Up front, I build and run affiliate sites for other people as a paid service, so a click count is something I hand to someone else, and I am not neutral about it being right.

We log every outbound click ourselves instead of reading the network report back, one row per click carrying product, address, signature and time. That decision is what made the rest visible. On one UK tag the report handed me a count of 1,375 and nothing underneath it.

The more information and ads we re exposed to, the more resistant we become.

(It s literally impossible to absorb everything, so our brains just filter most of it out.)

BUT there s always that one exception.

Real question. Do you search X and Reddit by hand, run alerts, pay for a tool, or just wait for someone to DM you a screenshot? Curious what actually works, especially for TikTok and Threads where I never catch anything in time.

First post here. I've been browsing Product Hunt for a while without an account and finally made one.

I have a problem I suspect some of you share. I keep finding tools, signing up, and then never really using them. Not because they're bad, but because trying something new feels like progress, and then the actual using part never happens. My bookmarks and saved posts are full of things I was definitely going to start using. I opened maybe three of them again.

Meanwhile the tools I actually rely on are a short list I barely think about. Everything else is just sitting there, and I keep adding to it.

I know the obvious answer is to stop browsing and just use what I have, but that's easier said than done when the next interesting thing is one scroll away.

Hey all!

Quick question for founders and indie hackers: what's slowing you down when you're actually building something new?

When was the last time you built a feature because one user expressed a strong frustration?

It happens easily. A detailed complaint feels urgent, the solution seems obvious, and suddenly the feature is on the roadmap.

But a user asking for something does not always mean they would use it, pay for it, or even notice when it ships.

Before adding a feature to the roadmap, I find these five questions useful:

Finding interested people is one thing. Finding users who have the exact problem, will try an early product, and give useful feedback is much harder.

Where should a developer actually look for those first 100 real users via product hunt?

I have been building, learning, searching, investing for the last 6 years, back to back, non-stop. I feel I have officially reached burnout. One week I am super into building and I code new things like crazy. And the next I just want to chill and go surfing lol. Do you go through a similar phase? How do you deal with the constant change of emotions?

A few weeks ago, @Veo emerged.

A few days ago, I tried @Higgsfield. The output is here.

Yesterday, Chris hunted @Midjourney Midjourney V1 Video Model.

And today I read that @Perplexity has a video generation available on Ask Perplexity!
