Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m the maker of Genstellar.ai, and I’m genuinely excited to finally share what we’ve been building. Honestly, Genstellar came out of pure frustration. Every AI tool I tried felt like shouting into a void. You get a response, it disappears into an endless scroll, and two days later you can't find anything. I kept thinking - why can't this just live next to my notes and...

@busmark_w_nikaThat's a nightmare scenario - glad you got it resolved. The "you're just renting space" reality of social platforms hits different when you're actually locked out. Beyond what you mentioned, here are a few things I've seen work: Regular exports: LinkedIn lets you download your connections as a CSV. I do this quarterly now. Won't help with engagement history, but at least you have...
Losing a social account and a community built over years – how do you protect your account?

@busmark_w_nika 14 days out and you've got a solid list going! The structure breakdown (before/during/post) is honestly underrated - so many people just wing the launch day itself and then wonder why momentum dies immediately after. A few things that stood out to me: The Kickstarter backers angle is smart. They already believed in you once, so they're way more likely to support again. Have you...
2 weeks before the product launch. What am I doing in terms of preparation?

Hey! Great questions - this is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. Hot take: I think we're solving the wrong problem. Most people (myself included at first) obsess over prompt engineering - finding the perfect phrasing, the magic formula, saving prompts in Notion, tweaking role definitions, etc. But honestly? I've shifted to focusing on context engineering instead of prompt...
What's your prompt engineering workflow?

This is actually a really interesting angle on link-in-bio - treating it like distribution real estate instead of just a profile page. What I’m especially curious about is how you’re thinking about signal vs noise here. If I’m a founder with a decent following, I wouldn’t just want the highest bidder - I’d want to feature products that make me look smart to my audience. A bad sponsor could...
I’m building a way for makers to monetize their "bio link" traffic. Thoughts? 📈

@markus_kask The woods without input thing is so underrated. I started doing this about a year ago after reading something similar, and honestly, it's where I've solved more problems than at my desk. There's something about your brain just... working in the background when you're not forcing it. For me, the game-changer has been morning pages – just dumping 3 pages of stream-of-consciousness...
Solo Founders! What's a habit or routine that keeps you sharp and motivated? I'll go first 👋

@busmark_w_nika I really relate to this. When I browse launches, I’m not just judging the product - I’m subconsciously judging how much the makers cared. Things like a thoughtful first comment, a clear demo, and even a real profile photo signal that someone is actually standing behind what they built. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but effort is very visible. For me, clarity is the biggest...
Things that make a good difference at a launch on Product Hunt

@alexcloudstar I’ve felt that shift very clearly while building my own startup. It started the way most side projects do - late nights, curiosity, just trying to see if an idea had any life in it. In that phase, everything feels optional. You can skip a week, pivot wildly, or throw features away without it hurting anything. The moment it stopped feeling like a side project for me wasn’t when I...
At what point does a side project stop being “just a side project”?

Not weird at all. I've been on both sides of this, and it completely changed my perspective. The corporate side: I worked as a data scientist at Elevance Health. Standard 9-5, clear boundaries, good work-life balance. Honestly? Some days I was checked out by 2 PM. Other days I'd hit flow state and resent having to stop. The structure felt arbitrary - optimized for attendance, not output. The...
Do you think the 9-9-6 work culture is right?

I don’t think “US-first” is a default anymore -it’s a tradeoff. The US gives fast feedback and revenue, but it also turns product problems into ops problems very early (compliance, support, security, expectations). I can say this because I have personally set up companies in both USA and India, and have lived through the pros and cons of it. Sometimes you end up scaling operations before you’ve...
Is “US-first” still the right default for AI products?

My experience building an AI chatbot on Genstellar.ai (vibecoded with Replit) Great thread! I recently built "Cosmic" -the AI chatbot for Genstellar.ai, a visual workspace platform -entirely in Replit, and your observations really resonate. How I'm handling chat memory: Full database persistence with PostgreSQL. Each conversation is stored with user context, project awareness, and message...

Thanks a lot for the thoughtful replies here 🙏 One thing I’m intentionally doing this time is building in public and pressure-testing ideas early — especially around how people actually use AI day-to-day, not just what looks impressive in demos. While building Genstellar, I realized the real problem with AI isn’t intelligence — it’s how fragmented our thinking becomes when context, memory, and...

Founder building a visual-first collaborative AI workspace (learning in public)
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Dushyant — founder & CEO of Genstellar.ai I’ve been building products for a while, but over the last months I found myself increasingly frustrated with how we interact with AI. The models are insanely powerful… yet the way we use them still feels oddly limiting. Linear chats, lost context, messy outputs, and very little room for real thinking or collaboration. That...
