I m increasingly noticing a trend: people use AI for (almost everything), especially for writing texts. it is nothing new, but it started to be annoying (?)
The problem is that AI often: fully or largely replicates existing text without adding anything new adds completely pointless things, like a two-line comment followed by writes extremely long comments that no one will actually read
Recently, I posted here about how Y Combinator launched a program that allows young people to study at a university while building a product.
Many young people today idolise the likes of Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and other dropouts who didn t finish college but made it big with a breakthrough idea.
It's been an exhilarating journey filled with relentless innovation, exploring cutting-edge trends, and staying on the pulse of the tech world. Product Hunt isn't just a website for me; it's my ultimate destination for absorbing knowledge, finding inspiration, and potentially collaborating with incredible people. I'd love to connect with you on Twitter and LinkedIn. Twitter: @RanaUmarsaleem

Kind of struggling to figure out how to pitch my site wacht.tv, usually I just say its Reddit meets MTV. Maybe I'm overthinking it but I rarely see X meets Y as a tagline.
Good morning fellow Hunters!
I m having a low-energy morning.
Was wandering, what makes you keep going when things get rough, and don t go your way? Please, do share.
I picked "Maker Mindset" topic on purpose :) I carefully review most of the products that I like and comment on here for vulnerabilities or security flaws and the result is not good. Yesterday I discovered a big problem in one of the products for example allowing attackers to exploit it. (I have notified the makers of course) So my question is - as a maker - do you think about security at all when you design and implement your idea? Is this one of your checkpoint items as good UX, nice design, value, etc?
With today s tools, translation (UI, copy, even video) is no longer the hard part.
What slows us down instead are things like tax, legal compliance, hiring, support, payments sometimes even geopolitics. The moment users show up from a new country, a product problem turns into an operating one.
If your launch does not go as planned, do not judge it too quickly. Avoid the instinct to immediately add more features or pivot the product.
Instead, pause and evaluate what already exists. Check whether the core features are clearly communicated, fully polished, and genuinely solve the intended problem. Often, the issue is not the idea, but the execution, positioning, or user experience.
Refine what you have. Improve clarity, usability, onboarding, and messaging. Then relaunch with focus and confidence.
Many products fail not because they were wrong, but because they were unfinished, unclear, or rushed.
Scrolling through today's launches, it feels like half of them are AI agents now applying to jobs for you, editing your videos, handling outreach, monitoring other agents. Some of it genuinely saves hours. Some of it I still want to keep my hands on.
