After our first launch on Product Hunt, our team spent a little over a month upgrading the product. There were major changes to the UI and several new features added, so the process took time from discussions and redesigning the interface to testing, fixing bugs, and updating AI prompts.
We re also a very small team, so everyone had to push themselves to give 200%. Time and resources are limited, and at the same time, we also had to work on securing funding for the next six months to keep the team running and continue developing the app.
This term has been coined by someone and there are already more than 80 products that you could put in this category. Looking at the numbers, it's growing pretty fast.
There are countless products and services out there, and I ll admit I sign up for more than I probably should. But I usually stop using them for a few common reasons:
It doesn t actually fit my needs
The company feels unreliable or opaque
The value doesn t justify the cost
After spending my career in enterprise software, I ve noticed that many of these issues aren t just product problems, they re relationship problems.
When companies show a bit of intention, clarity, and care, trust goes up. When they don t, everything feels disposable, even good tools.
