When does a web app need a mobile-first experience?

I ve been thinking about this while working with an interview-practice platform that already runs as a web application.

The core experience works well on desktop, but the way people use the product on mobile is quite different.
Interview practice can involve voice interaction, microphone access, short practice sessions, progress tracking, and returning to the platform regularly.

That makes me wonder -
whether simply making the website responsive is enough for this kind of product.

At what point does it make sense to give users a dedicated mobile experience rather than continuing to optimize the browser version?

Time to boast your keyboard shortcuts knowledge ⌨

Knowing keyboard shortcuts is literally a super-power. I have been trying to avoid the mousepad and use shortcuts wherever possible.

Which technological change in 2025 brought the biggest outcome to your business?

I think the biggest AI boom was in 2023-2024, but only now have I noticed improvements that have positively helped many businesses.

If I had to name three things that have had a very positive impact on business, they are:

  • Improved image creation using GPT Chat

  • Realistic videos through AI, where costs are reduced by hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars (production video agency vs. a few custom prompts)

  • "vibe coding" tools that show me a visual and I can reverse query and learn why the code is written in such a way that I got a certain result.

How do you get early users to give feedback?

Hey Product Hunt,

I just launched the closed beta of CoLaunchly for waitlisted users. It s a marketing co-pilot for indie devs that creates personalized launch plans, content templates, and channel strategies based on your app and target audience.

Now that it s out in the wild, I m realizing how hard it is to actually get feedback from early users. Even the ones who signed up seem quiet.

Will you use the "hide likes" features on Facebook and Instagram?

Facebook finally moved on hiding likes but it's an opt-in feature rather than complete removal. On Instagram there's a per post option. Do you intend to hide your likes or hide your likes? Why or why not? What do you think of the update being "opt-in"?

What building a real product taught me about ownership

Building Tresra has been one of the most challenging and educational projects I ve worked on so far.

I m leading the overall project and team while handling the backend and mobile application, alongside my backend development partner @riya_jangid1 .

One thing this experience made very clear to me is that building a real product is very different from simply building features.

Would you trust a fitness app more if it showed less data?

I keep noticing the same problem in fitness apps.

The more advanced they try to look, the more numbers they put on the screen.

Scores, percentages, charts, readiness, recovery, fatigue.

At some point I stop knowing what I m actually supposed to do.

Is it just me or are simple Web apps getting way too Noisy?

I opened a tool earlier just to copy a snippet of text.

Before I could even highlight the text an assistant widget popped up a top banner reminded me about a webinar and a tool tip tried to tour me through what's new.

The interface itself was very clean and polished. But the constant interruptions made it painful to use.

Why are simple tasks getting harder on modern sites?

I spent ten minutes trying to update my notification settings on a forum this morning.

I ended up closing three popups, bouncing through two different preference pages, and almost changing my password by mistake.

The site looks gorgeous. Very modern, very sleek.
