Coding from your phone

Hey, I was wondering how many of you are coding from the phone - it's easier to do it with AI coding agents now, so I'm wondering how often developers are doing it.

Personally, I do some coding tasks daily from my phone and I'm curious how others are doing it?

What's something you built that you thought was genius and nobody used?

Three months. Two developers. One feature nobody used.

I knew it was bad when I checked the analytics and saw that the only person who used it more than once was me. And even I stopped after the second week.

Here's how I knew it was a waste of time. Not in hindsight. In the moment. I just ignored the signs.

The first sign: I couldn't explain it in one sentence.

The one marketing lesson I learned from building an AI product that no one talks about

When we started building Murror, I made the same mistake most AI founders make: I marketed the technology.

"Powered by AI." "Smart algorithms." "Personalized insights." All the buzzwords. And you know what happened? Crickets.

How do you decide what features should be free and what should be paid?

Let me start from the creator s perspective:
I personally don t have a product (apart from hiring people for creative work or offering personal consultations).

But as a creator, I constantly share content, insights, and information, value that helps me build trust (for free). Based on that perceived expertise, people eventually decide to work with me (a paid service).

When you launched on Product Hunt, how did you pick your category?

Most founders treat categories like labels.
Product Hunt treats them like distribution.

Categories weren t added to classify products.
They were added because one global feed stopped working.
Too much noise. Too little intent.

Your category decides:

  • who sees you

  • how you re evaluated

  • the quality of feedback you get

In 2026, which AI automation tools are becoming part of your real workflow, not just experiments?

AI is moving fast. Every day there s a new tool promising leverage. Most don t stick.

In 2025, the tools that mattered weren t the flashiest.
They were the ones that quietly saved time on work I already did every day.

Some are now non-negotiable.
Others are on my watchlist because they could replace entire steps, not just speed them up.

What AI tools actually earned a permanent spot in your workflow in 2025?
And which ones do you think will matter in 2026?

If you had to delete your entire website but keep only one section live, what would that section be?

Over time, I ve realized how much effort we put into our websites on landing pages, pricing, testimonials, product tours and yet, most visitors only ever deeply interact with one or two sections depending on your ICP.

  • For developer-first products, that s usually docs.

  • For consumer apps, maybe it s onboarding or pricing.

  • For enterprise tools, perhaps case studies or ROI calculators.

The rest is mostly noise or at least secondary.

It made me wonder:

Why your 500+ member community might not help you win on Product Hunt at all?

Yesterday, I had a chat with a founder who s launching on Product Hunt next week.

He said: We ve got a community of 500+ people. Getting Product of the Day should be easy.

So I asked one question:

How many of them have an active Product Hunt accounts that are at least 4 6 weeks old?

How much time does your team spend building pricing and billing in-house?

Almost every team building usage-based or credit-based pricing I ve talked to says something like:

We just have to aggregate events, multiply with a price, and send it to Stripe.

Shouldn t take more than a week.

Product Hunt is no longer just a launch platform...

When we launched our product here in April 2025, the playbook was quite different:

  • Create a Coming Soon page

  • Build your network through the Notify Me page

  • Let Product Hunt notify everyone on launch day

  • Launch, celebrate, and (hopefully) trend

We followed that playbook to the dot and ended up winning #1 Product of the Day.

The network effect from that launch still brings traffic even today.
