Hey Product Hunt! This morning I launched my first solo product ever: Controol a minimalist finance app built around one idea:
Know how much you can spend, not just what you already did.
No team. No paid ads. No launch list. Just late nights and building something I personally needed. I honestly didn t expect much but hours later, it made it to the Top 5 of the day
The feeling? Wild. Strangers are connecting with the mindset behind it, and it's been amazing to read their comments.
Between Slack channels, Teams groups, WhatsApp threads, and Telegram I feel like I'm in a constant catch-up loop and I still miss things. Curious if this is just us or if it's universal. What's your actual number, and have you found anything that helps?
@mat_sherman and I have been talking about meditation and I was remembering I had tested out @Calm and @Headspace. I searched forums and see references to these in convos 5 years ago. They still seem like the main contenders, but I also just downloaded @Insight Timer App @Breathwrk and https://www.meditatehappier.com/ too.
Anyone have experience with any of these? I'm new to meditation, have tried it a few times but have yet to build a habit and need to! Any recs are greatly appreciated!
Anthropic is rolling out weekly rate limits for Claude Code on Pro and Max plans starting August 28. They're saying it'll only affect ~5% of subscribers, the ones running Claude Code continuously in the background, plus a handful violating ToS by sharing or reselling accounts.
As a founder building a hardware + app product (InvisOutlet Pro launching soon ), I ve found myself going way too deep on tiny details most people will never think about: icons used in our app, length of screws, even how the packaging folds.
Some of these details make a huge impact others? Maybe just to me
Tons of great products that we know and use everyday are the result of pivots. You know, sometimes the original idea just isn't working and you have to find a new niche and quick, other times you stumble on a use case that changes the whole game.
Have you ever pivoted? What's the story behind it? How successful was the pivot? I'd love to hear your stories, and potentially feature them in our newsletters!
