Hey everyone

I'm Aaron and for the last few years I've been writing the Product Hunt newsletters. That includes: our daily, weekly, developer tools, and AI tools ones. Every morning I look through the homepage to try and find the coolest products to write about and I want to share with you all what I look in a launch so you can increase your chances of getting featured!

Hey everyone

I'm Aaron and for the last few years I've been writing the Product Hunt newsletters. That includes: our daily, weekly, developer tools, and AI tools ones. Every morning I look through the homepage to try and find the coolest products to write about and I want to share with you all what I look in a launch so you can increase your chances of getting featured!

I may be wrong, but a few years ago, job opportunities were promoted here by companies when they wanted to find someone to join their team.

This is also a question for founders or companies:

Would it make sense to onboard tech-savvy or business-oriented people from here?

In the second half of the year, I wanted to use some kind of lead magnet that I sent to people in exchange for their email address.

My questions are for observing purposes:

Hey fellow Chyridians (yeah, we just decided that this is a term now),

after our launch here on product hunt last week, we gained more users than we could have imagined. So first of all, thanks a lot for that!

Along with our users came a lot of feedback and ideas for new features that we should add, one of them being embedded code-blocks and that is what we went for first! We are excited to announce that as of today, you can use the new Source Code block! This block will allow you to paste your code as well as select the programming language to allow for proper syntax highlighting when being rendered in the finished manual.

Yesterday, I read that in addition to Klarna, the CEO of Zoom is already using his AI avatar on quarterly calls.

Understandably, these AI gadgets are quite trendy (and make life easier, save time and money)...

With an older company, I found myself spending hours a day looking over git pushes to ensure the employees were indeed doing their work.

Now, in the age of ChatGPT, I could just ZIP the project, upload it to 4.5 and deep research it. Boom! Full breakdown of hourly progress, explanation and breakdown of work and instant conclusive statements.

I've tested so many AI Note takers as of late. @Fathom, @Fireflies.ai , BuildBetter, @Grain, and even Google's Transcribing feature. They're all pretty good but lately @Granola has been winning me over.

BuildBetter is really good for teams, has a nice chat function that lets you chat across all your meetings and get good insight from your team members, calls, clients, etc.
But for personal, and individual notes - Granola is a champion. Recently I've been using Granola's new mobile app for in-person convos and it's amazing. Particularly for my conversations in Japanese, where the chances of me misinterpreting something, missing a key note, or simply not knowing a word are higher. Granola captures all key points and topics and WRITES THE NOTES IN ENGLISH.
Literal immediate translating assistant. I'm not sure if other's do this, but Granola has been the easiest to quickly boot up and get my notes in a snap...without needing to translate.
I'm curious what everyone else uses and why!

@catt_marroll reminded me of @natfriedman 's website: https://nat.org/ - in particular the section "Some things I believe" which I really like.

There's also https://amasad.me/ from @amasad and the classic https://www.paulgraham.com/.

Hey,
I ve been a software engineer (backend) for over nine years and have been wanting to build something on my own for a while now. I have ideas, good planning skills, and the discipline to execute, but unfortunately, I lack the experience as an entrepreneur, which I believe is an important aspect. This has led me to consider finding partners to help me bring my ideas to life or collaborate on new projects. However, it s been challenging to find people who are committed, structured, have a long-term mindset, and maintain positive energy.
Many people get excited about a project initially, but then they disappear or lose interest when results don t come quickly. And unfortunately, I m not in a position to hire people at the moment.
Has anyone else been through this? How have you found people who are truly committed to the long haul?

Have you ever considered the human biases that might slow down the adoption of your product?

I'm currently working on building my first AI product (coming soon!), and I wanted to share some thoughts on the adoption challenges I anticipate.
