Shout out your favorite new product you absolutely love using (that’s not yours)

What s a recent product you ve started using that you absolutely love?

Maybe it solved a real problem, has great UX, or just brings you joy every time you open it. Bonus points if it launched here on Product Hunt.

What is the report you get every week and have quietly stopped reading?

Every business I run generates something on a schedule, a weekly summary, a sales recap, an ops checklist nobody asked for but someone still sends. In the beginning I read every line. Now I skim the subject and archive it without opening, because nothing has looked different in months.

The part that bothers me is I cannot actually remember the last time I checked whether that assumption was still true. Curious whether you have one of these too, the report that used to matter and now mostly proves itself irrelevant just by existing, and whether you have ever caught something late because you had already stopped looking closely.

The U.S. Mint drops an "innovation" $1 coin featuring Steve Jobs.

Would you buy this Steve Jobs "innovation coin" for $1?

This design presents a young Steve Jobs sitting in front of a quintessentially northern California landscape of oak-covered rolling hills. His posture and expression, as he is captured in a moment of reflection, show how this environment inspired his vision to transform complex technology into something as intuitive and organic as nature itself. Inscriptions are UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and CALIFORNIA. Additional inscriptions are STEVE JOBS and MAKE SOMETHING WONDERFUL.

Common sense > “Just ship it”. Behind the scenes on our design process.

It starts with one button.

A button is the simplest way to communicate with an app.

To trigger an action. To complete a task.

It s simple. Though so difficult to get right.

1 month post-launch: How do you build initial site authority & get your first real backlinks?

Hey everyone!

It s been officially 1 month since I launched my website on Google. Things are running smoothly on the product side, but SEO-wise, I ve hit a brick wall.

Right now, my Moz Domain Authority (DA) is stuck at 1, and I haven't managed to earn a single organic backlink yet.

For those who have been through the early-stage SEO grind:

Keeping Customers Engaged Beyond Initial Sign-Up

All of us want customers on our platforms. However, a sign-up is very different from an engaged user who keeps returning and finding value over time.

Creating the right user experience, without being too intrusive, spammy, or in your face , can significantly improve engagement, increase conversions, and reduce churn. In my experience, a platform s success is defined far more by its active users than by the total number of people who have ever signed up.

Below are a few approaches I ve seen work well, along with some that haven t been as effective.

Do you actually know which of your businesses made money last month?

I run more than one business, and for a long time I could not have told you, with a straight face, exactly which one was profitable in a given month. I had a general feeling, but no real number I trusted, just totals across bank accounts that never told the full story.

If you are running two or more businesses right now, do you actually know this month's numbers by business, or are you working off a general feeling too? What made you either build a real system for it, or decide it was not worth the effort yet?

Developer’s thoughts

Building something in the music space and constantly asking myself did I actually use this tool the way a real customer would? Or did I build for what I thought made sense? Curious what products you've bought recently that felt like the founder was a real user first, developer second. What tipped you off?
