Where and how did you come up with the idea of your startup?

I am far from a shopaholic, but recently I realised that I spend too many hours on online shopping in order to buy ordinary casual clothes. So, I decided to create a smart shopping assistant which helps to buy branded clothes cheaply and save time.

I like to say that I didn't found my startup, my startup found me. I am my own consumer. I was looking to lead a more sustainable lifestyle and found how hard it was to find reliably sustainable products online. That's how askBelynda came to be. I launched on PH today, check it out! https://www.producthunt.com/post...

After hosting a podcast called The Idealists (https://theidealists.co), we realized how engaging audio is. We asked: Are companies creating podcasts internally to engage and connect their employees? Long story short: Yes, they do. But they mentioned how messy it is to share episodes with their employees. That's why we started building Pager (https://pager.fm), a private podcast platform for teams — making podcasting for work a piece of cake. 🎙

@serainasilja why do companies need podcasts?

@mironshe Hi, thanks for being curious! Podcasts bring a new spin to internal communications: hearing directly (and therefore in a more authentic way) from leadership, peers, and teammates… without sitting in front of a screen. Employees can listen whenever it suits them!

Any link to your shopping assistant?

@andre_dike we have launched an upcoming product and will officially show the product to the community in a couple of weeks https://www.producthunt.com/upco...

I made rate.house because there wasn't a platform where I can track and rate music, movies, TV, books, games, and podcasts all in one place. I made WordHoot because I liked Wordle but wanted to play it repeatedly and against friends. I made newsasfacts.com because I wanted to catch up with important world events in under a minute from trustworthy sources. Essentially, they're all conceived from the question "does this thing I want exist?" and the answer being no.

As a startup, we use Macbook + speakerphone + type-C usb hub for meetings (Zoom, teams) every day. And sometimes we work from home with these devices too. So we wanted to build one integrated device for Macbook. That's HiDock: https://www.producthunt.com/upco...

@seansong rocket science, I love this, good luck with launching!

@mironshe thanks Di, we are on the way.

I guess it's the easiest to work in an area where you're facing and understanding the problem yourself. So I came up with a tool to generate code for Spring Boot developers.

I wish I had a better answer, but mine came up from a need to monetize my skills + my need to manage ADHD. (҂◡̀_◡́)ᕤ

Was trying to solve my problem of not having an excellent and vast social media presence, which was hindering my growth efforts significantly.
Di
@gmrlbiz I'm sorry, but to be honest I didn't understand anything. What problem does your product solve?
DJJD
@mironshe the problem of having small or non-existing social media presence, which is extremely common for brands/creatives.

When I work late in the company, when I want to be free from the heavy data, I naturally have new ideas.
Di
@bgsubcassandra what do you do next with your ideas?
Cassandra
@mironshe I spend most of my time at work changing backgrounds for images, so I created a website to help me automate the work. It is now being tested before release and I think it will be a successful product
