You’ve built and scaled multiple successful companies across different technological waves—e-commerce, ad tech, and now AI automation. Looking back, what patterns have you noticed in how emerging technologies transition from niche innovation to mass adoption?

Super cool to see this launch. I remember thinking this would be a great next step in Product Hunt discussions back in the day. Great to see it come to life!

It's an interesting idea for sure but I'm not sure why I would want to chat to these "people". Every one I connected with was so miserable. Maybe some fine-tuning to make it less depressing 🥲

Hey Jakob! Thanks for doing this! Do you have any golden tactics for community-led growth especially when starting out?

Pretty cool idea! I've got something like 25 tattoos now maybe. Would have loved this at the beginning as I was super indecisive but now I just pick something on the wall the day of the appointment 🥲 I'm starting my thighs soon though and have a few designs I've been wondering on so will try this out!

Really love the introduction of the "clinical grade” hearing aid feature for users with mild to moderate hearing loss. When enabled, the over-the-counter hearing aid capability will boost specific sounds in real time, such as speech and other environmental noises. A new clinically validated hearing test feature will also be included in this update that can help to detect hearing loss.

I just bought a pair of Pros for the ANC and now the standard AirPods comes with it? Alongside that, the new earphones have a more pro look, a more immersive cinema-like sound and a longer battery life.

Have seen this thing do the rounds on social the past few days. The memes especially have been great. These humanoid bots are super cool but I'm begging them to make a Wall-E or Baymax assistant!

Love this. Recently found my old iPod classic and it made me so nostalgic! I love the click wheel and the whole aesthetic of this but the actual purpose speaks to me also. Can see myself reducing my phone usage ten fold if I pick this up.

Hey Stephen! This is pretty cool! Is it available to try now?

Okay, it's not as modular as I'd like but the approach is interesting. Why swap a case when you can swap the whole back panel? Alongside that there's an accessory port thing that lets you connect different tools to the back of the phone like a wallet or lanyard. In the US it will be $199 apparently but I've seen it as low as €69 in my country.

Really cool seeing noplace grab the number 1 spot in the App Store. Congrats @tzhongg!

This was blowing up on my Twitter feed yesterday. If you've been wanting to try out Gen-AI video but don't want to wait for Sora, this is definitely a good option!

Tons announced for iOS 18. Here's some of the highlights: - Apple Intelligence, a near ever present suite of AI features - Phots app gets new customization options - iMessage formatting and RCS support - New iMessage reactions - New customization tools including, icon themes, and ability to place app icons anywhere

Pretty big update here! I'm especially excited for the iPhone mirroring. The demo looked so smooth!
