Hey everyone!

I launched PDFOnlineLovePDF a few days ago and wanted to share the story with this community.

The problem: Every PDF tool I used either wanted me to pay, sign up, or upload my files to a remote server. Not great for privacy.

The solution: A 100% browser-based toolkit your files are processed locally, never uploaded anywhere.

As a developer, I realized how much time gets wasted switching between different websites just to perform small tasks like formatting JSON or converting data formats.

So I built DevUtilityLab an all-in-one platform with fast, lightweight tools that work instantly. No unnecessary UI, no friction, just simple utilities designed to help developers move faster.

My goal is to keep expanding it into a reliable go-to hub where developers can find every small but essential tool in one place.

This is the moment where the Product starts to look like a real thing.
Seeing the block editor and version diff screenshots side by side makes it feel like we actually built something worth launching.

One thing I did not expect: how much the screenshot order matters. The first image has to stop the scroll. The second has to answer the question the first one raises. It is basically visual storytelling
.

We go live Wednesday April 15.

Makers - when you reviewed your PH page for the first time with fresh eyes, what was the first thing you wanted to change?
Any feedback is much apprecitated!

Most teams we have talked to treat prompts like environment variables - static strings tucked away in config files.
It works until it doesn't.
The problem is there is no version history, no way to evaluate a change before shipping, and no way for non-technical teammates to contribute.
Your legal reviewer knows exactly what the guardrails should say but cannot touch the prompt because it lives in the repo.
We built PromptOT to fix this. Launching April 15. Would love some support from the PH community.
What layer of your AI stack do you feel is still held together with duct tape?

Hello!

I ve created a free, ad-free riddle app designed for both children and adults. The themes are based on general knowledge and the national education curriculum.

The idea came to me during the school run with my son how to make learning fun.

I got into a conversation with some friends about classic authors. Realized there are so many I still haven't read, and not enough time to fix that. But one thing I do read every morning is the news. So what if I combined them?

Now a classic author rewrites today's news every morning.
Would love to get some feedback:

Hey PH community!

Solo dev from Pakistan here. I just launched HiveOps on Product Hunt today.

And I want to tell you about it, without asking Gemini or Claude to write me the speech.
So, everything began with my Youtube channel, i had 2K subs (still do BTW), but i was tired of spending so much time editing the videos.
My main content is about biographies on heavy metal bands, or songs/albums in specific, it required me searching the internet for images, then assemble the video adding transitions and effects.
In parallel, Claude Code was surfacing. I always wanted it to try it.

One day, these two issues collided in my head, what if... I told Claude Code to help me build a tool to automate this tedious process of edition?
I was skeptical at first, I had played with Gemini to make code, and man it was bad. I'm a developer myself for 20 years now, so i have some knowledge on that.
But I went ahead with it, and as time went by the product was surprisingly good. At first I was uploading the videos in my channel (still am), but then I thought "mmm this could be helpful for other creators in my situation"
Then Contentify was born. I started switching my product to a web app (it was a desktop app in its conception), and long story short, in 3 weeks i had a product up ready to test.
It has been open to the public for one month now, didn't get good results, only 15 users (2 of them is my son playing, and 3 are mails I used to test). They tested and went away, never to come back
Yesterday, I decided to launch in Product Hunt, hoping to gain some traction, I will keep trying to get spread the word about my creation because I really think it would help.
I know many of you relate to this story, so I want to hear from your pain points. Maybe we can hug each other and cry about it xD
Thanks for reading me.
