Whether it's employing people with disabilities or making products more accessible, I ve been noticing efforts by major companies to support inclusion.
Honestly, I thought the hard part was building the product.
It wasn't.
I launched GST Maker a free GST invoice generator for Indian freelancers about a month ago. Here's what actually went wrong after launch, because nobody really talks about this part.
1. I focused too much on the product, not enough on distribution
Student burnout, anxiety, and isolation are more common than ever, especially with remote learning and academic pressure. I ve seen some early-stage tools try to address this, but I wonder what more can be done.
How do you think AI can actually help improve student mental health and well-being?
Everyone is talking about AI agents, but building a demo and deploying them in production are two very different things.
While building an AI agent orchestration platform, I expected prompting to be the hard part. Surprisingly, it wasn't. The biggest challenge has been making agents reliable enough to trust without constant human supervision.
For us, that meant experimenting with builder/tester agent pairs instead of relying on a single agent to verify its own work.
Hi, I have a problem maybe someone can help me with it.
I'm a software developer, and I maintain a solid tech stack (UI/UX isn't great but I'm working on it). I am capable of designing, developing, and deploying an application from start to finish.
The difficulty I am having is how to reach users, my distribution stack is poor, very poor.
When I google this problem and watch youtube videos, the solutions do not seem real.
It is essentially getting a bunch of fake people to attract not fake people and spam.
Product Hunt is the only place I've found that looks and feels honest where I've found tech that I'm using on a daily basis.
Do you know of more places like this where I can promote with more idea minded people to get feedback?
Thanks for your help.
1. First, it's essential to thoroughly analyze user feedback and uncover the underlying needs. Oftentimes, users are not pointing out a specific problem but expressing dissatisfaction with a particular scenario, which might already be part of your long-term roadmap. 2. If there is indeed a significant conflict between user feedback and the product vision, I suggest being transparent rather than hiding the truth. It's even better to communicate openly with users-perhaps even recommending a product that might better suit their needs. In conclusion, I believe that the long-term value of a product will always shine through, and maintaining a good relationship with users is undoubtedly a critical factor.
