Hey everyone

I built NoteMina because I was tired of using multiple apps for notes, voice, documents and even shopping lists.

So I combined everything into one app using AI.

The feature I'm most excited about:

Hey everyone

I ve been working on an app called NoteMina and just released a new version

It started as a simple notes app, but I added AI features to make it more useful in real life.

Here s what it does:

tldr: yes. Shoutouts are one of the simplest distribution levers on Product Hunt.

Shoutouts are meant to pay it forward and highlight the tools that helped you build. But beyond goodwill, they create durable distribution for your product on Product Hunt and across LLM driven discovery.

When you shout out a product during launch, it becomes a founder review on that product s page. Founder reviews sit above regular reviews and include a link to both your profile and your product. That means your product is now attached to every future visit to that product s review page, long after launch day. For example, check out @timliao s shoutout of @Framer or @guymanzur s shoutout of @Base44

Today, I came across an article on TechCrunch: The great computer science exodus (and where students are going instead).

It shows that UC campuses saw a drop in computer science enrollment for the first time since the dot-com crash (6% in 2025, 3% in 2024), but students are shifting to AI-focused programs.

Over the last year, I ve been experimenting more with local-first patterns , apps that prioritize offline functionality and sync later instead of depending on constant server calls.

What used to feel experimental now feels surprisingly stable. Faster UI, fewer loading states, and a smoother user experience overall.

I rebuilt a small side project recently with a local-first approach, and the difference in responsiveness was noticeable. But it also introduced new challenges around conflict resolution and state consistency.

It makes me wonder:

I ve noticed that my workflow has changed completely over the last year. I rarely start a new project with a blank file anymore. Instead, I pick a template, reuse snippets, or let an AI helper suggest the structure and then I just vibe my way through the build.

It s faster, but sometimes I miss the old blank screen energy, when every line felt handcrafted.

I m curious how others here approach it:

Do you still prefer to build from scratch?

I ve been thinking a lot about productivity apps especially simple note + reminder tools.

There are thousands of them, yet most people still jump between apps constantly (me included before building my first one).

So I m curious:

AI dev tools are evolving crazy fast , every few weeks there s a new must-try for vibe coders.

Some people are building full products with @ChatGPT by OpenAI and @Replit , others swear by @Cursor and @Claude by Anthropic , and a few are mixing @Lovable + @v0 by Vercel + @bolt.new to ship apps in record time.

I ve been refining my own vibe stack lately, trying to find that sweet spot between speed, control, and creativity.
It made me wonder ,what does your setup look like right now?

Hi, I m an app developer who s shipped many projects the old-school way (hand-coding) for over a decade. Recently AI tools have exploded - speeding up my production like crazy.

What s happening:

- Idea to MVP: Creators focus on ideas while AI writes most of the code.

I ve been thinking about how much design quality actually matters in the earliest stages of a product.

Some users don t seem to mind rough edges if the tool genuinely solves a problem. Others instantly bounce if the UI doesn t feel trustworthy.

Hi!

We're live! We need your help!

I ve been testing a lot of reminder apps, and weirdly, most don t seem to really get my attention when I need them to.

Do you think the problem is bad notification design, or is it that we ve just learned to ignore alerts?

How do you make sure a digital reminder actually changes your behavior?

On Twitter, I often come across impulsive builders. They get an idea, build it quickly, and then feel disappointed when nothing sells.

(Just because a creator has identified a problem in himself, it doesn t mean there s a big enough sample experiencing it.)

Over the past few years, minimalism became the standard for clean and modern UI design neutral colors, lots of white space, and simple layouts.

But lately, I ve started wondering are we reaching a point where everything looks the same?

When every app follows the same flat, pastel aesthetic, does minimal still mean useful and clear or just safe and predictable?

I ve seen users respond better to small touches of personality colors, microinteractions, or even playful typography as long as it doesn t break the flow.

As indie developers or small creators, we often spend months perfecting our product the UI, the features, the performance but once we launch, reality hits:

nobody knows it exists.

Lately, I ve been thinking about how building and getting discovered feel like two completely different skill sets.

Everyone talks about smarter models.

Few talk about stronger systems.

But that s where things really fall apart.

Hot off the press! @Raycast for iOS just got "its biggest update yet." Dictation, AI commands, Snippets, and Quicklinks are now accessible from the keyboard.

Thoughts? For me, it's an instant crush.

next-forge is a boilerplate with everything you need to launch a production-ready @Next.js app. Acquired by @Vercel last June, it just got a new update by its original maker @haydenbleasel.

This update includes:

• Composable Node.js middleware

• Full Turbo

• Documentation updates

• Clerk keyless mode

• Upgraded dependencies and analytics
