I've been building MetricSync as a solo dev because I kept seeing the same issue: people do not quit nutrition tracking because they hate the goal. They quit because the logging loop gets annoying or stops feeling trustworthy.

The current bet is simple:

• cheaper than CalAI

• 3 day free trial

• focused on faster logging and easier corrections

• trying to make AI nutrition tracking feel useful after week one, not just magical on day one

I'd genuinely love feedback from anyone who has tried CalAI, MyFitnessPal, or Cronometer.

hey producthunt fam, Stephan here.

Hey everyone,

I ve been building a product called Dealtree and wanted to share it here to get some honest feedback.

The idea came from a pretty frustrating pattern I kept running into during B2B sales.

Hey Product Hunt community,

We just launched TransferSecure - a file transfer service that lets you send files up to 5 GB for free, no account needed on the recipient's end.

A few things we focused on that most transfer tools skip:

• Every file up to 200MB is virus-scanned before the download link activates

• Files are encrypted in transit and at rest

• Links auto-expire and files are permanently deleted after expiry

• No forced sign-ups - just verify your email and send

We re all builders here, which usually means at some point we looked at something clunky, slow, or frustrating and thought, there has to be a better way. Most products don t start with a grand vision; they start with irritation, curiosity, or firsthand pain.

I d love to learn more about how others here have navigated that journey:

How did you uncover the problem you decided to work on?
What signals told you this problem was worth solving?
How did you validate (if at all) whether people would actually pay for a solution?
Has your product stayed true to the original problem, or did it evolve into something different?
What surprised you the most along the way?

Most people want to journal.

They just don t stick with it.

So here's what happened. We were running campaigns, watching our click metrics climb, feeling pretty good about performance. Then we started digging into where those clicks actually came from.

Half of them were bots.

Not simple ones either. Headless browsers mimicking human behavior perfectly. Selenium scripts automating clicks at scale. Click farms using mobile devices. Advanced stuff rotating IPs, spoofing geolocation, faking mouse movements, generating realistic referrer patterns. Fingerprinting evasion. Timing tricks. Some were so good they looked completely human.

We realized most link tools just count clicks. They don't ask if those clicks are real.

Hi Product Hunt!

I'm the maker behind FDM AI (Free Document Maker).

The internet is currently full of "free" tools that aren't actually free. They trap your data behind account walls, force you to upload sensitive documents to their servers, and clutter your work with watermarks.

I wanted to build the opposite. A zero-friction, privacy-first workstation for the modern creator and entrepreneur.
