Product Hunt Wrapped 2025

At what point does a side project stop being “just a side project”?

Many products start as experiments built at night or on weekends.

At first, there s no pressure just curiosity and momentum.

But at some point, expectations creep in: users, revenue goals, support, roadmap decisions.

What's a tool you discovered through Product Hunt that you now use every day?

I'll start.

Supabase. Found it here three years ago. Thought it was just another backend. Now I can't imagine building without it.

Here's what it does for us at Rankfender:

Auth that doesn't make you crazy. We have users across 120+ countries. Supabase handles sign-ups, logins, password resets, magic links, OAuth with Google and GitHub. It just works. We didn't have to build any of it.

Hey everyone! I m an indie dev, and I ve been noticing that marketing tends to be the trickiest part of launching side projects or micro-SaaS apps. I d love to hear how others here tackle it:

Which marketing tactics or channels have been most effective for you?
What s been your biggest challenge in getting the word out?
Any unexpected wins or lessons learned along the way?

Feel free to drop links, anecdotes, or tips. I m eager to learn from your real-world experiences whether they re successes or flops. Thanks in advance!
