We all have that one repetitive thing. Takes 15 30 minutes. Feels like it could be automated. But you just keep doing it by hand. Every Friday, I manually copy data from three different dashboards into a Google Sheet, reformat the dates, and email it to my team. Takes 25 minutes. I've told myself "I'll automate this" for six months. Still doing it by hand.
Hey guys, some of us build a significant audience after launching a product, mainly because we are limited in workforce and finances. Indeed, having an audience before the launch is critical. How do you handle this issue, especially if you are into marketing?
Many brands have their long-standing mascots (McDonald's, Mr Clean, Michelin), etc. But with the development of AI, physical forms are moving online, and AI avatars look promising in this.
On one hand, it feels less human (authentic), on the other hand, AI influencers are a "cheaper" solution.
As founders, we wear many hats. We all have to learn a bunch of new things DAILY. On any given topic, there is an overwhelming quantity of content. You have to search - vet - learn; rinse and repeat x 100 a day... What's the most effective learning method for you?
I m the founder of https://www.crunchit.ai/. An LLM-assisted system for product analytics helping unravel the black box of growth, experimentation and overall analytics. Ask me anything about storytelling, pitch decks, learning habits or community building (my previous venture onboarded over 600 DAOs). I'll be answering all questions on Monday, the 28th of August
I ve noticed that the purpose of people on Product Hunt is always different. Of course, the vast majority want to become the Product of the Day, Week, Month, or Year (or win Kitty Awards).
However, some are there for the community and their success metrics may lie in something else (e.g. the number of discussions created and rated).
This feels like a hard balance, especially for products that need a bit of context.
If the landing page explains too much, it can start to feel heavy. If it explains too little, people may sign up without really understanding the problem, the use case, or why the product matters.
I ve seen products where the tool itself is good, but the first reaction is still: I don t get it yet.
For makers here, what do you try to make clear before signup, and what do you leave for users to discover inside the product?
