🤝Let’s get to know each other better

I know there’s a p/introduce-yourself topic here on PH, but honestly, it’s hard to meet everyone there.

So let’s do it here.

• Who are you?

• What are you working on?

• What are you addicted to?

• And why are you here on Product Hunt?

I’ll start with myself =)

I’m Adana, 36 yo.
Scenographer by diploma.

12+ years in animation production, mostly as a production manager.
Along the way, I co-founded RunEvr - Agentic project management environment for creatives, with our studio founder, .

I’m addicted to learning something new - and not just knowledge, facts, news. I love discovering new ways of thinking, unexpected stories, different kinds of people, and ideas I’ve never considered before.

And then, naturally, trying to create something new inspired by all of that.

I’m here on PH to launch products, meet fellow makers, discover interesting new products, exchange ideas, and, of course, hear from you.

So, who are you? 👇

Love this format. ❤️

  • Nika, 29 y.o. – but people think I am a teenager (I sometimes behave like that) :D

  • According to high school, I was supposed to be an accountant.
    According to university, I was supposed to be a marketer. – I am.
    Used to be a yoga instructor.

  • Currently working in marketing – different projects (social media for real estate, for a theatre event, marketing in general for a digital detox app)

  • And the latest project I am working on is – a LinkedIn activity tracker that alerts you when you engage too much and too fast, so you will avoid LinkedIn account restrictions.

  • I am addicted to sport, work, travelling and learning new things.

  • Product Hunt is a place with growth and a supportive mindset. So I decided to grow the community, meet new people and find new tech products.

    P.S. Pretty dope that you used to be in something so closely related to moviemaking :)

 We’ve met here and there under different posts and topics, but it’s nice to get to know you a little better! 💚

Do you still practice yoga for yourself? I think yoga is one of those things that, once you start, you can’t really give up.

And behaving like a teenager is exactly what we need to keep fresh ideas and the energy to actually act on them =D

 Yoga Or exercising in general is good for mind switch :)

Daniel Zaitzow here - Living in Vancouver BC - working on a project that just went live today called - addicted to being bad at golf and honestly just hanging with my daughter at this point in life haha.

On product hunt to engage with the community primarily and after 1100 or so days of engaging for others - I am pushing my first product today

Huge congrats on Outcome hitting #1 on Product Hunt! 🏆 I love the idea of turning content into genuinely personalized outcomes, it feels like a smarter evolution of the traditional funnel.


And being addicted to being bad at golf is a dangerous habit… but at least you’re getting plenty of forethought into it. 😂

Honestly, spending time with your daughter sounds like the best addiction of all, that's a pro dad move, mate.  

 Thanks so much my man! We've still got most of the day ahead of us but the community support has been killer - lmk if you want to jump in and throw a comment in the thread as we're still grinding to keep that spot!

The golf one I unfortunately developed before I had a kid so that was my biggest mistake - it seems to be like my mistress that I never see now.

As a dad no - I approve of the forethought joke and I will tell you that starting golf before having a child was not the best foresight I could have had.

Anyhoo - I've sent over a follow on PH and shot over a linkedin connection request!

 Upvote, comment, follow all in the bag, my man 🤝. I'm glad you caught the dad joke 😂. Heading over to LinkedIn to do the needful.

 imagine missing that joke - would be alarming and I wouldn't expect you to accept my request.

Farrukh, solo founder, based in Pakistan.

Been building letsflw an AI writing platform, 100+ tools plus some workflow automation, launched here on PH a couple weeks back.

Addicted to figuring out distribution, which turns out to be a whole different skill than building the thing itself.

Here on PH mostly to actually be around between launches, not just show up once with something to sell.

 Nice to meet you! =)

How is tech education and the tech industry in Pakistan? Is there a strong ecosystem for makers, or do most people learn and build through their own initiative?

 Honestly, mixed bag. Real CS education exists and it's grown a lot, but most people who actually ship things learned outside of it, YouTube, forums, just building and breaking stuff.

Maker scene here is smaller than places like India, but genuinely growing. Still feels early, infrastructure hasn't caught up to the talent yet.

Real talent, self-taught energy, ecosystem playing catch-up.

 “Infrastructure hasn’t caught up to the talent yet” - sharp !

I think self-taught energy can win even against places with a good ecosystem.

Today, everyone who has the drive can get somewhere they’d like to be.

 Agreed, and honestly that's the part that keeps me optimistic about it. Ecosystem helps, but it's not the gate it used to be.

I’m Akarsh, a software developer and co-founder of Meridiona. I’m building Meridian, an open-source, local-first work journal that helps developers turn scattered activity into clear, reviewable updates.

I’m addicted to debugging difficult problems, experimenting with AI tools, and learning how strong products are built and distributed.

I’m here to meet other makers, learn from their experiences, exchange honest feedback, and share what we discover while building Meridian.

 You’re kind of a diagnostician if you enjoy debugging difficult bugs =D
Where are you from, and where does your passion for AI tools come from?
Did you develop this passion through building, or did building start because of that passion?

I’m from Bengaluru, India. My interest in AI tools grew through using AI to solve real development problems. So for me, the passion and the building reinforced each other.

 It was nice meeting you. Wishing you the best of luck!

Hello Everyone👋

I’m Rohan, a Software Engineer focused on building web products with Laravel, PHP, TYPO3 and exploring AI-assisted development.

I’m currently working on products and open-source tools, and honestly, I’m addicted to building things, experimenting with new AI tools.


I’m here on Product Hunt to discover interesting products, connect with fellow makers, share what I build, and learn from the community.

Great to meet everyone here! 🚀

 Nice to meet you ! Where are you from?
And what’s the latest open-source tool you’ve been working on?

 Nice to meet you too, Adana! 😊 I’m from India.

I’ve been working on a few open-source projects recently:

• LaraCopilot: an AI-powered development tool for Laravel developers:

• Freedium: a Chrome extension for reading Medium articles:
GitHub:


• TOON for TYPO3 CMS:
a TYPO3 implementation of TOON, officially listed in the TOON ecosystem:
Extension:
GitHub:

Would be great to connect on socials too and see what you’re building! 🚀

 Really impressive!

Is there a difference in being based in India? I imagine the competition is pretty intense in the space you’re in. Or do you think these days location matters less, and what you build and how you execute matter more?

BTW, connected on LinkedIn. Let’s stay in touch =)

Thank you, . I agree, location matters much less these days, especially in tech and open source. India has plenty of competition, but I see that as motivation to keep learning and building.


I think what you build, how you execute, and the people you connect with matter much more.


And thanks for connecting on LinkedIn! Let’s stay in touch. 🚀

Hey, , thank you for starting this!

I’m Alexey

12+ years as a software engineer, including Meta, Lyft, and Lazada.

Like a lot of you, I hit a wall with burnout and stress from years of shipping, so I built OceanMind, an app that helps you shift your state in the moment through breathwork and AI-personalized practices. Before that I co-founded NovaOcean, a profitable digital agency.

Outside of work: surfing, sailing, horseback riding. Bay Area based.

Here on PH to see what others are building and get OceanMind in front of people who might actually use it.

 Nice to meet you!

Wow, interesting background! Reading OceanMind and NovaOcean, I started thinking - maybe Alexey has a special connection with water and the ocean itself? And then I found the answer in your hobbies list =)

Working with breathwork is a really cool idea for a product. I guess it’s a mobile app? Can you share it with us?

Lisa, Head of Marketing at Softorino, where we make small Mac and Windows utilities. Today I ran my first launch of my own, a free in-browser converter, so right now I am addicted to refreshing the dashboard. Here because the useful feedback shows up in threads like this rather than in my analytics.

 Nice to meet you! =)

Wow, share your launch here! Would be interesting to watch & support.

 Today's my first Product Hunt launch 🥺

Softorino Online Converter turns video & audio into the format you need, free, right in your browser, nothing ever uploads. It works even offline.

An upvote & a short comment would help me a loooot ❤️

 Of course! Especially since I really liked your converter idea =)

  Nice to meet you too. It is Softorino Online Converter, live on Product Hunt today, and it converts video, audio and GIFs right in the browser with nothing uploaded. Easiest way to find it is a search here for Softorino.

The learning mindset really sttod out to me. I'm curious how your animation background shaped the way you think about managing vreative teams and projects today. Has working with creatives changed how you approach product development?

 I'm a creative myself. I joined an animation studio as an animation intern, but because I'm very curious, I started going deeper into every stage of production - concepts, scripts, 3D modeling, rendering, editing, sound, etc. =)

Over time, I started to understand the whole production flow myself and naturally moved into managing the processes.

I realized that creative minds can't be managed only by tools. They need more freedom, less cognitive load, and less switching between tabs to really create something great.

So we started building RunEvr for ourselves - and eventually realized it could help other creative teams too.

Love this idea, Adana!

I’m Hareesh - a product engineer turned founder, currently building , an AI-native customer support and feedback platform that brings scattered customer conversations into one place and turns them into useful insights.

I’m addicted to building internet products, talking to users, and building tools for the product! 😅

I’m on Product Hunt to meet other makers, learn how they build and distribute their products, discover useful tools, and get honest feedback - not just polite upvotes.

RunEvr sounds fascinating. Creative teams usually need structure without having creativity managed out of them. Curious how you’re balancing those two.

 Nice to meet you!

ProductBridge sounds really interesting! I just signed up and will find some time to explore it more deeply soon =)

Actually, as I’m a creative myself, I’ve experienced firsthand what makes it difficult to be managed. So when we started building RunEvr, we tried to take every little detail into account to avoid breaking the creative flow and make the whole process feel more natural.

And where are you from?
How did this addiction to building things come into your life?

I’m David, a brand designer focused on building strategic, story-driven identities for ambitious companies.

I run a solo design studio (davemadeit) and I’m currently working on helping startups turn good products into brands people understand, remember, and trust—through strategy, visual identity, and storytelling.


I won't call it an addiction per se 😂, but (formally) I love understanding why certain brands stick. I’m constantly looking at products, identities, and the tiny design decisions that make something feel distinctive. (Informally) I love playing Call Of Duty and watching Anime.


I'm here on PH to discover what people are building, meet interesting founders and makers, exchange ideas, and hopefully find a few products that genuinely change how I work.

Happy to connect ✌️

 Nice to meet you, David!
I liked the way you separated your formal and informal preferences =D

Have you ever thought about building your own product or tool?

 Nice to meet you as well, Adana. Yep, I like to connect with like minded people formally or informally. Well, never really gave it a thought, heck, it's never even crossed my mind to build my own product or tool. Maybe sometime in the future, but for now? Nada.

 Wishing you lots of success as well! And who knows, maybe one day you’ll suddenly find yourself building your own product =D
