Last time, I lost my streak at around 90 days.
And this time, I lost it again after 130 days.
Does PH count mobile app logins for the streak?
And what's the biggest streak you lost?
Anytime we want to see technological advancements, we either keep an eye on Product Hunt, Techcrunch or the military. And that's today's case.
In the morning, I read this announcement:
Meta is partnering with defense tech company Anduril to develop AR/VR headsets for the U.S. military, starting with a new device called EagleEye. The new headset will include night vision, thermal sensing, and augmented reality features. The partnership has raised eyebrows due to Meta s role in data and AI, and the ethical implications of a social media giant entering the military tech space.
For me personally, it bothers me a lot when people try to teach others something that they didn't do themselves. It's like one blind person tries to teach other blind person to see. So the best advice is to learn from experience and it's been working for me so far. What's yours?
Imagine discovering your 80K followers over IG and FB product accounts were gone in an instant.
I run my social media accounts by myself and built them up over the past decade, featuring my products, company, upcoming projects and personal anecdotes all gone. My content is pretty milk toast material, Mighty Wallets, other inventions and insights on design.
Some Ai moderation tool decided I did something so horrific that it required immediate deletion and removal from IG and FB platforms - including my "personal" account where photos of my kids growing up are gone forever. "Gut punch, Depressing, Anxiety producing" - are just some of the ways that Redditors on r/FixMyInstagram and others r/InstagramDisabledBans rack up over 25K visits per week. The other sudden discovery about Digital Feudalism is that its rampantly removing many other creators and indie small businesses across the US and around the world.
We often celebrate the wins and the "hockey stick growth" moments here, which is incredibly inspiring. However, I believe there's a treasure trove of knowledge in the projects that didn't work out, especially in the rapidly evolving world of AI agents.
What if you could make a completely new product with a snap of your fingers, what would you make? What do you think humanity needs and lacks the most? What would be a product that if it existed it would be like a new mobile phone?
I feel like a lot of product bloat starts with a request that seems totally reasonable in the moment.
Then it ships, and months later you realize it added more complexity than value more support, more exceptions, more maintenance, and one more thing the product has to carry forever.
Would love to hear examples from other builders. What s one request you wish you had handled differently?
