Sometimes it s not the flashy feature or full redesign that moves the needle it s that tiny update that just clicks with users.

I d love to hear from other makers/founders:

What s a small tweak, feature, or decision you shipped that surprisingly improved retention, UX, or just made your users go, Finally! ?

Could be as small as:

Hey makers! I need to vent and hopefully get some advice from people who've been through this.

I'm working on our landing page copy and honestly it's become my personal hell. You know that moment when you think you've nailed the perfect headline, so you show it to 10 users and get 10 completely different interpretations?

User 1: "Oh so it's like Slack for teams"

User 2: "Wait, this is a project management tool right?"

My journey in startups began 10 years ago, and I've launched 18 startups, most of which failed. Briefly on why they failed:
1. Contract Online my first startup in 2015, which was supposed to be an online service for remote signing of contracts for any transactions between individuals. A kind of analogue of a secure transaction. For this startup, I even managed to attract a business angel who invested $16,500.

Reason for failure: I had two lawyers on my team who discovered in the process that the legal framework at the time could not provide reliable grounds for protecting our users in remote transactions. The contracts would not have been considered legally signed.
2. Natural Products In 2015-2018, I became very passionate about healthy eating, but in the process, I discovered that products in all chain stores are full of chemicals, and stores with truly natural products are inaccessible to the majority. Hence, the idea emerged to create my own online platform where you could order natural products directly from farmers at affordable prices.

Reason for failure: For several years, I tried to launch this project, even trained as a baker of natural bread and tried to create my own farm, but in the process, I found that few people are willing to pay for truly natural products, even if these products were only 20-30% more expensive than market prices, and not 2-3 times more, as in premium stores. Hence, the market was so small that all my attempts were doomed.

I've realized I don't like reading text linearly.

Someone writes a text, and it's encoded by their writing style, knowledge, thinking patterns, and so on. Then I need to read it through, decode it, and understand if it was worth the effort.

I ve hit a few demo nights in SF with some gems and some straight-up misses. I m chasing the high-signal ones where you leave with something you can ship next week.

What s the best demo you ran or attended recently, and what made it great? If there s a series or event worth following, drop it (city or online both welcome).

I miss Mint. And when I say that, I mean that I miss the old Mint before they got acquired by Intuit and started selling my data to anyone who would buy it. I want more than what my bank offers but this space seems surprisingly quiet unless I am hiding under a rock.

What's everyone using for personal finance?

Meow Product Hunt!
About a year ago, we had a discussion on launch weeks here.
A launch week is when a company announces something new every day for 5 days.
This week is unique. This week, 22 developer tools agreed to announce a new feature every day for 5 days. We called it 'Mega Launch Week' you can learn more about it here.
Some of them are live on Product Hunt today. Join and support their launch!

I ve been thinking a lot lately about how creators especially podcasters, YouTubers, and indie writers often get overlooked by mainstream tools that try to serve everyone at once.

Curious to hear what small, purpose-built products people here are building that genuinely serve a creator niche.

Full report from @olivia_moore @mha1 & @seema_amble :

• Horizontal apps have a slight lead over vertical (60% of the list). This includes general assistants (ex. @Perplexity) and SIX different meeting support tools (ex. Fyxer AI). But, it also encompasses creative tools and vibe coding tools that are used in roles across orgs.

• Vertical apps can augment human labor...or replace it. We're mostly seeing the former - but five companies on the list allow customers to "hire AI" (ex. Crosby Legal, @Cognition IP , @11X). Labor augmenters mostly assist with customer service, sales, and recruiting.

• Vibe coding has landed in enterprises. It's not just a prosumer trend! Number three on the list, below @OpenAI and Anthropic? Replit. Other listmakers in the category include @Lovable and @Emergent 2.0, while @Cursor made the ranks for more technical users.

• Products are making the consumer -> enterprise jump. 12 cos also appeared in our most recent Consumer AI Top 100 - almost all of which started out B2C and have migrated B2B over time. In fact, 70% of listmakers are available for individual use (no enterprise license needed)!
