I'm a self-taught dev and former fuel salesman (yes, really). I started coding about 4 years ago, working evenings and weekends with a couple of friends on a project called Settl. We ran it for 3 years and managed to exit.
I recently saw a marketer with 10k+ followers launch and finish 6th with 348 upvotes. They followed a proper pre-launch and post-launch plan, did everything right, and still the outcome felt unpredictable.
Now I m launching @Curatora next week.
I m not a marketer. I have a little over 1k followers. Of course, asking for support helps. But I also keep hearing that a large part of the Product Hunt community shows up mainly for their own launch, then goes quiet until the next one.
That makes me wonder: how much of success here is strategy, and how much is timing and network effect?
Product Hunt is best known for its homepage, a daily leaderboard of the most creative and innovative products on the internet. Makers go all out to win launch day, because that visibility matters. Product Hunt also plays a significant role in how products appear in Google search results.
What surprised us was that AI assistants like ChatGPT were rarely citing Product Hunt in product recommendations.
AI still makes mistakes when coding. However, for simple fixes or features do you bother switching branches and testing locally before creating a PR or pushing to production? Or do you just ask Claude for a fix, review quickly, then push? I saw an interview with Peter Steinberger (creator of Openclaw). Where he mentions he always pushes to main and almost entirely vibe codes. If you look at his contributions, you see how fast he ships. Do devs need to be more trusting?
We've all been there. You're walking down the street and see a stunning shade of blue on a building. You're at a caf and the perfect terracotta on a cup catches your eye. Or you're a designer staring at a reference image, wishing you could magically pull its exact color codes.
That magic is exactly what the Image Color Picker on Huesnatch is built for. It s your bridge from the real world to your digital canvas.
Most automation workflows can call a model, but still need substantial glue code for memory, personalization, and structured data. The Mnexium connector makes those capabilities native in n8n.
Hi everyone, I m one of the makers of Reimagine-app.com.
Reimagine helps you build a website around a product first hero. You start by generating a custom hero as a static image or a looping video, choose your favorite, and then we generate the full site with clean, exportable code. No lock in.
I ve been a long-time lurker on Product Hunt, admiring the incredible products launched here every day. Today, I m excited to finally step out of the shadows and officially join the community!
I've built my product around traditional SaaS pricing (monthly tiers), but I m starting to wonder if that model is getting outdated, especially with more AI-powered and compute-heavy tools entering the market. That shift requires real architectural changes, instrumentation, metering, billing logic, and UI changes, not just pricing tweaks. It s something I m starting to seriously think about for my own product.
In particular, AI usage has real COGs (every prompt costs money), and I m seeing more platforms experimenting with usage-based models, or hybrids like SaaS base + usage + overage.
For those of you building AI or compute-intensive tools:
Since I haven't been able to meet my work goals very well in the last few quarters, I now plan to approach them more systematically and not push myself too hard on work goals, as that ultimately led to problems that made my plan less sustainable.
