Advantages of launching during the week vs. Advantages of launching during the weekend (Explained)

I know this topic has been here a million times (and people will still ask me a few more times after that).

I personally see advantages in both cases, but maybe one more advantage when it comes to launching during the week.

Very briefly:

Is mobile really where job applications happen? Our data says: maybe not (yet)

There s a common assumption that job applications are mobile-first now.
Before moving into building a mobile app, we wanted to test that assumption with data rather than rely on intuition..

First, we looked at real usage.
In our GA4 data, mobile accounts for ~22% of active users.
But desktop dominates engagement and core actions, longer sessions, more events, and more consistent usage over time.

Are there benefits to being personal with customers anymore or has everything become transactional?

There are countless products and services out there, and I ll admit I sign up for more than I probably should. But I usually stop using them for a few common reasons:

  1. It doesn t actually fit my needs

  2. The company feels unreliable or opaque

  3. The value doesn t justify the cost

After spending my career in enterprise software, I ve noticed that many of these issues aren t just product problems, they re relationship problems.

When companies show a bit of intention, clarity, and care, trust goes up. When they don t, everything feels disposable, even good tools.

The system I use to consistently get customers from Reddit

Reddit has been my main growth channel for the past 6 months and I've been consistently getting 100+ high-intent visitors every week.

Here's the exact system you can copy:

What makes you decide not to try a product?

There are plenty of tools that seem useful on paper, yet something makes us close the tab instantly.

Sometimes it s pricing, sometimes messaging, sometimes the onboarding feels unclear.

Often it s a gut feeling that s hard to explain.

Parents, what kind of technology do you let your kids play with?

We ve already talked a few times about how handing a child a tablet isn t always the best solution.

Meanwhile, some countries are starting to ban access to social media for minors (even my country is considering a ban up to age 16).

But there are certain technologies that can actually develop a child s talent and imagination through play.

Building a SaaS is 50% coding, 50% fixing the stuff you broke yesterday 😭

The real founder coding vibe:

  • You ship a small fix break 3 things

  • You deploy confidently production crashes

  • Local works perfectly Vercel says nah

  • You spend 1 hour coding 4 hours debugging

  • Slack notifications hit instant anxiety

Founders know the pain:
You re coding, marketing, fixing bugs, writing docs, and answering customer emails all at the same time.

What s your funniest or most painful founder-coding moment recently?
Let s vibe in the chaos

What’s the #1 thing you want AI to fix in your job search?

AI is changing hiring fast but it still feels broken.
If you could wave a magic wand and have AI instantly solve one job-search problem
What would it be?

The hiring experience is broken. Why isn’t there a tool that fixes the communication layer?

I keep seeing the same problems over and over in job applications. Across LinkedIn, emails, ATS systems, referrals, and technical interviews:

For candidates:

  • different recruiters ask for CVs in different formats

  • no clear expectations for the process

  • ghosting after interviews or coding tests

  • positions closed with no notification

Hello world

Hello everyone, it is very cool to be part of the ProductHunt community.

A little bit about myself:

I'm the father of 2 wonderful children, and the lucky husband of a smart and beautiful wife.

Thinking about human-centered AI?

Hey Product Hunt - I'm Dorothy.

Solo founder working from home in suburban Philly. Chickens in the yard, cavalier pup on the couch, teens who may or may not be in their rooms.

I've built products and strategy for companies like Comcast, Schwab, and Merck. Took a broadband startup to IPO, co-founded a national nonprofit with $300M+ impact.

I'm working on a SaaS platform and exploring whether Product Hunt is the right place to launch. But mostly I'm here to connect with founders thinking about human-centered AI: not just efficiency, but how we design systems that amplify human judgment instead of replacing it.

What inspired you to start a business?

I'll say it bluntly that running a business is not as easy as it is presented on the Internet. You have to come up with a good and useful idea, and even then, you don't win.

You can only see the results after a long time. Not everyone can do it for a long time. To do it, you need to have a strong motive. For some people, it may be a family tradition, for some, money.

If you wanted to find talented people for your startup – where would you look?

In a time when big corporations are overpaying for their job offers just to steal the best talent from another big company, and in an era where everyone can build their own startup, there will always be room for people who prefer to join a team and work on something (in the future) big.

How would you find these promising talents?

Do you think AI will replace recruiters in 6 months?

My LinkedIn feed has been a complete warzone - recruiters having existential crises, HR scrambling to "AI-proof" their jobs.

This feels like classic "AI will replace [insert job]" panic. But recruitment isn't just screening resumes and scheduling calls.
