RIP 2016 📱😪

Sadly, we lost a lot of wonderful and talented people this year - Prince, David Bowie, Mohammad Ali, Carrier Fisher, George Michael. We are thankful for all they contributed to the world.

Much like the cycle of life, apps also have a lifecycle - so we wanted to pay our respect to some of the apps that we said good-bye to in 2016 and thank the teams that introduced them into the world:

• Mailbox and Sunrise, you will NEVER be forgotten
• Meerkat, your spirit lives on 🏠🎉
• Stolen and Famous, in your 15 minutes you lived a lifetime
• Facebook Paper and Notify, we wish we knew you better
• Tay, your sister Zo has a lot to live up to
• Washio the City needs you please come back

ThinkUp, Talkshow, Summize, Blab, Parse!! 2016 has not been kind. Apps can be replaced, MagSafe alternatives can be found, but we will never ever get over your loss; rest in peace 3.5mm Headphone Jack.

RIP 2016 😭

Are you really still typing?

Full disclosure: Wispr Flow is the AI dictation tool most of us at Product Hunt (use we still have a few holdout typers, what romantics). Hold a key, talk, and clean text drops straight into whatever app you're already in — Slack, email, Notion, your IDE, wherever your cursor lives. No switching windows. No copy-paste ritual. Just say the thing – yes, you can whisper it – and even your most run-on sentences will be turned into polished writing at 4x the speed of typing.
