... That's one of the things that stuck with me while putting together Edition #57 of Curiosity Saved The Cat, which went out this Sunday A study involving 1,800 participants across 9 experiments found the same pattern: we consistently underestimate how much we'll enjoy talking to someone, which might explain why we spend so much energy trying to skip past small talk rather than actually having it. The edition starts from something personal: I genuinely enjoy networking events ... ... didn't have, one you nearly talked yourself out of, that ended up meaning something.

... thought we knew We assumed enterprise customers wanted the same things as our small business users, just more of it. More security. More control. More features. We never talked to them. We read blog posts. We looked at competitor pricing pages. We guessed. Here's what we missed: Procurement cycles. Enterprise deals take 6-12 months. We had 30-day sales cycles. We weren't built for that. Security reviews. We needed SOC2. We didn't have it. Customers asked ... ... wasted $415,000 learning a lesson we could have learned in a week of customer calls. Now we have a rule: no enterprise features until someone from an enterprise pays us first. Not asks. Pays. What I'm curious

... Quick question for founders and indie hackers: what's slowing you down when you're actually building something new? I'm specifically interested in the building; the getting-users conversation is for another day! Specifically, I'm curious whether the scaffolding that has to exist before your core product does ever feels like a tax: auth, billing, permissions, user management, that kind of thing. A few things I'd love to know: Are you starting from a boilerplate or template ... ... evolve? Same question for standalone tools: does Clerk or Stripe get you where you need to go, or do you find yourself working around them? How much of your early building time would you say goes to "the thing" vs

... testing rabbit holes. Not the big models everyone talks about the smaller, specific tools that actually change how work gets done day to day. That obsession turned into ToolSignal, which I launched here today.

How do you decide which new tools are worth your time vs

... document. It feels like something that should be much simpler by now. Because of that I started building EasyPDF. The goal is to make creating and editing documents easier without having to jump between multiple tools. I m curious how people here usually handle PDFs. Do you rely on one main tool or do you end up using several different ones depending on the task? If anyone is interested in trying what I m building and sharing feedback ...

Feels like the difference isn t just messaging it s how directly the launch guides your first action. Curious if others notice this too, or if it s just me.

... everyone While working with Claude Code in VS Code , I ran into a small but frustrating workflow issue. For months I ve been using Antigravity , which allows you to select code and press Ctrl + L to instantly send that snippet as context to the agent. Even better, you can repeat this multiple times in the same message, and the UI provides context chips that let you trace the referenced code easily. However, when I started using the Claude Code VS

... everyone, I m currently building a small SaaS product, and I started thinking seriously about monitoring. Most tools (Datadog, New Relic, etc.) feel built for larger teams. Powerful, yes but also complex and expensive. So I m curious: What do you actually monitor in your small or solo SaaS? Do you track uptime only? Do you track latency? Do you rely on logs? At what point does monitoring start feeling like overkill? I m trying to understand what is truly ... ... essential vs

... product. Meanwhile, my "here's what Starnus does" posts? Way less engagement. This genuinely messed with my head. I'm sharing the actual X post below What I think happened: People connected with me as a person first, got curious, checked my profile, found Starnus, and signed up. The algorithm rewards content people actually want to engage with, not content you want them to engage with. The uncomfortable truth for founders: Your best marketing post might have nothing ... ... outperforming your actual launch content? Comment from Ayda Golahmadi(@ayda_golahmadi): @rolodexter  Yep. People open X to hang out and talk, not to get pitched. The best marketing here barely feels like marketing. It s conversation first, then curiosity

... everyone, Kane here. Launching Nativeline 2.0 on Saturday. The short version: you can now build native apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac with AI. Before we go live, I'm curious: What's an app you've wanted to build but gave up on because the platform felt too hard? Especially interested in Mac and iPad ideas. Those seem to be the ones people abandon most, too much complexity. Drop your ideas below. See you Saturday ...

... Over the past few days, you may have noticed a new account on Product Hunt called "Curious Kitty" commenting on some launch posts. It was created on 20th December 2025. First observation: it behaves like a bot. It only asks questions (no opinions, no praise, no criticism) and those comments get visually highlighted, similar to how awarded comments stand out on Reddit. (screenshot attached) Comment screenshot from Blinq launch post today! The account has a couple followers including ... ... team members, which makes it feel less random and more like an internal quiet experiment. @mikekerzhner @rajsb_ The questions are actually good. They re structured, product-aware and often push founders to explain positioning, use cases or differentiation. Curious

... teacher) and the creator of Scheda. For a long time, I felt that most social networks are great for entertainment, but not for learning. There s a lot of noise, very little depth, and almost no space for real curiosity. So I decided to build Scheda a social network focused on knowledge, culture, and learning. Scheda is built around knowledge cards: short, meaningful pieces of content designed to explain ideas, spark curiosity

... Genuinely curious about how people approach this! When you make tutorial videos, product demos, or walkthrough recordings; what's your workflow for adding narration? Do you: - Record audio while screen recording (and just deal with the "umms")? - Record screen first, then add voiceover separately? - Use AI voices? If so, how do you sync them? - Write scripts first or improvise? - Use any specific tools that make this easier? I've been building in this space and realized everyone has wildly different ...

In many Asian cultures, these aren't just "fortune telling" they are treated as strategic tools for business decisions, hiring, or choosing a launch date.

Belief: Do you view them as pure superstition, or do you think there is psychological/statistical value in them? Usage: If an AI tool could analyze your "energy ... ... present at the specific moment you were born.
