Our ultra-fast Daily: Three takes on new products. Yesterday’s top ten launches. That’s it.
For your next move... or suntan... or photoshoot
Product ideas are often sparked as a result of friction in a specific use case, but sometimes the result is endless possibilities.
That seems to be the case with Shadowmap. Maker Georg Molzer launched the product today, which is an interactive 3D maps app for visualizing solar shadows. He explains that the idea came to him on a dark and cold winter day in Vienna where tall buildings and low sun give rise to seasonal depression.
Molzer set out to make shadow data available for everyone, which he explained came with challenges.
You can give Shadowmap a go for free (there’s a pro account for SaaS professionals) and let Molzer know how you’re thinking of using it.

Molzer set out to make shadow data available for everyone, which he explained came with challenges.
“Creating a web application that is on the one hand capable of processing large amounts of data while on the other hand performing real-time 3D visualization brought some obstacles... I wanted Shadowmap to be intuitive and familiar to use.”
The challenge paid off with positive feedback and people sharing their use cases like apartment hunting, solar planning, design, tourism, and photography. The Product Hunt community has started contributing their own:“Many Chinese believe in "Feng sui", also known as Chinese geomancy. This tool could be helpful to find a dream home that matches good feng sui 😅” - Ken Moo
“Great product @molzer I see a great use case for Vastu compliance in India.” - Girdharee Saran
“Really great app and very handy, especially when you are a filmmaker as I am.” - Lucas Riklin
“As I work with Wine Imports the use-case for weather-sensitive products such as Rosé are clear.” Andreas Bøggild

500 more years for humanity
The meme says it all.
“CAPTCHA,” which stands for “completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart,” was coined by a group of computer scientists at Carnegie Melon University originally to help Yahoo! keep bots out of its chat rooms. One of those computer scientists, Luis von Ahn, went on to start reCAPTCHA (and later Duolingo) which was acquired by Google in 2009.
As essential as CAPTCHAs have become, memes and complaints are all over the internet. There are news articles about difficulty snagging newly-released concert tickets and CAPTCHAs altogether not working on websites for vaccination bookings. There’s also Reddit groups like /r/captcha and /r/CaptchaArt. And of course, the memes. Although Google explains that with its CAPTCHAs, the company is using all of our frustrating experiences to train its AI and improve its products, sometimes people just don’t have the time to spend.
Other than memes, we’ve seen makers respond in a couple of different ways. The first is to bring us joy — like this DOOM Captcha that was launched over the weekend. Just kill four enemies and you’re cleared. Maker, Miquel Camps Orteza, made it clear this is just for fun.
"Don't take this too seriously this is a little project for fun, if do you know how to code it's pretty easy to break the security of this."
Orteza also released Squat Captcha last year, which uses a webcam and desktop environment to force someone to do squats before continuing their online transactions.
On the more serious side, the team at Cloudflare has made it their goal to get rid of CAPTCHAs completely. The company uses back-of-the-envelope math to calculate that humanity wastes about 500 years per day on CAPTCHAs, starting with the average 32 seconds it takes a user to complete a CAPTCHA challenge.
Cloudflare has put together a new way to prove you’re a human through what it calls “Cryptographic Attestation of Personhood.” It involves touching or looking at a device, supported through USB security keys like Yubikeys.
This is only an experiment right now so you won’t see it in many places beyond the Cloudflare website, and there are potential pitfalls. For example, Ackermann Yuriy of Webauthn Works told VentureBeat that this method could be gamed by using something as simple as a drinking bird toy to touch the security sensor — which is not a human.
Still, the idea offers an alternative solution, and one that has benefits for those with visual disabilities. For now, you can get nostalgic and...

"This is my last attempt"
It gets cold out there in your inbox.
Yesterday a team of indie makers launched Warmbox, an inbox warming tool to prevent your emails from landing in the spam folder. According to Warmbox, that’s where 51% of emails go every day.
Warmbox works by automatically sending emails from your inbox and interacting with them, as engaged leads would do, in order to generate perfect inbox activity to increase your email deliverability. There is plenty of competition in inbox warming and email deliverability. According to maker Arthur Peter, this is how Warmbox's plug&play SaaS is different:
“Warmbox warm-up is based on a +10,000 private inbox network, from different email service providers, from +100 countries, aged from 2 weeks to few years and using different sending IPs, with a mix of different ESPs…”
Peter goes on to explain that many competitors use a peer-to-peer warmup model which may create some risks with privacy and hurt deliverability due to interaction with spammers.
Of course, a warm inbox is just the beginning. We took a look down the sales cycle and surfaced 9 more new tools to help you close.
Cold Email Templates - 150 “battle-tested” templates for marketing and sales
Cooby Insights for WhatsApp - Analytical report for insights on your WhatsApp chat threads
WhatsApp Actions for Hubspot - Send WhatsApp messages from Hubspot workflows
Walnut 1.0 - Tailor your demos for different use cases; track and gather insights
Navattic - An alternative to Walnut for building, sending, and tracking shareable demos

Project management for X
This newsletter was crafted by us and sponsored by our friends at monday.com.
Artists love to sing about white blank pages full of possibility. For riding off into the sunset or starting a relationship, they're cool. When you’re starting a new project, “overwhelmed” may actually be the dominant feeling.
The makers at monday.com picked up on that. One of the key goals of their latest Work OS management platform is to provide premade solutions that are tailored to support your team and project needs. You can start from scratch, or create your ideal workflow. To start the makers produced 200+ templates based on how real teams manage their projects.
Beyond templates, monday.com’s been expanding its Apps Marketplace, giving thought to the tools specific teams need to power their projects. Marketers may look to connect LinkedIn, Eventbrite, or Jotform, Devs can integrate with Github or Jira, and Sales will probably head straight for Salesforce and Slack.
By using integrations and automations, teams can create a centralized hub for all their activity, and combine data and information with new features that drive productivity including:
Dead set on leaning into specific spaces for teams, the makers at monday.com also introduced Workspaces to allow teams to create segregation within your company’s account. That means that teams can focus on their workflows without the clutter and distraction, but still retain connection to other departments where it counts.
Some of the Product Hunt community chimed in during the monday.com 2.0 launch to share their experiences:
“We had hundreds, no, thousands of parts to the project that needed taking care of over the past few months, and monday.com made keeping track of them super-easy. Excited to see the platform evolving!” - Nick Smith
“I've spent some time on Airtable and others, and found monday.com to be more intuitive” - Michael Cipriano
monday.com offers a free trial so if you’re the type that gets excited by making test Gantt charts and watching your automations populate (kindred souls), you can give it a go by clicking below.

Google’s answer to Notion
Less than a week ago Notion rolled out its API into a public beta and a few days after that, the Notion integrations started rolling in including G-Suite related products like Gmail to Notion.
Google’s not planning to play second fiddle though. Yesterday was its annual Google I/O developer conference. One of the biggest announcements was Smart Canvas which is not a new product but a host of updates that make its Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides more collaborative.
Smart chips (i.e. @mentions) now work for documents too instead of just people. Combine that with pageless docs, emojis, connected checklists, and table templates and you’ve got a collaborative workspace that jumps back into the future alongside competitors.
Not content with taking on just Notion, Google Sheets is getting a timeline view and teams can now edit content from a Google Chat room, which combined with other tools gives it some lite project management potential. There’s also now a quick way to present your docs directly to Meet, and in the fall Google will add Meet directly into Docs, Sheets, and Slides so you can meet and collaborate side-by-side.
Google had told us they were working on updates to Google Meet last month which included standard Zoom features like background replacements, improved pinning (and multi-pinning), streamlined controls, and higher quality meetings. They’ll soon be adding live captions and translations too. That may cause concerns for Otter.ai.
Smart Canvas wasn’t the only buzzy news of I/O. Google announced that Android has surpassed the milestone of 3 billion devices. Those users can try out the beta of Android 12 today which Google itself says is “the biggest design change in Android's history.”
Google has unified Android software and hardware ecosystems under a single design language which it’s calling Material You (a progression of its Material Design system introduced in 2014). The updates are heavy on personalization which has been a priority for Android from the start. Users can customize the color palette and adjust things like size and line width. Designs will follow you across the entire OS and not just on your phone but to Chrome OS, wearables, and other Google products.
Not last and not least, Google introduced LaMDA, a new natural language processing technique that makes AI conversations more natural-feeling by better responding to unusual or unexpected queries — i.e. if you’re talking about planets and you change the topic, it won’t be thrown for a loop. This could mean better interactions for your toddler and AI in the future.
For today, you can get started with those smart-er chips and checklists in Google Docs or let us know what you think of the updates.

One community tool to rule them all
You can find a community for almost anything, almost anywhere these days. As new tech launches and grows it enables new connections, but the variety of apps, features, and UIs has also led to fragmentation. Makers have taken notice.
Yesterday a community platform called Geneva launched itself to #1 Product of the Day. Geneva pulls together real-time chat, forum-style posts, audio, video, and live broadcasts into a single tool — many of the features that communities love and use regularly to connect with each other.
It’s hard to compress the use cases of Geneva into a short list (running clubs to retail teams, for example) but Li Jin, VC investor and tech thought leader, explained the implications of a platform designed explicitly to foster community.
“In a larger sense, Geneva is a new kind of digital infrastructure — the foundation upon which a new breed of cloud-native groups, clubs, communities, and even cities will be built over the coming decades.”
Geneva has been in a public beta and early adopters gave us a glimpse into favorite uses and benefits.
“I use Geneva for so many different things. My favorite home is for my fantasy basketball league, it has all the features that we could possibly need.” - Jason Fiedler
“It's like a friendly discord, or a less work-oriented slack.” - Emmett Shine
Geneva does have competition. You might recall that another product in this space launched a week ago and also received a warm reply from the Product Hunt community. Garnet is a tool centered around community and enables users to build their own custom video, audio, and text chat rooms while picking and choosing what features they want. Maker Carlos Diaz-Padrone explained:
“The idea is to be able to fit to the needs of any community online. Most [communities] are currently forcing Slack or Discord plus 5 other apps into this purpose. But that comes with a lot of friction because they weren’t really designed to be multi-purpose community tools.”
There are also a few older players in the game as well. One commenter noted they use Mighty Networks to build and manage their community. Mighty Network, and tools like it, are largely used to enable creators and brands to offer experiences to their communities. It's only a matter of time before we see stories about how creators and brands are leveraging tools like Garnet and Geneva for their businesses functions too.

10 better ways to learn
Over the last year, we wrote here and there about growth in EdTech investment as social distancing made space for new forms of learning. Lately, the stock market has brought some people to question if EdTech has run its course.
TechCrunch reported on recent declines in notable edtech company stock. For example, Coursera has shed about half of its value after its IPO in March and is now trading close to its IPO price. Meanwhile in the private market TechCrunch estimated, based on Crunchbase data, that we should expect around $5.1 billion in venture capital investment in this space this year — up from $2.06 billion last year.
In the Product Hunt community, we continue to see tech-driven concepts add more value to EdTech and LearnTech. In the same way that remote work and telehealth seem poised to remain more popular than ever, it seems likely that this space will continue its growth, driven by science-backed concepts and machine learning instead of school closures.
Here are ten innovative products we’ve seen launch in this space in last three months.
Traverse - An app using science-backed methods for learning and applying new skills and concepts
WarmMachine - A website that maps domain concepts in machine learning to help self-learners plan their learning path
Harken - Flashcard app that uses spaced repetition to help you learn
ASH - Inspired by the Pokedex, an AI pocket field guide for kids to discover nature
Jax – A chatbot that teaches you JavaScript and React with chats, flashcards, and quizzes
Alpe Audio - Audio courses designed with to help you learn while on the go
Ace ASL - App using AI to practice and learn American Sign Language
Sutle - A platform for saving and organizing online resources into a directed path
TeenUp - A learning platform for teens by teens to help them learn from their peers
Pressto - A website that teaches kids media literacy and writing skills while building a newspaper

RIP ads… wait, nm
Ads are back in full force and not everyone was expecting it.
“The venture capital world spent a decade betting against advertising, and it’s about to blow up in their faces,” Bryan Goldberg, CEO of Bustle, told the NY Times.
He was referring to how subscriptions have become the darling model of many industries — then 2020 happened. While people were stuck at home, online shopping climbed and hasn’t stopped since in a “post-pandemic Roaring Twenties economy.” Digital ad dollars are pouring in.
A report by Agency Group M showed digital media grew by more than 7% in 2020, projecting 22% growth in 2021. Google and Facebook make up about 87% of the growth according to the NY Times and Interactive Advertising Bureau.
This all could change now that Apple has rolled out its iOS update requiring your permission to track your online activity (Facebook is not happy). Nonetheless, since digital ads are here to stay, now’s a good time to see what makers launched to improve your advertising.
Audience Targeting
ExactBuyer: If your lookalike audiences aren't looking at your ads, they might be worth another look. This new API and data-enrichment tool was built by data scientists to improve your audience targeting with just-in-time updates.
Repixel 2.0: Let’s say you sell tennis balls — targeting a company that sells rackets sounds about right. This tool was built to help you share pixels and find partners in your niche.
Setup
Analyzify: If you have a Shopify store, Analyzify can help you set up Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, Facebook Pixels, and Universal Analytics Enhanced Ecommerce without any coding expertise.
Management
ADYOUNEED: This new tool aims to simplify your ad process by giving you one place to create, manage, and optimize your ads across platforms.
We think you've heard this one before, but just in case: there are also a whole host of GPT-3 tools to help you with your ad copy.

Tech Twitter loves this site builder
Say what you want about MySpace — those pages had personality. Over the last decade, websites have become more streamlined and neat.
Now one maker has created a website builder that better enables people to unleash their creativity, but with an easy, no-code tool.
“There seems to be fewer and fewer personal websites — many of which now look increasingly similar — and, yet, more people than ever have some Graphic Design Lite experience (a la Snapchat & Instagram)” - XH
XH launched mmm.page on Product Hunt today and is receiving an incredible response from Tech Twitter.
mmm.page makes it easy to create collage-like websites (overlapping text, images, GIFs, YouTube videos) on desktop and mobile. The drag & drop builder and automatically responsive pages makes it “dead simple” to build a fun, functional site in no time. Over the last 24 hours, XH has re-tweeted a wave of personal websites created by early adopters.
Of course, the Product Hunt community is digging the freedom too.
“mmm.page makes web development more like scrapbooking, and it's a lot of fun! We can ignore all the technicalities of building a website and just get creative.” - Sreeram Venkitesh
To quote one Twitter user, @viktoriaa, “today is a great day to abandon your actual responsibilities and spend a stupid amount of time on redesigning your personal website.”
Don’t forget to add your voice on the launch page as well and let HK know what you want to see next.

A tech-agnostic health community
Who else gets excited when they find out a friend just got the same wearable as you? Seeing someone you know get active can be exactly the motivator you need.
The Cabana Health app launched this week, syncing people in team-based communities regardless of the tech they use. Users can find, create, and join “cabanas” that centralize the wellness activity you’re already tracking in your other apps. Maker MacBrennan said:
“People accomplish more together, and now there's finally a place where you can escape the verticals every health app & wearable traps you in through a tech-agnostic social health interface :)”
The Product Hunt community was overwhelmingly optimistic about Cabana’s concept and mission.
“Love this idea, the health and well-being space is super interesting now that we're in a remote-first world (many of us at least)!” Kenneth Cassel
As Kenneth points out, health tech has seen a major boost over the last year, though much of the attention has been given to hardware and telehealth. On the former topic, Peloton’s and Tonal’s growth are regular conversation topics, but wearables are getting a boost too based on the recent $100M fundraise by Oura ring.
On the latter, telehealth is going through a watershed moment. Crunchbase reported that telehealth funding is supercharged at every stage across a wide variety of startups. When EverlyWell launched on Product Hunt four years ago, some struggled to see the value in at-home testing kits.
