This newsletter was brought to you byWispr FlowAmazon, reddit, and YouTube 10 years ago 👀
Over the weekend a fun new website came out that lets you see what was happening on the internet exactly 10 years ago.
So much has changed since August 1st, 2007. Thousands were lining up to buy the first iPhone, George W. Bush was in the White House, YouTube's front page was promoting Superbad, Amazon was selling books, and IMDb was hiring their first designer.
Meanwhile, sites like Hacker News and reddit[1] haven't changed much.

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.
