Product Hunt: 45 60 minutes every day (365 days 4 years) LinkedIn Bluesky Substack X (Twitter) YouTube Why am I asking?

Since there's no gap or in between time, I don't even get the urge to open Instagram or Twitter. More real progress.

... check the agent's plan before letting it execute - They commit small, review often, and roll back without ego - They treat the agent as a fast intern who needs clear briefs The 'just vibe it' framing makes for good Twitter content. The people actually shipping production code with AI look more like senior engineers running a tight async team. Maybe vibe coding scales when it stops being vibey?

... hours free on launch day to engage with comments, upvotes, and reply to people. The first few hours matter most 3 You're not embarrassed to share it sounds silly, but if you hesitate to post it on Twitter/X, you might not be ready What I learned today: I probably should've waited until I had a short demo video ready. Several people asked for one and I didn't have it prepared. That's my #1 regret. Also ... ... This matches what I'm seeing in reverse, unfortunately. Everything on mine came in since launch itself, nothing built up beforehand, and it shows in how it's tracking. Comment from Raphael C.Sena(@raphael_c_sena): Slightly off topic

... that there's a real person behind the account. What has changed in your social media strategy over the last few months? Comment from hiroshi(@hasui0310): I felt the same way. I used to AI generated picture fro X(Twitter) until three month ago. Now, I stop AI picture,.Because Many accounts post with AI generated picture, I tired from AI picture. AI generated contents is wearing them out. In fact, imperfect photos tend to make a better impression. Comment ... ... post personally.

... what to scale, and what to just let go of. those decisions get harder, not easier, as things grow. Comment from Memduh Mehmet PANPALLI(@mpanpalli): @busmark_w_nika  Somewhat. I was writing and sharing on Dev.to and Twitter during the build, but not consistently enough. The silence on launch day was partly on me for not building an audience first. Comment from Stacy Wycoff(@stacywycof83995): For me it's not one moment, it's the constant low grade fatigue ... ... anything from the ground up, I would just follow tutorial after tutorial, and it felt like I wasn't really getting anywhere.

... been running Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex pretty heavily for the last few months and I keep hitting the same loop: 1. Start a task in one agent 2. Switch to something else (Slack, Twitter, another terminal) 3. Come back 30-40 minutes later 4. Agent finished 35 minutes ago. Or worse, it's been waiting for my approval the entire time. The more agents I run, the worse it gets. There's no unified way to know what ... ...

... good :) Comment from Andrii Krugliak(@theuniverseson): The personal-brand-first risk you named is real, but I think it is fixable: build the brand around the problem you obsess over, not around yourself. If people show up for the topic, the praise stays honest, because they actually care whether the thing solves it. The founders who get false positives are usually the ones who made themselves the product instead of the problem. Comment from Taylan Kaymakc (@taylankaymakci): @emre_yilmaz_easyparser ... ... work in public. The CEO building a personal brand without a product to point at is one thing. But by the time the product exists, the brand-without-product founder has 6 months of audience that paid attention to topic

... founders about why they don't post on LinkedIn. Almost all of them say "I don't have time" at first. But when I dig deeper, that's not really it. They'll spend 30 minutes scrolling Twitter, or an hour in a useless meeting, but they say they can't write one LinkedIn post? The real problem: They haven't defined their personal brand or locked in their content strategy for the long run. They don't have clarity ... ... what that something should be, and close the tab.

... another ban for me, now for the whole week (168hrs) :D Comment from Aleksandar Blazhev(@byalexai): Great topic, Nika! This is the biggest nightmare for makers who launch products on Product Hunt. In many cases, they end up completely rejecting Product Hunt. They stop launching. They start hating the platform. Which is childish. It s like stopping posting on LinkedIn or Twitter

... April 10th if you want to see our approach. Reddit with face scans = LinkedIn. Hard pass. Comment from Zackary Goncz(@zackary_goncz): No I would not. Plus, it is not necessary with reddit. They have moderators. Facebook or twitter are a hellhole of bots. Reddit doesn't have that as much because they have moderators. They have some but its one of the few websites where you might actually be looking at comments from real people.
