Bluesky is so back?

Bluesky, the social media platform that feels like Twitter's cooler, ad-free cousin, has been on a wild ride since the 2024 U.S. presidential election. In just a week, it welcomed about 1 million new users, bumping its total from 13 million to 15 million.

What's driving this exodus? Many are jumping ship from X (formerly Twitter) due to X CEO Elon Musk's vocal support for U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump. Notable departures include The Guardian and journalist Don Lemon, both of whom cited concerns over content moderation and a surge in misinformation on X.

Despite the buzz, Bluesky's numbers are still modest compared to heavyweights like Meta's Threads, boasting 275 million users, and X's 600 million. But with its ad-free, user-controlled vibe, Bluesky is becoming the go-to for those nostalgic for the early days of Twitter.

Our take: It's the classic tale of users seeking greener pastures. Bluesky's growth spurt is impressive, but the real test will be maintaining momentum and carving out a unique space in the crowded social media landscape. It still doesn’t have that Zeitgeist-y edge that X / Twitter does.

Text neck, begone 🪄

A spotlight on launches that are a bit off-the-beaten track.

64x24: A panoramic camera for iPhone, inspired by the classic XPan.

65 x 24 takes your iPhone’s camera and turns it into a panoramic camera in the same vein as the iconic Hasselblad XPan. It uses the same 65:24 aspect ratio and comes with a bunch of features behind a paywall, including exposure edits.

The Login Game: Login page that requires you to follow ridiculous rules.

One question for whoever made this product: who hurt you? The Login Game is exactly what it sounds like — it’s a game built around trying to log in to a web app. Each option presents a more ridiculous outcome while you stumble around trying to figure out the perfect routine.

Neck Life: Fix Your Posture with Airpods

NeckLife uses your Airpods to monitor your neck posture in real-time, effectively detecting when your head leans forward. Get alerts when your posture slips, and track your history to build healthy habits. Text neck, begone!

How to Detect AI Content with Keystroke Tracking

By Mathew Hardy, CTO and Co-Founder of Roundtable
 
Each year, companies spend billions of dollars gathering survey data to guide product decisions. However, a growing percentage of this data is AI-generated. This bad data can lead to misguided decisions and cost companies billions.
 
Unfortunately, a large body of research has shown that identifying AI content isn’t reliable. At Roundtable, we discovered a different approach: keystroke tracking. After collecting millions of responses for our survey data-cleaning API, we noticed that AI and human-generated responses generate text in fundamentally different ways. Here's what we found...
 
 

How an Initially Failed PH Launch Turned Around to Get Us 850+ Paid Subscribers

By Anton Osika, Founder of Lovable, an AI fullstack engineer

In the end it went well — we got 500k+ impressions, 16k signups, 850 paying users (5%, higher conversion than expected for this), and 5.0/5.0 stars with 75+ reviews on Product Hunt. Out of these, I think the user interviews following launch were most valuable...
