Bootstrapped by a father of 5: How I built the AI engine behind 300k hours of traffic data.
Hello Product Hunt!
I m Slawek, an engineer from Silesia, Poland, and a father of five (4 girls and 1 boy now that is a real-world lesson in logistics and scaling!). I m writing to you from my home in Lubecko because the time has come for my "bootstrapped" project to step out of the local market and onto the global stage.
The "Aha!" Moment
A few years ago, I was driving past a road construction site and saw people sitting in the cold with manual clickers, trying to count cars. I thought: "It s the 21st century. We have AI, we have computer vision why are we still doing this like it's 1920?"

👋 2x founder/CEO of a pickleball dating app and a tool that helps new brands go viral on socials
Getting roasted on Jimmy Kimmel wasn't on my 2025 bingo card, but that's what happened when a side project I started as a joke went viral.
I started PickleMatch because dating apps are broken. The average dating app funnel looks like 100 swipes > 10 chats > 1 actual date. Instead, we get people off their phones and onto pickleball courts.
And it's working.
In the last 5 months, we've been covered on every major news channel, grew to 1000s of subscribers, & threw 8 pickleball ragers. No babies or weddings yet, but that's on the 2026 OKRs.
Then I hit a wall. Growing organically on social is genuinely dark arts. You either get sucked into influencer collabs, buying followers, 'engagement pods' or earnestly trying to make good content that gets ~100 views. It's soul sucking.
So we built a new feature in ShowStop to helps detect trends and turn them into ready-to-use briefs for your brand.
It's already helped PickleMatch go viral 3x in the last 2 weeks. Posts are getting 5x the engagement and reaching 80% more new people.
ShowStop surfaces trends as they're emerging, turns them into templates you can repurpose, and generates content briefs that live in one collaborative calendar. It's basically a creative strategist for your social team.
Check it out at our website, it's free to try :)
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Zahoor, one of the founders of Votap.
...Like most startups, Votap started pretty scrappy. A lot of late nights, second-guessing, building things that break, fixing them, and slowly figuring out what actually matters to users. This isn t a polished big company launch. It s very much a real product built by a small team trying to learn fast and build something useful.
We built Votap because politics affects almost every part of our lives: cost of living, housing, work, safety, opportunity. Yet for most of us, our actual influence feels close to zero outside of elections every few years. That disconnect never sat right with us.
Votap is our attempt to close that gap. It s a simple way to express how you feel about politicians in real time and see how public sentiment shifts live through charts. No waiting years between elections. Just ongoing feedback.
Launching on Product Hunt matters a lot to us because early adopters here don t just click and disappear. You ask tough questions. You spot flaws. You suggest features we didn t think of. That feedback is genuinely how early products get better, and we re here to learn.
Hey Product Hunt! I’m Furkan, the founder of Ashera 👋
I started building Ashera after seeing the same painful pattern over and over: the truth lives inside sales calls, but it gets lost the moment the meeting ends. It turns into messy notes, vague summaries in the CRM, and internal handoffs where everyone retells the story differently. The result is predictable deals stall, forecasting becomes guesswork, onboarding starts with confusion, and teams waste time re-discovering what was already said.
So our mission is simple: turn conversations into execution.
Ashera uses AI to analyze meetings and extract the signals that actually move a deal forward:
risks and objections
decision process and stakeholders
real next steps (not we ll follow up )
what the buyer cares about most, and what might block the deal
How did you find your product identity?
I spent WAY too much time building. Now that I have my product, I'm digging into marketing and I'm stuck - NavNotes could help freelancers juggling clients, BAs drowning in scattered requirements, teams maintaining legacy code, PMs tracking the work... basically anyone in web development.
How do you narrow your focus? Pick your favorite and dig in?

Hello!
Hello!
I m the founder of Snaplytics a small analytics tool I ve built specifically for small businesses and solo founders.
After years working with GA4 and analytics through agencies, I kept seeing the same problem:
great data, but way too complex and way too expensive for small teams to actually use.
Snaplytics turns your website data into plain-English insights what s working, what s not, and what you should fix next without dashboards, analysts, or agency retainers.
Ant Perspective ,a indie developer
Hi
I m an indie developer focused on building AI-powered tools for visual storytelling things like AI video generation, storyboards, and multi-agent workflows.
I enjoy turning messy ideas (scripts, prompts, raw text) into structured, editable outputs that creators can actually work with.
Lately, I ve been exploring:
AI video pipelines
agent-based systems
creator-friendly editors instead of black-box tools
