Would you rather: Build with no-code or code it yourself?
Be honest: Are you team no-code for speed or team hand-coded for control? Personally, I think no-code is the future, that's why I am writing code for Paage.
Lately, I ve been thinking about how different it feels to build and connect on smaller community platforms compared to the massive social networks. Smaller spaces often feel more personal, supportive, and genuine, but of course, they come with a smaller reach.
So I m curious: Do you prefer the vibe of smaller, niche platforms, or do you still focus on growing on the big ones? What makes a smaller community worth your time? Would you switch to a newer platform if it offered more meaningful engagement, even with fewer users?
I believe the most important thing is for founders to have a deep understanding of their product's core users. A common mistake is that new features sometimes end up diminishing the experience for core users, which should be avoided.
More and more, my friends on Twitter are sharing their Reddit successes. They either have decent "vanity metrics" but also brag about getting real customers. I have a few subReddits where you can create a discussion around your products (I am sharing them below) but do not recommend doing "salesy" marketing. Just take it like a space where you exchange experiences and ideas because trustworthy and connections are done this way. Otherwise, you are banned :)
I recently talked to a friend researching how AI can assist people with visual impairments, like apps such as Be My Eyes. It s incredible to see how AI is transforming accessibility and independence. What s an AI use case that has caught your attention?
At 15 I trained my first machine learning model and landed an internship at a U.S. company. At 16 I launched my first startup and promptly ran it into the ground. I learned more from that failure.
At 17 I launched Pleep, an AI sales rep that lets any business owner integrate AI into their sales workflow in under five minutes. Four months later I quit my job to work on it full time.
Why bother? I kept asking myself: Why isn t there an AI sales monopoly yet? My take: because most competitors deliver AI consultants that talk like robots and kill revenue. We focused on building a real rep that:
Doesn t ask you to prompt or pick an LLM you just tell us about your business and we do the rest.
Talks like your top salesperson, not a bot.
Books meetings and pushes data back into your CRM.
Hi everyone We had some good momentum and amazing customer support during our PH launch. Now I m exploring how to keep that momentum going and actually build a community here (instead of defaulting to Slack or Discord). How do you move beyond just initial discovery and engagement?
Has anyone tried using Product Hunt itself as the community hub for your product? Any tips on how to approach this?
I ve found this community very vibrant and helpful, especially if your ICP is early stage founders and builders. I d love to learn how others have deepened that connection and grown their community right here.
