How much time do you spend testing your product in a week?

I'm in an infinity loop of testing - fixing - testing again.

After fixing one thing, something else broken.

Just wonder how you perform the testing after every release without breaking the existing ones?

Do you have any QA framework, automated testing or AI assisted tools?

If your landing page names six audiences, is that positioning or is it hedging?

My landing page names six different kinds of customer. Six cards, each with its own headline and its own reason this is for you. The thing behind them does exactly one job, and it does it identically no matter which of the six you happen to be.

I wrote the six on purpose. The logic was that a stranger scrolling wants to see themselves on the page, and one generic line does that for nobody. Recognition is cheap to add and it feels like it ought to help.

I've started to think the six cards are doing the opposite. A page that speaks to six people can read like it was written for none of them, and the more specific each card gets, the more obvious it is that nothing underneath changes when you pick one.

Three moves I've looked at and not made.

Best apps to make a photo or cartoon character dance to music/audio?

Hi everyone,

I m looking for tools that can take a single image of a person or cartoon character and make them dance in sync with an audio track, so the movement follows the rhythm and beats of the sound.

I ve already tried open-source models, Wan2.2 and LTX. The results weren t good enough. The motion was off-beat or barely there, and the character s identity drifted over time.

What I need:

Why are there so many Voice AI Companies? (And why that's both good and bad)

Scroll through Product Hunt for two weeks, and you'll see a new voice AI agent, dubbing tool, or "AI receptionist" almost daily. As somebody who's been building in this space and observing it for the last 2.5 years, here're a couple of insights I gathered over time:

Why so many?
Voice is the one interface nobody has to learn. We spoke long before we wrote. Keyboards, apps and dashboards all needed training, but talking doesn t. So once quality got good enough post-2022, adoption didn t need a change in behaviour. It only needed a threshold to be crossed across latency, naturalness or say, interruption handling.
The demand was also already sitting there. A lot of business still runs on phone calls: support, collections, appointments, follow-ups. They re expensive to staff and hard to scale. Also, during last 2 years, building demos got cheaper and cheaper. With decent APIs for speech, LLMs and telephony, one person can wire up a convincing agent in a weekend. This is good for innovation and building use cases for something as niche as HVAC service renewals support.
But what's good for innovation is also the reason for the noise. Buyers are the ones who pay for that noise. Every two-minute demo looks the same. Everyone says 'human-like' and 'enterprise-ready', and almost none of it can be checked before you pay for a pilot. The cutthroat market is trying to undercut each other's prices to zero.

Why are builders still creating native mobile apps when modern web apps can do 90% of the job?

Hi Product Hunt community!

I have a genuine question for builders and product managers here about the necessity of native iOS/Android apps for simple utility tools.

Years ago, if you wanted to build a smooth, high-performance tool like a video compressor, photo editor, or drawing board you had no choice but to build a native mobile app. Web apps were simply too slow and lacked access to heavy device processing.

But with WebAssembly (WASM), WebGPU, and modern browser engines, we can compile heavy native libraries and run them directly in the browser at near-native speeds.

Do fancy UI animations actually help users get things done?

This hit way too close to home. It is so easy to fall into the trap of building flashy features just because they look cool on Twitter or get nods in design reviews.

I spent weeks polishing a complex dashboard animation once only to realize nobody cared about it while a basic CSV export button we ignored was causing daily support tickets.

Shifting the focus from "will this look impressive" to "does this actually save time" changed everything.

Have you ever spent too much time on a feature that looked great but added zero real value?

Why do market researched ideas always feel so generic?

It feels risky to spend time building something just for yourself when everyone says you need to validate a massive market first.

But the truth is market research usually makes you copy what everyone else is already doing. When you fix an annoying bottleneck in your own day you build something with a very sharp edge that nobody else thought of. Sharing those little tools is how our best products actually started.

Have you ever turned a private script into a real public project?

Do your best projects usually start as secret side tools?

Trying to guess what a generic market wants always leads to the most boring software. Whenever I try to build something based on market research I end up overcomplicating every single feature just to please a hypothetical user who doesn't even exist.

But the tiny scripts I hack together on a Sunday just to fix my own messy workflow always turn out to be the stuff people actually want to use. Building purely out of personal frustration keeps things so simple.

Do you usually release your internal side tools publicly or keep them private?

20 of my pages still emit schema for a rich result Google killed 114 days ago

I ran a check on my own site today and found markup for a feature that stopped existing in May.

Google added a deprecation notice to the FAQ rich result on 8 May 2026, saying it would no longer appear in Search from 7 May. On 15 June they deleted the documentation page entirely. The reason they gave was that the feature is no longer shown in Search results.

My site never noticed. My own /faq route returns 200 today and still serves an FAQPage block with 18 acceptedAnswer entries in it. Twenty route files emit the same schema, plus a helper that builds it for every blog post.

Nothing failed, and that is the part worth sitting with. The FAQPage type is still defined in the vocabulary, so every validator passes it. The build compiles. No test covers whether Google still renders the thing. The only change happened on Google's side, and there is no channel that carries it back to you.

How do you recognize a compounding project before it's too late?

It's so easy to mistake a launch spike for long-term product market fit.

We tend to pour all our energy into the flashy project because it validates our effort immediately with likes and visits. But the quiet products that solve a real, recurring pain point are the ones that actually survive.

I lost months pushing a hyped tool that churned everyone, while a boring utility tool was slowly building a loyal user base in the background.

Are you planning to shift your focus back to the second project full-time?
