Connect with the Product Hunt community

We teamed up with Vercel and we want you shipping this Friday.
May 15 is Vercel Day. Launch your product on Product Hunt that day with the Vercel Day tag and you're on the official Vercel Day leaderboard alongside every other builder going live that day. Top launches win prizes and get serious visibility from a crowd that's already paying attention.
This is the move if you've been waiting for a reason to launch. You've got four days.

Vercel Day is tomorrow May 15 and if you've been sitting on a launch, this is your window.

Schedule your Product Hunt launch for Friday and be sure to add the Vercel Day launch tag to be included on the official Vercel Day leaderboard. That's where the eyes are going to be. Here's what's on the table for top launches:

1. I've always been on the personal brand side. More and more founders are building it now (sometimes even before the product is ready while it's still in development, before seed fundraising). The CEO builds their position so the product sells more easily at the official launch.

2. But I have experience with people who built the product, scaled it, and only then did we discover who was behind it.

Honestly, with the first approach, I'd be concerned that people invest more in me as a person than in the product. People would idealise the founder and overlook the product's flaws (which could hurt development and constructive feedback).

+ I noticed the most common mistake that many people who started building a personal brand first, connected their product to their personal accounts (emails, social media, etc.) and started having a problem selling these things, because they cannot "give someone keys" to their personal profiles.

We are live! Three hours in and the demo is already getting some traffic.

For anyone just discovering us: Klava AI reads construction contract preambles with AI, cross-references every position against them, and flags the gaps before bidders ever see the document. Then when bids come in, it compares all positions automatically and surfaces outliers instantly.

AI is incredibly good, I d even say almost perfect.

And for many people, that uniformity of perfect templates is starting to feel annoying.

Folks, thank you so much for your support today - we're at number 5, ahead of huge companies like Notion and Meta :oo never expected this!
Every bit of support from you will count to hold the spot and aim higher. Thank you infinitely for your upvotes and comments today!

We've teamed up with @Y Combinator or to give builders one more chance.

Launch on Product Hunt this Friday, tag your post "YC application" @gustaf will personally review the top launches. One or more will walk away with a YC interview, even though the official deadline has passed.

I'll go first,
During the launch of @Bitgrain , I thought maybe some 10 20 people might upvote or it can be even lesser, Surprisingly it got featured and the numbers went up crazy! I got mails from people who loved the product. It was unexpected but loved it!
btw do see @Bitgrain : )

What motivates you to build your product? For me with @Bitgrain, it's my passion for creating with graphics. I needed a tool to make grunge posters myself, so I built one, and figured, why not share it with everyone else?
What's yours ??

I'll be honest I've never liked the feeling that someone "owns" me.

So being employed was very distant to me. [As if I had no power over my income.]

But the race is getting really close now

So every bit of support truly matters for our small team right now

@Bitgrain had an entire design update through the whole week (with lots of bug fixes too!) It seems we are getting in a better shape : ) If you are a designer, you might as well try it today hehe <3
https://bitgrain.diptanshumahish.in Go ahead :)

We thought we were ready.

Bigger deals. Fewer customers. Better margins. That was the dream.

So we built enterprise features. SSO. Advanced permissions. Audit logs. A whole new pricing tier starting at $2,000/month.

We spent 6 months. Three engineers. One dedicated product manager. Endless meetings about "enterprise readiness."

Hey everyone, posting an update to anyone who followed the launch.

v0.9.0 just shipped and it's the release I'm most excited about. The headline: discli can now sit in a Discord voice channel, transcribe every speaker live with their display names, and stream the transcript to disk or to your AI agent in real time. Meeting notes that write themselves, from the terminal.

Last week, @Kilo Code launched for the fourth time on Product Hunt, introducing a new VS Code extension. The product ranked #1 Product of the Day and #1 Product of the Week.

I had the opportunity to work on this launch. Here's a breakdown of what we did and how to apply it to your launch.

Added a few new features:

Spotlight
Auto zoom + cursor tracking (can also be controlled manually)

you can go onto the ExploreYC platform, put your email and start receiving emails every day with:

• newly added companies

• companies that just started hiring

how are we doing it? we are comparing the snapshot of companies yesterday vs. today and detecting the dif.

The open-source file sharing tool for people who actually care about privacy.

Ever sent sensitive data through email? Or watched your files sit on someone's cloud forever? We built BurnLink because the alternative to privacy shouldn't be inconvenience.

The Problem

Hi Everyone

Yesterday was honestly one of the most meaningful days for our team since we started building Memoket! We launched on Product Hunt, and thanks to all of you, Memoket Gem finished as the #1 Product of the Day. We're still letting it sink in.

When we opened the second round of our Founding Member beta program here on Product Hunt, we had 50 spots to give away to founders, makers, and SMB owners who wanted to help shape the product before mass production. We expected the spots to fill up over the course of the day. Instead, the 50 were claimed in the first couple of hours, and by the end of the day we received many times more applications than we'd planned for.

We didn't expect that level of response, and we're genuinely grateful for it. It tells us we're solving a problem people feel deeply, and it gives us a tremendous group of early users to learn from.

We re trying something new on Thursday: Alpha Day.

The idea is simple. If this is the first time you re launching your product anywhere, you can tag it alpha and get a boost to your points (and land on a special leaderboard).

Today we're announcing our $50M Series B, led by Peak XV, with participation from YC, M12 (Microsoft's Venture Fund), Kleiner Perkins, and our earlier investors. It brings our total funding to $72M. The round closed on the back of a year in which our enterprise revenue grew 10x, and our agents crossed 1,000,000,000 calls handled.

Read their announcement.

We pulled 18 months of churn data from 1,247 B2B SaaS accounts. We interviewed 100 of them. We looked for patterns.

The common assumption is that people leave because of price or missing features. That is not what we found.

Here is what the data said.

A lot of makers come out with bold claims about their idea: THE NEXT BIG THING.

In most cases, surprisingly, it s not even the next small thing. People simply don t notice it.

searchable companies, a live hiring board, an idea-validator that finds similar YC bets to whatever you're working on, a gamified success-prediction tool, and email digests for new batches.
all of it is live at https://github.com/KonstantinMB/...
all of it is now in the repo, MIT-licensed: React 19 + FastAPI + Supabase, OpenAI embeddings, Perplexity for research, deployed on Vercel and Render.
why open it up: the PH launch made it clear there's an audience of YC-curious builders who want to dig deeper than what the hosted site shows them.
some of you want different filters. others want a CLI.. others want to plug in their own data sources or fork it for a different accelerator.
I can't build all of those but you can.
got a feature in mind? open an issue. want to ship it? Open a PR

Huge thank you to everyone who supported our Product Hunt launch yesterday

Seeing people give feedback and follow along this early genuinely means a lot to us.

For anyone new here, Ota is an open-source CLI for repo readiness focused on one idea:

making the first working run repeatable.
