Connect with the Product Hunt community

Hi everyone!

Product Hunt x Google Cloud Run is back for another hackathon on Friday, November 20, and this round has a theme: Build for Good.

Every macOS release brings the same question: did Apple fix monitors and windows after sleep? I went through the macOS 27 release notes and the 27.x update notes, and the only multi-monitor fix is that the second of two identical displays might not light up. Nothing about windows moving after sleep or monitors swapping places, so the page lists what is fixed, what is not mentioned, and what still helps.

If you updated to macOS 27 with several monitors, I'd like to hear whether anything changed on your desk.

We teamed up with @GoogleCloud for a Cloud Run Hackathon October 14th!

To kick things off, we're celebrating on the leaderboard so you can meet the people behind Cloud Run.

For us, RunEvr is the environment where we actually build RunEvr =)

For me, that s one of the most beautiful parts of having a product - using it while continuing to build and improve it.

We do our everyday calls there, share ideas, chat, store files, do reviews, complete tasks

And all of this is happening inside the same environment we re building to help other teams do exactly that!
Kind of a mirror within a mirror =D

Thanks for following Comcent! Another short tutorial, one task each.

This one: a bot in front of your number's texts. You brief it in plain words, it answers your customers' questions, and it hands over to your team when the customer needs a person, with a short brief and a suggested reply.

What would you want to see in the next one?

Hi everyone!

I'm super excited to share our new visual launch editor. It's built to make launching on Product Hunt a lot easier.

Hey everyone

Our old launch guide was getting pretty outdated. Lots of things changed since it was written: the submission flow, the scheduling rules, how points work, and more. So we rebuilt it from scratch.

Do you have experience calling potential clients?

For us, it's time for active marketing and sales, so we're starting to reach out to studios and individuals who might have the problems RunEvr solves.

And for these calls, we're preparing questions to understand their problems more deeply first.

So, the structure of our calls or meetings should look something like this:

Sometimes when we keep adding new stuff to our app the main thing people actually came for gets lost in the clutter. I've been thinking about cutting down some of our extra tools just to keep the main screen clean and easy to use.

Has anyone here tried removing features from their product? Did your users complain or did it actually help them use the main tool more?

Back when our product was free, watching new signups roll in was the highlight of my day.

Now that we have paid tiers, having someone cancel after three weeks feels ten times worse than a visitor bouncing off the landing page.

When we were free tracking new user signups was super exciting. But once we added paid plans seeing a customer cancel after a few weeks felt way worse than someone never trying the app at all. Looking into cancellation feedback most users aren't leaving because of missing features. They're leaving because the app doesn't naturally fit into their daily work routine. Does that sharp pain of subscription churn fade over time or do you just get better at fixing workflow gaps?

A landing page can be ready in every respect except its images. We used a fictional pottery workshop page to see what two targeted photo swaps could do.

The original hero showed a still life. We replaced it with a workbench photo that makes the activity easy to picture. In the materials section, one bowl illustration brought the rim and glaze into view.

Dino Kids has no paywall, no ads and no in-app purchases. Our software company funds it as a community project, not a revenue line.

We assumed "free" would be the easy part. But free with no visible business model can read as a red flag: plenty of free apps make money from data or ads later, or simply disappear. If we were the parent, we'd ask "what's the catch?" too.

What we do today: a plain-language privacy page, saying openly who funds it and why, and not requiring an account at all. We honestly don't know which of these, if any, changes minds.

If you've built something free (open source, side project, community tool): what made people trust that it would stay free and stay around? And as a user, what makes you trust one?

Not the dramatic stuff that gets blocked. The quiet things you only notice an hour or a week later

Mine was two agent sessions working in the same repo. One of them went to clean up its own background process by matching the name and killed the other session's run too. No error anywhere. I just found a half finished job later and had to figure out why

Even Apple has stopped pretending AI features are free to run. I'd like to hear how other small teams are handling the meter, because I don't think anyone has this solved.

On 9 November Apple started selling what it calls intelligence usage packs. Per 9to5Mac and iClarified's write-ups, it's a $49.99 one-time purchase, sold first inside Logic Pro, for people on a Creator Studio subscription who have hit their monthly limit on the AI features. Apple's own terms page for the packs says they don't renew, expire 12 months after purchase, are non-refundable except where the law requires, and, in the line I found most interesting, that Apple "does not guarantee that a specific amount of the Usage Packs will result in the same output." The reports say Siri and general Apple Intelligence features aren't covered, and that the monthly allowance itself isn't stated in numbers.

Hi everyone!

After our launch on Nov 3 I went looking for how many sign-ups Product Hunt sent us. Our analytics said zero. That seemed wrong, so I checked: the "Visit website" link is marked noreferrer, so visitors arrive without telling your site where they came from. They land in "direct" traffic instead.

If you launched recently, you can't tell your Product Hunt sign-ups apart from people who typed your URL. The fix takes a minute: add ?utm_source=producthunt to your website link. There are two places to change: the launch's links and the product page's website link, which is what the "Visit website" button uses.

We're building NEXUPIRA, an AI team for small businesses, so every sign-up matters to us. Once we looked properly, search turned out to bring us more sign-ups than launch day did.

How do you track where your sign-ups come from? Did launch day or search do more for you?

Yesterday I wasted almost half an hour trying to get an AI assistant to fix a simple layout bug and it just kept breaking other parts of the page.

I finally got tired, opened the file myself and fixed it with two lines of code.

Sometimes prompting takes longer than just doing the work. How many tries do you give the AI before you step in and write the code yourself?

We all love using AI to write code faster but there is definitely a point where it starts slowing you down instead.

I noticed that when it comes to small UI tweaks or specific edge cases going back and forth in the chat can easily eat up twenty minutes for something that takes ten seconds to type manually.

Where do you draw the line in your daily workflow?

Do you have a strict limit on how many times you reprompt before taking over?

Ranking first on Google has traditionally been one of the main goals of SEO campaigns, especially for long-tail keywords with specific search intent.

However, the search results page is changing as AI Overviews appear above organic listings for many detailed queries.

You re already using AI for your work. What would change if your AI tools could share what they know, and a team of agents could pick up different parts of a project?
Join us for a practical, online session on building a team of AI agents with shared memory. We ll walk through a real Grok Bot workflow: give each bot a role, let them work from up-to-date project context, track their tasks in one place, and bring important decisions back to you for approval.
If you re ready to move beyond individual chats and explore how agents can support your projects, this session is for you. No coding is required.

Quick poll for founders (and anyone who tests out new SaaS tools): do you ask for a credit card upfront, or let people straight in?

We went with requiring a card for k dlo. The thinking was pretty simple: fewer signups overall, but higher intent people actually kick the tires instead of bouncing after two minutes. Without a card, you get a flood of accounts that log in once and ghost.

But I m genuinely torn here. A card wall definitely kills casual curiosity, especially when you're an unknown product. On the flip side, no-card trials often just give you vanity metrics that don't convert.

Two quick questions:

Hey everyone, Nathan here from CopilotKit

We re getting ready to launch OpenBot, a self-hostable workspace for AI agents with built-in governance.

You can bring agents your team has already built through AG-UI, connect tools through MCP, and choose your models and infrastructure.

For business teams, that means control over how agents work:

In the RunEvr team, we're all problem solvers.

I honestly don't remember an exciting problem we've left without a solution =D

Rankfender now tracks AI visibility in Arabic.

Arabic is the sixth most spoken language in the world. Around 400 million speakers across more than 20 countries. One of the fastest-growing digital markets on the planet.
