We love celebrating products, but we realized that we could congratulate the community on their achievements. We launched badges last month with an initial set, but we can t get enough now. If you haven t seen those yet, go to your profile and add badges to your showcase so other users can see what you re most proud of earning. We want to launch another set of badges this quarter (we ve heard a lot of you request a badge for long streaks), so please submit your ideas here, and we ll try to make some of them happen!
a16z published a piece last week arguing that everything at work is being recorded, and that companies who build AI on top of that context layer will win.
Compelling thesis. But it mostly frames recordings as a memory and retrieval problem. I think the more interesting question is what people are actually doing with them beyond transcripts, summaries, and action items.
I've seen teams use recordings for onboarding, async decision reviews, even as a source of truth when things go sideways. But I'm curious what's happening in practice.
A few things I'd love to discuss with the community:
Building a product today guarantees nothing. A year ago, shipping something functional was enough to stand out. Today anyone can vibe code an MVP in a weekend. The barrier to building has collapsed which means the barrier to being copied has collapsed alongside it.
So if the product itself is no longer the moat, what is?
I ve spent the last month building Vetta X, an AI tool that automates distribution on X, and it s been a wild ride.
I decided to visualize my entire codebase recently. Seeing a month of sweat turned into one picture 3,311 nodes, 308 modules really puts the grind into perspective.
I ve been building and preparing multiple products mostly on my own, and I m learning that launching can be just as challenging as building. Between testing, marketing, pricing, finding early users, and deciding when the product is ready, there are a lot of moving parts. For other solo founders, what part of launching has been the most difficult, and what helped you get through it?
We are going live with Ritebot https://www.producthunt.com/prod... today. RiteBot: ChatGPT powered Paraphraser, grammar checker, summariser and translator Let's chat about all things community, AI, ChatGPT, product development, growth and beyond. I am here to answer any and all of your questions. So fire away!
To me it would be "$100 M offers" by Alex Hormozi. Because distribution is crucial now to succeed when you build products.
And the book gives actionable tips to create the best offer.
and you ?
