🤝Let’s get to know each other better
I know there’s a p/introduce-yourself topic here on PH, but honestly, it’s hard to meet everyone there.
So let’s do it here.
• Who are you?
• What are you working on?
• What are you addicted to?
• And why are you here on Product Hunt?
I’ll start with myself =)
I’m Adana, 36 yo.
Scenographer by diploma.
12+ years in animation production, mostly as a production manager.
Along the way, I co-founded RunEvr - Agentic project management environment for creatives, with our studio founder, @rafik_mkhitaryan .
I’m addicted to learning something new - and not just knowledge, facts, news. I love discovering new ways of thinking, unexpected stories, different kinds of people, and ideas I’ve never considered before.
And then, naturally, trying to create something new inspired by all of that.
I’m here on PH to launch products, meet fellow makers, discover interesting new products, exchange ideas, and, of course, hear from you.
So, who are you? 👇

@lera_kuntsevich1 Nice to meet you, Lera!
I checked out your product here - really cool one!
Am I right that you’re preparing for Clipwing’s next launch?
Clipwing
@adana nice to meet you too!
yeah, we're going to launch autopilot next :D already preparing for the party haha
Emmanuel, based in Lagos.
Six years as a graphic designer before this; still run freelance design work on the side to fund building Merzify.
Working on Merzify, checking whether an Amazon product is actually safe to buy before you spend money on it. Solo founder, still pre-launch.
Addicted to figuring out why people trust the things they trust. Not in an abstract way, more like the specific mechanics of it. Why a strikethrough price feels like a discount even when it isn't. Why five stars and "verified purchase" is enough to stop most people from checking anything further. That's basically the whole reason Merzify exists: the gap between what looks trustworthy and what actually is.
Here on PH mostly to build real relationships before I launch, not to collect upvotes cold on day one. Already had a good exchange with you in the UI/UX thread; this is the kind of thing I mean.
RunEvr
@emmanuel_lnu Nice to meet you in this thread too! =)
I really like your concept and the thinking behind it - understanding why people trust what they trust.
Is there any mechanism that can determine whether a product is actually worth buying beyond stars and reviews? What’s your approach to this?
@adana Yes, that's actually the whole design of it. Stars and reviews are one input, not the answer, because both can be faked or gamed the same way.
Three things run together. Review patterns, not individual reviews: does the language repeat across "different" people, did reviews arrive in an unnatural burst, do the reviewers have any real purchase history behind them. Seller signals: how long they've actually been selling, whether the listing behaves like it's been quietly swapped out under a good rating it didn't earn. And price behavior: whether that "50% off" is a real discount or a price that was raised the week before just to create one.
None of those three alone tells you much. A product can have one clean signal and still be a bad buy. It's the combination that produces something honest.
Where I'm strict with myself: if those three don't agree, or the data's too thin to say anything real, Merzify doesn't round up to a confident answer. It says the trust level is uncertain, or that it can't be established, instead of guessing to look more useful than it actually is. That rule cost me the easy version of the product. I think it's the only version worth building.
RunEvr
@emmanuel_lnu Really good! I hadn’t even thought about all these criteria you mentioned.
And I really like the part where it doesn’t force an answer just to give you one. Being honest when there isn’t enough data is a really valuable approach.
Can I try Merzify right now to get some stats on a few products? Is it live?
@adana Not public yet, no live link to hand out yet. But go ahead and drop me a product you're curious about anyway, I'll queue it up and send you the real result once I'm able to run it, not leaving you with just "coming soon."
In the meantime, curious about something on your side. RunEvr's for creatives managing projects, a different kind of trust problem from mine, but probably not unrelated. When a client or collaborator is deciding whether to actually trust a tool inside their workflow, what's the thing that convinces them, is it the output quality, how it handles their data, or something else entirely?

Lisa, Head of Marketing at Softorino, where we make small Mac and Windows utilities. Today I ran my first launch of my own, a free in-browser converter, so right now I am addicted to refreshing the dashboard. Here because the useful feedback shows up in threads like this rather than in my analytics.
RunEvr
@yelyzaveta_kibets Nice to meet you! =)
Wow, share your launch here! Would be interesting to watch & support.

@adana Nice to meet you too. It is Softorino Online Converter, live on Product Hunt today, and it converts video, audio and GIFs right in the browser with nothing uploaded. Easiest way to find it is a search here for Softorino.
I'm Sriram from India. I was a frontend developer before, now doing indiehacking full-time.
I'm currently working on Convert PDF to Google Slides, a simple add-on that generates editable slides from PDF pages in 1 click, directly inside Google Slides.
I'm addicted to SEO, Traffic engineering - like how google search engine, AI engines work with shortlisting sites and ranking them, etc.
I'm on Product Hunt to vibe with like minded people, imbibe the mindset, also go through what others are building, etc. basically to just see what's happening around.
RunEvr
@sriram_gk Nice to meet you ! =)
Liked the tool you've shared.
@adana Thanks Adana that's so kind! Appreciate your initiative.
I'm always curious about how products actually come together. Did you animation background shape RunEvr much?
RunEvr
@hassan_ismail_rebe RunEvr actually was born inside an animation studio.
We were struggling to manage creative teams. We realized they needed more freedom and fewer tools to deal with =D
So we created RunEvr to have a structured, well-managed production process while giving creative teams an environment they actually enjoy using.
I'm Samran. Founder of Rezunate AI. Building RezunateLLM, helping enterprises deploy AI they can actually trust with PII guardrails, prompt management, and compliance built into the workflow.
Spent the last 6+ years turning AI ideas into production systems across GenAI, RAG, and NLP.
Here on PH gearing up for our own launch soon, excited to learn from what's working for everyone else.
RunEvr
@samran_elahi Nice to meet you again in my threads!
It’s really interesting to hear about turning AI ideas into production systems.
Hi Adana and everyone! 👋
I’m Vishal, founder of Playistry.
I come from a technology/product background, and right now I’m focused on building Playistry—a platform that helps small and local businesses make their marketing more interactive and engaging.
The idea is simple: instead of another ad that people scroll past, businesses can create QR-code games, giveaways, and reward campaigns that customers can actually participate in. 🎮
I'm currently obsessed with building, testing, and learning what actually makes people engage with a product. There are plenty of technical problems to solve, but I've found that getting people to care about what you've built is often the harder (and more interesting) challenge.
I'm here on Product Hunt to:
🚀 Learn from other founders and makers
🤝 Meet people building interesting products
💡 Exchange ideas and get honest feedback
📈 Learn more about product launches and growth
🎮 And hopefully introduce more businesses to Playistry
Also, I'm a big believer that you can learn a lot by building in public, experimenting, failing quickly, and talking to actual users.
Looking forward to meeting everyone here! 🙌
RunEvr
@vishal_desai6 Nice to meet you !
Is Playistry already live, or are you planning to launch it here on PH?
@adana Yes. we are live. We have launched here on PH also.
RunEvr
@vishal_desai6 Ah yes, found it !
Wishing you and your product lots of success!
Hi Adana and everyone, I'm May! My background is in Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy, and I'm currently working with some friends to build a new brand called Pexar.
I discovered Product Hunt after a former colleague launched his product concept here and won Product of the Day. I’m blown away by the energy in this community—it’s amazing to connect with people who are so passionate about bringing new ideas to life.
I’m here to make friends, learn how you all evaluate new concepts, and get ready for our upcoming launch. Excited to connect!
RunEvr
@may_ouyang Nice to meet you, May! =)
And what is Pexar working on? Would love to hear a little more about it!
Emanuel, Ruby on Rails engineer + DevOps + webmaster.

I'm here to network, get insights and prepare to launch my app.

Wow, I really like your interests - they’re very similar to mine! =) Collaboration within teams is also one of the main goals of our product.
Does Velofloor have any AI features or an AI side to it?
