I don t want Votap to become Instagram.

AI everywhere… so why do apps still feel the same?

Over the past few years, we ve seen an explosion of AI powered apps, redesigns, and next-generation experiences.

And yet weather apps somehow still feel exactly the same:

Different colors.
Slightly different layouts.
The same numbers inside slightly different rectangles.

What are you building, and what does your stack look like?

I am a Computer Science student doing research into how solopreneurs and small startups create new apps and what their stack looks like. Particularly, I'm interested in how you handle things like authentication, billing, and permissions/authorization in your apps.

Let me know what you're working on below and how you're going about it -- I'd love to connect for some quick calls to learn about your product and talk about your process in building it!

Hi from a tech writer

Hi everyone :)

I'm Valentina, a technical writer who got into this field kind of by accident. I studied engineering and started with IoT devices and Arduino, then learned Python for automation and scraping. Somewhere along the way I ended up writing guides instead of just coding, and honestly I really enjoy it.

Why I'm here? I've been lurking on Product Hunt for a while and finally decided to join the conversation. As someone who writes about technical products, I'm always looking for new tools to explore and test. I also love seeing what other makers are building and learning from this community.

One thing I've noticed is that I prefer testing products myself rather than just trusting reviews. If anyone here is building dev tools, automation products, or anything in the AI space, I'd be happy to test them out and give honest feedback from a technical writer's perspective.

👋 Hi Product Hunt! I’m Vlad — 15 Years Making Windows Apps, Sharing FTPie, TabChart & New Tools

Hi Product Hunt! I m Vlad a Windows desktop developer with ~15 years of experience.

I ve spent most of my career building native desktop apps because I genuinely love the feeling of creating fast, practical software that people actually use every day.

My main project is FTPie a paid app (with a free version available) that I m trying to turn into a sustainable indie business. It s my long-term focus and the project I m continuously grinding on.

Along the way, I realized that many internal tools and components I built for FTPie could become useful standalone products. That s how my second project was born:

What was the catalyst for you to start building your own product?

Hi PH family!

I'm Minhajul or (Mj) if you prefer not to use a tongue twister

Launching tomorrow: We built a real-time translation overlay for your entire desktop

Hey PH!

I'm Eduardo. Tomorrow we're launching Seagull, and I wanted to share the story behind it.

Are you trying to build a personal brand or a company brand first?

At the beginning of the year, 2 co-founders reached out to me because they wanted to scale their personal LinkedIn profiles. The reason: In a few months, they re planning to raise funding and believe their personal brand could help.

A few days ago, another founder contacted me with a similar intention, although he s not planning to raise funding. For him, LinkedIn has become the platform that generates the most leads. He doesn t particularly enjoy the network itself, but he still wants to keep building it.

Hi PH, I'm Mase, I built self-healing code because I was too anxious to go camping

Hello everyone!

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.

Hey PH! I'm Gianmarco, a software engineer from Italy building Aitinery

Hey everyone! I'm Gianmarco, a software engineer based in Italy. After years of planning trips for friends and family (and being the unofficial "travel agent" of my group), I decided to build something that could do it better than me or at least faster.

I'm working on Aitinery (aitinery.com), an AI-powered travel planner that specializes in Italy. The idea is simple: instead of spending hours on Google Maps, blogs, and TripAdvisor trying to piece together an itinerary, you tell our AI what kind of trip you want and it builds a complete day-by-day plan with real places, accurate travel times, local restaurants, and hidden gems.

Feedback wanted: AI that handles the "what's for dinner?" mental load

Hey Product Hunt community!

I'm building something to solve a problem my family faces every single day, and I'd love your feedback.

The problem:

Every household has someone carrying the invisible mental load of meals. It's not the cooking that's exhausting it's the deciding. 21 meals a week. Remembering who eats what. Knowing what's in the fridge. Figuring out quick meals for busy nights.

2026 and your goals. Let's try to set them for Q1.

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.

So here is my structure and list:

🔥 Drop your tagline and I'll try to guess what your product is

A tagline is the first piece of content a user will see about your product on the leaderboard. It's so important that you get it right. You should be able to get a really solid idea of what your product is just by reading a handful of words.

In the spirit of forever optimising our taglines, I wanted to do a little experiment:
