The Person Behind the Work
Hey, I m Rafiul
I m someone who enjoys figuring things out especially when it comes to tech, building ideas, and understanding how things actually work behind the scenes.
Most of my time goes into learning, experimenting, and trying to turn ideas into something real. Sometimes that means building websites, sometimes testing new strategies, and sometimes just breaking things and learning from it.
I m particularly interested in:
Is Product Hunt still for the "garage" indie maker, or is it dominated by big corps?
I m getting ready for my first-ever product launch, and I ll be honest, I m feeling like the ultimate underdog. I m a 50-year-old Realtor from the Canadian Prairies, and looking at some of these launch teams with their massive marketing budgets and VC backing is a little intimidating.
I built this solution because I had a problem I needed to solve: my own doomscrolling habit. Since I don't have a technical background, I used AI as my "expert partner" to help me navigate the roadmap and bridge the gaps I didn't even know I had.
But now that I'm at the starting line, I have to ask: Can a solo, non-tech founder still rank well here? Or has the platform shifted to favor the big players with the huge email lists?
I d love to hear from other indie makers how do you compete when you don't have a marketing department? Is the "Maker's Story" still enough to get people to pay attention?
From AI engineer to founder — launching Clipo AI tomorrow
Hey everyone! I'm Abhishek, founder of Clipo AI.
Quick background: I spent 8 years building AI systems for video content deep learning research with Sony Japan, then founding AI engineer at Vidyo.ai (now Quso.ai). After working with hundreds of creators, I kept seeing the same problem: one great video recorded, then 6+ hours spent turning it into clips, posts, carousels, and thumbnails using 5-6 different tools.
So I built Clipo one upload, 20 pieces of publish-ready content. Clips with virality scores, branded carousels, voice-aligned LinkedIn/Twitter posts, thumbnails, AI images, subtitles, and more. 12 products in one connected workflow.
We're launching on Product Hunt tomorrow (May 6). This is my first time building in public I've always been the behind-the-scenes engineer. Would love to connect with other makers here.
Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Vlad, based in Bucharest. I work at Hivemind an AI strategy copilot built on top of Myosin's marketing playbook (the agency that's done positioning work across crypto, fintech, and AI). The short version: it's the strategic conversation you'd have with a senior marketer before deciding what to ship, what to write, or what to pitch.
I've spent the last few years in Web3 marketing, community, content, growth, and the pattern that keeps repeating is this: founders don't have a marketing problem, they have a positioning problem dressed up as one. More content, more channels, more outreach. Same flat results. The leverage usually sits one step earlier, in clarity about who you're for and why you matter.
That's the bet behind Hivemind, and it's also why I spend a lot of time on PH and IH lurking through launches and intro posts. Reading how people frame their products tells you more about their go-to-market than any deck does.
Hi I'm Jeff I'm an acquired founder looking to reconnecting with founders!
After several years of founding and running a VC backed startup that got acquired by a fortune 100 I am looking to reconnect with the founder community!
With AI it's such a fun time to build now, but go-to-market is the new bottleneck. I'd love to connect with folks to share stories!
Introducing myself
Hi everyone!
I m Rajiv, and I ve been working on a project called tseda (Time Series Explorer).
If you ve ever stared at a messy time series dataset and wondered where to even start, I built this for you! It s an app designed to take the headache out of exploring and decomposing regularly sampled data (hourly or greater).
The "Why" behind it:
I wanted a tool that didn't just give me a raw plot, but actually helped me understand the structure of the data. tseda uses Singular Spectral Analysis (SSA) to break things down into Trend, Seasonality, and Noise, but it does the heavy lifting for you automating window selection and suggesting component groupings so you aren't just guessing.
Just launched my first product
Hey PH community Just launched Tell Me Your Story today a guided memory app that helps families capture a parent's life story before those moments are lost. Built after my own heart surgery at 39 made me realise I'd never properly asked my parents the questions that really mattered. Would love any feedback from the community tellmeyourstory.uk
Pitch your product here, maybe someone is looking exactly for what you offer.
