About

Hi :) I'm a technical writer who loves to code. Started with IoT and Arduino, then moved to Python for automation and scraping. Now I write scraping guides and build Streamlit demos. I like to run my own tests and research instead of just trusting reviews because why not? On Product Hunt to discover tools that are simple, functional, and actually useful. Always open to chat and learn about interesting products

Content created by you or decided by AI, which one is higher quality?

While building a product, I ve also been trying to run content on social media to bring in more traffic. I experimented with creating AI-generated characters and producing UGC-style videos around them.

During this process, I realized something interesting: there are hundreds of tools that can generate virtual characters and UGC-style videos. But what actually makes a video engaging isn t the tool - it s the authenticity of the person creating the content.

Do you trust smart homes? Maybe you won’t after the story of how one man controlled 7k robot vacuums

I know it sounds almost cringe,

but I recently came across an article describing how someone used Claude Code to access robot vacuum devices across 24 countries and potentially observe their environments.

Hi from a tech writer

Hi everyone :)

I'm Valentina, a technical writer who got into this field kind of by accident. I studied engineering and started with IoT devices and Arduino, then learned Python for automation and scraping. Somewhere along the way I ended up writing guides instead of just coding, and honestly I really enjoy it.

Why I'm here? I've been lurking on Product Hunt for a while and finally decided to join the conversation. As someone who writes about technical products, I'm always looking for new tools to explore and test. I also love seeing what other makers are building and learning from this community.

One thing I've noticed is that I prefer testing products myself rather than just trusting reviews. If anyone here is building dev tools, automation products, or anything in the AI space, I'd be happy to test them out and give honest feedback from a technical writer's perspective.
