Connect with the Product Hunt community

Hey Product Hunt community!

We re excited to be back with something we ve spent the last 15 months building, alongside our experimental hardware interfaces.

Our journey started with a series of experiments in human-computer interaction. We wanted to understand what the next interface for technology could look like, and those early experiments led us to build Dune, a context-aware keypad for Mac.

We launched Dune on Product Hunt, where it became the #1 Product of the Day. The response from this community was incredible. We shipped Dune to hundreds of early adopters and had countless conversations with them to understand which use cases for a context-aware device truly win.

If you run Claude Code on an API key, or through Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry or a gateway, you have no plan limits for the app to show. In 0.3.34 it shows what today has cost at API prices instead: on the bar, at the top of the panel, in settings and in Claude Code's status line. A small badge says how you pay, and the count starts again at midnight. If some of your sessions run on a plan and others pay per use, you see the plan's limits.

Also in this one: limits are rings now, in the status line and in the panel. The crew's name tags in Claude's replies are a round face and the name in bold, because Ghostty showed seams in the old ones. In iTerm the plan badge has no thin lines through it any more. Reopen your terminal app once after the update to see the new look.

Building a team or want to join a startup?

Founders, teams, and startups drop a comment if you're hiring.

Lancetta s advice isn t only for the menu bar. Since 0.61.0 it s also a command, and your agents can use it.

Three commands, installed with one click in Settings General Command line:

lancetta statusline
lancetta advice
lancetta usage --json

My LinkedIn inbox is half spam these days. Pitches right after connecting, fake "quick question" messages, AI written compliments about my profile.

But I still reply to some strangers. Usually when they mention something real I posted or just ask a normal human question without selling right away.

I'm curious where your line is?

What makes you reply to a DM from someone you don't know? And what makes you ignore it instantly?

I just walked out of the gym, and I feel ready to move mountains! =D

For a while, I gave up exercising. And yesterday, the bell rang when my teammate asked the whole team: When was the last time you did some sport?

I opened our invoices this morning... and closed them right away hehe

Claude Max for the whole team, the API on top for our agents, a few other tools here and there...

Hey makers

In March you showed up for us. Today we show up for you.

A Semrush study tracking 600,000 keywords over six months found that AI Overviews were increasingly appearing in searches where buyers research products, compare options, and evaluate potential purchases.

The study identified finance, education, and electronics among the categories experiencing significant growth in AI Overview appearances.

I ve written a few posts about the thinking behind Seamcult: why MCP, why there s no built-in chat, and why it s free during early access. I thought I d bring them together here as a short FAQ, with quick answers below and links to the full posts.
Why MCP, and why no built-in chat?

You already have an assistant with your preferred model, conversation history, and a chat interface you know. MCP lets that assistant work directly with Seamcult s drafting tools while you review the result on the canvas. This lets us focus on the pattern editor, and avoids charging you for another layer of AI usage through our own chat.

More on why Seamcult has no chat of its own

Why does the model you connect matter?

And again the pricing plan =D

Let s discuss the serious side of product growth.

At first, it seems easy: set some prices, create a few plans, and start selling your product.

But when the time actually comes, a ton of questions appear...

Bro, you're not a failure. Great success is rare, not the norm. Although all the noise in the media can sometimes make it seem otherwise.

Don't burden yourself with other people's expectations or your own ambitions. Everyone has different circumstances and their own path in life. Learn to appreciate what you've already achieved and all the good things you have in your life.

You're already doing great. Appreciate your journey and never stop dreaming. There's still so much ahead of you, including things that are meant just for you.

Netfox 0.54.0 is a tiny one

Netfox Goodies, the pack that helps keep Netfox free, is now a click away from inside the app:

Help Netfox Goodies opens the pack's page
The About window shows it in a card, under the sponsor buttons
No background requests: the page opens only when you click
The About window opens a little taller, so everything fits in every language

0.1.4 is out with a new opt-in feature, Distraction guard.

How to turn it on

1. Right-click Hamdori Open Panel

2. Turn on Distraction guard

When a site on your list (YouTube, Instagram and a few others are there by default) is in the front tab, Hamdori stares at it for a moment, then slurps that tab up. Your other tabs stay put. Apps on the list get moved out of view instead.

Whenever I travel abroad, I can usually get by with English.

In the rare cases when I visit countries where very few people speak English, I can still manage with a translation app.
And now, AI can even translate conversations in real time.

I only learn foreign languages these days to fill my free time (if I have any left).

Something I started to understand better is that fortune might be the result of the steps we take.

From a young age, I always believed I had some kind of fortune - passing exams, getting license or verified somewhere... Somehow, things worked out for me =D

But getting older and, hopefully, wiser, I started looking at it from another perspective.

I think that fortune comes from the steps we took earlier.

We used to learn software.
Now software learns us!

Two days out. The Google Cloud Run Hackathon is this Wednesday, October 14, and submissions close at midnight PT tomorrow.

The mechanics, one more time:
- Deploy and run your product on Google Cloud Run that's what makes you eligible
- Schedule your launch for Wednesday, October 14
- Get it in before midnight PT tomorrow

Every eligible launch picks up $50 in Google Cloud credits. Winners take $500 in credits, a spotlight on Google Cloud's own channels, and a 1:1 with the Cloud Run team.

Every shortcut removes a bit of friction, and some of that friction was doing a job. I'd like to hear which parts of your workflow you handed over and which you took back.

When a tool makes something easy, you rarely notice what the difficulty used to give you. Writing a first draft by hand forced me to decide what I actually thought. Reading user feedback line by line made me notice phrasing that a summary flattens. Writing a spec from scratch was slow, and the slowness was where I found the holes.

I used to spend a lot of time exploring apps and websites when looking for design references. I'd also browse Pinterest or Mobbin to see how other products handled similar screens and interactions.

I still do that, but lately I've been wondering if there are better ways to find references.

I've tried asking LLMs to find examples based on what I'm working on. The results are usually relevant on the surface, but rarely quite what I'm looking for.

Sometimes I get the same familiar products, or examples that look similar but don't really solve the same problem.

This one is for you as users, not as founders.

When you find a new B2B tool, what do you want first? Book a demo with a real person or sign up and click around on your own?

We see both with k dlo. Some people sign up and start using it the same day. Others write to me first and want me to show them everything on a call.

Personally I almost always go self service. I only book a call when the product looks complex or expensive.

I ve seen founders spend an hour every Sunday planning their entire week, while others just wake up on Monday and start working.

I m curious which approach actually works better.

Do you plan your week on Sunday or Monday?

What do you think about support - or have you even thought about it? =D

Do you think every product must have some kind of support?

Should it be a bot?
A human?
Email?
An AI agent?
Or all together?

In our case, with a complex workspace, I think working support is definitely a must.

Nitrosend now has its own mail delivery engine, and today it's open source as NitroMTA: a self-hosted engine that speaks the Amazon SES v2 API, built in Rust. It's launching on Product Hunt today, and we'd love your feedback on the launch page: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

So I analyzed past month and 50% of TOP 3 products of the day are directly connected to AI agents (not even "just AI").
How crazy is the pace we are moving forward. Product Hunt is actually a pretty neat incubator and something we can see the trends within technologies and SaaS for almost the first time before it hits mainstream.

I wonder - when you work with AI agents - what is currently your biggest pain?
