I m a solo iOS developer, and I ve just launched my first app, Work Expense.
I built it to solve a problem I kept running into myself: collecting receipt images and turning them into something clean and presentable when it s time to submit expenses.
Hello, i'm the developer of a platform to manage your entire business, from invoicing, to crm, to stats and financial report (and a lot more, go check it out). The platform called YourBizFlow.com
...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.
I am continually getting caught in the same pattern: I start working on something with good intentions... and 30 minutes later I am overwhelmed with tabs scattered in 3, 4 different contexts (work, learning, "quick research, " distractions). It is the switching back and forth between contexts that really gets to me, not the tasks themselves.
So, I decided to implement a very simple rule: one window per goal.
I m the co-founder of SeekWhy.ai, but before that, I was a technical lead who sat through too many "All-Hands" meetings where management tried to explain away a bad NPS score.
I realized that traditional surveys are broken because they give you a number (e.g., "7/10") but zero context. HR teams end up over-correcting for a "loud minority" while ignoring the "silent majority" because manual follow-up doesn't scale.
What I m building: We ve built an AI-first platform that uses an AI agent to dynamically "interview" employees during the survey. If one person mentions a specific friction point, the AI cross-validates it with the next person in real-time. It s the first tool that can actually tell you: "Is this 3 people or 300?"
Record day: ~50 new users in a single day. What changed? We doubled down on Instagram video ads We started experimenting with fun / caricature-style creatives And we leaned fully into one rule of marketing: Ads are about attention. Not features. Not explanations. Just something that makes you stop scrolling. Once people stop, then they re curious. Once they re curious, then they install. If you're curious and want to see the full video: See on Instagram More tomorrow.
