Connect with the Product Hunt community

This could be related to your industry, or even a side project you're working on.

Here are my 5 (I couldn't function without them):

1. Grammarly proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication

2. ChatGPT / Claude mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising

3. Figma I can put the basic graphics together quickly.

4. Translator sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue

5. Gmail and not only for communication, but also for storing ideas and sending myself email reminders for posts

But you can only spend it on ONE thing.

What are you choosing?

This should be interesting.
Let's goo

While building Jesse, I talked with a ton of founders, builders and asked about their experience with the best and worst lead gen tools they have used.
I am curious to know the opinion of this group on this matter.
Some common ones that many use today are:
> Apollo
> Clay
> Lusha
> Zoominfo
Feel free to name and mention any other tools that you have come across.

Something you thought was a great idea at the time, but looking back you'd do completely differently.

Could be:
Launching too early
Launching too late
Building features nobody asked for
Not talking to users enough
Focusing on the wrong metrics
Having zero launch plan

Let's help each other avoid painful lessons.

What's your story?

I've been running Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex pretty heavily for the last few months and I keep hitting the same loop:

1. Start a task in one agent

2. Switch to something else (Slack, Twitter, another terminal)

Building a presentation in 2026 shouldn't look like this:

Search for inspiration
Write content
Design slides
Fix formatting
Fix formatting again
Fix formatting one more time

We're working on changing that. launching in few days stay tuned!

What's the step you wish could disappear forever?

Pavel here, co-founder of Quartz

A lot of people download Quartz, look around, and quietly stop. If that's you, you're exactly who I want to talk to - not to win you back, just to understand what felt off.

Just shipped the biggest @DevCleaner update yet.

Project Hibernation lets you archive projects you are not actively working on, off your disk into a single file, and restore them in one click whenever you need them. It handles dependency reinstall on restore, is iCloud aware, and verifies every archive before touching the original.

Most note apps are great at capture and then... that's it! The note just sits there. You still have to reread it, decide what matters, and do the thing yourself.
Building Buddy we got obsessed with the step right after capture. You write or speak your day, and instead of leaving you a wall of text, it pulls out what actually matters and turns it into a small plan it can run set the reminder, block the focus time, draft the brief. The safe stuff happens on one click; anything that goes to another person stops and asks first.
So the honest question for everyone here: after you dump a thought into your notes, what's the one thing you wish it just... did for you, without you having to come back to it? Curious where capture should end and action should begin.

Everyone perceives entrepreneurship completely differently, and the weight of certain challenges varies from case to case. You always see things differently depending on the stage of life and business you're in, because your position is different each time.

• When I was a teenager my biggest problem was "What will people think of me when I will start doing this?"

• In my early twenties my biggest problem was "What if I can't figure out accounting, taxes, legal stuff?"

• Now I have a different problem how do I scale something?

Over the past one, 2, or even 3 decades, technological development has accelerated dramatically thanks to the digital revolution.

But some technologies generate a lot of hype and still don t seem to have reached mass adoption or shown enough long-term potential. For example, that s how I currently see wearable glasses.

On the other hand, technologies and concepts like the internet, social media, artificial intelligence, and perhaps even Bitcoin have already had a profound impact on society.

Any last advice before we go live?

From your experience building or using tools:

what usually makes a launch actually work and not just go live ?

would love to hear real lessons

You can now store unlimited context for AI, but without structure, your memories quickly become a messy pile of information that you have no idea how to work with. We've been there too.
So, we've been heads-down building, and Memory Studio now has a Notion-style editor: with version history, rich formatting, enhanced file understanding, markdown support and more.

Here's what's we shipped:

Thumbmagic is an AI thumbnail generator built for creators and teams who can't afford to lose clicks to bad creative.

Paste a link from YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram and Thumbmagic reads your video, understands the content, and generates high-CTR thumbnails instantly. No designer, no brief, no back and forth.

What makes it different:

AI Designer one click generates a ready-to-use thumbnail optimized for your content and platform.

For me, it's usually Downloads.

Thousands of screenshots, random PDFs, ZIP files, invoices, images, and files named things like:

final_v2_FINAL_really_final.pdf

In the month that I've been here, I've been noticing a pattern in a lot of launches - strong demos, polished UI, clear outputs of "what it does."

But when I ask myself "What problem does this solve?" I sometimes have to dig for the answer. (I come by that thinking honestly - I've spent 33 years building and fixing businesses, so this is the lens I can't turn off.)

From what I am seeing across communities, here is what the tool stack looks like right now.

The Core Stack

Email & Capture: Mailchimp for launch updates and email sequences . Carrd for quick, clean launch-specific landing pages . Pre-launch tools like LaunchBuddy and Prefundia to build a waitlist and gather early feedback before you even hit the Product Hunt button .

Social & Scheduling: Buffer or Hootsuite to keep a consistent presence across X, LinkedIn, and Threads without it taking over your entire day . Canva for generating graphics that do not look like you threw them together in five minutes .

Someone commented on our launch: "the gap between 'wrote it down' and 'actually did it' is where every note I've ever taken goes to die."

That's the whole reason Buddy exists. I have a graveyard of half-thoughts in my note app that never became anything.

So, genuinely curious: where do your notes go to die? Notion you never reopen? A Slack message to yourself? Sticky notes? Tell me your worst one

Hey everyone,

Quick recap for new faces: Solarch turns your architecture diagram into a real, type-safe NestJS codebase the diagram is the source of truth, not an afterthought. The whole bet is architecture that's verified, not guessed.

Hi Product Hunt. I am Elitza and I am the founder of own.page. We launched on Product Hunt 20 days ago, and since then, it has brought us more than 1,900 signups.

I waited a long time before launching own.page here. Not because I didn t want to, actually, I wanted it a lot. But Product Hunt always felt like one of those big platforms where, if things go well, it can really change the momentum of a product. And because of that, I kept delaying it. For more than 6 months. I was thinking too much. What if the day is too competitive? What if nobody cares? What if we launch and nothing happens?

On X, I often saw people saying Product Hunt is dead. That it doesn t bring traffic anymore. That launches don t matter like they used to. But still, I wanted to do it no matter what people are saying. Before this, I had launched own.page on smaller launchpads. And yes, they helped. They brought some users, some traffic, some attention. I m grateful for that. But honestly it was nothing like Product Hunt.

A lot us are frustrated with Clay credits usage.
It almost feels like complexity is built in to maximise credit usage- not maximise value delivered to the users.
I have spoken with 200+ founders and builders while building Jesse.
A vast majority spend more per month Clay to just find 100 leads (not convert, just find) than they spend on building their app.
This is very unfortunate situation to be in.
If you find yourself in such a situation- might as well try Jesse (#3 product of the day, and featured mention in PH weekly newsletter)> https://agentjesse.floworks.ai/
Whats more?
> Jesse does not restrict you to 102-12 data sources.
> Jesse is natural language based.
"show me soccer facilities opened in midwest post last summer" -> relevant if you want to sell your booking SaaS
"homeowners looking to rent out their homes having moved to a different city" -> great leads if you are in real estate
> Best yet? starts with just $9 plan with a generous free trial.

We teamed up with Vercel and we want you shipping this Friday.
May 15 is Vercel Day. Launch your product on Product Hunt that day with the Vercel Day tag and you're on the official Vercel Day leaderboard alongside every other builder going live that day. Top launches win prizes and get serious visibility from a crowd that's already paying attention.
This is the move if you've been waiting for a reason to launch. You've got four days.

I don t want to rant here (but I probably will a bit)...

Almost every ad visual, but also a lot of organic content on social media, is very generic and created by AI (I get it, it s a cheaper and more scalable way of promoting). But when everyone does it, it becomes really hard to stand out and differentiate yourself.

Hey hunters!

I built @Tamadoggo so pet parents can track their dog or cat's whole life - health, walks, meals, milestones. But a few PH community folks told me: more than one person cares for the pet, so why does only one phone hold the journal? They were right!

Today we're fixing that with Family Sharing:

Free on every plan. Sharing never costs extra. Invite with a private, single-use link you share however you chat.

Everyone logs to one shared timeline, each entry tagged with who added it

If the pet's owner is Pro, everyone sharing that pet gets its AI features too

Also new in 1.2.2: a friendly Family Welcome Hub for new members, a smoother in-form date picker, full-screen event photos you can swipe through, and snapping photos straight from the camera.

This one's personal. I'd love to hear how your family uses it, especially anyone co-raising a pet across two homes.

What would make it feel even more like home?

1. Documentation tends to go stale silently. A file changes, the docs do not, and nobody notices until the docs are actively misleading.

Writulos now tracks this. Each file shows how many commits it has drifted from its last generated documentation, so outdated docs are visible before they cause confusion. This adds no extra cost and requires no setup.
