We got tired of building Anki decks for Chinese, so we built the app we wanted. Launching Saturday.
Hi everyone
My friend Paul and I fell for Chinese while studying in Beijing and later in Suzhou.
Like most learners who get serious, we ended up in Anki: building our own decks, fixing them, keeping them alive. It worked, but it took hours before the first card was ready. And reading, listening, speaking and writing never fit on a flashcard anyway.
So we built Gushi: the whole language in one app, with spaced repetition deciding what comes back and when.
What it does differently:
Launched 5 days ago: 1 upvote, 0 comments. Here's what I did next.
Honest numbers from a first-time maker: my Product Hunt launch on Oct 27 got 1 upvote and no comments. No seed audience, no network just a product and a listing.
Instead of calling it a failure, I treated launch day as day 1 of distribution. Since then I've shipped:
5 free SEO landing pages targeting exact searches like "instagram caption generator" (each with a working no-signup trial generator 3 free copies per day, no credit card)
Listings on SaaSHub, AlternativeTo, Futuretools and a few niche directories
Launching here in a few hours. No launch squad, just 5 friends and a lot of nerves.
In a few hours TripMazer goes live on Product Hunt.
I ve been building it alone for 11 months, and today strangers finally get to tear it apart.
No launch squad. No big audience. 5 friends said they d take a look, and that s pretty much the whole plan.
What I built is Mazer, an AI travel agent that doesn t stop at the itinerary. It checks you in for your flight, replans your day when the flight slips, and calls the hotel in their language once you say yes. It lives on web, WhatsApp and Telegram.
When does an interactive world need reusable 3D assets?
I am part of the Mugen3D team at Sumeru AI. While writing about Atlas and Genie 3, I kept coming back to a product question: when is exploring a generated world enough, and when does an application need persistent, reusable 3D assets?
The distinction changes the implementation:
Live world generation: the model produces what comes next as a user moves. This is compelling for exploration and simulation, but consistency, latency and inference cost become product constraints.
Spatial generation and reconstruction: Atlas supports camera-controlled video, novel views and explicit 3D outputs. The relevant tradeoff depends on the output mode, so I would not treat it as only a video generator.
Asset-first applications: our Mugen3D work starts with a reusable 3D representation, then adds rendering, animation, dialogue and interaction. This shifts work toward asset quality and runtime engineering, including memory, compression and integration.
There is no universal winner here. Single-image 3D still infers unseen surfaces; small text, reflective materials and complex geometry need review. Reusable assets do not remove rendering or animation costs, and this is not a benchmark comparison with Atlas or Genie 3.
It's done bro
When you launch your first product on product hunt..and it becomes product of the day after that 4 hour mark...that feeling is exhilarating.
Then the runt for the next 24 hours start. When the next products start climbing up and you climb higher - pure adrenaline.
I built an app because I couldn't decide whether to get divorced
I spent months stuck on major life decisions move to SF? Take a new job? End my marriage? Pros and cons lists just made it worse. So I built Clarified a decision-making app that asks what matters to you, how you want to feel, and gives you a clear answer in 60 seconds. Built by an overthinker, for overthinkers.
Would love feedback from the PH community tryclarified.com
Why are basic PDF & signature tools still locked behind $20/month paywalls?
Hey Product Hunt community!
A common frustration I kept hearing from freelancers, small business owners, and job seekers is how annoying it is to put a handwritten signature onto a contract, PDF, or Word document.
Usually, taking a photo with your phone leaves an ugly white rectangular box that covers the text underneath. Most solutions online either:
1. Require expensive software like Photoshop or Adobe Acrobat ($20+/mo)
I removed the sidebar from my notes app and never missed it
Every notes app I tried had the same shape: a list on the left, a note on the right. And every one of them slowly became a filing job folders to maintain, notes to name, a structure to keep tidy before I could write anything.Hejour has no sidebar and no note list. There's one page per day. Today is always the page you land on. If something belongs to Thursday, you type @ and write a section for Thursday it shows up on both days.The thing I didn't expect: without a list, there's nothing to organise, so there's nothing to fall behind on. Two weeks of not writing leaves no mess.What's the one feature you'd remove from the notes app you use now? I'm genuinely collecting answers.
Tomorrow I'm launching DaytaBrain — an AI strategy partner for the people moving businesses forward
After more than a year of building, testing, and refining, DaytaBrain launches on Product Hunt tomorrow, November 1! As a project manager, I've spent countless hours gathering updates, reviewing spreadsheets, tracking performance, preparing reports, and trying to understand whether the projects and initiatives I was responsible for were actually moving forward successfully. And I know I'm not alone.
Project managers, Chiefs of Staff, operations leaders, and entrepreneurs spend significant time on the administrative work required to understand how their businesses, projects, and strategic initiatives are performing.
But after all that work, there's still an important question: What is the information actually telling us, and what should we do next, that's why I built DaytaBrain. DaytaBrain is an AI-powered strategy and decision intelligence platform that connects initiatives, KPIs, assumptions, risks, and decisions. It helps people understand what's progressing, what's drifting, why it matters, and what decisions could help move things forward.
I built ShareEasy — a local WiFi file transfer app for Android, iOS, Windows & Mac
Hey PH community!
I just launched ShareEasy today. The core idea: why should two devices on the same WiFi need to route files through internet servers just to share a photo?
ShareEasy transfers files locally at full WiFi speed no internet, no account, no size limits. Works across Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS.
