Today’s Daily Digest was crafted by Product Hunt and sponsored by our friends at Embroker.

Want to cross something quick off your to-do list today? Insure your business.

The Embroker Startup Program launched last August with a suite of proprietary insurance policies, custom built for technology companies. More specifically, they're perfect for startups, as business insurance can be a common oversight for new founders. Embroker currently works with over 1,000 venture-backed startups on their insurance program, digitizing the entire business insurance process.

How it works: Embroker's technology allows you to purchase Director's & Officers, Employment Practices, Employment Practices Liability, Errors and Omissions and Cyber coverage online in minutes. Where alternatives can take weeks to get you a quote (and require you to submit sensitive financial documents like cap tables), you can get a quote and secure coverage immediately with Embroker.

Also, Embroker has advisors who specialize in helping startup founders navigate the (sometimes confusing) policy journey as your startup grows from inception to IPO. 🙌

“Our new investors require D&O insurance, which was turning out to be a multi-month process with five digit annual premium. Yesterday I saw that Embroker does D&O — two minutes later and we have D&O insurance for half the price. Mind blown. This is the world I want to live in!!!” - Andrew Wyatt, Co Founder at CALA

Pro tip: Embroker's customized coverage will also save you an average of 20 percent in costs.

Two years ago, the team at More Labs launched Morning Recovery with a science-based approach to treating hangovers. How? Morning Recovery uses DHM, a liver-boosting supplement, to break down alcoholic toxins and help you bounce back after a night of drinking. 🍹

What folks thought of their initial launch on Product Hunt:

“You have no idea how much I need this, this morning.” - Erwin

“As an entrepreneur in the alcohol industry, I'm definitely going to check this out.” - Brad

It's a great product in a cute bottle that's easy to down before a night of drinking/before bed. Has definitely helped with my hangovers and will continue to use.” - Emily

Now, More Labs is back with a new science-backed product — Liquid Focus.

The company describes Liquid Focus is a safer, healthier alternative to focus drugs like Adderall. The liquid dietary supplement was developed by an ex-FDA scientist, and is made with natural and FDA compliant ingredients.

What it's not: an energy drink. 💥

Unlike energy drinks, it's not loaded with caffeine or sugar. Unlike Adderall, its ingredients won't create dependency. Oh, and it's grapefruit-flavored.

Some initial comments from the community:

“ I can’t wait to try and add this into my rotation. I travel a lot and constantly live in perpetual jet lag.” - Alex

“This would be super amazing if it works since I've always been looking for something that doesn't give coffee breath but is stronger than tea.” - Mark

“I’m pretty much coffee addicted, so excited to try something that gives more stable focus without the jitters!” - Vera

More Labs isn’t the only company producing cognitive-enhancing beverages. Do your research before consumption. And check out these other unconventional drinks:

😌 Kin Euphorics for the buzz without the alcohol

💧 Liquid Death Mountain Water for canned water

💦 Recess for sparkling water with adaptogens in a pretty can

🥤 Ugly Drinks for a flavored sparkling water subscription

🌱 DRAM for Lemongrass CBD sparkling water

The next frontier of *influencers* may crop up in an unexpected place: Quora.

Yesterday, Find Better Questions launched on Product Hunt to help marketers answer Quora’s best questions and generate traffic. As Quora has over 15 million questions on its site, you could spend hours searching for the best question. This takes care of that in minutes.

How Find Better Questions works: You simply insert a Quora URL (like quora.com/topic/Product-Hunt) and the tool will automatically give you a list of matching questions along with stats for weekly views and followers.

And as it turns out, people really needed this tool. From the comments:

“One of the most valuable additions to any Quora marketing toolkit” - Alex

“Already using it for OpenPhone. Previous methods involved a lot of manual searches. This is exactly what we've been looking for.” - Daryna

“This is the tool I never knew I needed” - Mason

Give it a whirl and let us know what you think of it over here.

For those looking for other types of “Quora’s” there’s a Q&A site for everything:

🎬 Tumbleweed is Quora for the news (in video)
📝 Writtens is Quora for writers
👀 Convoz is Quora for celebrities (also in video)
🙌 Symphosis is Quora for the startup world
💪 Stack Overflow for Teams is Quora with just your teammates

A bit of internet levity to start your week: the anti-Bitly. Last week, Make My Link Longer launched on Product Hunt to do exactly what you think — make URL links longer.

While services like Bitly already exist to make your links clean and short, why not make your links longer?

Some potential use cases:

• Long URLs can make your references section longer in a school essay
• Long URLs will inspire readers will click a link in your email footer
• Long URLs take up unnecessary whitespace on posters, flyers and on-sheeters

Here's what the community had to say about the unconventional tool:

“Finally, a tool that helps me overcome my crippling insecurity about small, short links.” - John

“This is exactly what i didn't know i needed.” - Wotjek

“There are so many characters on the screen and bytes in the cloud just sitting around without any reason. What if we lift them up on the podium and crown as the great kings of sweet noise.” - Nik

If you're sticking to short URLs for now, here are a few tools to try out:

🔗 Rebrandly
🔗 Linkmoji
🔗 Short Menu
🔗 Goat
🔗 LinkFox

Today’s Daily Digest was crafted by Product Hunt and sponsored by our friends at Blockstack.

We're at the beginning of an important shift happening in tech. It's an era where users no longer have to trust the companies or developers that make the applications they use.

Instead, users can demand apps that allow them to own their own identities and their data. They can choose apps that are private by default and respect fundamental digital rights.

If you’ve been following our work with Blockstack, you know dApps represent a promising alternative to centralized counterparts. After countless breaches, hacks, and large-scale mistakes, people are tired of being asked to trust companies and apps with sensitive, personal data.

In addition to Blockstack’s ongoing App Mining program, the company is hosting a ‘Can’t Be Evil’ contest to encourage new dApp development for this type of work. There is over $15K up for grabs, as well as Sonos speakers and more prizes.

Some inspiration for getting started:

Google helped government spy on reporters, so Justin made Graphite Docs 🔎

Argentina faces corrupt elections, so Santi built Democracy.earth 🇦🇷

Patreon is censoring creators, so Raphael is working on BitPatron 🙌

Facebook lost (basically) everyone’s data, so Alex built Debut 👀

iCloud and Facebook leaked your private photos, so Tiago built Recall 📸

All of these apps are built with Blockstack’s decentralized computing network and secured with the blockchain. With these apps, you are the API, and can choose when, where, and what form of access you provide. Your data is always yours and you take it wherever you go, including to new apps.

You can be a part of this critical time in Internet history by building a Blockstack app or entering the contest here. Any new Blockstack app is an eligible entry.

Remember YikYak? What about Secret?

Both social networking apps became popular in 2014 for their anonymous nature, sparking a wave of anonymous apps in their wake. 💬

With YikYak, students could discreetly communicate (and sometimes gossip) with others nearby. It took off like crazy in universities in America. At one point, investors valued Yik Yak at $400M. In 2017, it shut down.

Secret was all about 'sharing secretly' and raised $35M in its prime. Amid controversy, the app shut down shortly after a major redesign in 2015 (which looked very similar to YikYak).

Both apps faced heavy criticism for enabling bullying and trolling, as anonymity lends itself to bad actors, well, acting bad. 😕

This week, a new pseudo-anonymous app rocketed to #1 in the App Store just a few days after its launch. It's called YOLO, and it lets users receive and answer anonymous messages from their Snapchat followers (in the Snapchat app). Users can then share responses instantly in their Snap stories.

The app was built on top of Snap Kit, and it's reportedly taking off with teens (a group still heavily using Snapchat). But, as we've seen, anonymous apps have historically gone viral with teens, only to crash and burn due to gossip and bullying.

The creators of YOLO are Gregoire Henrion and Clément Raffenoux, who previously co-founded Mindie. Mindie let users share soundtracked video clips to their Snapchat stories and was acquired by Shots Studios in 2016.

Time will tell if YOLO can maintain its momentum, and you can tell us what you think of the app (non-anonymously) here.

For more anonymity, you can check out October, which we wrote about back in November.

Yesterday Google held its annual (giant) developer conference Google I/O, where the company demoed all the products it's been working on.

There was a big emphasis on privacy — Chrome will reportedly implement anti-fingerprinting tech and Incognito Mode will soon be available with Google Maps. The company also pulled back the curtain on a slew of new products that are available now:

📱Google Pixel 3a is Google's new 'affordable' smartphone (it's $399). The phone will also be available (for the first time ever) from carriers other than Verizon, possibly swaying buyers away from Samsung Galaxy devices and iPhones.

📸Google Lens, the company's image recognition software, is now competing alongside Snap, Pinterest and others to digitize and index the real world. As of yesterday, Google Lens lets you snap a photo of a food menu to look up a dish before you order. The feature is available as an app and is also built into the cameras of Google Pixels.

🏠Nest Hub Max is Google's first smart display with a camera. It's 10 inches, and you can use it for things like video calls or home security monitoring. Google also announced it's renaming Google Home Hub to Nest Hub.

👀Google Duplex, Google's AI assistant, is coming to the web. Specifically, the AI will be focused on car bookings and movie ticketing to start.

In a truly bizarre move, Apple has quietly released its first iPhone game in over a decade. Even weirder? The game appears to by a tribute to Warren Buffett, one of Apple's largest shareholders (he currently holds between $40-$50B in stock). 💸

The game is called Warren Buffett's Paper Wizard, where players deliver newspapers (playing homage to Buffet's job as a 13-year-old boy). How to play: you get points for each newspaper that lands at its target, and lose points for hitting things like birds or cards. The game also gets gradually harder as you, the paper boy, travel from Omaha, Nebraska to Cupertino, CA (there are only two levels).

The game is more or less a clone of Atari's 1985 arcade game Paperboy, but is copyrighted and operated entirely by Apple. For context: the last iPhone game Apple developed was Texas Hold'em back when the App Store launched....in 2008. 😳

The game is free to download so give it a whirl and please tell us what you think.

Some more weird games:

💀 Ok, Dracula for kicking skulls
😛 CatchFlake for playing with your tongue
🔷 Tilespace for a puzzle
🐯 Animar for AR wild animals

Happy Monday!

Before starting your week, take a moment to check in with your mental state. On Product Hunt, we've seen a recent uptick in mental health products, as entrepreneurship lends itself to high mental and emotional strain.

This plays into a larger trend in tech: a boom in VC funding for mental health startups. Last year, several hundred million dollars were invested in mental health tech, with startups like Calm ($116M raised), Headspace ($75.2M raised), Talkspace ($56.7M raised) and Shine ($8.3M raised) at the helm.

If you're looking for *different* mental health apps, we've gone down the Product Hunt rabbit hole for alternatives that have launched within the past year:

Nao lets you chat with AI to talk about your emotions 💬

Walk helps you plan walks to get outside more 🌲

Moody helps you pinpoint the nature of your moods 📍

Replika uses AI to help you get to know yourself ☺️

Deeply is a meditation app (and connects to your Spotify!) 😌

Wellnite combines mental health counseling with treatments 💊

You Are Loved allows you to track your family and friends' mental health 👭

Trill offers an anonymous support community 💪

Mental Screening lest you self-test for common issues 🧠

Siempo turns your phone into a healthier digital experience 📱

The next Pokémon Go has arrived, and it's Harry Potter-themed. Unfortunately, the game is only available in an open beta in Australia and New Zealand right now.

Niantic Labs, the company behind Pokémon Go, is working on a similar AR-style game, dubbed Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, where players will encounter magical objects in the real world. From the comments:

“Will this happen to every major franchise? 🤔It looks pretty fun, looking forward to giving it a shot once its available elsewhere.” - Aaron

“Probably gonna be a success, but it just looks like a Pokémon Go clone with replaced graphic assets” - Tobias

The beta version of the game is now live in the App Store and Google Play in those two regions (let us know what it's like if you live there!).

This game is reportedly expected to be more complicated than Pokémon Go was, and will require collecting a mix of artifacts and skills to advance. Harry Potter superfans will also have an advantage, since they'll already be familiar with the ~wizarding world.~

A worldwide release date is yet to be announced, but it's supposedly coming sometime in 2019.
