Preparing for our upcoming launch has made me look at the Product Hunt community through a much more deliberate lens than before.

Among some other patterns I've noticed, there seem to be significantly more men among hunters and makers, but def some women among active users and upvoters, and fewer women who code among those who are active than I typically encounter in other tech communities.

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.

Most startup advice says: don t go solo.

It s practically gospel, especially if you want to raise money.

But I ve met plenty of founders who started solo and stayed that way. Some thrived. Some flamed out. Some figured out how to build a support system around them without giving away half the company.

By little tool, I don't mean it took a small amount of effort, I mean it does one day-to-day, small task. For me it's probably @Xnapper . It allows me to take beautiful screenshots surrounded by stunning backgrounds in literally a few seconds, where as I used to spend time chucking my screenshots into Figma and playing with the padding to make them look nice. I can't even guess how much time this has saved me

I've been having a lot of fun exploring AI and using tools like @Cursor, @bolt.new, @Lovable, and @Warp to learn how to build and make some apps for myself! I'm also noticing a tremendous amount of growth in folks creating their own apps using these same tools which has me wondering... if a company wanted to acquire someone's app or tool that was built via vibe coding, would it matter how it was built? Does the method of how it was built impact the valuation?
In my idealistic eyes, I'd like to think it doesn't. As an acquisition is often much more than just the tech but also the user base, brand, and even team behind the product. If anything I think that acquiring a product that has been "vibe coded" and putting them into capable engineering hands would only enhance the product...or a least make the code base cleaner.
I also believe that talent that is able to create stunning products with AI is currently a small percentage of folks, and that companies should be investing in acquiring that talent (either independently or via product acquisition) so that they can stay ahead in innovation while learning how to implement AI tools more efficiently in their orgs.
Very curious to hear what you all think!

I have been in marketing since 2016 (my beginnings date back to that time).

I have tried creating ads for various formats (radio, most often written content, visuals and video for the internet).

I am a marketer and, paradoxically, sometimes I find ads annoying, especially:

I m building landing pages for my next product and exploring AI UI tools that actually help ship faster.

Curious to hear what s working for you from the apps like Lobable or v0

I've tested both and cannot choose what tool is better to buy. Maybe there are better tools?

Not looking for the obvious 'use a VA' or hire freelancers.

What s one thing you do that makes delegation actually work for you as a founder?

Could be:

A way you brief people

I ve been reworking my pitch deck framework lately and noticed something:

The most effective decks I ve seen don t try to impress they aim to clarify.

That one insight changed how I build:

• Less storytelling, more signal

• Less fluff, more structure

• Less "how it works," more "why it matters"

• Numbers that justify
