After three days at a metal festival (in Pilsen), I realized something sad. In the software world, we don t have fun at work anymore. I am not talking about the HR-inspired fun; I am talking about the joy that comes from the inside. Do you remember the chair rowing? Do you remember how amazed we were to crash a keyboard or two on each other backs? Do you remember us singing songs about Java while writing fake protocols? What kind of fun did you use to have in your teams before the HR-organized joy of playing volleyball and drinking beer from PHP-shaped mugs? Help me inspire more people. Here are some of the examples I am going to present: I will mention you during my talk if I include something from you.
Every Product Hunter and maker dreams of a great response to their launch. Featured products naturally attract more attention, right? But what if your product isn t featured? How can you still make your launch a success and achieve remarkable results?
Mine is to protect your peak hours. Here's a simple framework: First, master comms before mastering the schedule: Write with brutal clarity (lists, short sentences, no fluff) Drop links to all docs you mention (simple + helpful) Optimise for easy decisions & yes/no answers Explain why it matters for better context Bundle your comments and feedback Then hack your energy patterns: Learn to listen when your energy peaks and dips Build your schedule around your energy levels Save admin work for low-energy hours Finally, switch locations sometimes: Connect with peers for shared energy & momentum Try working from cafes / co-works The goal is to find your balance, and protect it. And the best way how to do that is to work on your own terms, and dodge energy draining back and forths.
Hey hunters, I'm building a translation tool for image-based text online. I named it Pictell, it can help you translate any text on images, making you read them in your preferred language on the original images. See how it works: https://youtu.be/19FP2B62I6Q The idea for this product came from my team which is a multinational team, where members from China, Japan, and France who are not native English speakers, and sometimes have to use images to convey ideas & news. Existing translation products in the market can only translate text, not the content on the image directly, which requires the use of an OCR tool to extract text and then translate it, resulting in a waste of time. Pictell aims to solve this problem by allowing users to instantly understand the text content on the picture. Check it out: https://mmntm.me/pictellai The waitlist is now open for early access. Any feedback is welcome. I would be much appreciated for having your thoughts on it, Thanks a ton. By the way, Momentum is a really great tool to create a landing page for MVP products.
