We ve already talked a few times about how handing a child a tablet isn t always the best solution.

Meanwhile, some countries are starting to ban access to social media for minors (even my country is considering a ban up to age 16).

But there are certain technologies that can actually develop a child s talent and imagination through play.

Apple is reportedly pushing back on AI vibe coding apps like @Replit and @Vibecode App, tools that let users create apps just by typing prompts.

The issue isn t a new rule. Apple is enforcing an old one:

• Apps must be self-contained

• They can t download or run new code that changes functionality after review

Yesterday @fmerian recommended Googly Eyes from @Sindre Sorhus, which I immediately downloaded! After enjoying the eyes following my cursor around for the day, that got me thinking - what other fun, goofy apps do you all have for your Mac, Chrome, or other devices that don't necessarily serve a purpose other than to bring joy and break the monotony? @Scroll Buddy is another one that comes to mind that I have saved in a collection.

We see productivity apps, AI-based software, open-source products, etc. all the time, but what about your saved products someone made after their 9-5 or on a weekend just to have fun and test their skills?

Maybe it is only me, but I see certain categories of online products that seem to be like "copy-paste" and the market is overcrowded by them. (and they repeats in the PH charts too often as well)

They are especially these:

• AI writing tools

• social media apps (I do not think that something breath-taking can be developed there)

• productivity apps (trackers)

• fitness apps

I see a lot of tech products on Product Hunt that are meant to improve someone else's business situation, and as many makers as possible are ideally targeting the B2B market.

However, this past week I've also seen a lot of "fun" products that not only made it into the featured category but also earned one of the product of the day titles.

Hi all! I m working on an idea that came out of my own frustration:

There are SO many AI tools right now for writing, meetings, code, design, finance but it s getting overwhelming.

Even though I m deep in the AI world, I still find myself Googling things like: Best AI tools for solo founders ; Free AI video editing apps ; Is this tool even legit?

So here s the vision:

I was recently talking with a group of founders, and we went around sharing tools we're using now. Posting my notes for our community here - would love to know what else people are using!

Hey everyone!

I'm Julia, a founder with a background in economics (PhD), over 10 years in fintech and IT, and a deep belief that technology can make everyday life a little easier especially for families.

A few years ago, I moved to Argentina with my daughter, and like many working parents, I found myself caught between too many responsibilities and too little time especially when it came to something as simple and important as school lunches.

Last week, I downloaded and purchased @AgBr after seeing it on the homepage. Its design and super specific goal just immediately clicked with me. I love black & white photography, and this was a really interesting and approachable way to experiment with it; even though I've never been much of a photographer myself. I'm usually just appreciating others' photos.

But then, over this past weekend, I noticed that I kept feeling compelled to take pictures throughout my day so that I could play around with different filters and try out different levels of film grain on them. Having the tools to create was suddenly making me look for more and more opportunities to use them.
