I recently started building TrustLens, an AI Chrome extension that reads Terms of Service and Privacy Policies for you.
My original idea was to warn people about how Big Tech (Meta, TikTok, Google) tracks them. But then I had an "aha!" moment: No one cares. People will click "Accept" on TikTok anyway because their friends are there.
So, I pivoted. I realized the real danger is the "wild west" of the internet: those random AI tools, PDF compressors, or new SaaS apps we try every week.
I ve always found it frustrating to track long-term progress. You take a 'before' photo, but three months later, the 'after' photo is taken from a different distance or height, making it impossible to see the real change.
Hey Product Hunt I launched Deal Reaper, an iOS app, here a while back and wanted to share a quick update. One of the cooler moments so far: a sneaker creator with ~10k followers posted an unprompted story about the app and called it a game-changer for resellers, collectors, and casual eBay sellers. Just a genuine shoutout no sponsorship or ask from my end. It drove a noticeable spike in organic users. Watching that happen in real time was one of the most rewarding moments I ve had building this. Growth has been slower than I d like, but the users who do find it tend to stick around and get a lot of value from it, which keeps me motivated to keep building. On iOS, the app is currently sitting at 4.9 . Feels like I m still chasing another organic viral moment, but I know those are few and far between. Curious to hear what channels have actually worked for others here. Organic moments like that seem hard to replicate.
Standard founder platforms are useless if you aren't building a unicorn.
Try finding a partner for a simple weekend project, and you immediately hit a wall of equity talks, pitch decks, and 5-year commitments. What if you just want to build for experience? What if you need a dev to help build a portfolio piece, and neither of you cares about MRR right now?
There was no low-stakes sandbox for this. So, I built one.
StartupHub [https://www.producthunt.com/prod...] is a zero-pressure matchmaking platform specifically for students and beginners.
I am a senior web developer with over 7 years of experience delivering projects for global clients through established freelancing platforms such as Upwork and Toptal. I am currently exploring a long-term partnership based in US with a reliable individual to build a stable and scalable freelance business together.
The idea is to operate internally as a small software development agency while externally presenting as an individual freelancer an approach many clients prefer for its simplicity and cost transparency. In this structure, you would act as the account owner and primary business representative, while I would take responsibility for technical leadership, project execution, and day-to-day development work.
We built BetterSpace AI to solve a problem we kept seeing in real estate marketing: agents and photographers often have great property photos, but turning them into engaging videos takes time, editing skills, or expensive tools.
I've been building ORBITAISPACE for the past few months and launching this Wednesday.
Here's the problem I kept running into: Every time I had a startup idea, I'd spend days researching market size, competitors, feasibility, investment needed. By the time I finished, I'd either talked myself out of it or lost momentum.
So I built ORBITAISPACE. You type /idea [your concept] and in seconds you get: Market size and TAM Feasibility score across 5 dimensions Competitor landscape Risk analysis with specific fixes Full strategic roadmap with timelines "Your plan says X, but market data shows Y" comparison if you upload a business plans
