When I started building BarberScanner, I thought the biggest challenge would be building the product.
I was wrong.
As a software developer, building the product was actually the part I felt most comfortable with. It wasn t easy, but I knew how to build a full project from the technical side.
What was new to me was everything around it.
Marketing. Customer validation. Content creation. Understanding numbers. Talking to customers. Getting people to actually use the product. And learning how to turn an idea into a real business.
And honestly, I ve learned a lot.
There are days when, after a long 9 5, I stay up late working on BarberScanner.
There are days when things go well and the positive feedback gives you a lot of energy.
And there are also days when you ask yourself:
Should I just quit?
But then I remember why I started.
BarberScanner is not just a side project for me.
As I said in my launch post:
This is a solution to a problem I m facing in my own life. It s not just a side project.
That mission is what keeps me going.
In my previous companies, I always appreciated the people around me from management and product teams to QA, marketing, and everyone in between.
But now, experiencing some of these responsibilities myself has given me an even deeper appreciation for their work.
Every role matters. Every person matters.
Building software is only one part of building a product.
You can build something technically great, but you still need to understand the people you're building it for, validate the problem, communicate the value, and convince people to give it a chance.
BarberScanner is getting a lot of positive feedback, and that gives me even more motivation to keep improving it.
So the journey continues.
I m still learning. Still building. Still experimenting. Still making mistakes. And still believing in the vision.
I don t know exactly where BarberScanner will take me, but I hope that one day it will make a real difference in people s lives both for barbers and their clients.

Hi all,
I heard about this platform from a colleague and have been exploring from last 1 week. Really exploring the products here. Any tips on how to view, explore more on new launches?

Hi everyone

I m Ankit, currently building in the CRM space.

Over the past few months, I kept running into the same problem -
leads would come from everywhere (emails, chats, meetings), but managing them was always messy.

Spreadsheets felt manual.
Tools felt heavy.
And somehow, the pipeline never really reflected what was actually happening.

Hey Product Hunt,

My name is Panche and i am 28 years old. I m new here, and honestly I m still learning how this whole Product Hunt world works. I joined because I want to meet developers and founders, learn from you, and also share what we are building with real feedback from same-minded people.

I started my online business journey when I was 25. I went to university for 4 years, but it was not for me, so I left. Back then I had no experience about the internet and how it works (except games like Dota 2 lol), but I always wanted to do my own thing. I never wanted to be employee.

I kept seeing the same problem with people in construction. GCs, PMs, QSs, and procurement leads get hundreds of emails from subs, suppliers, and consultants, and the phone numbers and job titles sit in signatures that never reach a CRM or contacts list. When you need "that electrical sub from the Burnaby job," you end up digging through your inbox.

So I built Sigbot. It connects to Outlook, Gmail, or IMAP, pulls the contact details out of every signature automatically, and puts them in a searchable database you can export. It runs on web and iOS.

It's bootstrapped, built over the past ~9 months, and launching on PH soon.
Questions for you:
- How do you handle this today? Manual copy-paste, a CRM, or nothing?
- If you're outside construction, would this be useful in your industry?
- What would stop you from connecting your inbox to a tool like this?

Happy to give early access to anyone who wants to try it and tell me what's broken.

Hi, I'm Onur. I was born in T rkiye and grew up in Norway. I'm 31 (the golden age) and a father of one. I would like to say hi and show what I am building :)

I think AI agents will shape businesses and our lives. But to be useful, they need a way to talk to customers, so I built formbase.so.

As you know, customers are lazy. They forget, and they get things wrong. Sometimes they speak a different language.

For a business, it matters to reach as many customers as possible, reduce drop-offs and show off its brand.
Businesses already have most of the information about a customer, and AI can pull out what matters for each person.

Hey everyone, glad to finally be here.

I'm part of the team behind Arkteka. We're working on something for anyone planning a home renovation or addition: you describe what you want in plain language, and the tool generates permit-ready architectural documents floor plans, elevations, sections, and construction details exported as PDF, DWG/DXF, and IFC.

The problem we kept running into: homeowners and builders have a clear idea of what they want, but getting from "idea" to actual drawings a permit office or contractor will accept is slow and expensive. We wanted to shorten that gap while keeping the output professional-grade.

Right now we're focused on the US market and learning a lot from early users across homeowners, builders, and contractors each uses it pretty differently, which has been fascinating.

Hey everyone! I'm Daniel, a developer from Spain building Nexo on my own (bootstrapped: no team, no investors).

The problem I kept seeing: small teams juggle Slack for chat, Trello or Jira for tasks and Meet or Zoom for calls. Three tools, three logins, and work falling through the cracks between them.

Hi Product Hunt!
