Some mornings every business I run seems to need me at the same time, a slow-paying client in one, a staffing gap in another, a decision that cannot wait in the third. For a long time I just answered whichever one reached me first, which usually meant the loudest problem won, not the most important one.
Lately I've been trying to ask a different question before I touch anything: which one of these actually loses real money or a real relationship if I wait until tomorrow. Most mornings the honest answer is only one of them. The rest can hold, even though they don't feel like they can in the moment.
The growth of MVP services The growth of AI tools that help you generate the code What's the point of MVP services when the majority of people (with a very little knowledge about the code) can use AI to create their first MVP? Yeah, you can now argument that some solutions are technologically more difficult and that's the point where the MVP service provider can step in, but anyway...
Lately I ve been thinking about how different design challenges look depending on the product you re building.
In theory, design processes often look clean and structured. But in reality, every product comes with its own constraints unclear requirements, edge cases, technical limitations, or simply trying to balance user needs with business goals.
I am Nikolas and with my 30+ team we like giving back to the community. So, while I cant support every project that launches every day (I can barely keep up so somedays I dont even log on PH), I do want to make an effort for dev tool projects, especially those helping with AI code assistants (and platforms that could help me evaluate their effectiveness), IDEs, productivity tools and more. I am also interested in SaaS products with an API or simply APIs, especially APIs that leverage AI and can help developers build better (and faster).
I'm curious to know how you fellow solo-founders stay organized and on task and distraction free. I really enjoy working on a project for myself but when I can do it all from home there's a million other things on my mind. What strategies have worked so far and maybe more importantly what strategies haven't?
Hi there! I've been working in content marketing & SEO for almost a decade - and while I've seen many announcements of the death of SEO, the current search climate, combined with the latest announcements from Google are strong signals that SEO may (finally ) be over.
What do you think? Is "answer engine optimization" the answer?
lately I open product hunt and the top 3 spots are just another feature drop from one of the big three, every single day :/ a small maker trying to get real feedback and traction doesn t stand a chance when they re going up against a billion-dollar company s changelog update. don t get me wrong, these companies ship incredibly fast and usually groundbreaking stuff. We all know it, and honestly, it s fun to watch. (I upvote a lot of them myself too) but to me, PH used to be about finding products I would never find otherwise. Chatting with makers, getting feedback on my own stuff. That was the whole point. for the big three and other giants, we re all going to see it anyway. Every reel, every thread, every newsletter will cover it as soon as it's launched, whether or not it s featured on Product Hunt. I am really curious about what you all do for these 2 things now - how are you all still finding good indie stuff on here? - and if you ve launched recently or are thinking about it: is it actually worth it anymore, or has it become a vanity checkbox? feels like Product Hunt needs a separate board for corporate launches vs. new indie products. Or am I wrong?
After yesterday s reckoning , it s time to define a plan of activities for the last quarter. I didn t implement many things from Q3, so I would like to finish them in these 3 months.
