I became among the first solo-founders in my country to receive official funding from a VC.

How?

I've spent the last decade running Guyman Studio (animation/design - 5,000+ projects).

We launched our product on Product Hunt on 5th February 2026. Our entire team was extremely intense, excited, and honestly a little nervous. We had prepared for weeks, but nothing truly prepares you for the energy of launch day.

One surprising moment? When the day started, there were a lot of strong products launching alongside us. It immediately became clear how competitive the platform really is. And the most interesting (and stressful) part we couldn t see competitor vote counts for the first 4 hours because they were hidden. That period felt very long. We had no idea where we stood, and that uncertainty tested our patience.

It turned out to be one of the most intense yet rewarding days for our team.

Before launch day, we believed success was mainly about having a great product. But after going through the entire experience, we realized that launching on Product Hunt is much more than just clicking the publish button.

No hunter. No teaser page. No pre-launch community building. No influencer outreach. No Loom demo (the demo only works in Chrome, so... yeah).

I've been heads down building for years and basically ignored every "how to launch on Product Hunt" checklist that exists.

What I did do is build something I genuinely believe has never existed before.

Cachee.ai is the world's first cache infrastructure that predicts your traffic before it happens 30 minutes ahead and deploys capacity autonomously before you ever feel the load. No human in the loop. No scrambling at 2am.

Hey,

Just published a free playbook for developers integrating wearable data into health apps.

What's Inside The Playbook:

Hey PH I'm Felipe, independent AI researcher from Brazil. After +2 years of theoretical work, I just launched Aletheion-Prime an AGI system built on geometric cognition instead of parameter scaling.

The core idea is radical: instead of making LLMs bigger, I wrapped an 8-layer geometric architecture around them. Cognition lives on a 5D Riemannian manifold. The result: cognitive properties that no one programmed emerge from the math itself.

What emerges:

One thing I ve consistently seen with Product Hunt launches is that most teams don t fail because of the product. They struggle because they launch in isolation. No feedback loop. No prep support. No real conversations with people who have done it before.
That s why we re opening a new WhatsApp group inside TOPTeam: The Open Product Team focused entirely on Product Hunt launches.
This is a dedicated space where product builders help each other:
- Prepare for upcoming launches
- Share Product Hunt links and launch plans
- Exchange honest feedback on positioning, copy, and visuals
- Support fellow makers on launch day and beyond
No noise. No vanity metrics. Just builders helping builders launch better.
If you re planning a Product Hunt launch. Or thinking about one in the future. You re welcome to join.
Comment PH Support and I ll share the invite link.

After more than 2 years of intense work and late-night grinding, this is the moment - Nucleify officially goes live tomorrow.
What is Nucleify?
Nucleify is a platform built primarily for developers - think of it as a modern alternative to WordPress, but faster, cleaner, and built with today s technologies. No legacy code. No outdated architecture decisions from 10+ years ago.

You get more control over your code, better performance, and a developer-first experience - without fighting the system. It s designed to give you flexibility when you need it, while still making shipping fast.

It really feels good to build applications using AI tools. It s fast and it looks good! I built one myself(simplomail.com) and I love it .
But to keep these AI tools from breaking things, I had to write .
And now that my application is in production, . Because so many times, to make one feature work, it decides to change another feature and breaks it.
I still move way faster than I used to when working without AI tools, but I definitely slowed down enough to keep my application from constant breaking changes.

Hey! I'm Matt, and today I'm launching shadcndesign - the complete shadcn/ui toolkit I wish existed when I needed it.

Quick backstory: I spent 7 years building Figma resources for 100,000+ designers and maintaining the Ant Design System. When I went looking for a proper shadcn/ui kit for Figma, everything I found was either outdated, poorly built, or abandoned. So I decided to build it myself.

Here's what shadcndesign includes:

• 2,000+ Figma components that perfectly mirror shadcn/ui code -- auto-layout, variants, Tailwind CSS variables, the works
