Been thinking a lot about how fast original content disappears. It seems news footage, eyewitness video, documentary clips and other original video gets buried under noise within a week. Something goes viral on Monday and by Friday the original is gone, replaced by reposts, edited versions, and debates on what actually happened until it's just... not findable anymore.

Curious if anyone has tackled this problem, what approach you took, and what you think about the tension between platform distribution (reach) and platform dependency (your content disappearing under noise). Specifically interested in eyewitness footage, journalism, and documentary work but any category where permanence matters.

What approach works? What doesn't?

For more than 3 years, I ve always been getting that one request in my DMs: Will you hunt us?

And I think it s great that founders realise launching on Product Hunt can bring publicity.

When I started building AURELIA, I thought complexity came from writing more code.

Now I think it comes from something else.

Every time we add a new feature, we also add a new decision.

After months (or years), those decisions become scattered across files, databases, APIs, and people s memory.

We ve worked in two other eco-systems (India & France), and each has clear strengths and trade-offs in terms of talent density, cost of building, access to capital, speed of decision-making, and openness to risk all vary a lot.

Curious to hear from founders and operators who ve built outside the US:

• Which ecosystem punches the most above its weight today?

• Where do you see the best balance between talent, capital, and customer access?

• Are there cities/countries that are especially strong for specific stages (0 1 vs scaling) or specific verticals (AI, fintech, climate, SaaS, deep tech)?

A lot of large companies (not just tech giants) are laying off employees at scale because AI can already do parts of their work faster, in higher volume, and at a comparable level of quality, sometimes even better.

At the same time, companies are starting to openly admit something important: AI is expensive.

For years, I ve been hearing that we re a mobile-first (or even mobile-only) society.

Smartphones are portable. We spend the most time on them.
Distribution via App Store / Play Store is huge.

So logically You should build for mobile, right?

Hello friends, and welcome back to the changelog. The devs have been running on a balanced diet of espresso shots and questionable amounts of energy drinks, which means you guessed it: fresh updates are here. From saying goodbye to Coming Soon, to giving you a shiny red self-destruct button, to sprucing up Alternatives, and a shiny new footer, we ve packed a lot into this round.

Coming Soon Forum Threads

The old Coming Soon pages have officially retired (and you lot noticed). From now on, every new product you create gets its own forum thread. It is your place to share updates, drop teasers, or just shout into the void while you wait for launch day. People can still follow from your forum page to get notified when you go live, but now you can actually start the conversation early.

I've been noticing an interesting pattern while talking with founders.

For very small teams, spreadsheets, chat, and memory seem to work surprisingly well.

Then something changes.

Not because people become less organized.
