This is solving a real problem. I've been building a full SaaS in Claude Code for the past year: 13 AI agents, FastAPI backend, Next.js frontend — and the context loss between sessions is genuinely the biggest friction point. The thing I keep re-explaining: project architecture decisions. Why certain agents are split the way they are, why the credit system works a specific way, which database...

Same here. UX/UI graduate, taught myself to code. The building part feels natural. Marketing feels like learning a completely different language. One thing that's helped me is building my marketing content in code — I use Remotion to create short-form video clips as React components. It means I can stay in my comfort zone (code) while producing marketing output. Over 100 clips so far without...
I'm good at building. Marketing is a different story.

UX/UI graduate, frustrated with my course, accidentally built a whole platform
Hey, I'm Maria — UX/UI graduate who accidentally built a platform I graduated in UX/UI in 2025 with no idea what came next. Honestly I was frustrated — the course barely taught me anything practical. No design systems, no code, no understanding of what happens after a Figma handoff. I learned more in a few months teaching myself than I did in the entire degree. So I started picking up React,...

The fading mechanic is beautiful. It's the opposite of every app trying to be your permanent record. Feels more like how memory actually works...things naturally soften unless you actively hold onto them. Did you build the fading as a gradual CSS/opacity thing or is there more to how entries age visually?

This is really clean for quick mockups. One thing that would make it a no-brainer for me — pre-built templates for common launch scenarios. Like a Product Hunt hero shot, an App Store screenshot set, or a social launch card with the tagline and CTA already laid out just for some variation. Any plans for something like that?

Genuinely interesting question and the comments here show how split people are on it. My take as a solo founder building right now: solo won't dominate, but it'll become viable in places it never was before. The bottleneck for solo has never really been "can one person produce enough output", AI is solving that fast. The bottleneck is decision quality. When you're solo you make 50...

Congrats on the launch! 🎉 Honestly the timing of this is uncanny. I've literally spent today trying to figure out how to get real test users for my own product. Watching people drop off without knowing why is one of the most frustrating parts of being a solo founder. You build something, you ship it, and then... silence. Was it the headline? The pricing? The signup flow? You're guessing. A...

Hi, what a great idea! this suits my product perfectly as i'm finding it hard for some initial test users and feedback. Is alpha day every first Thursday of the month? Thanks :)

I like all the personalisation for interactions. It seems a lot more in depth and user friendly than previous screen recorders I've used! I'm building marketing videos for a product I'm working on and always end up frustrated by the polish gap between "raw screen recording" and "finished clip." Does Highlight bridge that, or is it still more of a recording tool than an editing one?

Just had a play around with this for ages. Love the interactive hover on the letters and the more creative concept, feels like the opposite of every generic newsletter tool out there. The little design details matter way more than people give them credit for.

Voice is the way forward. Curious — are you using ElevenLabs under the hood for the voice layer, or have you built your own models? The quality bar they've set is wild and I'm interested in how new voice products are approaching it. Typing is the bottleneck for everything I do, happy to see people building real voice-first tools instead of bolting voice onto a text app.
