14-year-old builds Tinder for News 📰💕

Alex is a 14-year-old maker from Ireland and has been learning to code for a year. He had an idea for a news app, which he's been building during the summer vacation weeks. On Sunday, he shared it with the Product Hunt community.

Alex's Tinder-style news app was Sunday's #1 product. 🏆

Swiipe News turns the day's headline into a game: swipe left to dismiss an article, swipe right to save it for later, and tap to read it. It feels like Tinder, where you control your own destiny. You can choose from over 50 news sources, and filter the headlines by emoji-based categories.

In his updated maker comment, Alex says that the positive reception by the community has inspired him to continue working on Swiipe and continue pursuing his new career. 🙏

We asked 34 customers what Viktor does for them. Not one said chatbot.

They kept using words like colleague, coworker, team member. One CEO called it the glue holding their e-commerce business together, which is a lot, but also… you see why. It lives in Slack and plugs into 3,000+ tools, so instead of jumping between tabs, you just ask for the thing. Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.

It has already hit top 5 on Product Hunt with 130 comments, is SOC 2 certified, and your data does not train models.

One user said it was the first time AI felt like a real coworker, which is either exciting or slightly concerning depending on your week.
