Early-stage founders often try to improve their product as much as possible and tend to take almost any feedback into account.
Sometimes they end up adding every feature users (even non-paying ones) ask for, even when those features are unnecessary. The product then becomes more complicated and harder to use.
And I m not even talking about the stage when the product is already established. At that point, there are more users, and their expectations start to differ.
TL;DR: Anthropic refused to sign a contract with the Pentagon that would have allowed the U.S. military to use all of its models without restrictions. Anthropic insisted on an exception, and brace yourself, that its models cannot be used: 1) for mass surveillance of citizens, 2) for autonomous killing. Now the administration is threatening that if the founder of Anthropic doesn't change his mind by a certain date, they will come after him.
Google, OpenAI, and Musk (Grok) have all signed the contract.
Following Sam Altman's announcement over the past few hours, people have been speaking out massively about cancelling their OpenAI subscriptions and subscribing to Claude.
We spend a surprising amount of time rewriting Slack / Teams messages and emails, not because the content is wrong, but because the tone might land badly.
Before you hit send you start questioning: Do you optimize for clarity, warmth, authority or speed?
Hey everyone, my name is Salim, living in Montreal, Canada. I am by heart a software engineer working in the corporate world leading teams and afterhours exploring and building things with new tools, ways and technologies.
My latest tinkers which I will be launching next week here on Product Hunt is VibeRewrite (https://viberewrite.com) born out of a simple idea, and some personal experience with loss of words or correct vibe or tone when replying to messages. With more time I spent gathering feedback and working on it the more it's evolving and the more I am hyped and motivated to grow and solve more problems with it.
So, basically this is me and my latest that got me into this community. Looking forward to e-meet and communicate with a lot of you.
Rewrite any message into Polite, Corporate, Passive-Aggressive, and more. VibeRewrite rewrites your message in the tone you actually meant. Paste your text, pick a vibe, and get it rewritten - meaning intact.
It helps with:
- Making your message clear and respectful without sounding robotic
- Adding confidence without sounding aggressive
- Keeping urgency without triggering defensiveness
- Turning "oops" drafts into something you'd be proud to send
In short: same message, better delivery. 🌶️
I am a Computer Science student doing research into how solopreneurs and small startups create new apps and what their stack looks like. Particularly, I'm interested in how you handle things like authentication, billing, and permissions/authorization in your apps.
Let me know what you're working on below and how you're going about it -- I'd love to connect for some quick calls to learn about your product and talk about your process in building it!
We re all builders here, which usually means at some point we looked at something clunky, slow, or frustrating and thought, there has to be a better way. Most products don t start with a grand vision; they start with irritation, curiosity, or firsthand pain.
I d love to learn more about how others here have navigated that journey:
How did you uncover the problem you decided to work on? What signals told you this problem was worth solving? How did you validate (if at all) whether people would actually pay for a solution? Has your product stayed true to the original problem, or did it evolve into something different? What surprised you the most along the way?
A tagline is the first piece of content a user will see about your product on the leaderboard. It's so important that you get it right. You should be able to get a really solid idea of what your product is just by reading a handful of words.
In the spirit of forever optimising our taglines, I wanted to do a little experiment:

Let me know if you need support with your launch, I'll be there as a supportive community member! This is the best thing that's happened to me this year Thanks to the ProductHunt team for the honor.
