Hey all! We're launching a new newsletter called Maker Stacks. It's all about makers and the tools they use for different parts of their careers. Our first guest is Ben Lang, who joined Notion way back in 2019 as the company's head of community and grew the community to what it is today! Ben will be talking about the products he uses to stay productive and build communities. Want to be among the first to read it? Sign up here.
Hey all! Another week down, another week started, let's hit those goals Last week was a blast on discussions with some amazing questions, answers, and of course learnings. Here's what you may have missed: Dymtro is looking for recommendations on apps to reduce your screen time. Dmitry wants to know what are some of your epic epic fail stories
Three launches on the board today price in credits, and the complaint underneath each one is the same.
Solid's reviews say credits burn while fixing errors the tool itself caused. Speechka charges 1 credit per minute of translation mode, so you pay full freight for the call where the other person does most of the talking. GBrain bundles $100 of usage into a $199 seat, which is fat margin or underwater depending on which model the user happened to pick that week.
I m currently building a product that blends digital efficiency with human warmth. It s designed to solve a real pain point, but in a way that respects emotion, context, and intuition.
We always talk about the excitement of launch day, but the days right after can be a mental roller coaster especially when traffic slows down and user feedback trickles in slowly.
What s your personal ritual or strategy to stay disciplined and keep iterating when the initial launch hype fades?
P.S. Currently resisting the urge to refresh my analytics page for the 47th time today. Send help (or advice).
I support structured, high-value discussions nobody wants forums filled with spam and self-promotion. But here s the issue: understanding what qualifies as valuable.
Product Hunt s updated guidelines push for original, engaging, and non-replicable content. Makes sense. But when posts disappear without clear reasoning, it creates confusion.
Where s the line between sharing insights and self-promotion?
What defines a post as high-value in this new system?
Why not offer feedback instead of outright removals?
Stronger moderation is great if paired with transparency. Instead of guessing what works, clearer guidelines and examples could help everyone create better discussions.
Almost three years ago, I started working on a service to simplify end to end DevOps for the teams and now we're very close to our beta release. I had many reasons to do so, to name a few:
* we were wasting too much time and money on setting up CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure, making everything work together, learning new technologies
* we were easily getting locked in with vendors
* no single tool was giving us a fraction of all we wanted to use
* although we had pretty straightforward requirements we had to repeat what perhaps a thousand more companies were doing
* going multi-cloud and using the best services of each of them from a single panel was just a dream Utopiops solves all these problems for us and any other software development team/individual.
