Our ultra-fast Daily: Three takes on new products. Yesterday’s top ten launches. That’s it.
Facebook is taking on Tinder 🔥
Facebook's announcements didn't fail to excite. Amid a massive data leak and WhatsApp founder Jan Koum's exit two nights ago, Zuckerberg managed to fire up a crowd by pulling an Oprah.
Every F8 participant received a free Oculus Go, Facebook's long-awaited $199 standalone virtual reality headset:
😮 1,000+ experiences available today for your fun
🔈 Built-in speakers for your Netflix binging
🚫 No powerful computer required
If you couldn't make it to San Jose yesterday, they're shipping right now.
Mark began with an overview of their data security efforts and the launch of Facebook's new Clear History tool, which lets you delete any browsing history that the company has collected over the years.
Afterward, he excitedly announced Facebook Dating, a soon-to-arrive dating app inside Facebook that's reminiscent of Hinge, Tinder, and Bumble and could capture intimite data about your romantic life.
Other dating apps are ready for the fight.
"Come on in. The water’s warm. Their product could be great for US/Russia relationships.” – CEO of IAC, a major Tinder stakeholder
“We were thrilled when we saw today’s news” – Bumble spokesperson
“Bring it.” – Chief Product Officer, Tinder
Facebook's dating app isn't ready yet. If you can't wait to meet your next beau, we have just the link for you.

Facebook’s next big thing…
Facebook's annual, Apple-esque developer conference kicks off today.
Last year, Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook Spaces, their version of the OASIS for you to hang out with best friends in virtual reality.
This year's F8 conference follows major controversy. Last month, Zuckerberg testified about the leak of 87 million users' data. Elon Musk even deactivated the SpaceX and Tesla Facebook page as part of the #DeleteFacebook movement.
Last night, WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum abruptly announced his departure from Facebook. WhatsApp's other co-founder, Brian Acton, left Facebook months ago. He hasn't been silent:
Startups are paying attention. Mozilla (the company behind Firefox) launched the Facebook Container, a tool to block Facebook from tracking you around the internet. 🦊
Feedless launched to block Facebook on your phone. Chrome extensions exist solely to block Facebook.
We’ll cover the biggest announcements from F8 in tonight’s Sip, an app that delivers the most important tech news every day so you can focus on work. Download it now for your iPhone or Android device.

Facebook acquired WhatsApp in 2014 for $18B. Since then, the privacy-championing WhatsApp team has reportedly clashed with Facebook's data-empowered advertising platform, trying to protect their now 1B+ users from Facebook's advertising models.

How to get a one-letter domain 😯
The most important decision for founders: finding the perfect domain. Many spend weeks agonizing over the perfect .com.
Most of the "good" domains are taken already. One squatter registered 14,962 domains in less than 24 hours. 😳
Lucky for you, not all of the good domains are taken. There are hundreds of one-letter domain names available on this site. Some even have emoji in them. 🙀
Instead of relying only on the English alphabet, these sites use characters from Unicode, a standard library of 136,755 characters from 130+ languages used in nearly every computer to display text.
You can also now buy domains directly from your terminal, or name your startup with generator that only suggests names with available domains.

NEW Gmail redesign is finally here 💌
The last time Gmail got an upgrade was 2011. Nyan Cat was Nyan Kitty, planking was still cool, and Rebecca Black's "Friday" was stuck in everybody's mind.
The redesign we've been waiting for has arrived, with cool new features:
🔒 Disappearing emails that automatically vanish after 24 hours
🗓️ Calendar integration so you can schedule coffee meetings easily
🤖 Smart replies: like autocorrect, but for entire emails
It's slowly rolling out for Gmail users, so here's a sneak peek. 👀
Google also unexpectedly dropped a new standalone task manager for iOS and Android. Our first thought: “Does the world need another to-do app?” Maybe. We’re building something in this space. 😉

BREAKING: Snap Spectacles now available 😎
Snap’s new, much-rumored Spectacles are here.
Evan Spiegel is stealing from Amazon' playbook: you can buy any of the 3 colors with free, 2-day shipping.
💧 Underwater-friendly
📸 Takes photos (not just video)
👖 Smaller case that can fit in your pocket
🤓 Prescription lenses available by default
💸 $149.99, up $20 from version 1
⚡ 4x faster syncing via WiFi
Back in 2016, Snap made waves announcing v1 of its camera glasses. Soon-to-be Spectacles owners (including the Product Hunt team!) lined up in front of one-eyed vending machines around the world to get their hands on a pair. The hype was as real as a Supreme drop.
Today's launch is far less spectacular. V2 Spectacles are available online for everyone, and the Snapbots are missing in action. Hopefully they'll make an appearance soon! 🤞
Will you buy a pair of Spectacles? Add your thoughts in the discussion.

GitHub launched a bot 🤖
GitHub isn't just for open-source projects: it's how most engineering teams collaborate on code and products.
Instead of guessing your way through git for hours, enroll in the recently-launched Github Learning Lab. The friendly bot will teach you about:
📝 Markdown, the internet's favorite formatting tool
🖥️ Github Pages to build free websites in minutes
😬 Merge conflicts, or when you and your coworkers disagree
This isn't the only bot-based education tool to launch recently: a SMS-based university launched last week, with entrepreneurship lessons from UCLA, USC, and Babson professors.
You can also learn a language over text with the Golden-Kitty-winning Duolingo Bots, powered by AI. 🤖

Is this the new Facebook? 🤖🤔
In 2004, Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard to build Facebook:
"You know, someone needs to build a service like this for the world."
Facebook succeeded in connecting the world, but keeping up with all of your friends and professional coffee buddies is overwhelming.
In 2017, another Harvard student dropped out to solve this problem, and his team's AI-powered Personal CRM launches today.
Conduit is like a personal Chief of Staff:
📊 Powerful AI tracks every meeting, email, and connection
💌 Integrates with Google, LinkedIn, Outlook, and your calendar
☕ Automatically reminds you to catch up with old friends based on how long it's been since you've emailed or grabbed coffee
Product Hunt users get VIP access with code PRODUCTHUNT. 🤗
Conduit isn't the only startup tackling this problem: Airtable's CRM template is loved by thousands (and they raised $52M!), Affinity got 800+ upvotes for their CRM, and UpHabit is coming soon.

NEW from Google: A coding app for beginners 📱
Today Google’s experimental incubator, Area 120, launched Grasshopper to help beginners learn to code on the go.
Here's why: “Coding is becoming such an essential skill, and we want to make it possible for everyone to learn even when life gets busy."
Lessons cover all the basics in JavaScript:
🛠️ Basics like variables, functions, and loops
📝 Drawing shapes using the D3 library
💻 Building more complex functions using D3
Completely free, and available for iOS and Android so you can learn while your Uber takes another loop around the block.
Grasshopper isn't the first app to teach coding on your phone.
Beautifully-designed Mimo launched years ago, with mobile-first lessons on how to build websites and apps. Originally started as a university project, it's grossed over $100,000 in revenue since launch.
If you'd rather sit at a desk, we've curated the 56 Best Tools to Learn to Code on your actual computer. 💻
