hey everyone, i'm the ceo/cofounder of supabasewe're big fans of PH and the community here - you've been amazing at giving us feedback and helping us develop. I often describe ourselves as a "platform for builders". We're more popularly known as an open source firebase alternativei'm here to answer any and gather product feedback. I'll be here for an hour or so then check in every few hours throughout the day

Hi everyone! We're hosting the AMA LIVE on X (Twitter) and will be answering questions posted on the Forum during the Live.Join the Live X session here: https://x.com/producthunt/status/1891903521500328357?s=46A while back we launched @Wordware and broke Product Hunt during our launch.We're here to share bits of wisdom from our launch strategy, answer launch questions you may have, and even help point you in the right direction for the launch day!

I hate to say it and I don't want to sound pessimistic (but it's probably happening already :D)...with all the conveniences we have, we are so fast and unfortunately also comfortable.Have you noticed that when using Chat GPT or AI you don't even bother to think anymore?So I use it to get information and I think I'm learning something, but I don't know if I'm really learning anything when AI does everything for me.It's like a modern calculator that gives you the result without you understanding the processes and structures behind the calculations.Is AI making us stupid? How do you approach using AI so that you still can learn and "use" your brain more actively?IMO this will be a huge thing for the next generations and kids because if they rely too much on AI, they can become either geniuses or very lazy and illiterate people.

👋 Hi Product Hunters!I'm here today not to launch a product, but in a way for something much more interesting: to talk about eu/acc 😊For the last decade, I was digital nomading and living in different places all around the world. While the places where I lived abroad, like Asia and America, were getting more ambitious and modern every time I visited them, Europe, and especially Western Europe, started to feel stagnant to me.Of course, that was one of the reasons why I left Europe in the first place. When I said I wanted to be an entrepreneur after graduating university, I was laughed at even by my university classmates who studied business! It was "safer" to get a job for a big corporation and get experience first. Then you could start a business later.And when I finally had my own internet business that was making thousands per month, I remember telling people in Amsterdam, and they'd ask me "when are you going to get a real job?".This was a stark difference from when I was abroad and told people what I did. People were excited, supportive and wanted to learn to do the same thing.Every year that I came back to Europe the culture felt more stagnant, more pessimistic, and more normie.Of course there was great things about Europe for me pulling me back: my parents and brothers live here, and when I ended up in Portugal during COVID, I loved the nature, the clean air and the laid-back coastal surf village life and ended up moving here.And that brought me to an interesting point: seeing where the rest of the world was going, as a European, while seeing Europe slowly getting worse. It became harder and harder to build a startup here. And we started seeing this in losing any lead we had in technology in the last decade. The big tech and AI companies are now all in the US and China, there's very few left in Europe:The insane regulation that the EU brought upon everyone I think directly caused this:VATMOSSGeneral Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)Digital Services Act (DSA)Digital Markets Act (DMA)ePrivacy RegulationThe AI Act...and many moreWhich all had good intentions, but made it very difficult to comply as a small or medium business owner. Sure if you're a billion dollar corporation, you can hire bookkeepers and lawyers to comply. But if you're a one-man or small startup?Last year around April, the data finally started showing what I felt for over decade, Europe was in fact struggling and for the reasons that I felt in my gut:https://x.com/levelsio/status/1784943280171467260I felt we had to at least try do something to change the mindset in Europe. I started eu/acc, European Accelerationsim as an offshoot of e/acc, Effective Accelerationsim, a similar movement by Beff Jezos in the United States. Out with the pessimism about the future, and in with optimism about technology and the future. And in particular in eu/acc's case: draw attention to the problems of Europe and propose practical ways to fix them.eu/acc is a movement to deregulate and save EuropeThousands of people have now crowdsourced tens of thousands of ideas of which the most important ones have now become part of the official eu/acc manifesto on euacc.comAnd it hasn't just stopped there: eu/acc's ideas are part of Mario Draghi's European Competitiveness report which was presented to the European Commission in September 2024 and implemented in January 2025 by Ursula von der Leyen as the European Competitiveness Compass.Of course that's just reports. We need actual action and laws changed to make Europe a great place for people and business again. And to guarantee its economic future.One of the most important components is not regulation, but deregulation: remove regulation that makes it impossible for tech entrepreneurs, startups and companies in Europe to do business and compete with the rest of the world.Because Europeans are highly skilled, highly educated, they have great ideas, and many are actually ambitious. They're just stifled by regulation and as a consequence a culture that has slowly become so risk-averse that it's been starting to self-sabotage its future.Europe can be great, so let's make it that again! 😊Today I'd love to answer your questions, and I'd even more love to hear YOUR ideas on how to save Europe!-A proud 🇪🇺 EuropeanFollow @euaccofficial to get updates

Lately I realise that I use AI to automate stuff etc, but when it comes to growing products that I built or my social presence, it does not help me much.Like, there are probably a BILLION tools for AI-powered content creation and blah blah blah, but they haven't really helped me generate any meaningful content. So, I always end up writing the stuff I want myself, cause they are just better than the AI tools create.Do you folks use AI to grow your product or personal brand? If so has it helped you? What tools do u use?

Ray.so by @Raycast turns your code into beautiful images. Their makers @thomaspaulmann, @peduarte, and @samuelkraft recently added new partner themes featuring @Vercel, @Supabase, @Tailwind CSS, @Clerk, and @Mintlify among others.Any preferences?Oh and ICYMI the project is open-source: View source code here

Hey Product Hunters!I love making music. I've been playing guitar, singing, and making noise since I was about 12. And Suno? It scares me a little. AI making music in seconds? Amazing, sure. But also... unsettling. Like, what does this mean for me?But I can't stop using it. It's weird. It's sparked ideas I never would've had on my own and pushed me out of my rut, which is great! Except... I worry.I've been playing for over 20 years. What about the kids just starting out? Will they still pick up a guitar when they can just type "epic rock ballad" and boom – instant song? Will they miss out on the joy (and the pain!) of learning? Will they ever know the thrill of writing their song?How do we, as musicians, balance AI's awesomeness with the human stuff – the grit, the passion, the struggle? How do we make sure AI helps us instead of replaces us? And how long until we see the first commercially successful album made entirely by AI? Am I overthinking this? Probably. But I'd love to hear what you think while I tweak a new Electronic Tango Persona in Suno.Cheers!

I am trying to gather tools directly developed for the Product Hunt platform that could possibly help you with the launch. This is what I have gathered so far.Advanced PH Scrapper – extracting data of launches into the chartsHunted Space – calendar & stats for upvotes, comments, upvote speedLaunchgrid – something like a database of launches from PH & HNLaunchpedia – kits (PH resources)Product Hunt favourites – extension for bookmarkingProduct Hunt trending – overview of successful launches (ranking)Product Wars – upvotes, comments, speed statsIf you know more, feel free to share.

I’m the @Product Hunt CEO, I’ve launched 7 times on PH, and helped countless friends prep their launches. The most common mistake I see is a confusing tagline. Launching on Product Hunt soon? Tell me your tagline and I’ll fix it for you :)

The team would love to hear from more folks that are doing manual data entry for ERP, EDI etc. Would love to know your frustrations, your problems and how we might be able to help?

I've been using Cursor to experiment building Web3 apps a bit quicker. Right now I'm exploring the Sui Blockchain and building little apps with it.I've been able to successfully been able to create sites that can connect and recognize wallets but when I start wanting to add more functionality I've seen Cursor struggle and really break things.This is before I've even written any smart contracts, I'm just experimenting with wallet connections, reading, and how we can use data to create different user experiences. Curious if anyone has any tips, experience, or apps they're willing to share!

One of the biggest pain points in AI chatbots has been their forgetfulness – having to repeat the same context over and over again. AI memory aims to solve this by allowing models like ChatGPT and the newly launched Gemini to retain past interactions.But how well do these memory features work? Which AI – ChatGPT or Gemini – handles memory better? And more importantly, does AI memory provide more value in personal use or enterprise settings?I also just came across Tanka which launched today. Unlike Gemini and ChatGPT, it focuses entirely on business collaboration, integrating AI memory into messaging tools like Slack and WhatsApp. Could this be a more practical approach for companies?Have you tested AI memory in ChatGPT or Gemini? Which one do you prefer so far?Is AI memory a game-changer or just a nice-to-have?For businesses, would Tanka’s enterprise AI memory be more valuable than general AI models like Gemini?Would love to hear your thoughts!

Hi, I'm Andreas Klinger, investor at Prototype Capital and former CTO of Product Hunt.LET'S FIX EUROPE FOR STARTUPSWe (the @euinc_petition crew) is on Monday again in Brussels. We want your input beforehand.What questions about EU-Inc do you have?What ideas have you got to improve Europe for Startups?What feedback or suggestions do you have?Want to know how you can help?Europe won't fix itself and it's only impossible until someone simply does it. So, let's do stuff.What is EU-Inc:A new pan-European legal entity for startups.By addressing regulatory fragmentation, EU-Inc seeks to radically simplify founding and pan-European funding of European startup as well as and standardize employee equity options—empowering European startups to scale across Europe and globally.

Hi PHers, happy Monday!HEAR THIS - A few days ago, I was coding some stuff on my desk, and then as usual, I went on Youtube :P I was getting a brain fog from all the random stuff there, lol, but then I came across this nerdy dude from Europe with a psychedelic tshirt on, saying he got story telling figured out. I was like, FINALLY im gonna be able to get potential users to engage with my stuff. I took a coffee sip, ate my peanut butter and started watching the video. I need to admit...the things that guy said, and the examples he gave got me HOOKED.Now STOP.If you still reading, the techniques from the guy really work ;)I just used it above to describe you how it happened. (It did happen like this).Without further ado, here is the insights I got from the guy when you do storytelling:Share the location and time of the story you are sharing i.e "A few days ago, around midnight, i was sitting on my couch wearing a tshirt". Make it vizual, even say the color of the clothes, or the smell in the room.Share what you were doing i.e "I was binge scrolling on Instagram, looking some animal talking to human reels" . Make it real make it visual. Things that people resonate with. Dont just say, I was doing my routine, being productive. This is "shit talk" and no one cares. Has no soul.Share thoughts, completely unfiltered, raw. i.e "I was in the super market doing groceries, and I couldnt stop thinking about how my cousin last night didnt stop chatting shit about the new neighbor". Share your real thoughts. Lets be real, we all want to look perfect and productive, but nobody thinks about " Hey im so productive, let's put a timer on and go do deep work". No. The brain reminds us all the stupid shit we did in the past. How everyone else is better than us and makes us FOMO, and how much we care about how others see us. That is the TRUTH. Share it.Include feelings in your story. Emotions connect people. Express the exact feeling of the story "i was super stressed, i didnt know what will come out of his mouth the next second". Not just boring stuff, I felt happy, or angry. MAKE THE USERS VIZUALIZE.Dialogue. Include the dialogue you had with someone (or with yourself lol) explicitly with the poetic view. i.e Dont say "he told me it was great" say "5 mins after explaining her what happened, she looked at me and said WOW, this is really the best thing ive ever seen".Now folks, I dont want this post to get super long. I gave you the 5 techniques, USE THEM. They help me a lot ;) No need to use them in a particular way, just in every story you say, apply them, make sure they are all in. I think this is gold.<3

Hey Product Hunt community, I wanted to get your take on something that's been on my mind.The other day, I was chatting with a founder who had poured years into building an amazing product, only to realise there wasn't a real market need. It made me wonder: as builders and enthusiasts, how can we avoid this trap?I often hear that to succeed in tech, you just need a decent product and some funding. But I’m keen to discuss and gather insights from the community on the most critical elements for a tech company to thrive.I've been considering three key areas:Problem: How do we, as a community of builders, effectively validate whether a problem is worth solving? What are some go-to methods or red flags you look for?Market: What are some proven strategies for building a profitable business model before investing heavily in product development? Have you seen creative approaches to monetisation that go beyond the obvious?Attention: Beyond the usual paid ads and social media grind, what unconventional or memorable ways have you found to draw attention to your product or service?keen to hear your thoughts, experiences, and hard-won lessons.What's been your biggest "aha!" moment or face-palm when it comes to these three areas?

When speaking to people who have never heard about Tana, how do you explain what it is? I am curious! Personally, I have to vet their current tool use thoroughly before I know how to talk about it. 😄

I'm curious how people build local-first apps. I don't need full CRDT support, but more just syncing with a "parent" db (both pulling new data and pushing locally created records).I see tinybase which feels maybe a bit more powerful than what I need (?).I also see livestore which feels scary to build on something that new. Is there a non-hack way to use sqllite and sync to a postgres db?Basically my criteria in order of importance would be:1. stays out of my way (easy to deploy, migrate, use)2. has leverage with types (a standard linter tells me I'm blowing up the app with the code I just wrote)3. stable (I would ideally just learn a "goto" tool and use that on all projects going forward)

This is probably one of the most debated topics in the startup world: Should you build an audience before you launch, or is it better to launch first and grow your audience afterward? I’ve seen both approaches work, but each comes with its own set of challenges and rewards. - Building an audience first means you're creating buzz, validating your idea, and nurturing a community of early adopters who are invested in your success. But it takes time, patience, and a lot of effort to keep the momentum going before you even have a product to show. - Launching first lets you hit the ground running, gather real-world feedback, and iterate quickly. But without an existing audience, you might struggle to get those initial users and traction. So, indulge me: Which approach did you take —or are you considering taking (those who haven't launched yet)? - Did you build an audience before launching your product, or did you launch and then focus on growth? - What worked (or didn't work) for you? - If you could go back, would you do it differently? Share your story with us so we can all learn from each other. There's someone here who could benefit from your experience. ----- P.S: If you're a growth-stage founder struggling with churn or stagnant customer acquisition (usually because of poor positioning and messaging), I'd love to help.

Hey everyone! I’ve seen some people mention using Reddit groups to help launching their products, but I’m a bit new to the platform. From what I’ve noticed, many groups don’t allow self-promotion or talking about your own business. I’m curious, which subreddits do you participate in, and what’s your strategy for engaging and launching your products there? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any tips for successfully navigating Reddit for product launches!

Hi everyone,One year ago, we launched on this platform with a vision to transform voice AI. Today, Vapi has grown to 100,000+ developers and recently raised our $20M Series A.Voice AI has reached its tipping point. We're seeing hundreds of startups, agencies, and developers building innovative voice solutions for enterprises and SMBs on Vapi's platform.AMA about building better voice products, promising use cases, voice models, and what's coming in 2025. I'll be around 1PM PT to answer your questions!

Hey builders, I’m Kate, co-founder of Migroot—a platform that helps people relocate smoothly. We have our first customers, but pricing has been tricky. Here’s the situation: 🔹 We currently offer three plans: $19.90/month – subscription for access to relocation tools $1,190 one-time – full support with an immigration expert $2,990 one-time – premium, hands-on relocation assistance The problem? 💡 The $19.90/month plan seems too cheap—people don’t trust it because "immigration can’t possibly be that affordable." 💰 The higher-tier plans feel too expensive, especially since they require expert involvement and customers hesitate to pay upfront. We're trying to find a better balance. Have you faced similar challenges? Any ideas on how to tweak pricing or positioning?

Command AI was acquired by Amplitude in October 2024. We just re-launched one of our products as an Amplitude product (Guides and Surveys). Ask me about what it's like for a startup to go through an acquisition, integrate with another company's team and product, etc. I'll be around to answer questions 9am PT!

What tool like @LaunchDarkly or @Bucket do you use for feature flagging/rollout?
