Ten years ago, if a Facebook post didn t receive enough reactions, I would delete it immediately.
Yep, 18-year-old Nika was terrified that people would notice her failure. Reality check: when a post flops, almost nobody sees it anyway. The only person who actually suffers from the low engagement is the original poster.
All of you who are building a personal brand, I guess, keeping up with the onslaught of notifications is not the easiest thing to do. I personally open some notifications after a month (like today on Bluesky, Substack and Twitter), not to mention that I reply to some messages after months. It helps me keep my sanity. But it took me almost 4 hours to handle these today.
On the other hand, I manage ProductHunt and LinkedIn quite regularly.
There are countless products and services out there, and I ll admit I sign up for more than I probably should. But I usually stop using them for a few common reasons:
It doesn t actually fit my needs
The company feels unreliable or opaque
The value doesn t justify the cost
After spending my career in enterprise software, I ve noticed that many of these issues aren t just product problems, they re relationship problems.
When companies show a bit of intention, clarity, and care, trust goes up. When they don t, everything feels disposable, even good tools.
I control every 1 hr of my day to maximize productivity. Wake up at 5:30, meditate, work, learn programming, work some more, write a novel, and run a family with 1 kid coming. You could say I'm hyper productive, but I know many of you have a lot more on your plate. As founders and makers, what do you do to make sure your sanity is kept in check?
I'm Aaron and for the last few years I've been writing the Product Hunt newsletters. That includes: our daily, weekly, developer tools, and AI tools ones. Every morning I look through the homepage to try and find the coolest products to write about and I want to share with you all what I look in a launch so you can increase your chances of getting featured!
To work more efficiently and productively, we usually create some familiar patterns (habits) that shorten our time doing tasks (saving time and energy). This is also indirectly related to tools that make the work process easier.
What does your workday look like + tech tools without which you would not be productive?
Hey all! Just looking for some great advice from the talented peeps out here on Product Hunt. Looking to grow my arsenal of knowledge regarding marketing a Software-as-a-Service. Thanks in advance.
Saw Aravind's post yesterday about Perplexity's new computer.
Got me thinking: we launched Happycapy - the 1st agent-native computer here on Feb 11 (beta was Jan 27). Grateful @rajiv_ayyangar and the PH community witnessed it from the start.
