🌙 What did you actually do the day before your launch?

I launch something tomorrow. The page is done, the list is done, and I still keep finding reasons to open it again.
I'm starting to think the last day isn't for work at all, because everything that mattered was decided a week ago.
So what did you actually do the day before yours? Sleep, keep tweaking, write replies in advance? And looking back, did any of it change how the day went?

Anyone else feel burned out by heavy Task Managers?

I used to move everything through Trello columns daily.

It worked for a while, but over time, the setup became cluttered. Managing the boards took more energy than completing the items on them.

I ended up switching to a much lighter, minimal checklist setup that just stays out of my way.

what did you replace it with? Did a simpler app work better, or did you drop task management tools entirely?

Will teachers' jobs disappear because of AI?

A few days ago, I listened to a Czech video cast where the idea was that in a few years, the teaching position will lose its relevance.

This seems like a quite realistic prognosis to me, because:

  • The teaching position is not particularly valued,

  • AI knows more information than a teacher,

  • AI does not sharply confront the user, which encourages people to ask questions and think critically (this can sometimes not be said about the school system)

  • More and more young people prefer to communicate with Chatgpt than with an "educational authority"

What would you do differently if you launched on Product Hunt again?

After launch day, something interesting happens. You start seeing clearly all the things you should have done before it.

The most common regrets I hear:

Where do you learn about new AI tools and workflows?

New products and better ways to work show up every week.

99% of new tools I found out on Product Hunt. I get around 95% of my AI news and ideas from Twitter.

The other 5% comes from YouTube tutorials.

Over 900 new PH launches today?!

Is this normal? I'll be honest I rarely scroll down and click 'show-all' before today. That's a mind-blowing amount of work and dedication that likely won't get much spotlight in the heat of competition.
Do you have any tips for finding the diamonds? Is there anything we can do in the community-sense to ensure good products get seen?
It's suddenly feeling rather intimidating to launch a new product.

Would you ship code you don't fully understand?

I rebuilt our entire marketing site with AI doing most of the coding, and there are chunks of it I've honestly never read line by line.

For a marketing site, whatever. Worst case a page breaks and I regenerate it.

Is it normal for devs to have projects piled up before a successful one?

In my case, I had 2-3 projects lined up which are not active at all. I stopped working with those web applications as it didn't seem reasonable to. There are 2 of them active on web but not seen by me.

I have also seen that founders tend to have a lot of projects they have abandoned. Some of the founders even told that there projects failed and it is well above 5 projects.

Is "AI visibility" just off-site reputation with a new name?

I keep digging into what actually gets a product mentioned in ChatGPT or Perplexity answers, and the data keeps pointing somewhere that makes me question the whole "GEO/AEO" hype.

Ahrefs looked at 75k brands and found branded mentions correlated with AI visibility way more than backlinks 0.664 vs 0.218. It's correlation, not causation, so take it with salt. But the gap is big enough that I can't ignore it.

Which makes me wonder if we're overcomplicating this. Maybe AI visibility isn't a new discipline at all. Maybe it's just the old thing: be genuinely talked about in the right specific places.

What “AI mode” are you in when you build?

Hey everyone

I ve been continuing to explore the question:

How do we use AI without outsourcing our thinking?
