I've always been curious about emerging behaviors and nascent trends. That's one of the inspirations for starting Product Hunt.
What niche topic are you obsessed about right now and why?
I'm interested in the QUIC protocol released last year and the new protocols built on top of it (like HTTP/3 and WebTransport).
As developers know, the TCP-based world has been around for a long time. But when it was invented, we didn't have 5G and fiber optic networks yet.
So I started build framework called YoMo (https://github.com/yomorun/yomo) for developers who wanna introduce new technologies to their next cool apps.
Beside that, I built free tools like:
- https://webtransport.day , a free & public WebTransport echo service, seems the first one on the earth 🌎
- https://geoping.gg , a free online tool to inspecting the detail of network latency from end user anywhere
Real time collaboration, how it helps people from anywhere to build low latency applications, I am very obsessed 🥷🏻

I am working on a native macOS app named Planet to let users publish their websites to IPFS + ENS. Every critical step in publishing and following content updates in the app is not controlled by a single corporation.
The content is on a P2P network: IPFS.
The domain is on a P2P network, too: ENS on Ethereum.
Thus it is a local-first, fully decentralized model.
Here is the blog of the app, built with Planet:

Last year, when I was starting this project, I wrote down the idea here:
https://pitch.com/presentations/...
We see a big trend of remote workers watching summaries of meetings later, rather than attending meetings live, and saving 1-2 hours a day.
Our video conferencing and meeting tool makes that easy, supporting sync and async meetings, with automatically generated summaries 10% of the meeting duration. AI measures everyone's engagement in real-time (body-language, gestures, emotions, spoken words, app activity etc.) and highlights the moments that participants were most engaged. Replay, highlights, transcript, notes, action items are all stored in the cloud default private, searchable and shareable - making meeting information useful.
If you want to choose which meetings you attend live, and which you flip around to work for you, check it out https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

I am excited at the future of PropTech where the buildings—homes and offices and commercial property are designed for data-informed people—people as individuals and as communities. A lot of work is happening in Europe in this category—I guess *synthesis* is the foundation for civic design and proptech.

Recommender Systems, counteracting bias and making them generally more fair but specifically how they will evolve with the acceleration of web3 and the creator economy.

Obsessing about Personal security lately and thinking that the vast majority of internet users don't know even the basics of protecting themselves online. Technology came so far ahead in how many things you can do with a few clicks, but people still don't understand basic things like a fake/spam email.

That would have to be solving the scandal of how songwriters are paid by the music business - trust me slavery is alive and well in the music business
@pksaunders I am super interested to know as this is an industry where not many people know how it works and how the money is distributed.

I'm obsessed with translating inspirational, fluffy talk into actionable steps. Kind of like if Shia Labeouf wrote TL;DR book summaries.
There's so much information available to us now. The problem isn't gathering enough knowledge or wisdom, it's how you apply it.

There’s a need for new, modern tools. And probably a chance to grow the market by 100x.

Hi Ryan,
I have several projects underway, most of them are around the reuse of second hand items, recycling, etc...
It's definitely not a new trend, but I think there are a lot of new business ideas that can exist in this area. People are ready now to rent rather than buy, to rent other people's accommodation for their vacations, and also to buy second hand, or recycled products.
Ownership at any price no longer seems to be the exclusive concept for a part of the population (especially young people).
