Tonight, we are hosting a small hackathon in Phoenix in partnership with @bolt.new! All the hackers get free credits to build whatever they can imagine during the hackathon. Thanks Bolt for the hookup! In this forum thread, all the hackers will submit their projects and vote on their favorite one (they can't vote on their own).
The top project will get hunted on @Product Hunt by me! If you want to follow along, come back to this thread in an hour or so and the submissions will start rolling in.
Feel free to vote yourself if you feel compelled even if you aren't here hacking with us.
Let the hacking begin!!!!!!
Hey Product Hunt community!
We gearing up for the launch of WebGremlin.ai and of course, planning to submit to PH. But I’m curious, where else do you share your products to get traction? What are other platforms, forums, or communities that have worked well for you (like hackernews)? And while we’re at it, what’s your go-to initial launch strategy to make some noise?
Thanks in advance!
Since the start of the year, over 30 people have approached me about working together – only a few actually paid.
The paying clients were straightforward: they booked, paid, and it was done.
The rest asked endless questions and wanted previews, and then disappeared out of nowhere.
Apart from the fact that it is demotivating, it is also time-demanding to answer it all.
Does this happen to you too?
How do you handle it?
Side note (for me):
I admit that I need to do some improvements, e.g. add section: How it works

@Zapier, @Make, @Relay.app , @n8n , @Activepieces, @Pabbly So many automation tools in 2025! 🙈
I cannot decide what to choose for beginners but with a wish to become a pro userFrom my recent research, quick insights
@Zapier still wins for ease-of-use and integrations, but might be expensive and has low free limitations
@Relay.app is amazing for beginners due to built-in AI workflows
@Make remains top for complex automation
👇 My takeaways for new users from my one day research
For fast setup → Zapier or Relay
For free flexibility → Activepieces (self-hosted)
For complex workflows → Make
But every tool has its hidden traps and secret advantages only daily users know about.
I'd love your experience on these points:
⚙️ Which automation tool are you actually using right now, and why?
🌱 What's best for newbies vs. advanced users?
🕳 Have you discovered any hidden limitations or unexpected costs for those platforms?
Drop your thoughts below 👇 Let's help each other automate smarter!
A successful product is often seen as one that is well-commercialized, with users willing to pay for it. But is that always the case?
Today, I came across many products that are incredibly fun and creative. It made me wonder: are there products that don’t fit the conventional definition of success? Maybe some exist just to bring joy, even if users simply visit, smile, and leave.
Some might argue that if something brings value, people will naturally be willing to pay. But is that always true?
Let’s discuss:💬 Is profitability the only way to define an app’s success?💡 Do you create apps to make money, or is there another motivation behind your work?
I see a lot of tech products on Product Hunt that are meant to improve someone else's business situation, and as many makers as possible are ideally targeting the B2B market.
However, this past week I've also seen a lot of "fun" products that not only made it into the featured category but also earned one of the product of the day titles.
According to statistics, the most downloaded apps are games and probably this category earns the most money.
No wonder, because:
people like to be entertained
people like to spend time doing an easy activity
monetisation can be quite easy with in-app ads
this category of apps will be used by everyone (kids as well as adults)
gamification only intensifies this situation so people are more likely to spend their time there (this is also valid for Duolingo, or also various "casino games", and "esports games")
So if there's a lot of money in this sector, why aren't you making games? 😀
If you happen to be a game developer – feel free to share what you created. + I am also curious how you marketed it. 🙂
Additional info – the app categories generating the most revenue globally as for 2024:
🎲 Gaming
📺 Entertainment
📱 Social media

🎧 Music

Juan from PH
Hi everyone, Gabe here! I lead curating Product Hunt's leaderboard.
First thing I will say is that if I could feature every single product that works, I would. I love supporting makers and demoing products. I actually try to test every single thing that gets hunted every day... which is A TON. But I view our job as to surface the most interesting, novel, useful, and innovative products - daily. Now we may not always get it right, the process isn't perfect, but we're trying to do right by the community.
Hopefully, you've noticed that over the past months the quality of the leaderboard has felt really good. (Please share your thoughts!) Some of the things that I've been doing aside from testing and reviewing products is reaching out to makers to help them with their launches, provide feedback on why something may not be featurable, and help makers craft their best launch as possible. Scalable -> no. Huge impact -> I think so. I'm working with the team on how to create a more scalable version of this but for now just know I try to make myself available to you all.
Top mistakes I've seen
Product is waitlisted
People schedule a draft.... (we have a draft function!)
Maker's profile is their product/business and not an actual user account
Tagline does not describe the product ie. "Best way to earn users" vs "Capture user data with a single button in your iOS app"
Too much marketing jargon, not enough product description / story
NO PRODUCT SHOTS/VIDEOS -> just marketing fluff images
Only one image that is a low quality screenshot
Using a paid service for upvotes/hunters -> this will get you unfeatured or severely impact your launch
Some other notes to consider:
We've gotten stricter on keeping true to our Featuring Guidelines.
We highly recommend making a draft and sharing with folks to make sure it passes the "mom test" -> do they get what you're launching?
If you can quickly Google a solution that similar to what you're launching then really make sure your launch stands out. Focus on highlighting what's special about your product vs being too general.
Highly recommend having a loom or some sort of visual that showcases the start process, the end result your product produces, and what's special about your product.
Be honest, authentic, and have fun.
With all that being said, AMA! I'll try to answer as much as I can without getting fired
I have made a list of platforms where you can create your community and share your knowledge in a closed circle (and in some cases sell memberships).
The list is according to my preferences, so the platforms I use the most are at the top.
Slack
Discord
WhatsApp groups (or alternatives Signal, Telegram)
Skool
Circle
Patreon
HeroHero
Disco
Mighty Networks
Do you have your own platform recommendations that I haven't mentioned but are worth paying attention to?
Feel free to expand the list. 👇
Every time I try out a new app or SaaS tool, I go straight to the pricing page, even if I don’t plan to buy or subscribe. I’m just curious to see how much they thinks it’s worth.
Most products still stick with the good old subscription model, which makes sense, it's reliable, predictable, and aligns with ongoing costs. But more and more apps are starting to offer a lifetime option as well, and honestly… I kind of love that.
It’s just nice to pay once, know what you’re getting, and not worry about monthly bills adding up, especially for early tools that might not be part of my everyday stack yet, but show a lot of potential. Plus, as a user, it creates this weirdly satisfying feeling of ownership. Like “Yep, this is mine now.” 😄 Of course, I get why subscriptions exist too, they help keep products sustainable and support ongoing development and as a founder myself, in most cases I would prefer using subscriptions, because it is more predictable.
Curious to hear your take:👉 Do you prefer subscriptions or one-time lifetime deals?👉 And if you’re a founder: What’s worked best for you so far?
Let’s talk pricing psychology. 😅
Notion, Obsidian, and Roam are great, but they’re not for everyone. Maybe you found something simpler, faster, or just less overwhelming. What’s the one productivity tool you actually stick with—the one that makes life easier instead of adding more work?
I think by 2030, the real question won't be "Do you use AI?" but "Can you work without it?"
I noticed this in my own life recently.
I always said "I'm terrible at design" whenever I needed to make something look nice.
Last week I tried using an AI design tool, and suddenly I was creating decent-looking social media graphics in minutes.
The AI didn't replace my ideas or decisions it just removed that barrier that was always in my way.
Some studies have shown that most jobs won't be completely replaced by AI, but almost every job will have some tasks that AI can help with.
I've been using @Google Chrome for years and honestly never thought much about changing. It just always seemed like the best and easiest option. Lately though, I've been feeling like maybe I'm missing out. Chrome doesn't feel like the no-brainer pick anymore, and I'm seeing more and more interesting browsers out there.
Currently, @Horse is my top pick. This is the one I'm most interested in trying out, but it also seems like a pretty different approach. I don't necessarily want my productivity to dip, but that may just be inevitable whenever switching.
I also know a lot of people love @Arc, but it seems like development on it has ended? Not sure if now's still a good time to start using it. Maybe I missed the window?
Of course, there's always Firefox from @Mozilla, but it sounds like some recent terms of service and privacy policy changes made some folks unhappy. I'm a bit out of the loop on that.
Am I missing any other good options for a modern browser?
For those that have made the switch and left Chrome behind, what did you switch to? And what helped with the transition?
Hey Product Hunters!
I’ve seen a lot of people jump straight into building an app without validating the idea first. Some succeed, but many end up realizing too late that there’s little demand for their product.
So, I’m curious - how do you validate your business ideas before diving into development?
Do you:
Conduct market research and competitor analysis?
Build a landing page and run ads to gauge interest?
Interview potential users to understand their pain points?
Launch an MVP and iterate based on feedback?
Or do you use other methods? If yes, what are they?
Or, on the flip side, do you believe in the “build first, validate later” approach? Maybe you’ve found that true innovation comes from just creating and seeing what sticks.
I’d love to hear your experiences - what has worked (or not worked) for you? Let’s discuss!
I recently started building a tool for content creators and startup founders who want to stay consistent on Threads. I’ve realized how hard it is to promote something when you’re just starting and don't have an audience yet. If you don’t have a big following or a budget, what worked for you?
Did you focus on one platform at a time?
Did you document your process?
Did you post daily even if no one was watching?
Curious to hear how others approached early stage promotion. Right now I’m experimenting with scheduling, batching, and smart tagging to stay organized while posting on Threads consistently but I want to learn what’s working for others too. 🙌
THIS AMA WILL GO LIVE AT 9am PST March 19Hey Product Hunt!
I’m Merrill Lutsky, co-founder & CEO of Graphite, the code review platform for the age of AI.
I founded Graphite in 2020 with my co-founders Tomas & Greg, bubbling together during covid & running the office out of a tiny apartment in the East Village, NYC. Since then we’ve grown to a team of 30 people in our Soho office serving thousands of customers, from small startups to massive orgs like Shopify, Snowflake, Datadog, and more!
So many companies right now are focused on the “inner loop” of software development: using AI to generate code. However, anyone who has been a software engineer at a larger company knows this is only half of the story - those code changes still need to pass through the “outer loop” of development: reviewing, testing, merging, and deploying. As AI code generation tools like Windsurf, Cursor, & Copilot help us write code faster than ever, we also need an AI-native "outer loop" toolchain that can keep pace. Graphite is building this new outer loop, using AI to help cut down on review cycles and ship higher quality code, faster.
Ask me anything about what it’s like to found and grow a devtools company during a global pandemic, how AI is changing software engineering, or even my thoughts on techno, techwear, or training for marathons!
We all have that one productivity tool that's frustrating, overly complicated, or just clunky. But for some inexplicable reason, we can't live without it. Maybe it's because your team is hooked, or maybe it just gets the job done despite the friction.
What's the one tool you secretly dread using but keep coming back to anyway? And more importantly: what's keeping you loyal despite the love/hate relationship?
Today I read this message:Instagram has just added the ability to write comments with AI.
A similar option LinkedIn has (it offers pre-written recommended comments like "Congratulations")
In my opinion, social media is about being Social.
But I also understand the development of technology, the attention economy and the mass of content produced.
We are being pushed to speed up everything with artificial intelligence. That's why we see more tools on the market that will write comments for us.
How do you perceive it? Does using AI comments make sense?
I personally see it this way:
I use AI for grammar correction
This is perhaps more worthwhile for big creators to interact with their fans faster and on a large scale at minimal cost
I would rather see some cooperation between a human and AI (for example, being aware of what the AI wrote and I will edit it according to my own needs)
Maybe AI interaction will bore us so much in the online space that we will start communicating with each other offline (face-to-face).
Feel free to share your thoughts. 👇
I would love to be able to do this:
-take a screen shot of a page (check)
-paste it into figma (check)
-click a button that makes "components" out of the obvious things on the page, like buttons, text, etc. -do some editing of the text, change some colors, etc. is there a plugin or a setting i'm missing that makes this easy? I haven't found anything with some cursory searching. I am a total figma noob, so it's possible this is really easy and I'm just missing something obvious.
I’ve been exploring MCP, an open standard from @Anthropic that aims to simplify AI integrations.
In theory, this should make it easier to connect AI with databases, task managers, or even development tools. But I’m curious to know how well it actually works in practice.
If you’ve tried MCP with PostgreSQL, Todoist, or other services, I’d love to hear:🔹 What was your experience setting it up?🔹 What limitations have you come across?
I’ll be sharing a deeper dive soon, but if you’ve worked with MCP, drop a comment — I’d love to hear real-world experiences! 👇You can check the full description here https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction if you want to dive deep into the new protocol
My environment consists of many solo founders.
However, when I see someone is already starting to hire an employee, the question crosses my mind: What profit has that person achieved when they can afford to pay another extra person?
In some cases, I have seen a call for volunteering, but now I have a purely interesting employment relationship.
Is it determined by the turnover or profit multiple from a given project?
How did you determine the right time for hiring the first employee?
Hey everyone! ,
I’ve been noticing that many people find it tough to speak English fluently—especially during job interviews or in professional settings.
I’m thinking about building an AI-powered app that could help with:
Random 1-on-1 audio chats so you can practice speaking with real people.
AI-driven mock interviews that analyze your resume and ask job-related questions.
Real-time feedback on pronunciation, fluency, and confidence.
I’d love to know:
Do you struggle with this?
What’s your biggest challenge while speaking English?
If an AI tool could help, what feature would you want most?
I’m not selling anything, just trying to see if this is a real problem worth solving. Would really appreciate your thoughts!
