I'll go first.

I still reply to every comment manually. Reddit, LinkedIn, Product Hunt, forums, Twitter, Discord. Every single one.

AI could do this. There are tools that generate replies, post on schedule, analyze sentiment, even mimic your brand voice. But I don't use them. Here's why.

A 2024 study on community engagement across 500 brands found that personalized responses drive 3.2x higher retention and 4.7x more repeat interactions than automated replies. People can tell when a response is copy-pasted. They can feel when no one actually read their comment. The average user only needs 2-3 automated interactions before they disengage entirely.

As founders, calls are part of our daily life. Brainstorming, quick updates, random discussions with the team and there s always value in those moments. But most of the time, all that value just disappears after the call.
By connecting Prodshort to your calendar, it automatically joins your calls and turns them into ready-to-post content.

If you're a founder and want to create content, I'm doing short discussion calls. Let's connect !!

Hi everyone!

I just received the news that OptiClear is now fully compliant with the Digital Services Act (DSA) and verified on the App Store for the EU market.

As an indie developer, I was initially a bit worried about this process. We ve all heard stories about verification loops, rejected documents, or the privacy concerns of listing contact info. But getting that "successfully verified" email felt like a small but significant victory for the global reach of my app.

I m curious about your experiences:
1 How long did the verification take for you?
2 Did you face any weird document requests from Apple?
3 For those outside the EU, are you keeping your apps live there despite the new transparency rules?

Hey ProductHunt!

Trophy is now powering over 24M streaks which is kind of crazy to think about considering we only launched 1.0 here in January this year.
One of the parts I find most interesting about building horizontal infrastructure is that as you scale and power more and more products you get to see insights that most teams building in isolation will only see a part of, and you can use those insights to make the the infrastructure better for everyone.
For example, because we power streaks for so many users, Trophy can tell that 25% of all streaks are lost on a Friday, closely followed by Saturday (19%) and then Wednesday (18%).

Hey everyone

ClawOffice was a bit of a gimmick - a 3D virtual office for AI agents. It was fun to build and got some attention on launch, but let's be real: it didn't take off. People thought it was cool for a minute, then moved on. No real retention, no real problem being solved.

Here's what I actually learned from it:

• Novelty value. A cool concept gets you a launch day. It doesn't get you users who come back on day 30.

• I was building for the demo, not the workflow. ClawOffice looked great in a screenshot. It didn't solve anything measurable for anyone.

• "What gets tracked gets improved" is real. The founders I talked to afterward all had the same pain - they were shipping features and running experiments with no clue what was actually driving revenue.

no one asked actually but to be honest i think i had to say something cuz i kinda feel bad that all the support i got here just went away...
right now if you visited the domain finkitty.com you will find out that its listed for sale, i took this decision after a very long sitting with myself and ended up deciding that since im not having any users in this app i might just kill it and shift my focus into something else (working on templateson.com now)
yet im still holding it inside cuz i do like the name of this app and i feel like it has very good potential and i just cant see it..
so... if you have any great idea for an app named "FinKitty" please let me know
thanks

We recently launched a free chart generator (CSV/Excel charts) alongside our main product not as part of our free tier, but as a completely no-signup tool.

The goal is to let people experience the value immediately that aha moment of turning raw data into a clean chart before asking for anything.

Hey everyone! With the landscape for building voice agents shifting lately, it feels like we re moving away from heavy, manual API orchestration toward something more streamlined.

How you re currently architecting voice agents. Specifically: Have you used the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to build or provide real-time data/context to your voice agents? Does it actually streamline your tool-calling, or is it more trouble than it's worth?

Would love to hear what's working (and what's breaking) in your current workflow. Drop your thoughts below!

Hey all,

One of the most important and challenging experiences you ll have as a founder is fundraising.

We ve just released an update to the browser extension.

The extension now opens in the browsers side panel, which means it will no longer cover part of your search. The extension also remains open as you search, so feel free to switch between tabs and pages as you re doing your deep dives. Plus, we ve integrated Listen Mode into the extension. So now, you can listen to your content in that familiar voice you ve grown accustomed to over the past week!

We just launched on-screen text translation not just subtitles.

As a quick example, we translated Jensen Huang s GDC talk into Chinese:

• audio Chinese voice, tone preserved

• on-screen content localized, style preserved

I built a free tool that simplifies generating Access Tokens for Shopify custom apps.

If you've worked with Shopify's API since their early 2026 update, you know the process got significantly worse multiple screens, manual URL copying, and way too many steps for something that should be simple.

Ran a full SEO audit on my project today. Found out Google had 39 pages stuck in "Discovered not indexed."

What I fixed:

• Switched profile pages from force-dynamic to ISR caching

• Converted my AI agent page from client to server component so crawlers can actually see it

• Added schema markup (BreadcrumbList, Person, Organization, SoftwareApplication)

• Removed unoptimized images, enabled AVIF/WebP

• Added an About page for E-E-A-T signals

• Updated sitemap with all missing pages

Resubmitted the sitemap, checked Search Console, down to 2 not-indexed pages now. Ranking dipped temporarily but from what I've read that's normal after big changes.

I genuinely love listening to podcasts. It's one of the best ways I've found to stay on top of new trends, pick up strategies I wouldn't have discovered otherwise, and come across founders and operators I'd never stumble on through regular reading.

So I'm always on the lookout for new ones worth adding to the rotation.

In most parts of the world, Easter is being celebrated right now, honestly, not really.

Today, I was invited to a weekly meeting despite the holiday.
I had forgotten one fact: Orthodox countries celebrate Easter a week later.
(and countries in the Far East simply don t have this holiday at all.)

This is actually a broader topic, because every country celebrates holidays differently, and with many teams being international, some kind of synchronisation is necessary the question is: how?

SlideOS started as a very real annoyance.

We built it because we were tired of watching AI-generated presentations turn into manual reformatting projects. The problem was not getting slides made. The problem was getting them made in the right brand, the right layouts, and the right standard for teams that actually ship work.

Someone from our businesses (executives, stakeholders, advisors etc) would generate a presentation on Gamma, or Kimi, or Beautify, and then say "Re-format this in our brand format".

Hey everyone

I m a student developer and today is my first Product Hunt launch.

I'm a developer who spent 2 weeks building a comparison platform for trading brokers 345 brokers, 10K+ pages, all generated programmatically from a PostgreSQL database with Next.js.

Two weeks after launch: 33K Google impressions, pages already ranking on page 1 for long-tail queries. Zero ad spend.

Stash Pro The AI-Powered Vault for Everything You Save

I built Stash Pro because I was tired of losing my own content.

14,000 screenshots. 847 bookmarks. 347 YouTube videos in "Watch Later." I saved everything. I found nothing.

Last year, I spent 20 minutes searching for a recipe my mom sent me. I had it somewhere. I knew I did. But after scrolling through Instagram saves, camera roll, and 3 different bookmark folders nothing.
