... Product Hunt I m Purushotam (LINAPIS) I m building DataSnifferAI because I kept seeing the same painful moment inside growth/marketing agencies: A client asks: What are competitors doing right now and what should we do about it? and the honest answer becomes 3 days + 27 tabs + screenshots + messy docs .

Novoselac(@d_nov): @monatruong_murror The layoff wave has hit me 3x's in the last 5 years. I'm riding it out by seriously upping my AI skills.

... finance day-to-day.  Bookkeepers enter receipts. Accountants do year-end filings. But beauty pros are left in the dark for the most part of the year when it comes to profit and tax estimates.  There are plenty of appointment booking and payment collection software out there, which helps to manage the sales side of things.  But how about actual earnings? Income - expenses = profit - tax = take home pay.  Tools like that simply didn t exist. Until ... ... learn how to build a real product with code. I had to reason through problems, read and debug code, connect frontends to backends, work with databases and APIs... And I did get quite comfortable living in VS

... what s next, too.) Platforms: we ve spent time with Google DeepMind, OpenAI and Microsoft in the last few weeks. Their roadmaps heavily influence the entire industry. Other builders & events : it s amazing seeing what excites people. SF vs. London is hilariously different. VCs : they see thousands of pitches. Their pattern-recognition is a cheat code if you listen carefully. Customers : sometimes you have to ignore everything above and ground yourself in what the average, non-bubble, person ... ... copy, paste, and edit. Agency is high. With inbox AI tools, the emails are written for you . Agency drops. As models accelerate, the question becomes: Who s really behind the wheel? I do a healthy amount of editing and plenty

... noticed two main narratives in how companies view their competitors. Either it s a fight to the death approach exactly like what we see between Replit and Lovable (though it seems Replit does more of the provoking ) basically: We speak badly about our competition. Or it s more motivational: We speak positively about our competition. Tho I do not know whether I have seen some example of this competition, I can see it only in terms of personal branding when ... ... people do not want to say bad things about someone, even when they are competitors

... Software By July 18, 2024, we stopped working on the hardware device completely and gave all our attention to Wispr Flow, the voice dictation platform. Our investors supported us. They had seen some inklings of this and seen plenty of founders unable to make the tough call of killing their baby. Still, that difficult situation forced some other difficult decisions. We initially thought we would keep a handful of people on the hardware team so that we could keep doing ... ... that, we weren't even a consumer software company. By January, we were seeing long posts on LinkedIn and X about how the product had changed people s lives. We also saw ~20% of our users convert to paid (vs

... Product Hunt! Just shipped Vibes - music discovery through human stories, not algorithms. There are plenty of ways to discover music out there, but they're all algorithm-driven. Spotify's Discover Weekly uses your listening data, Apple Music has editorial playlists from people you don't know, and TikTok just throws random 15-second clips at you. I didn't like that and wanted something more human. I wanted to build a place where you actually get the story behind ... ... changed my perspective on everything."

We re a  remote company , but we still spend plenty of time together. When travelling together, for example, Tim and I always book an Airbnb instead of booking separate hotel rooms. This grounds us back in the  early days of PostHog  when we worked 16-hour days ... ... stuff first, because starting with the bad stuff means there s no real energy to do optional-feeling opportunistic things. Remember that startups win on their upside because everything is screwed up by default, so make sure you spend plenty

... have to install anything, updates are seamless, and their data is accessible from any device with a browser. For investors, the advantages are just as compelling: a single tech stack, easier user onboarding, lock-in effects, and plenty of levers for driving growth and virality. And yet, here on Product Hunt, the occasional local app still gets a warm reception. Which raises a question I keep thinking about: Do local apps especially those built by small indie teams still have ... ... kind of speed and reliability still matters to me. Comment from Alex Cloudstar(@alexcloudstar): Great question. As a user, I still install native apps, but only when they clearly offer a better experience than a browser can. Tools like VS

... everyone! Open source has become a big and important approach, helping developers, startups, and communities build incredible tools together. But open-sourcing a project isn't just about uploading code to GitHub there are plenty of challenges, surprises, and lessons along the way, right??.
