I've always been curious about emerging behaviors and nascent trends. That's one of the inspirations for starting Product Hunt.
What niche topic are you obsessed about right now and why?

I build a life management system for every day to help people take back control of their life and well-being.
It all started with a personal productivity framework that I perfected for years solving my own need—just due to the fact that no existing tool or service offers a proper productivity suite for personal use.
Nowadays, life is too fast. It takes significant efforts to handle the load. And working from home with kids running around doesn’t make things better—it leads to decreased overall physical and mental well-being. Many people have given up planning and just go with the flow, not even trying to live a better, more fulfilled, and healthier life.
A new survey finds the average adult loses a staggering 26 days per year to "wasted time". That is enough time to master a new skill! The same survey shows that 56% of adults are aware they need to practice better time management.
The problem is existing personal productivity tools do not help. They are outdated and limited to just two narrow niches: calendars and to-dos. The problem is especially pronounced when we talk about organizing family life or group activities with friends.
I build a completely new paradigm in personal productivity—nothing like people used before—and create a new "life management" sector that didn't exist before.
I'm interested in the QUIC protocol released last year and the new protocols built on top of it (like HTTP/3 and WebTransport).
As developers know, the TCP-based world has been around for a long time. But when it was invented, we didn't have 5G and fiber optic networks yet.
So I started build framework called YoMo (https://github.com/yomorun/yomo) for developers who wanna introduce new technologies to their next cool apps.
Beside that, I built free tools like:
- https://webtransport.day , a free & public WebTransport echo service, seems the first one on the earth 🌎
- https://geoping.gg , a free online tool to inspecting the detail of network latency from end user anywhere
Real time collaboration, how it helps people from anywhere to build low latency applications, I am very obsessed 🥷🏻

I am working on a native macOS app named Planet to let users publish their websites to IPFS + ENS. Every critical step in publishing and following content updates in the app is not controlled by a single corporation.
The content is on a P2P network: IPFS.
The domain is on a P2P network, too: ENS on Ethereum.
Thus it is a local-first, fully decentralized model.
Here is the blog of the app, built with Planet:

Last year, when I was starting this project, I wrote down the idea here:
https://pitch.com/presentations/...
We see a big trend of remote workers watching summaries of meetings later, rather than attending meetings live, and saving 1-2 hours a day.
Our video conferencing and meeting tool makes that easy, supporting sync and async meetings, with automatically generated summaries 10% of the meeting duration. AI measures everyone's engagement in real-time (body-language, gestures, emotions, spoken words, app activity etc.) and highlights the moments that participants were most engaged. Replay, highlights, transcript, notes, action items are all stored in the cloud default private, searchable and shareable - making meeting information useful.
If you want to choose which meetings you attend live, and which you flip around to work for you, check it out https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

I am excited at the future of PropTech where the buildings—homes and offices and commercial property are designed for data-informed people—people as individuals and as communities. A lot of work is happening in Europe in this category—I guess *synthesis* is the foundation for civic design and proptech.

Recommender Systems, counteracting bias and making them generally more fair but specifically how they will evolve with the acceleration of web3 and the creator economy.

Obsessing about Personal security lately and thinking that the vast majority of internet users don't know even the basics of protecting themselves online. Technology came so far ahead in how many things you can do with a few clicks, but people still don't understand basic things like a fake/spam email.

That would have to be solving the scandal of how songwriters are paid by the music business - trust me slavery is alive and well in the music business
@pksaunders I am super interested to know as this is an industry where not many people know how it works and how the money is distributed.

I'm obsessed with translating inspirational, fluffy talk into actionable steps. Kind of like if Shia Labeouf wrote TL;DR book summaries.
There's so much information available to us now. The problem isn't gathering enough knowledge or wisdom, it's how you apply it.

There’s a need for new, modern tools. And probably a chance to grow the market by 100x.
