🙏 A Heartfelt Thank You to the Product Hunt Support Team

Today is launch day for Kinetic Mingle and before I talk about our product, I need to talk about the people who made this moment possible.

I want to personally thank Juan and Aine from the Product Hunt support team. Without their dedication, this launch simply would not have happened.

Are builders so busy building businesses that starting a family isn’t a priority?

Most of my classmates from elementary school, high school, and university have been married for a long time and have had kids for at least 4  5 years.

But none of them started a business. They got jobs, their shift ends at 5 on Friday, and then they go enjoy their free time.

New and nervous

Hey everyone

I'm Abiud, a builder who loves creating things and gets genuinely excited about turning ideas into products people actually use. I've been lurking here for a while, absorbing every launch story I could find. Now I'm a few days away from putting my first ever SaaS out into the world and I won't lie, I'm pretty nervous. If you've launched before, any advice for a first-timer? I'll take all the wisdom I can get.

Glad to finally be here.

Launching Kinetic Mingle March 24, 2026: Video-first dating app to eliminate catfishing

Hey Product Hunt! I'm the founder of Kinetic Mingle, I've been looking at threads here for a while and figured it's time to say hi!

What I Built

Kinetic Mingle is a video-first dating platform for adults 21+. We focus and lead with the the personal interaction part of online dating. It's front and center of our platform. Instead of static photos, filtered glamor shots and robotic swiping, users connect directly through video chat, video messaging, voice notes, and verified profiles. Our AI coaching assistant is a highlight feature. It uses adaptive learning tailored to individual user activity. You get your own personalized AI agent. Its a real gem!

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).

Should you add a shoutout to your Product Hunt launch?

tldr: yes. Shoutouts are one of the simplest distribution levers on Product Hunt.

Shoutouts are meant to pay it forward and highlight the tools that helped you build. But beyond goodwill, they create durable distribution for your product on Product Hunt and across LLM driven discovery.

When you shout out a product during launch, it becomes a founder review on that product s page. Founder reviews sit above regular reviews and include a link to both your profile and your product. That means your product is now attached to every future visit to that product s review page, long after launch day. For example, check out @timliao s shoutout of @Framer or @guymanzur s shoutout of @Base44

Lovon Has Changed - Our Mission Hasn’t

Two years ago, Lovon was made for couples who were already in a relationship.

We offered packs of psychology-based questions, quizzes, and mini-games. They helped partners talk about hard topics like trust, jealousy, and intimacy.

How much do you trust AI agents?

With the advent of clawdbots, it's as if we've all lost our inhibitions and "put our lives completely in their hands."

I'm all for delegating work, but not giving them too much personal/sensitive stuff to handle.

I Build an Idea I Love. I Need You to Tear It Apart.

Hi!

My name is Marta, and I m working on a startup idea that I genuinely believe could become something big and I want you to give me harsh and frank rather than nice and polite feedback.

I had a tumor scare and that made be think "How we live matters, how we leave matters too"

Hello Everyone,
Last year I had a tumour scare. Hearing that word and waiting for the doctor to explain felt like everything froze. In those few seconds I realised how fragile life actually is. We spend our whole lives working, building, planning the future but we rarely think about the people who would be left trying to make sense of everything if something happened to us.

That moment stayed with me. I kept thinking about how there are so many tools to handle money, assets and wills, but almost nothing for the emotional side of our lives. We don t just build wealth but relationships as well, we leave memories, recipes only we know, inside jokes, photos, videos, love. The things our families actually treasure.

That s why I m building Crux (www.cruxlegacy.com). It s a simple, human place to keep the important stuff safe and make sure the right people get it when they need it. The nominee system is a big part of that, you choose who gets what, and Crux handles the rest securely and privately. It s practical, but it s also personal. It lets you leave clarity and a little bit of yourself behind.

For me, the idea is pretty simple: how we live matters, and how we leave matters too. Happy to be here and meet people building things that make life a little easier and a little more meaningful.
Cheers
Nick

MY APP JUST WENT LIVE

Today I m launching Daaymn a dating app that finally fixes everything people hate about dating apps.

Let s be real: most dating apps are slow, expensive, and feel like full-time jobs.
Daaymn undercuts all of them on price, speed, and simplicity.

I built it because dating shouldn t feel like a chore or a subscription trap.

What Daaymn does:

👋 Hey PH — exploring what it means for AI to actually understand emotion

Hi! I m Freya, co-founder of Tarta Labs, and I spend most of my time thinking about one question:

What happens when AI can actually understand how we feel not just what we say?

We talk so much about AI being intelligent, but real human interaction is driven by something deeper tone, expression, eye contact, timing.
