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

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)

For me, it's usually Downloads.

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

What a day!

Yesterday, Honestly launched on Product Hunt and finished with 480 upvotes and 130 comments, placing us among the top products of the day.

We ultimately finished 2nd and, more importantly, we had the opportunity to share our vision with thousands of founders, marketers, and product builders who believe customer feedback should be honest and accessible.

We are thankful beyond words for the support we received

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.

If you ve been following along and want to support us, we d really appreciate a GitHub star:

A repo reaching a working state once is useful.

But the real value comes when that working state can be repeated by the next person, on the next machine, or in the next automation run.

We're partnering with Vercel to bring Vercel Day back to the leaderboard

If you're building on Vercel, now is the time to get ready to launch. Schedule your product for June 16th, add the tag vercel-day to your launch, and you're in.

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.
What are you building? Drop it below

In other words... what are your capabilities?

What are your multi-project management skills?

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.

People often say that "the genie is already out of the bottle" and can't be put back in.

But the news that Anthropic made its latest model unavailable across Europe shows how control over technology, or the lack of ownership of it, can completely reshape the playing field.

Yesterday, we won Product of the Day!

More than the ranking, we got to share Upstream with hundreds of founders, marketers, and product builders. That meant everything.

People spend a lot of time preparing for a product launch, but after every campaign, they usually look back and think, "We could have done this better."

Not because they didn't prepare, but because there were things they simply didn't know beforehand.

There are a lot of products being hunted, launched, and competing for attention here.

But I still see some makers missing the very basics.

I mainly follow the principle of "reversibility".

EG. An archived newsletter or a starred investor email can be always reversed.

If ai is right -> makes my life easier

I got feedback from a PingPrompt user that stuck with me.

He said PingPrompt helps make prompts stronger, richer and more focused.

Hey everyone,

We won Product of the Day. thank you so much to everyone who supported, upvoted, commented, tested Goldfish, and gave us feedback

I refer to how the UK banned social media for teenagers under 16.

The funny moment was when the BBC News moderator asked the student: How much screen time does she have on the weekend (9 hours) and What will she do with her free time now? (Staring at the wall.)

AI is incredibly good, I d even say almost perfect.

And for many people, that uniformity of perfect templates is starting to feel annoying.

There are founders you d love to NOT work for. And then there are founders whose company you wouldn t want to leave, no matter what.

A big part of that comes down to people, their values, and their character.

And often, that starts with the founder.

It's here. Vercel Day is live today on Product Hunt.

750+ products launched with the vercel-day tag everything from AI coding tools to desktop assistants to one app that simulates fMRI data on your pitch deck. The range is wild.

A lot of people try to raise funding before they even begin.

And then sometimes I read those zero to hero stories. (Maybe they re a bit "polished" by the media to have publicity.)

In any case, building products has become much easier from a technical perspective, which also makes it cheaper especially for software startups.

Changes:

- Added root locations path to address bar for easy drive / location switching, especially useful in split-view mode

- Locations path can be added to favorites and tagged

More control over how your charts look

Honestly, I sometimes feel a bit of internal pressure or even fear that if I miss something, it will be hard to get back into work, especially because I m strongly embedded in tech.

And you can see it when you disconnect for 2 or 3 days and don t follow the news, you feel mentally better, but at the same time you start losing that sense of overview that feels quite important for your career.
