Nodalist Ai
Hey Product Hunt! We've been thinking in nodes for years whiteboards, flow diagrams, decision trees. That's how we've always worked through complex problems. The tools never matched the process. Mind maps were static. AI chats were powerful but linear, and the longer the conversation went, the more context quietly disappeared. When LLMs became capable enough, we saw the chance to build what we always needed: a visual thinking canvas where the nodes can actually think. Here's what makes Nodalist different from anything else out there: You build the context, not the AI. Every node on your canvas carries the full history of its branch parent ideas, resolved decisions, connected files. When AI generates from a node, it sees everything you chose to include. Nothing is silently compressed or dropped. Three AI modes, each for a different kind of thinking: - Breakdown decompose complexity into clear components - Decision AI detects ambiguity and asks you clarifying questions before committing to an answer - Generative lateral, creative expansion grounded in your existing context Your actual files, not summaries. Upload PDFs, spreadsheets, docs, images. Small files are included in full (up to 80K characters, zero loss). Large files go through an agentic RAG system an AI agent iteratively searches, reranks with a cross-encoder, evaluates its own results, and refines until it finds what matters. Even scanned 1,000+ page PDFs work via OCR. AI Storming this is the feature we're most excited about. Six of the world's top AI models (Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi) sit in a room and debate your problem. They don't agree politely they argue, challenge assumptions, and surface risks no single model would catch. A moderator tracks consensus. You get a structured report at the end. We use ChatGPT, Claude, Notion, Miro ourselves they're great tools. Nodalist fills a gap none of them cover: structured, visual, AI-powered deep thinking where you're in control.

If Reddit required face scans to prove you’re human… would you still use it?
With AI bots getting harder to detect, there s been growing discussion around platforms using biometric verification (like face scans) to confirm real users.
Cool in theory... Reddit is full of bots, fake accounts and garbage engagement. But let s be real
Reddit without anonymity isn t Reddit.
Cursor or Claude Code?
I love @Cursor. It's enabled me to build (vibe code) so many web apps, sites, extensions, and little things quickly that 1. bring me joy and 2. help me with work or realize personal projects.
However... I'm seeing a TON of movement around @Claude by Anthropic's Claude Code. I haven't personally tried it but it's apparently insane (and can also be expensive?)
I'm curious. Should I switch? What are you currently using? Or do they both have their own use case. I right now like cursor because I can build directly in a GitHub repo or locally and it helps me learn my way around an IDE.
Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts!
