Hey PH community

Exciting update we've just shipped v1.5.0 and it's our biggest release yet!

Gemini Export Studio has officially evolved into Gemini Studio App a complete AI chat workspace, not just an exporter.

I am a Computer Science student doing research into how solopreneurs and small startups create new apps and what their stack looks like. Particularly, I'm interested in how you handle things like authentication, billing, and permissions/authorization in your apps.

Let me know what you're working on below and how you're going about it -- I'd love to connect for some quick calls to learn about your product and talk about your process in building it!

TL;DR: Anthropic refused to sign a contract with the Pentagon that would have allowed the U.S. military to use all of its models without restrictions. Anthropic insisted on an exception, and brace yourself, that its models cannot be used: 1) for mass surveillance of citizens, 2) for autonomous killing. Now the administration is threatening that if the founder of Anthropic doesn't change his mind by a certain date, they will come after him.

Google, OpenAI, and Musk (Grok) have all signed the contract.

Following Sam Altman's announcement over the past few hours, people have been speaking out massively about cancelling their OpenAI subscriptions and subscribing to Claude.

If you made it to the Pitch by Deel Paris finals, you ve got a special Product Hunt launch day waiting for you.

We ve partnered with Deel to give finalists a dedicated chance to launch, get discovered, and show the community what they ve built.

If that s you, submit your launch by Sunday at midnight PST and make sure to add the tag pitch-paris.

We launched Velo on Product Hunt this morning without expecting anything.

I thought we'd spend the day refreshing the upvote counter. Instead, I got hooked on reading every comment, watching sign-ups roll in, and seeing users create their first Velo in real time.

As of April 4th, Claude subscriptions no longer cover usage on third-party tools like @OpenClaw.

Everyone tells you to ship fast. Move fast and break things. Get to market before someone else does.

I believed this for a long time. When we were building Murror, speed was everything. We pushed features weekly, sometimes daily. We celebrated every deploy like a small victory.

We just shipped v1.10.0, and this one is all about making prompt iteration feel a lot less painful.

You write a solid prompt but then only specific parts need changing.

Before rewrite the whole thing
Now just tweak the actual part that matters.

The meeting paradox

The async revolution was supposed to kill meetings, but it did the opposite. Since 2020, weekly meetings have increased 153%, despite every company adopting Loom, Slack, Notion, and a dozen other async tools. The tools multiplied, the meetings stayed. Something structural is broken.

Hey all,

One of the most important and challenging experiences you ll have as a founder is fundraising.

I was on a call with a founder and they asked me to turn on my camera on Google Meet.

I said no citing that they have brought in the call recorder without my consent. I consent for voice recording and summarizing, not video capture.

I've noticed a trend where CEOs of well-known companies are investing more in their personal brands on LinkedIn and X.

However, the level is increasing, and they want something similar from employees.

I'll go first.

Someone told me: "Just be consistent. Post every day. The algorithm rewards consistency."

So I did.

For six months, I posted every single day. Sometimes at 7am. Sometimes at 10pm. Weekends included. I wrote about our product, our features, our roadmap. I followed all the "best practices" hook in the first line, three takeaways, call to action at the end.

I built Prodshort because I understood after my previous companies that the hard thing is not to Build but to Sell.
But because I'm a builder, not a seller. I decided to build something that Sells for me.
And Because the trend is Founder Led Marketing, I decided to build something that Create content on your behalf.
But there was a lot of AI tools out there. So I decided to go the opposite way, make it the most authentic possible.
I want you to create content when you are not even aware of it.
And honestly it worked for me. Many people tell me it's amazing but to keep it honest, NO ONE PAYED, and that's the only KPI I'm looking at.
For now, I have feedback about the landing page being too AI generated, and doesn't reflect the quality of our product.
And Builder socially scared from sharing there first content.

Hi Product Hunt!

I'm Mark, solo dev and co-founder of Moss Piglet a privacy-first public benefit company.

Habit tracking is personal. Your goals, your struggles, your progress that's some of the most intimate data you can generate about yourself. So why does every habit tracker out there store it in plaintext on their servers?

Metamorphic is a zero-knowledge encrypted habit tracker. Your data is encrypted in your browser before it ever leaves your device. The server never sees your habits, your goals, or your progress. Not even we can read it.

I don t mean this in a disrespectful way or anything like that, but throughout my life, I ve come across (and I m sure you have too) several products whose actual usefulness wasn t exactly impressive, but their creators still made a huge amount of money.

For me, for example, it was:

• Fidget spinners (2017). At the peak, the global market was estimated at hundreds of millions to over $1 billion.

• Metaverse land (2021) valuation could be for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars each, with the overall market reaching hundreds of millions during the peak hype cycle. I bought one too. :D (actually was scammed).

• Pet Rock (1975) the creator became a millionaire within a few months.

Quick one. I've been building software for over 20 years, and I've never done a seasonal discount before. But we just passed 40 free users, and I wanted to give people a reason to jump in this weekend.

The offer:

- Monthly plan locked in at $10/month (normally $29/month)

- That's 66% off, and the rate stays for as long as your subscription is active

Six months ago, we ran an experiment with our own data.

At Rankfender, we tracked 5 of our own competitors across 8 AI systems. We log their share of voice, citation velocity, content gaps, platform variance. Months of raw numbers sitting in a dashboard.

I pulled 6 months of data and fed it into Claude. One question: "Based on this, who is most likely to overtake us in the next 6 months? Show your work. Use the data. Don't summarize. Give me the numbers."

The answer changed how I think about competition.

Hello Product Hunt! We are thinking of spinning up topic specific, weekly digest newsletters that break up the firehose of goodness that is the Product Hunt leaderboard. What topics would you subscribe to? Who would you like to see sponsor these newsletters?

Here is an early prototype of what an AI Agent Digest newsletter might look like: https://gist.github.com/kerzhner...

Last month, I did something that felt slightly insane.

I took our product description, fed it into ChatGPT, and asked it to build a competitor. Not a parody. A real competitor. Better features, better positioning, better everything. I told it to be ruthless.

It did!

The output was polished. Confident. Structured like a real go-to-market plan. It named features we don t have. It positioned itself against us. It looked like a threat on paper.

Supabase just hit 100,000 GitHub Stars. They also announced 8,000,000 developers building with Supabase.

We recently launched a free chart generator (CSV/Excel charts) alongside our main product not as part of our free tier, but as a completely no-signup tool.

The goal is to let people experience the value immediately that aha moment of turning raw data into a clean chart before asking for anything.

What it is: ClarifierAI is an iOS keyboard extension that improves your writing with AI directly where you type no switching apps, no copy-pasting.

How it works: You type normally, tap the Clarify button, and AI rewrites/fixes/translates your text inline. Changed words are highlighted so you can tap to revert individual edits you don't like.

If you're on a GLP-1 (Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, etc) and figuring out what food to buy/eat is absolutely confusing, we'd love to have you as a beta user on our new app.
If you're not on a GLP-1, but you have a health goal (ie: eat more protein, more fiber, less sugar, etc) we'd love you as beta users, too!
Drop a comment if you want to be added to the Testflight beta group. Beta testers who submit feedback get free access to the app for an entire year :)
