There are tons of apps based on GPT or other models launched every day, hard for individual to keep track of all of them. Yet, I bet many of them make your life easier. Which do you consider as most useful one and should get more attention? Since attention is all you need ;)
A lot of large companies (not just tech giants) are laying off employees at scale because AI can already do parts of their work faster, in higher volume, and at a comparable level of quality, sometimes even better.

For over a week, the wider Product Hunt community has been chiming in with their two cents in the discussion about where to draw the line between which product features should be free and which should require payment.
Just yesterday on X, a post started trending about a tool with 35,000+ users, but only just over 1,300 paying customers. The founder was asking the community for advice on how to increase conversions.
One thing I ve been learning while building my startup is that finding skilled talent and convincing them to join an unproven mission are two very different things.
In the early stages, competing with big tech compensation packages is impossible, but building a solid core team requires more than just offering equity.
I ve started focusing on attracting early collaborators through other means:
Sharing our long-term vision, core values, and transparent company culture upfront.
Offering extreme workplace autonomy and complete ownership over key modules.
Identifying ambitious talent looking for rapid career growth rather than established corporate comfort.
Involving early candidates in product discussions to see how we problem-solve together.
Building relationships with open-source contributors who already care about our niche.
been going back and forth on this. I send about 20 linkedin dms a day and I've tried both ways: a short note mentioning something they posted, and a blank request with a message once they accept. blank feels lazier but I'm honestly not convinced it does worse, people seem to judge on the profile more than the note.
what do others do? and has anyone actually tracked it properly, or is everyone going on gut feel like me?
