I’m updating my app Kilowatt to include a new Garage feature that will allow people to add custom car models next to the library of existing models in the app. With so many new car models coming out it’s nigh impossible to keep up so this will offer people a way to add models that are less popular and not in the app yet. Also I just launched Flexible a fitness app aimed at doing your rehab exercises consistently, I really need to work on some marketing for that one though. It hasn’t even been hunted yet 😅

@_tijs My wife and I have actually been talking a good bit about switching over to an electric car for our next vehicle. I'll have to remember Kilowatt! Seems super useful. For the new models that users are adding, are you planning on tracking what the most commonly added ones are to include by default? I can imagine that is a lot to keep up with given how many are coming out!
Also, I'm terrible about remembering to stretch before or after workouts. I really like the red panda mascot for Flexible. I'll have to try it out! And you should totally hunt it!
@jakecrump i want to eventually move away from offering the library, as you said it's getting harder and harder to keep up. I think if i help the user identify the right values they can get quite far in adding enough detail to get an accurate charging estimate without needing presets. This will also make it more flexible when adding an older model which might have less range now then when it came out for instance. As the apps that come with your car get better the niche for my app will be customization and things like cost calculation. It seems to already be more attractive to spreadsheet nerd types then average car owners so i think i can lean into that.
And yeah for Flexible i think i'll end up hunting it myself although i guess it's still better if someone else adds it. Thanks for the positive note!
Product Hunt
@_tijs Yeah I think leaning into the customization and cost calculation is a smart move. Good on you for understanding who it appeals to and leaning into that. And I think aiming for approximation over trying to get super accurate for every type of model makes sense. Like you said, even age of the car or something like mileage could affect that. I imagine most people are looking to just get a close approximation.
For hunting Flexible, it's totally fine to hunt it yourself. It really doesn't change anything if it's hunted by you or someone else in terms of it getting on the homepage.
I'm developing a text-to-speech platform focused on widely used African languages. Starting with common national languages like English, Arabic, Swahili, Somali, and Amharic, I plan to expand into vernacular tongues such as Igbo, Zulu, Gikuyu, and Sukuma.
Product Hunt
@rbluena hey Rabii, this definitely sounds useful! Is there anything similar out there, for African languages?
@juan I have seen for national languages but not for vernacular languages.

@aakashpuriHey, the product looks great! Just one piece of feedback about the landing page: I instantly zoomed out to about 80% because the text appeared too large, even on a 24-inch monitor!

i’m building the onboarding for VidSummify - AI Daily Digest Email for your favorite Youtube Channels. launched it a few days ago and got a few hundred requests, but not much traction yet.
now i wanna make the onboarding more fun so people enjoy using it right away. thinking about adding little moments like confetti when they do something the first time. maybe even throw in a surprise like a discount code or something playful. also working on tightening up the ui/ux.
what’s something fun or unexpected you’ve seen during onboarding that actually worked?
@hien_phan_harry Hey! Great to see a fellow maker from Vietnam 🇻🇳 🙌
VidSummify sounds super useful — I’d definitely use it to keep up with my favorite creators without spending hours watching!
Love that you’re making onboarding more fun. One thing I’ve seen work well is a quick, interactive quiz during setup — like picking favorite YouTubers or content types. It adds a personal touch and builds excitement early on.
You’ve already got strong initial interest — just a matter of dialing in the experience now. Keep it up!
I’m working on NewsMate — an AI-powered news assistant that delivers smart, personalized, real-time summaries. It also auto-swipes and reads them aloud, making news totally hands-free. Launch coming soon!
Would be awesome to support each other’s journeys — let’s stay in touch!
@valhun thank you for the idea about interactive quiz, will try it
I’m working on Unora. It’s basically one app to handle all your chats and emails from WhatsApp, Instagram, Gmail, Slack, and more. It brings 7 apps into one clean, searchable place. Basically trying to fix the chaos of too many apps 😅
Apart from aggregating your communication, it also uses AI to give you quick priority-ordered summaries boosting your productivity even more. Would love any thoughts! @Unora
Product Hunt
@erik_s Very cool idea! Being able to search across all of those does sound very nice. I'll often forget where I get a message and spend way too long going through the different apps trying to find it haha
@erik_s if you can actually make this a thing I'd be so happy. key thing for me would be latency. There would have to be a super smooth ux

This weekend I'm hacking away at Loopify, a social media software my cofounder and I started out of frustration. We wanted something that actually did feel new, didn't require 5 tabs to do simple things, and didn't require enterprise expense just to get along.
Right now I'm working on the analytics view, trying to make performance data actually useful, not just numbers for the sake of numbers.
Would love to see what everyone else is producing as well. Always fascinating to see how different projects transition from idea to UI.
Anyways, if anybody’s interested to chat and tell us your experiences and frustrations, would love to hear https://discord.gg/Q6Ph4eGsgW.

@dan16 Sounds interesting! So is it a new social media platform? Or is it software for leveraging social media?
Biteme: Calorie Calculator
@jakecrump leveraging social media. It's a competitor for platforms like Hootsuite and Buffer, but dare I say much better... Ok, I may be biased here 😁
a tool can visualize your custom code

@lezhu Is this a web based sandbox? Any particular limitations?
@jakecrump Yes, it's a web-based sandbox supporting Python, JavaScript, and C++ (C++ still experimental). Code runs in isolated environments with execution step limits to prevent overload. Current restrictions: no third-party package imports, no interactive input (like input()/stdin), and some syntax (e.g., classes) might not visualize cleanly.
I launched mine this week quick mvp - Launch a high-value MVP in 10 working day. It's good for busy developers or non-technical founders or just founders who want to test the market without putting in the time
I launched my side project yesterday called DeepRankAI its a free AI Content humanization tool that turns your AI generated content into human like writing in one click.
Product Hunt
@gerome24 Very cool and congrats on launching! What was the process like for building the AI detection? That feels like a tough problem a lot of people are trying to crack.
@jakecrump This is undoubtedly a highly complex problem, and I am still in the process of completing it. However, the humanization tool is already finished and successfully bypasses all AI detection systems and tools. The most challenging aspect of developing the AI detector has been sourcing genuine human-written content to fine-tune the LLM for accurate detection results.
Product Hunt
@gerome24 That's interesting! Is there a particular kind of human-written content you aim for? I'd imagine not all styles would work well.
@jakecrump Its basically made to convert the content the user pastes into the text area and wants humanized there is multiple different styles and most work pretty well but the default option works best

I've been (slowly) working on a notifications system for my side project!
this weekend I hope to finish the v1, which should allow users to "no-code" their own notifications based on different triggers that happen in the app!
Prototypr
@catt_marroll is your sideproject the notification system itself?
Product Hunt
@catt_marroll Ooh, I love the idea of getting to set up your own triggers for notifications.
