I decided to become a hunter to give visibility to builders who can't pay for it.

If you think about it, Product Hunt is a platform where you trade time and feedback for visibility and feedback. And that's huuuuge for people who can't buy visibility but can invest their time.

I was in this case when I built Mailwarm (YC S20). Product Hunt helped us validate and find new customers. We went from $3K MRR to $8K MRR during launch week. That's when I understood how big PH can be for founders with no marketing budget.

Recently I started a builder community focused on Moroccans. I understood that building is not a problem anymore. The bottleneck is go-to-market.

Hey I'm James, a software developer from Australia with 20+ years building things professionally.

Most of my career I've been the person behind the scenes solving hard technical problems, shipping reliable software, making other people's ideas work. Unravl is the first thing I've built entirely for myself, and now I'm figuring out the part they don't teach developers: how to actually get it in front of people who might find it useful.

No funding. No growth team. No playbook. Just me, the product, and a lot of learning in public.

If you've been down this road builder trying to find an audience I'd genuinely love to hear what worked for you. And if Unravl sounds like something you'd use, even better.

I ve been a long-time hunter, but I m finally stepping into the 'Maker' ring. My name is Athithian, and I m currently building Qhound.

Right now Qhound, the goal is to help Nodejs developer who uses BullMQ, better monitor their queue, but soon I will scale for other queuing libraries. It s been a wild journey of 3 months of coding and late nights, but I have finally launched it.

Hi Product Hunt! I am the solo developer behind TapRef, and I am incredibly excited (and a bit nervous) to share what I have been building with you all.

The Problem: Local businesses live and die by their online reputation and foot traffic. But getting a customer from a physical table or counter to a digital action (like leaving a review or viewing a menu) is full of friction. Clunky QR codes often fail, and forcing people to download an app is a conversion killer.

The Solution: I wanted to build something completely frictionless. Enter TapRef: Custom branded NFC cards (with a backup QR code on the back). Customers just tap their phones, and it instantly opens a dynamic link. No app required.

The Aha Feature (The SaaS Magic): Competitors just sell dumb plastic cards. I wanted to build a powerful SaaS layer. Our standout feature is Review Routing (Safe Mode): 4 to 5 star experiences? Routed straight to your Google Maps review page. 1 to 3 star feedback? Intercepted to a private form so the owner can fix the issue.

Hey PH! I m Antoni, 29. I grew up in a family business, my mother and I ran it together for 27 years (yes, I technically started working as a baby). It was more than a business though, it was a tight-knit community of people who genuinely looked out for each other. COVID shut it down. Like so many small businesses, it just couldn t survive the economic fallout. Losing it meant losing that sense of community I d known my whole life and that hit harder than anything.

That feeling is what pushed me to build BuildNix a Discord-native platform that works as both a freelancer marketplace, where clients can find and hire skilled talent, and a product marketplace, where creators can list and sell their digital work.

We ve since grown it into a full website because we re not just building a platform, we re building a future with everyone on it. Our model is simple: freelancers pay a 20% fee, and buyers pay nothing. No hidden costs, no feeling ripped off. We want clients to keep coming back and freelancers to keep getting opportunities.

Hey Product Hunt

I'm Aditya software engineer by day, indie developer by night.

I built Velzio because I kept hitting the same wall every month: salary comes in, somehow it's mostly gone, no idea where. The small stuff chai, auto, Swiggy, random recharges was quietly eating 30 40% of my month without registering.

I tried every expense tracker I could find. Most wanted my bank login or full SMS access. That felt wrong. The ones that didn't need permissions were too clunky to use for more than a week.

Hey Product Hunt community,

I'm Shane, founder of Jootle. Launching tomorrow and wanted to introduce myself first.

Hi all, I am Yaoshen Luo. Here is my late self-introduction.

I ve been in the industry for 14 years. I used to develop positioning and navigation systems for Baidu Maps, worked on recommendation engines, and eventually managed a team of 30+. Currently, I am deeply involved in the R&D of Voice Agent SaaS services.

Hey community, first time here.

I am Manish and I am building TectorAI - a weaving thread that joins all research platforms. Have been in research workflows for my entire career(banking, consulting, commercial strategy) and realized all platforms & tools create excellent research reports - intelligence, but consumption is still difficult. Insights I found disappeared the moment tab was closed. I would end up hours looking for info or recreating my old research.

Hey Product Hunt Fam

I'm Kaavya, co-founder of Scribble, a creator campaign platform helping brands get visible in AI search.

Been deep in the GEO rabbit hole for a while now, running content campaigns and trying to figure out why good content disappears on ChatGPT and Perplexity. Lots of patterns emerged from watching enough campaigns, which eventually turned into a tool.
