Which of your projects are you the proudest?

I don't usually dwell on what I've done, but sometimes I should probably be happy about everything I do (even if it's not the most successful).

Because I forget to enjoy the completion of something, and that can lead to burnout.

I let Hermes/OpenClaw agent run our video making system for 10 days. This is what happened...

Video has always been one of our biggest customer acquisition channels at my company. But for 2 years, our video making process was a mess. Not the recording - the everything else. Finding editors who understood our specific AI context was hard, so we ended up doing it ourselves. It was draining. It was inconsistent. It was a bottleneck.

Over the last 10 days, I built an autonomous AI video agent (powered by Hermes - or OpenClaw - both work) to kill the drudgery for good.

I’m Justin. I help creators do 10x things and turn their ideas into flagship digital products! AMA 👇

Hey Product Hunt! I m a Senior Writer at Gumroad, host of the Gumroad Podcast, and Instructor of the 10x Creator Course. Today I m a student of the creator economy, but it didn t start that way. I was in the U.S. Navy for 11 years, and I served as a certified nuclear engineer aboard a fast-attack submarine. I later served as Director of Communication and speechwriter to senior U.S. officials, including SecDef Jim Mattis, SecDef Leon Panetta, and General (Ret.) David Petraeus. After that, I transitioned into the tech world and spent four years as an Evangelist at Palantir. In 2018, I co-founded a tech company focused on consumer content management (we didn t make it, but I m happy to talk about lessons learned!) Since then, I ve gone full-time as an independent creator. I helped Jack Butcher

Following "The Social Dilemma", what types of regulations for tech companies?

Just watched The Social Dilemma. They told me it was good. Yet, I am fascinated. Even though they highlighted many parts of the dilemma, I am not convinced with what they proposed as regulation levers. No offense though. I know it is hard to make it fit in a 90-minutes movie. It feels like the history is repeating itself. Let's take the example of the Dutch East India Company, a.k.a. VOC. Throughout the 17th century, this private company got so big that they colonized Indonesia for two centuries. Why? Because they were pursuing their business model's interests. Indeed, capitalism was just born and society wasn't aware of its limits yet. They didn't know it could destabilize a whole society. When people figured it wasn't normal that a private company could control a whole country, they started to regulate. Turned out the VOC was nationalized. It didn't kill the problem right away. Yet, nowadays a private company cannot control a physical territory. And it might be for the best! So, what happens with 21st-century tech companies? They don't control territories with physical frontiers. But they do control people within these zones. Time has passed. Things are more complicated and diversified than before. Nationalizing might not be the solution. A radical change in their business model is not conceivable either. As said in the film, some fiscal regulations such as taxes on data collection and processing could work. Society agrees it is time for regulation. But, what can they be?

What is your favorite use of AI right now?

My favorite usage of AI currently is helping me prototype and bring to life internal tools that help me with my daily life.

I am preparing for job interviews so I built a tool to help prepare for technical questions.

I am networking so I built a tool to help break the ice at events.

How do you keep your laptop cool during Summer?

Hey there! I need your help: my MacBook pro was used to a very tempered climate (aka weather) but I recently moved to a warmer region and it's clear that my laptop is not enjoying it at all. How do you keep your laptop from turning into a helicopter on fire? All recommendations welcomed (except the ones suggesting a new laptop ) Thank you!

We raised our iOS app price to $50/mo to cover Apple's 30% cut. We lost 40% of users.

We built a B2B productivity tool that helps freelancers track billable hours. Our core web app is priced at $35/month, and we have about 400 paying customers. Last year, we finally launched our iOS app to capture the "on-the-go" market.

We set the price in the App Store at $35/month to match our website. Then, we looked at the revenue reports. After Apple took their 30% cut, we were netting just $24.50 per user. We were actually losing money on every iOS user after accounting for hosting and support.

So, we made a decision: we raised the App Store price to $50/month to cover Apple's tax and maintain our margins. We thought our power users would understand; after all, we were providing immense value.

The backlash was immediate. Within two months, our iOS subscriber count dropped from 120 to 70. Our App Store rating tanked from 4.8 stars to 3.2 stars. The reviews were brutal: "Greedy developers. Why is it $15 more expensive just because it's on my phone?"
