Hi everyone Arinc here, longtime PH lurker, first time posting. I'm a solo developer and the thing I've been pouring evenings into is PackRip (https://packrip.co), a free browser simulator for opening vintage Pokemon TCG booster packs. WotC through HGSS 47 sets, the full 1999-2011 run. Mobile-first because ~86% of the people who found it organically are on phones. Tech-wise it's React 19 + TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind 4, Zustand for state, prerendered SEO pages on Cloudflare Pages. No backend; everything's localStorage so anyone can rip a pack in under a second from a cold load. Why I built it: I had a Base Set starter deck as a kid in Turkey and never owned a single holo. This is the closure project. Free forever, tip jar funded, no ads on the gameplay path. What I'd love to learn from this community: how did you find your first 100 true users not visitors, but people who came back the next day? That's the metric I'm stuck on.
With 15+ years in tech HR and executive search, I ve spent nearly a year (since October 2025) building a solution to fix a broken workflow I witnessed firsthand.
Hey Product Hunt. I'm Will, a solo founder based in Sydney, Australia.
I have been working on Sharpread for about six months. It started out of pure frustration. I was spending hours reading through 10-Ks trying to find the signals that actually mattered, buried in footnotes and risk factors that most people skip. I kept thinking there had to be a better way to extract the information without losing the rigour.
I spent months watching people lose job opportunities not because they were underqualified but because their resume never made it past an ATS filter they didn't even know existed.
That frustrated me enough to build something.
But the more I talked to users, the more I realized the problem was bigger than resumes. Students were submitting academic papers with weak structure and no idea why they kept getting average grades. Professionals were writing business reports that looked thorough but failed to communicate strategy clearly.
I m Lily, a UX designer with a CS background. I spend my days thinking about smooth user flows, but I have a funny confession: My absolute favorite tools to use are usually the "ugliest" ones.
I m talking about the tools with zero micro-interactions, no fancy gradients, and an interface that looks like a spreadsheet. Why? Because they have a 100% success rate at solving my actual problems instantly.
Hey Product Hunters! I'm Zion, a developer exploring the emotional side of AI. Like many of you, I've noticed most AI assistants feel too transactional. You ask a question, get an answer, and close the tab. I wanted something that feels more natural an AI companion that actually remembers you, texts you first, and lives right in your daily chat apps. That s why my team and I are building Clavo.chat an AI roleplay companion for Telegram, WhatsApp, and WeChat (yes, it supports Tavern cards!). We are launching Clavo.chat here soon, but for now, I just wanted to say hi and connect with this amazing community. What are you all building right now? I'd love to hear about your projects!
"Hey everyone! I m Michael. I spent 25 years in the trades before deciding to build the solutions I actually needed. I just launched my 4th agent, 'What Do I Say?', today.
I m here to chat about how a solo builder can use AI to build the Human Operating System. Check out my launch and let's build! "
I'm Vlad, based in Bucharest. I work at Hivemind an AI strategy copilot built on top of Myosin's marketing playbook (the agency that's done positioning work across crypto, fintech, and AI). The short version: it's the strategic conversation you'd have with a senior marketer before deciding what to ship, what to write, or what to pitch.
I've spent the last few years in Web3 marketing, community, content, growth, and the pattern that keeps repeating is this: founders don't have a marketing problem, they have a positioning problem dressed up as one. More content, more channels, more outreach. Same flat results. The leverage usually sits one step earlier, in clarity about who you're for and why you matter.
That's the bet behind Hivemind, and it's also why I spend a lot of time on PH and IH lurking through launches and intro posts. Reading how people frame their products tells you more about their go-to-market than any deck does.
