A funding announcement can make a company look successful, but it does not prove that customers want the product or that the business can sustain itself.
The more durable signal is often simpler: you ship something useful, generate revenue, and use the profit from product one to fund product two. Each product becomes evidence that the next one can exist without another raise.
On every team I've been on, the real status of a project doesn't live in the tool it lives in whoever describes it most confidently in standup. Tickets and PRs tell you what moved, not whether the thing is going to land. So the weekly "are we on track?" answer gets shaped by who's most persuasive that morning, not who's most accurate!
I've been burned by this a project that looked green right up until it slipped, because the confident read drowned out the quieter person who saw the risk coming.
For people who run teams: has anything actually helped you separate the real state of a project from the most confident version of it in the room?
I think Product Hunt is more of graveyard for launches than a hunting platform like i think the amount of launches that gets buried just because they didn't get a fair chance is scary and the 4 hrs no upvotes revealed to give everybody a chance lets be real no one will scroll down 20 times to find your product i am new to the platform to be hones can anybody explain this part to me
The title keeps updating with the latest statistics like views, likes, comments, subscriber count, and even the number of days since upload.
I'm a complete beginner, so I'm curious how this is possible. How does the title update automatically every few minutes? What APIs or tools are used, and what's the overall workflow behind it?
Spent most of a day debugging a fix that turned out to have never shipped. The build compiled clean, the app launched, the screen looked right, and the code I had just changed simply was not running.
Root cause was a stale build cache. I had moved a widget between files, and the toolchain kept serving the old compiled output instead of rebuilding it. No error, no warning, exit code 0. The binary running on the device just was not the one on disk.
Hi, im working in this industry a few years as a graphic and i see many jewerly business doesnt have the best photos and i thinking about creating a software or site where you can generate from raw photos retouch images. I know what is needed bcs im working with this everyday, most of the people need the right resolution, good quality diamonds and jewerly, correct jewelry dimensions and on the model, its a lot of things but overall we want from raw photo to good photo ready for your site. I wanted to know if its needed or you have already something?
So, @Boost.space is launching today. Every time we decide to go through this whole "Product Hunt thingy," it feels like a full-circle moment.
But we keep doing it. Whenever we have a major release like this v5 we end up back here. It honestly feels like Product Hunt is simply the place to be.
Found about MCP servers earlier this year, but only the last few weeks im getting my hands dirty with them. Im doing things with Typescript and Im struggling with integrating custom clients with mcp servers. Is anyone going through the same path?
PS: Im not asking about building an MCP server or connecting it to Claude Desktop, Cursor or something like that. That is easy, and Youtube is packed with videos about it. Im talking about custom frontends/clients and how to easily integrate them with MCP servers.
