Quick recap: A few days ago I asked what game to build with my PlanetScale credits. After all your amazing suggestions, I landed on something that felt too perfect - a tower defense game about startup survival.
I ve been experimenting with ways to reduce fake signups and bot accounts in SaaS apps. Some approaches that have worked for me include:
Detecting disposable or temporary emails
Identifying VoIP or invalid phone numbers
Checking IP reputation and datacenter usage
Assigning a risk score to new signups to help prioritize real users
I recently built a simple API to experiment with these techniques and would love feedback from other devs if you re curious. https://rapidapi.com/ghost-produ...
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
I believe collecting user feedback is one of the most important things you can do while building a product. I used to run a B2C app with 100k monthly users a couple years ago, and got so frustrated with existing solutions which were either too complicated or too expensive, that I ended up using a single Google Form. I don't need to tell you how tedious the process of going through all the answers was.
Fast forward to today, I sold that app, and for the last 5 months I've been working on Modu.io , a feedback collection tool that allows businesses and communities to create multiple kinds of feedback modules (suggestions with voting, roadmaps, changelogs, polls, ratings, open questions) and either organize them in a public board, link to them directly, or use them as in-app embeds/popups.
We just crossed 1,000 users?! The growth lately has been crazy. A bit overwhelming in the best way. I remember going to concerts in my hometown with about 1,000 people in the crowd. A full room. Loud. Packed. Now imagine that same room but every single person downloaded your app, registered, and voted. Over 1,000 real humans who cared enough to try Votap. That blows my mind a little. Only 1,000x more to hit 1 million. Easy, right? Seriously though thank you.
If you haven t joined yet: Get Votap More tomorrow.
I hate writing, but I think about a lot of things. For example the other day I was wondering why Starbucks barristas take such a long time just to take my coffee order. So I ranted about it to ChatGPT.
ChatGPT gave me a pretty good answer. So I went ahead and turned it into a blog so that others benefit. Maybe it will even rank on Google. Maybe someone from Starbucks will find out and do something about it! And that's what https://thinkinpublic.app is about. I simply copied the ChatGPT conversation and pasted it into ThinkInPublic. Here's the result.

I have a list of 50 people that I would kill to have a coffee with. Niche founders, retired experts, brilliant writers.
But the reality is: They won't read my cold email. And honestly, they shouldn't have to. They are busy.
The 10% Problem I realized that for all the crawling Google and OpenAI do, they have only captured maybe 10% of human intelligence. The other 90% the "Dark Matter" of wisdom is still locked inside people's heads, private journals, or offline experiences. It is "gatekept" by time and physics.
