... Indie Hackers x Cognition meetup in Dubai last night. @marclou showed the list of boring stuff every SaaS has to build. Right next to Stripe and auth: Emails: DNS records, avoid spam. It stuck with me becuase it's exactly the pattern. you set SPF, DKIM and DMARC once at launch, then never look again. Until the welcome email lands in spam and nobody knows why. The 3 things that usually break later: SPF goes over 10 DNS lookups after ...

... other cities in Nigeria have very active tech hubs shipping globally. Comment from Andriana Oprysko (@andriana_oprysko): Poland, definitely. You can feel it best in Warsaw. Open Luma on any given evening and there are often even two tech/AI meetups or startup events running at the same time. A few years ago you d be lucky to find one a week. Part of it comes from the economic and political situation, but let s not get into politics here :) Comment ...

... increasingly teams using AI for prospecting). A few questions for those who've done this before: Which conferences/events (US, EU, or virtual) have given you the best ROI for meeting potential customers in sales/RevOps/GTM? Are niche, smaller events (meetups, unconferences) worth it compared to big-name ones like SaaStr or Dreamforce? Any events specifically focused on AI + sales tooling that you'd recommend, since that's our core differentiator? If you've exhibited/sponsored before was it worth the cost ...

... Starting out, I found that the best connections came from showing up consistently rather than trying to network with everyone at once. Local meetups, hackathons, demo days, and online founder communities are useful, but only when you participate. Share what you are building, ask specific questions, offer help, and follow up with the people whose work genuinely interests you. Which community, event, or habit helped you form your first meaningful startup connections? I am based out of bengaluru, India #bengaluru ...

... Product Hunt I m building Cirvo a caf meetup platform in Germany. The idea came from a simple problem: people often want to go out, meet others, or create small social plans, but they don t know where to go or who to go with. Cirvo connects caf s, restaurants, local events, and communities so people can turn them into real-life meetups

... difficult moments, especially when I'm stagnating or the results tend to decline. When you have a co-founder, it's a little better. Maybe there are support groups for solo-founders (like build in public) Or there are meetups, online networking/calls, where you get advice. Or do you solve it with a partial "step back" Where do you look for support and redirection? (Personally, I wouldn't want to slip into talking to ChatGPT.) :D Comment from Nika(@busmark ...

... Slack or Discord. Companies need to differentiate themselves , gain a competitive advantage, and build relationships with clients/users on a more personal level. Here are a few examples: A local advertising agency, Visbility, holds Friday Beer at 5 PM meetups where they educate the general public about content marketing and other topics. Lovable holds hackathons for builders. Product Hunt organises pitch days (like that one today) to improve "starting positions" of makers. The things your company does for its community should ... ... compounds over time. To your question, what would make me loyal is probably feeling like I m learning alongside the company, not just being marketed to. Out of curiosity, have you seen more traction from in-person stuff like meetups

... companies at the center. The real bottleneck may stop being production and shift toward attention, credibility, and demand exactly the issue you re pointing at with "who will buy all this?" So the interesting question may be less solo vs. company and more "who owns trust and distribution in an AI-abundant market?"

... offer. Comment from Monk Mode(@ranvir_singh12): Unpopular take: don't look for a co-founder. At least not right away. I spent months trying to find the "perfect co-founder" for my last project. Went to meetups, did the YC co-founder matching thing, had dozens of coffee chats. None of it worked because you can't evaluate someone you've never actually shipped something with. What worked: I started building solo. Launched an MVP. Got early users. Then ...

... doing any distribution yet still benefits from community and algorithmic support, randomization can help surface it, which is positive, but it also feels unfair to those who are putting in the work, so the impact is mixed. One alternative could be to keep the first four or more hours of the day random as usual and the rest of the day fully merit-based, and then introduce randomization on a designated random launch day (say every weekend or thursday ... ... core idea, everyone ships something within 24 hours based on that foundation, and those submissions get their own leaderboard.

... Product Hunt community Let's cut through the noise. Here are five of the most common fears about location tracking and the facts behind them. The Myth vs. Reality at a Glance Myth 1: "If I share my location, I'm being spied on 24/7." This is perhaps the biggest misconception. The image of a blinking dot on a map that never goes off is a fiction. The Reality: Reputable safety and family apps are built on explicit, user-controlled ... ... just for parents watching kids." While family safety is a major use case, this view is far too narrow. The Reality: Location sharing is a versatile modern tool for adult relationships and personal safety. Couples use it to coordinate meetups
