... rooting for them. And more than anything, they want freedom. Freedom to choose what to work on, who to work with, and when to close the laptop. Money matters, but control over their own time is usually the real prize. The awkward question: where do you show your work? Here's a problem Ananya ran into a few months in. She wanted to share her progress. Every new feature, every small milestone, every "we crossed 100 users" moment. But most ...

... beers while people demo. The plan is to repeat it every month or so, so I care more about getting the format right than about this one edition. Two things I keep going back and forth on: Individual vs teams. Individual means everyone ships something and nobody hides. Teams mean more ambitious projects but a worse experience for whoever gets the bad group. I've landed on individual for a one-day format, but I'm not sure. Curated vs

... brief better than either could alone. I m curious how other builders think about this: Would you enter a challenge where your AI agent is your teammate? And if not, what would stop you? - Too much setup? - Not enough prize money? - Unclear judging? - Privacy concerns? - Something else? I m especially interested in feedback from people building agents, local LLM workflows, or AI tools ...

... weekend project but I would love feedback on the product - what's missing, what would make you use it, what feels off. What it does: - Create raffles, silent auctions, donation pages, 50/50 draws, lucky door prizes, and event tickets - Sell tickets in person from your phone or let people buy online (Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards) - Run a live draw on the big screen or that anyone can see who from their phone - Winners get notified by SMS and email ...

... thinking about building a website where users earn points simply by staying active. They would need to check in at least once a day to keep their points valid. As users collect points, they could enter prize draws or redeem them for vouchers, discounts, or even free products. The main goal is to build an active user base. Later, if the platform grows, I'd like to partner with companies that are willing to provide vouchers or free products ...

... Winners from Vercel Day are confirmed. Top prize, a meeting with Vercel Ventures plus Startup Perks, goes to Nitrosend : it gives AI agents their own email inbox, so they can sign up for things and reply on your behalf instead of routing everything through yours. Four more walk away with Vercel Startup Perks: Alert Grouping by DrDroid collapses a flood of monitoring alerts down to the ones actually worth waking someone up for. Paradigm turns any goal into a personalized ...

... OpenAI credits on @CrawlRaven . Plenty left to build. Comment from Kuber Mehta(@kuberwastaken): Congratulations everyone :) Comment from Adana Marukhyan(@adana): @aaronoleary Congrats to all five teams! Not gonna lie - it stings a little to finish #6 when the prizes stop at #5 . We were literally one spot away. But that's also what makes launch days so memorable. Huge respect to everyone who built, shipped, and especially to the winners. Well deserved ! Comment from Rohan Chaubey(@rohanrecommends): @aaronoleary   @adana ...

... activity that relates to me, I completely missed this comment yesterday. I actually recall seeing a post in here from OpenAI duting my aunday night scrolling, and ot mentioned that July 22nd would be some kind of $10k prize contest, which didn't help my anziety or fear of flop at all, ha ha. But that number puts the whole day in perspective, honestly. 900+ launches besides me means front-page rank was never really the game I was playing ... ... beast of it's own nature, ha) the assets, the pricing, the policy updates, the listings that had been "almost done" for weeks... There is no ready, there is only launched. 4. The permanent assets are the actual prize

... side: does the $10k credit apply to actual usage costs, or is it a voucher with typical restrictions (can't stack discounts, expires in 90 days, etc.)? Makes a real difference for someone deciding whether to build something experimental vs. something they'd actually want to run in production.

Comment from ... ... racing every other GPT-5.6 launch for the same day's attention. might be worth staggering a day or two off July 23 if the goal is actually getting seen rather than qualifying for the prize

... stuck is technical questions from other makers surfacing edge cases we hadn't thought about, way more useful than the upvote count. the recognition is nice but the free QA from strangers who actually build things is the real prize. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @makimum_dev  I had the same thoughts after joining here in 2022. But it is better to be late than never discover something useful like Product Hunt :) Comment from Anastasiia(@alieksia): @galdayan ...

... building Playistry to help local businesses attract more customers through fun, interactive marketing campaigns. Instead of traditional coupons, businesses can create games like Scratch Cards, Spin the Wheel, Plinko, and Bingo to engage customers and reward them with prizes. The idea came from seeing how difficult it can be for small businesses to stand out and keep customers coming back. I wanted to make marketing more engaging, measurable, and enjoyable for both businesses and their customers. We're still early ...

... football events, including IPL, PSL, and FIFA-style fantasy contests. What makes it different is the reward model. Instead of charging users to enter contests, XI Fantasy Leagues connects sports fans with brands that want engagement. Sponsors can support prize pools, run task campaigns, and offer crypto or promotional rewards such as BTC, USDT, or virtual cards. We are still early and actively improving the product, SEO, sponsor pages, and user experience. I d really appreciate feedback from ...

... most important and challenging experiences you ll have as a founder is fundraising. I pitched VCs across London and San Francisco. Some spent 15 seconds on my deck. Some took the call just to diligence a competitor. One told me to ask for more money. Oh, and I found out your pitch is probably being recorded and run through AI. This is the high-impact version of all of those lessons to save you time, energy, and emotional damage. Please ... ... comment anything missing from your experience? OK, here we go...!

... output. Researchers call this passive learning , and decades of educational psychology research are consistent on one point: it doesn't produce lasting comprehension or the ability to apply knowledge in new contexts. The Feynman Technique , developed by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, points to the opposite approach: if you can't explain something simply, you don't really understand it. True mastery comes from active engagement from being forced to articulate, question, and reconstruct ideas yourself. That ... ... mind wants to go.

... middle ground nobody talks about and I think it's the right answer for most technical founders. The thing is, agentic coding is inevitable. The product scales, the economics usually don't. So the question isn't vibecode vs engineer, it's which parts need to survive contact with production and which parts just need to exist. I vibecoded everything that isn't core infrastructure and I don't regret a single line of it.
