I've been watching this weird trend in B2B sales, and it's honestly keeping me up at night.
Everyone's rushing to implement AI sales tools (rightfully so - the efficiency gains are insane), but we might be accidentally breaking the entire profession.
For a long time our empty state was a box that said: drop a document here.
Reasonable. It's a tool for reading long documents, so of course it needs a document. But watch what that actually asks of a first-time visitor. Go and find a file. Make sure it's the right one. Make sure it's long enough to be worth the trouble. Upload it. Wait. Only then do you find out whether the thing is any good.
Some people love automation, while others want full control over every entry. Where do you fall on that spectrum? Do you trust automated tracking, or do you prefer being hands-on with your finances?
I've been thinking about this while building a web security assessment tool, and I realized that many scanners overwhelm users with hundreds of warnings but provide very little guidance on what actually matters.
In your experience, what makes a security scanner genuinely valuable?
Some questions I'd love to hear your thoughts on:
Do you prefer a simple summary or a detailed technical report?
Should findings be prioritized by severity, exploitability, or business impact?
How important are confidence scores in deciding whether to trust a finding?
What's the biggest frustration you've had with existing security scanners?
Which security checks do you think are often overlooked but should be included?
Been going through today's board and there's a real cluster on it Memmy, Greplica, and a few others all solving some version of "your agent forgets everything the moment the session ends."
Good problem to be working on. I've been running a docs/ memory folder for my own setup for a while, so the pain is familiar.
Meow Product Hunt! About a year ago, we had a discussion on launch weeks here. A launch week is when a company announces something new every day for 5 days. This week is unique. This week, 22 developer tools agreed to announce a new feature every day for 5 days. We called it 'Mega Launch Week' you can learn more about it here. Some of them are live on Product Hunt today. Join and support their launch!
I'm a first-time founder and recently launched my first product. I keep finding myself switching between improving the product and trying to get users.
Looking back, what do you wish you had done differently before reaching your first 100 users? More product? More marketing? More conversations with users?
Over the past year, while building AppWhiz (a no-code platform to help anyone build production-ready mobile apps without coding), we kept encountering the same patterns while speaking with founders, creators, and small business owners.
Tons of people have app ideas for loyalty programs, community apps, digital catalogs, personal projects... Very few go from idea working app App Store / Play Store ready.
Why? Some reasons we've heard (and felt ourselves!):
"I don't know how to code."
"Hiring developers is too expensive."
"No-code tools are either too limited or don't make production-level apps."
"Compliance, privacy, and store guidelines sound overwhelming."
A year ago, "has AI" was enough to try something. Now it feels like every tool has bolted one on, and most of them feel the same. Curious if others are noticing this shift too. What makes an AI feature feel genuinely useful vs. just checkbox-AI at this point?
