Products in the top 10 are usually featured in the following day s newsletter, but Meridian was included today. It is an incredible milestone for our team and a strong signal that our launch has been featured.

Meridian is an open-source, local-first AI work journal that captures developer activity, organizes it into a clear timeline, and drafts worklogs and daily updates for approval.

We are still live and currently ranked #2 on Product Hunt. Your support and honest feedback would mean a lot to us.

Because building products has become much more accessible thanks to AI, the bar has had to rise a bit, or at least the expectations have become stricter.

I built my own tool  SafeLimit, but personally, I wouldn t launch it on Product Hunt yet because it s still very basic and doesn t even have a website.

Every day, after launching, makers are contacted on LinkedIn and X by people offering to sell votes. As the Product Hunt team, we are very much aware of this and really hate it. We have systems in place to neutralize this type of gaming. Every vote counts for a different number of points on Product Hunt. A couple examples:

• An account with a recently created gmail address and no history of quality contributions on Product Hunt: this vote will count for 0 points. Yes, this might be a well intentioned user, but we take a conservative approach to protect the community. If the account has a company email or applies for verification on Product Hunt, that's a different story.

• An account with a company email address linked to a legitimate LinkedIn account with a history of meaningful contributions on Product Hunt: this vote carries significant weight.

A couple questions for the community:

• Are there specific accounts on Product Hunt that you suspect participate in vote selling? You can reply here or email report@producthunt.co

• What would you want to see us do differently here?
