Built a family wellness app solo. No experience. Here's where I am.
UX/UI designer by day. App founder by night.
I built Uplyft, a motivational messaging app for parents and families. No co-founder, no backend experience, no real plan. Just Claude and a birthday launch date in July.
Got rejected from a pitch competition in 24 hours this week. Walked away with a one-pager.
Check it out at app.uplyftlife.com. Honest feedback welcome.
🗣️ Today's leaderboard is powered by voice
@Wispr Flow launched on Product Hunt back in 2024. Since then it has become one of those tools that quietly sticks. It's the AI dictation tool a bunch of us here use day to day (yes, there are still a few people committed to typing everything out). It works anywhere on your Mac or PC, so you can just talk and have clean text land wherever your cursor is.
For the next three days, it is showing up on the leaderboard in a different way. From April 14 to 16, you can upvote and comment on Product Hunt using Wispr Flow directly. If you use dictation, those upvotes and comments will carry a bit more weight. Try it out by clicking the Wispr Flow unit on the Leaderboard and telling it to upvote a product name

Scientist and builder
Hi all,
I just joined the platform today, after hearing about it for a while. I am a biology research scientist by training, and I absolutely love solving problems. I recently discovered I can apply that to tech development as well, and not just figuring out why my PCR didn't work again (it's honestly voodoo, I swear). I learned how to code, and with AI growing in leaps and bounds, the playing field is getting more accessible for those of us coming from a less techy background. I've built a few small projects, mainly for myself/friends/to practice, and I'm working on a project now that I would like to launch here when it's ready.
I think coming from a scientific research perspective into the world of app development has actually been a huge plus. I'm used to the build-test-doesn't work-iterate-try again cycle, just with tubes and pipettes instead of a terminal and Railway. Perseverance is the name of the game! And it helps when you love the process, too.
