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.
Hi PHerz! This is not a problem discovery post lol. Just a normal chat to see what others face in their daily lives, cause building stuff and in general trying to do things in life is a roller coaster. For me, a lot of stuff piss me off hah!
However, one thing that does a lot, is the fact that I see the majority outsourcing their lives to the "system". I see people still admiring folks like Elon Musk, people working jobs they dont like and being ok that they will work for 40 years, without realizing they only live once. Buying the newest cars, the newest iphones, posting fake things on social media. Without even thinking the consequences of all this. Feels like people gave up on thinking for themselves. Anyways, hectic day, so I felt like sharing a more "deep" topic. What about you? What pisses you off in this world?
Just yesterday I prevented my team from adding an exotic feature to our product.
My hypothesis is that people don't like many features in a product as that complicates the product adoption e.g. many sales guys hate CRMs for this reason. In that sense, more features might equate to no features as users don't adopt/use the product. So, minimalistic products that solve 1 big problem (80% of the problem pie) is what people like.
Before I start, let me start: without a doubt, children should be children and enjoy their childhood.
However, many makers here already have families, and the role of founders also affects how their children perceive them (they probably see their parents as role models).
Product Hunt has rolled out some fresh updates. Here are some noteworthy changes I observed: Header images in the launch posts You can now add header images in your launch posts. Recommended size: 1200x630 and supported formats are JPG, PNG and GIF. Product Hub UI
A few years ago, AI at work meant smarter autocomplete or a chatbot on your website.
Now, I m seeing something different.
Companies are experimenting with AI agents as teammates - not just tools. They schedule meetings, file reports, analyze data, and even handle parts of customer support.
The last 2 or 3 years, I have been trying to learn more foreign languages besides English. My go-to app is (not surprisingly) Duolingo.
I have also experience with Memrise, but it didn't feel like a good fit.
I find these apps to help learn vocabulary or for keeping up with a language I've previously learned in other ways (for example, from a language school or online lessons), but not necessarily for learning at a conversational level.
