Between Slack channels, Teams groups, WhatsApp threads, and Telegram I feel like I'm in a constant catch-up loop and I still miss things. Curious if this is just us or if it's universal. What's your actual number, and have you found anything that helps?
one thing we learned launching openowl: engaging on reddit, twitter, HN, product hunt, linkedin all at once is exhausting. especially as a solo founder.
so we built a system for it and just open-sourced the whole thing.
it's a claude code template with platform-specific guides and skills for each platform. you clone the repo, fill in your product details, and run /engage-reddit or /engage-twitter or
/engage-all and it finds relevant posts, drafts replies in the right tone for each platform, and you review before posting.
TwelveLabs just introduced Pegasus 1.5, their most significant leap in generative video AI, transforming video into a queryable, structured data asset.
tldr: yes. Shoutouts are one of the simplest distribution levers on Product Hunt.
Shoutouts are meant to pay it forward and highlight the tools that helped you build. But beyond goodwill, they create durable distribution for your product on Product Hunt and across LLM driven discovery.
When you shout out a product during launch, it becomes a founder review on that product s page. Founder reviews sit above regular reviews and include a link to both your profile and your product. That means your product is now attached to every future visit to that product s review page, long after launch day. For example, check out @timliao s shoutout of @Framer or @guymanzur s shoutout of @Base44
