Meet Default Off - Chrome extension to manage camera and microphone permissions

A Chrome extension that automatically manages camera and microphone permissions for Google Meet, giving you control over your privacy by default. Now with two blocking methods and intelligent state detection for maximum reliability.

What I've learned from analyzing 100s of cold emails (as a founder, not a guru)

Hey PH community,

I'm a first-time founder, and my co-founder Krishna and I are hitting a classic wall. We're building a SaaS tool called Zapreach to help other founders with their initial customer outreach.

We love building the product, but we know that marketing is just as important, if not more so. The challenge is balancing our time. Every hour we spend on marketing feels like an hour we're not improving the product, and vice versa.

For the experienced founders here, how did you navigate this in the very early stages? Did you have a set schedule? Did you focus on one over the other?

Trying to validate a business idea: Embeddable Uploader for saas

With everyone vibe-coding and building SaaS products, will you pay for an embeddable uploader for your SaaS or just build it yourself?

The idea:

  • You would be able to connect any backend enterprise storage like: AWS S3, GCS, Azure blob etc. or any other storage

  • You get an embeddable uploader - a web component that you can add to your dashboard.

Whats in this for you?
