How do you create video?

What's the most important aspect of video creation for you? What do you want to do the most that you cannot currently do easily?

What audio mixing features matter most to you?

I'm launching VOID MIX soon a free browser-based tool for mixing voice + BGM.

Curious: if you mix audio for podcasts, YouTube, or audiobooks, what's your biggest pain point?

Currently supported: auto ducking, voice EQ, smart cut, 2,200+ free BGM tracks, MP3/WAV export.

What would you add?

Visla AI Director Mode - Continuous scene-by-scene AI video generation

AI Director Mode is Visla’s new way to build videos. You start with any input, and Visla plans your video scene by scene with AI-generated storyboard images. Next, you set the direction, like pace, voiceover style, and the exact characters, objects, and environments you want on screen. Then you lock in products, logos, and other brand assets so your visuals stay consistent across every scene. Finally, you choose what stays as storyboard images and what becomes full AI video clips.

As a brand, how do you face criticism and how do you respond to it?

As a brand, you receive feedback. Either through customer/tech support, online in reviews, or users refer to your name on social networks.

Let's face it, negative feedback spreads easily and is shared more often because people don't often talk about positive things.

How do you treat your competition? Is your stance more adversarial or friendly?

I ve noticed two main narratives in how companies view their competitors.

Either it s a fight to the death approach exactly like what we see between Replit and Lovable (though it seems Replit does more of the provoking ) basically: We speak badly about our competition.

Which stream will prevail: Pro AI or Anti AI?

Today, I read 2 messages that are contradictory in nature, and it seems like one branch is rebelling against the other.

  • Meta and other big tech companies are replacing human workers with AI.

  • Heineken, Aerie, Polaroid, and even Cadbury are riding the anti-AI wave, mocking Big Tech and positioning human-made creativity as the ultimate authenticity flex.

How do you think that these pro and anti streams can affect the evolution of AI and our perception of its use?

What do you miss about Product Hunt?

Over the past few months, we have seen some major and minor changes here, such as:

removal of "Notify Me" pages

addition of downvotes to comments (BTW, did you use that when it existed?)

or the end of endless scrolling in the comments section they replaced it with numbered pages

Would you use Arc or Dia after the Atlassian acquisition?

TBC said they won't change a thing but a big company like Atlassian can impact how small teams work.

So curious what folks are thinking!

6th Launch today, what we learned.

What did we at @Visla learn this time around? It s less stressful than the first one. that's for sure, but definitely not less important. We re at #6 right now, and it feels rewarding in a different way, because the team and the platform have been through so many iterations to get here. There s a maturity that only comes after shipping, learning, and doing it again.

A few lessons this time around:

  • Each launch teaches you something, even when you think you ve done it before.

  • The reaching out never stops, whether it s us asking for support, or others sliding in promising to get you to #1. You learn to tune most of it out.

  • Chasing the leaderboard isn t the goal. Building something that actually resonates with users is.

Would you hire a VibeCoder to work on your product?

I've been pretty impressed at the amount of products people (including myself) have been able to create which got me curious... do vibe coders or AI-primary builders have a place in a company or team?
My thinking is the more technically adept would work on the core-focus while vibecoders can assist with other tasks that shouldn't be the main devs focus...like a potential feature add, minor changes, or even exploring different ways of modifying the existing product.
I'm curious what you all think, would you hire a vibe coder?

How do you keep creative juices flowing when working at home?

We know that productivity is a daily challenge for remote workers. I am guilty. So I am curious how you guys keep productivity at peak (or at a functioning level, at least) while working remotely? A good night's sleep and a cup of coffee/matcha are great boosts for me. How about you?

Why do you work at a startup?

Hey hunters! There are a lot of startupers here. And it is interesting for me why people choose to work for a startup. Personally, I like opportunity to learn something new everyday. My work is quite flexible so my responsibilities could change. And I really like it! What about you? Why have you decided to work at a startup? What is your favorite part of working for a startup?
