I ve noticed that many health products have a real chance of getting featured on Product Hunt.
And it makes sense. Health is the most valuable thing we have, so if a product is innovative and genuinely helpful, it should be accessible to as many people as possible.
People love to obsess over age. Every time a teenager ships something, the headline is: Look, they re only 17! It s become a whole genre of founder story.
You can claim your Instagram, TikTok, X and YouTube accounts and see how that content performs on Google Search, Discover and Google News. What it adds is the Google query that preceded the visit, per post, with clicks and impressions you can filter, sort and export. The reports are the smaller half of this. In December 2025 Google ran an experiment that put social channel data into the Insights report, for a limited set of websites Search Console had already identified automatically. It needed a site. This is a separate property type, Google's phrasing on 7 July was "even those without their own website," and the four setup steps they published do not include a website anywhere. A creator with an Instagram account and no site can now hold a Search Console property. That is a change in who gets Search data at all. What I want to test: The Insights report identifies top, trending up and trending down query groups sending traffic from Google Search to your content. For a small business that reads like topic research you did not commission. Google pairs annotations with checking whether an external update, such as rewriting a YouTube title or TikTok caption, affected search performance over time. It pairs the 24-hour filter with catching sudden spikes. Running those together is my idea rather than Google's guidance, and I want to see whether it holds up. Exporting several properties into one spreadsheet lets you compare how your content performs side by side across platforms rather than arguing about which one carries a topic. Worth knowing before you open it. This counts only traffic that arrived from Google, not your in-app views or follower reach. A small number is a finding about that one source. One caution. None of Google's three posts on this says claiming a property affects your visibility, and I have not seen data either way. I am reading it as measurement until someone shows otherwise. Setup is in Search Console under Add property. https://developers.google.com/se... I'm running all my tests, building in public at https://www.ryanlenk.com
My monthly api bills for proprietary models are getting pretty high as a solo dev. Thinking about switching to hosted llama or mistral on cloud servers but I'm worried about server upkeep and paying for idle GPU time. Not sure if the monthly server bill actually ends up saving anything. For anyone running self-hosted models are you actually saving money compared to normal api keys?
As my app traffic grows keeping up with open AI API costs is becoming a huge monthly expense. I've been eyeing self-hosted setups for Llama to cap my spending but I keep hearing mixed stories. Running cloud GPUs 24/7 means paying even when traffic is low and managing server maintenance takes away time I could spend building features. Plus if output quality drops users might notice right away. Have you swapped paid APIs for hosted open-source models and did it lower your monthly run rate or just add headache?
Since I've been watching Bryan Johnson's experiments on his body, I've also become interested in tools that help to improve life. (Mainly hardware, but also software.)
In my opinion, more and more people from more developed countries want to improve the quality of their lives, and therefore they are willing to invest quite a lot in these things.
I can see it predominantly in the US market, UK, Canada, Germany, France, and possibly Sweden.
