Hey PH!

We are in pre-launch with simulive.us and keep adding and improving based on real user feedback.

Hey p/general

A few days ago I launched STRYDE a free workout tracking webapp I built alone, with no budget, no team, no audience.

Here's what I learned so far:

1. Building is the easy part. Distribution is brutal.

Hi Product Hunt. We're a four-person team building Shadow. Shubham (Co-founder & CEO), Mayank (Co-founder & Engineering), Priyansh (Head of Development), and me, Hersh, running GTM.

Shadow is real-time AI for online meetings. It listens to your call, understands what's being asked for, and executes the work while you're still talking. NDAs sent before the question is finished. CRM updated. Compliance docs generated. Follow-ups drafted. All before you hang up.

We didn't start here.

Shadow began as a real-time assistant that surfaces context inside your calls. You're on a Zoom, someone drops a competitor name or a metric you don't recognise, Shadow surfaces the answer before you break flow. Users told us they liked it. Then they kept telling us to keep going. The comment that reframed everything came a few weeks ago. A user said, "Every call creates more work for me. Someone wants a proposal, someone wants an NDA, someone wants metrics. I hang up and there's a new to-do list every single time. I feel like a robot running endlessly."

We're getting close to launching our PM tool for creative teams here on PH.
At this period we have a product in which we believe, but there is no guarantee only forecast! So in this same period there is a related question about growth strategy too.
Now we think about two paths - find investments or have community based organic growth.
I really want to know your experience about:
How did you get your first 100 users?
For an early-stage product with no traction yet, which path is better bootstrapping organic growth or raise?

Fundraising is broken. Most pre-seed founders spend weeks cold emailing VCs who never respond, don't invest at their stage, or are just the wrong fit entirely.

We built AdV3nture to fix that. It's a free platform where founders swipe through 150+ investors filtered by thesis, stage, and sector. No cold emailing blind, no gatekeepers.

Early stage, completely free for founders. Would love feedback from this community.

Hey Product Hunt

I m Akash, and I built a Google Trends Scraper on Apify to solve a simple problem:

Google Trends is powerful but not usable at scale.

Most startups fail because they build beautiful UI for a non-existent market. I'm a UX designer who got tired of this, so I built a data-driven engine to stress-test ideas before spending a single dollar on Figma.

If you have a "maybe" idea, don't guess. Use my logic-check flow for free and see your real market score. No fluff, just 200k data points vs. your ego.

I built PictaBase to solve the "dumb folder" problem in high-stakes visual workflows. In film production, finding a specific continuity shot across thousands of files is an operational bottleneck. This platform treats photos as relational data, not just files.

The Technical Footprint (May 2026)

This is not a thin wrapper. It is a professional-grade application built with a strict quality gate:

• Backend: 287 PHP 8.4+ files (38,500 lines) enforced at PHPStan Level 8.

• Frontend: 131 TS/TSX files (26,967 lines) using React 19 and Vite 7.

• Database: 17 custom tables managed via dbDelta() with synchronous schema-version locking.

• Coverage: 488 PHPUnit tests and 1,741 assertions pinning the business logic.
