I don t mean this in a disrespectful way or anything like that, but throughout my life, I ve come across (and I m sure you have too) several products whose actual usefulness wasn t exactly impressive, but their creators still made a huge amount of money.
For me, for example, it was:
Fidget spinners (2017). At the peak, the global market was estimated at hundreds of millions to over $1 billion.
Metaverse land (2021) valuation could be for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars each, with the overall market reaching hundreds of millions during the peak hype cycle. I bought one too. :D (actually was scammed).
Pet Rock (1975) the creator became a millionaire within a few months.
I would love to know what you people are working on. Maybe I will find some excellent and exciting tools, SaaS, extensions, or productivity tools that I can share with my audience.

Let's help each other out, after you provide feedback to a maker about their product share your product link for feedback. BE SPECIFIC about who your target audience is and how we can help. This thread is for you if you are: (1) launching soon or recently launched (2) looking for beta users (3) asking for feedback on a landing page Happy making
A tagline is the first piece of content a user will see about your product on the leaderboard. It's so important that you get it right. You should be able to get a really solid idea of what your product is just by reading a handful of words.
In the spirit of forever optimising our taglines, I wanted to do a little experiment:
I love chrome extensions! They make some of my tasks super easy. I add/remove extensions regularly, but these are some of them which I can't remove for sure. - Grammarly: Extraordinary help while writing anything from emails to blogs.
- Dashlane: Can never remember my passwords.
- Pocket: Best way to not lose the articles I want to read later.
- Loom: Video version of "This meeting could've been an email". I love to quickly record screens and send it to my teammates.
- Wappalyzer: When I want to know the tech stack on which a website is built on.
- Honey: Of course! Which girl doesn't like good shopping deals. And while you re here, Check out our product Supademo.
A simple Chrome Extension helps you create interactive product demos in minutes. We have launched on Product hunt!! We would love to see your love and support. https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Lately, I ve been looking closely at how independent builders and small teams are managing AI knowledge bases. It feels like the default "industry standard" is to immediately reach for a complex RAG pipeline and a heavy, paid Vector Database.
But I'm starting to wonder if we are over-engineering this for 90% of standard use cases.
Vector DBs are incredibly powerful for massive scale, but for smaller or non-massive datasets, they can be expensive, complex to query, and act as complete black boxes. If a search returns a weird chunk, diagnosing it is often a nightmare.
