1,500 credits to put the agents to real work: sourcing, listings, ads, orders, support.

We'd love to hear what you think.

Thanks for checking out Audex Trace.

Trace is a small macOS app for Apple Music that shows what s actually playing not just the badge.

It can show:

• The actual playback format: AAC / ALAC / Lossless / Hi-Res / Dolby

• The Mac output sample rate

• Whether playback and output are matched

• Playing Next quality estimates

• Skip warnings before a queued track may fail or skip

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.

This Monday, The Incident Challenge is back.

New challenge. New product updates. Built directly from your feedback.

Last time, only 20% reached the correct fix.

I've been running Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex pretty heavily for the last few months and I keep hitting the same loop:

1. Start a task in one agent

2. Switch to something else (Slack, Twitter, another terminal)

There are a lot of products being hunted, launched, and competing for attention here.

But I still see some makers missing the very basics.

I absolutely love this platform.

The fact that I spend time here every single day is probably proof enough.

I think most AI governance conversations stop too early.

Teams talk about dashboards, usage charts, and prompt capture. Those are useful, but they are not the same thing as a trustworthy record.

The harder problem is this: if someone asks you six months later whether a block of code was AI-generated, can you prove the record still means what it said when it was created?

That is why we added two things in LineageLens: a provenance hash chain and a signed AI BOM export.

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.

Memory without version history is dangerous.

Your preferences change. Your beliefs change. Your context changes. An AI that learned you in 2024 and never forgot anything isn't helpful: it's stuck in time.

Hey Product Hunt,

I just shipped Privacy Watch in Room Service 1.4.0.

A lot of you have been asking. It's ready. If you're on Android and want to be one of the first to try Hayley, register here: hayleyapp.com/android

Would love to hear what it surfaces for you.`

A lot of people try to raise funding before they even begin.

And then sometimes I read those zero to hero stories. (Maybe they re a bit "polished" by the media to have publicity.)

In any case, building products has become much easier from a technical perspective, which also makes it cheaper especially for software startups.

Building Hayley has meant reading a lot of research on how people process decisions out loud.

The patterns that come up most: a relationship that needs a conversation you keep avoiding. A business decision that's already made but won't stop reopening. A version of yourself you're not sure you're living up to.

Curious what it is for the people in this community. Not looking for details, just the category.

There are founders you d love to NOT work for. And then there are founders whose company you wouldn t want to leave, no matter what.

A big part of that comes down to people, their values, and their character.

And often, that starts with the founder.

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

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

Hey Product Hunt

Almost 6 years ago, @Mailwarm launched here.

Back then, the idea was simple: help teams warm up their inboxes and build sender reputation before scaling email.

That launch changed a lot for us.
Mailwarm became #1 Product of the Day and Product Hunt helped us get our first real wave of visibility, users, and feedback.

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."

Last quarter, we built a feature at Murror that our engineering team jokingly called "the empty room." After a user finishes a journal entry, the AI doesn't immediately respond. It waits. For 30 seconds, the screen shows nothing but the user's own words and a gentle prompt: "Sit with what you just wrote."

No analysis. No reframe. No pattern recognition. Just silence.

For Bitgrain, we found that maximum users came from blog features! yes and to be exact, the new users spiked upto 8.8k on a single day (that was the highest) and all came from blogs! Currently the max source is organic search and ai responses.
Which channel is working the best for your brand?

"Data portability doesn't make money."

I heard this for years - from market leaders, from VCs, from people I respected.

"This is a regulatory problem, not a technical one." "This is a feature, not a product." "People don't pay for idealistic things."

<<Back story>>
In 2019, my team and I went deep into Self-Sovereign Identity: wrote research papers, ran experiments, and found ourselves at the intersection of data, identity, and web3. Right at that intersection lay data portability and sovereignty: the ability to own your data and take it anywhere on the internet.

2 significant things are circulating on the internet simultaneously this week:

• A tweet about how a human beat a machine (a 10-hour livestream in which a human sorted packages and compared it to the productivity of a robot).

• Or an announcement of a Microsoft AI chief that predicts AI will automate most white-collar work within 18 months.

While I don't think there will be a complete replacement of humans in either case, I do think we will see mass layoffs. My guess is that it will be white-collar jobs first.

Broken only by my trip to Burning Man in 2023 after which I got back on Product Hunt on September 8, 2023 I just hit my 1000 day streak again.

Which is a curious milestone, given that there was a day back in April where Product Hunt hit over 1000 products launched in a single 24 hour period.

Quick demo of Wallie actually doing its thing

It watches the screen and reacts live like a streamer gets jumped by a

skeleton, dreads creepers in the dark, swears it's "close to diamonds."

First-person personality, real-time voice, fully local.

So far, the impression I have of this community and maker circles is that you work every day.

Which is great, it s one of the reasons I m here.
