I ve been working on permission and role management for a B2B AI product.
One thing that makes this tricky is that a user s role doesn t always tell you what they should be able to do.
For example, someone might manage a project without managing the entire workspace. They need control over their project s settings and members, but that doesn t necessarily mean they should have access to organization-wide settings.
Everywhere you look on Product Hunt, browser extensions and web apps are absolutely exploding. But if you look at real-world screen time stats, mobile apps still capture the lion s share of daily attention. Is the market splitting in two?
If you built a web-first product, did sticking strictly to desktop actually help your retention, or did it hurt you?
If we exclude Silicon Valley, the one every entrepreneur has already watched, there is a certain kind of comfort I derive from movies and shows about people who actually built something. These days the struggle and the passion pull me in more than almost any other genre.
The last one to get me was Made in India: A Titan Story (2026) the story of a small team building India s first world-class watch. What stayed with me was the number of times they were on the cusp of shutting down before they made the slimmest watch in the world in 1990, not the eventual success.
I don't know if it's inspiration or just a way to feel less alone in the uncertainty of building something myself but I keep coming back to these stories. Some of the best ones I ve found were never big releases.
As builders, we love tracking daily metrics: MRR, GitHub commits, daily workouts, Inbox Zero. Standard habit trackers are incredibly optimized for this gamification.
But lately, I've realized my "mental RAM" gets completely eaten up by the irregular tasks. The stuff you only need to do every few weeks or months:
Changing the AC filter
Watering specific houseplants
Following up with that one dormant enterprise lead
As 2025 comes to a close, it s time to pause and reflect.
Every journey has its milestones. Some loud, some quiet. Some planned, some unexpected.
What was your biggest achievement of 2025? It could be a goal you finally reached, a habit you built, a fear you overcame, or simply not giving up when things got tough.
I launch in 5 days. I have 2 paying customers, gotten before I ve done any of the official launching. So now I ve got a new problem: is 2 a trend, or is 2 just 2?
Here s what I ve got so far, and I genuinely can t tell which of these mean something:
