I'm Steve, a solo dev who's spent way too many nights rage-closing YouTube tabs 8 minutes into a video that had 30 seconds of actual signal.
That frustration turned into Focal a browser extension that gives you a WATCH / SKIM / SKIP verdict on any YouTube video before you click play. Hover a thumbnail, it reads the transcript, scores information density, and pulls out timestamped bullets and key moments. You can even apply a "lens" like just the steps or no fluff to filter for exactly what you're there for.
I built it mostly for my own ADHD brain, but it turns out a lot of people have the same "is this 20-minute video actually worth it" problem.
After months of building alone from my dorm room in Mumbai, @FocusAI is finally live on Product Hunt today.
I built it because I realized most productivity tools help people organize goals, but very few help them consistently execute.
@FocusAI takes a goal, breaks it into actionable tasks, schedules them automatically, and adapts when you fall behind instead of making you restart everything.

Quick question: what's the oldest "daily-updating information system" still in continuous use?
My answer: the Panchang the Hindu calendar system that hundreds of millions of people still check every morning, and have for thousands of years. It's a genuinely impressive piece of ancient astronomy: it tracks the lunar day, the moon's position against star constellations, sun-moon angular relationships, and more all computed fresh for each location, because the same calendar day can literally differ between Mumbai and New Jersey depending on local sunrise.
The problem: most panchang websites feel stuck in 2005. Slow, cluttered, ad-heavy, and impenetrable if you didn't grow up reading one.
After years with my partner I was still sometimes confused by what I used to label as her "mood swings" until I realised it wasn't mood swings at all. It was hormonal phases genuinely affecting her energy, emotions and needs. Once I started studying this, everything changed. I learned to approach her with the right energy at the right moment when she needed space, when she needed support, when she was at her most communicative or her most withdrawn.

We spent three months building an open-source, local-first AI work journal that captures daily activity and turns it into clear timelines, worklogs, and updates. Yesterday, the Product Hunt community helped it reach the top position.
Thank you to everyone who supported the launch, shared their experience, left a comment, or recommended Meridian to someone else. The launch is over, but the work continues. We are reviewing what people shared and improving the onboarding, activity timeline, and drafted updates.
If you have tried Meridian, we would value hearing honestly what worked well and what still feels unclear. GitHub: https://github.com/Meridiona/mer...
Like many of you, my browser setup is a mess. I use Chrome for work (so I have my work profiles and extensions), Safari for personal browsing (better battery life), and Firefox/Arc for testing.
