August, the "Launching Soon" label we were banking on had vanished. We were flying blind. That's when the real work began. I didn't just read the 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.

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.

I'm building My Financ , which is a tool that allows you to understand your finances, and plan for the future.

I launched on PH in September, got some users and have been iterating.

In a notable shift in the AI landscape, Apple and Google have announced a multi-year collaboration under which Apple s next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google s Gemini models and cloud technology.

According to the joint statement, these models will help power upcoming Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri, expected later this year.

Thanks to everyone who reported issues - we squashed a few bugs and shipped some highly requested features:

Stats Dashboard - Weekly overview of your focus sessions

14 Achievements - Unlock badges as you progress

First day back with my co-founder Charlie, and we showed up ready to build!
Feels a bit like the first day back at school: excited, a little nervous, ready to dive in .

Trace tends to show up where workflows get complex. The parts of work that involve reasoning, coordination, and follow ups instead of simple triggers.

If you are using Trace, we want to hear how. What kind of workflow is it handling for you? What problem finally felt manageable once Trace was in the mix?

Wordware tends to appeal to people who want more control over how AI logic flows through their work. Less magic, more intention.

If Wordware is something you rely on, share how you are using it. What workflow did you build that felt worth keeping?

Learning to code or learning how to use AI is important, but what matters even more is learning how to solve problems we haven t even discovered yet.

Recently, I read an article featuring Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, where he said:
Nothing would give me more joy than if none of our engineers were coding at all, and they were just purely solving undiscovered problems.

Hey all,

15 years ago I wrote an article about the rise of a more social web for Huff Post.

Relay shows up when workflows start to feel brittle and you want something more intentional than a chain of rules. It is often about coordination, not just automation.

If Relay is part of how your work moves forward, tell us what it is responsible for. What does it orchestrate? What used to fall through the cracks?

This short demo shows how Mnexium works as a memory and context layer for AI apps.

Mnexium sits between your app and the LLM to provide:

• Persistent memory across sessions

• Inspectable & resumable chat history

• Structured user profiles and long-term context

• Automatic recall and injection no prompt juggling

The goal is simple: AI apps that remember users, stay consistent, and feel stateful by default.

Airtop often shows up when workflows need to interact with real interfaces, not just APIs. The kind of automation that feels closer to how humans actually work.

If Airtop is doing real work for you, tell us what that looks like. What task did it finally take off your plate?

Gumloop often replaces the custom but fragile scripts people were maintaining themselves. It gives structure to workflows that used to live half in code and half in someone s head.

If you are using Gumloop, share what it is doing for you now. What workflow did you finally stop babysitting?
