I'm interested to hear what everyone has to say about this! Especially in tech, the world and people's needs are constantly changing. This means that the products we're creating have to change with it, and the most successful products tell people what they need before they know they need it. As exciting as this is, it's super hard too. Reaching out to fellow trailblazers: what do you think about this? What are some of the tradeoffs?
We re happy @Mercury customers here at Product Hunt. We previously used SVB (I ve used them at other startups as well), but the interface was clunky, and the bureaucratic process was frustrating so we switched to Mercury and couldn t be happier!
Mercury recently introduced expense and reimbursement features. While it may not have all the bells and whistles and detailed permissioning of longer-established options like @Brex , it meets our current needs.
My friends at Kittl just launched a great alternative today which enables everyone to create complex Illustrator like designs without the need to study complex software (so they are coming from a ux and ease of use angle): https://www.producthunt.com/post... I was wondering who of you are using alternatives to illustrator, which ones and why?
I build a trading bot for Polymarket, so Brazil's runoff on Sunday was an interesting one to watch. The week before the vote, the market priced Fl vio Bolsonaro at 77% while Datafolha and MDA had the race basically tied. On election night, after 8:30 p.m. ET, Kalshi still had Lula at 21%. He won 51.8 to 48.2.
The next morning B3 hit its circuit breaker at the open for the first time since 2020. The Ibovespa closed down 13.9%, the dollar jumped 8% against the real, and EWZ lost 22% in New York. Stocks had been priced for a Bolsonaro win too, and the market moved all at once when that turned out wrong.
