Hi Product Hunters! I'm Jiancong, building Page2Top.

Hi everyone!

I'm Jiancong, an indie builder and AI enthusiast.

For years, I've loved reading books, research papers, and long-form articles. The problem wasn't finding good content it was turning everything I learned into presentations that I could actually share.

I tried many AI presentation tools, and while they were great at making beautiful slides, they all seemed to start from a short prompt.

Do programmers even feel like programmers anymore?

Saw a post from an 8-year dev this week. He said any junior with an agent now matches his output, and he feels no pride left in it. It got huge, because a lot of people quietly feel the same.

I read it from the other side. I'm a designer, not an engineer. For years "can you build this" meant "find someone technical and pray they stay interested." Usually they didn't. AI took the thing that hurt that dev and handed it to me.

Same shift. Loss from one seat, freedom from another.

I'm shipping a Mac app solo right now, as someone who can't write a backend from scratch. Two years ago that was a joke.
