Should the European Union control chat communication? [Chat Control Law]

Very quick summary:

The EU s proposed Chat Control Law would scan all private communications for child abuse material, but critics warn it undermines privacy, weakens encryption, risks mass surveillance, and could expand to policing political dissent.

First-time maker: 3 questions before our launch (expectations, anti-spam, audiences)

Hey PH!
I m Roy, one of the makers of Surf a research copilot for crypto folks. Super excited for our first launch.

I ve read a ton of guides but would love real advice from makers:


1. Expectations / forecasting

Do you usually have a sense of how many participants will show up on launch day or a rough range of upvotes/comments? Any rules of thumb you ve used (e.g., % of Teaser followers who visit, comment to upvote ratios, or targets you set for the first 4 hours)?

Your Product Hunt success starts (and ends) with your landing page.

On launch day, you only get one shot to capture attention. Your landing page is where curiosity turns into clicks and clicks into sign-ups. If it s unclear, slow, or uninspiring, even the best product will slip through the cracks.

A great landing page on Product Hunt should:

Grab attention with a crystal-clear value proposition in the first few seconds.

Show social proof or credibility to build trust fast.

Will Vibe Data Analysis be the Future? Let's Discuss!

Vibe coding seems to be a popular concept these days. Instead of writing all the codes by themselves, developers are turning to natural language prompts to simplify the programming process. It seems much more accessible, efficient, and beginner-friendly.

So what about data analysis? It still seems highly professional now, and the majority of people naturally think that they cannot do the data work but have to resort to analysts for help. But maybe with the advance of AI data analysts, everyone can get a customized tool for them to do 'Vibe Data Analysis'--have the data analyzed simply by asking questions to AI.

They just need to upload their dataset, however large it is, ask questions in plain language, and wait for the tool to process. The tool analyzes the data and responds with clear summaries, visualizations of all kinds of charts, and actionable insights, enabling users to make decisions based on solid evidence, without having to spend hours learning softwares, coding skills, or just waiting for an analyst to free up.

For data analysts, their work may become much more easier, as the tools can take over and automate much of the tedious work like data cleaning and calculatiion. They can focus on more creative and valuable aspects, like digging deeper into the data, interpreting the results, and delivering insights to their clients.

Is there a change in how Kitty Coins are calculated?

I've noticed that lately, the Kitty Coins on my account have been decreasing. Now, it doesn't really matter to me since I see them more as a vanity metric, but I was curious if the PH team has made any changes that could be causing this daily reduction in Kitty Coins.
