Dear makers, do you keep somewhere the AI decision logs and what do you do with them? Say I have a AI chat and I ask it - create me this and that and they I use the results for something that brings bad user experience. Do you keep a log for the decision tree or the process and why?
Apart from your own use, is there a Law somewhere in the world that requires you to do that?
Every day, after launching, makers are contacted on LinkedIn and X by people offering to sell votes. As the Product Hunt team, we are very much aware of this and really hate it. We have systems in place to neutralize this type of gaming. Every vote counts for a different number of points on Product Hunt. A couple examples:
An account with a recently created gmail address and no history of quality contributions on Product Hunt: this vote will count for 0 points. Yes, this might be a well intentioned user, but we take a conservative approach to protect the community. If the account has a company email or applies for verification on Product Hunt, that's a different story.
An account with a company email address linked to a legitimate LinkedIn account with a history of meaningful contributions on Product Hunt: this vote carries significant weight.
A couple questions for the community:
Are there specific accounts on Product Hunt that you suspect participate in vote selling? You can reply here or email report@producthunt.co
What would you want to see us do differently here?
There is a moment that separates products people use once from products people come back to every day. It is not a feature. It is not a notification. It is the feeling that the product remembers who you are.
I have been thinking about this a lot while building Murror. We spent so much time on acquisition, onboarding funnels, and activation metrics. But the thing that actually moved our retention numbers was something much simpler: continuity.
In one of the newsletters I follow there is this quote. What do you think about it?
Chatbots comply with the user s wish to solve the problem on their own, even when this is impossible and may make matters worse. Chatbots, in fact, are not built to help, but to please. If you feel flattered when your LLM tells you how smart your question was (I certainly do), you are not alone: a pre-print from 2025 found that all major LLMs were highly sycophantic.
Everyone is talking about Privacy these days. For some, this is just to be left alone; for others is to have some rules for how the data are managed; for a specific group of people, it could be something else. So what's your definition of Privacy?
Hey folks, let's do something fun to make weekdays a little better, describe your customer persona in detail and I'll guess what your product offering is!
If you don't have time between the jobs - how do you switch from a toxic environment to the new one without bringing the negativity and other psychological barriers with you?
I picked "Maker Mindset" topic on purpose :) I carefully review most of the products that I like and comment on here for vulnerabilities or security flaws and the result is not good. Yesterday I discovered a big problem in one of the products for example allowing attackers to exploit it. (I have notified the makers of course) So my question is - as a maker - do you think about security at all when you design and implement your idea? Is this one of your checkpoint items as good UX, nice design, value, etc?
I want to create an app to limit/disable all smart features of a phone for a specific time to help people addicted to their phone to do something for their mental health. They will be able to use the phone as a phone only device and probably will allow very specific apps to be used - something very critical for their health. Do you think this is a crazy idea or you find something nice in it? I'd love to hear your comments as well :)
Hello, community! I need a tip here... At V7 we are planning our first launch on PH, and the amount of helpful information and recommendations is incredible! I recently came across content that recommended also doing some digital campaigns creating custom audiences from Twitter. What is your take on that? Should we spend time on campaigns or just focus on community engagement and Ship? or do both? ;) Thank you :)
