Here are my 5 (I couldn't function without them):

1. Grammarly proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication

2. ChatGPT / Claude mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising

3. Figma I can put the basic graphics together quickly.

4. Translator sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue

5. Gmail and not only for communication, but also for storing ideas and sending myself email reminders for posts

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)

Following up on the launch thread, few of you asked same good question:

transcript is immutable and redaction happens at share boundary, but doesn't local index still hold plaintext secrets at rest, so any agent/MCP client with read access (or synced backup) can pull old key straight out of search?

it is a logical deduction. scritty's model is not "your disk is the trust boundary." instead there's opt in at rest encryption on the local store one switch, pointed at a passphrase you hold (env var or OS keychain, never written to config) and the whole local store is encrypted, both layers, not just the transcript:

1. relational transcript + keyword index (SQLCipher): page level AES 256, each page authenticated with an HMAC so tampering is detectable, key stretched from the passphrase via PBKDF2.

2. vector index: XChaCha20 Poly1305 authenticated encryption, key derived via Argon2id, KDF params + salt bound as AAD. same passphrase as layer one so an old key buried in history isn't readable by another process, MCP client, or synced backup without it. fail closed -- passphrase absent > the store refuses to open, never a silent fallback to plaintext.

3. scope gating: per client. MCP access is by scoped token; hand an agent a token bound to a specific session (or set), and it can't widen to the whole corpus. cross corpus reads (e.g. corpus wide semantic search) are refused for that token, not silently honored. "one agent asking for everything" only works if you explicitly mint it admin scope.

Hi Product Hunt, some updates on Banger Mail after the PH's launch.
We started to receive great feedback and I'm personally onboarding a small batch of Mac-based teams that want to use Banger Mail on real shared inbox work.
This is not a subscription push. I want to see how your team handles support, sales, hello@, founders@, and other shared email workflows so we can make Banger better for the teams using it.
Right now this onboarding batch is for teams using Mac. If your team is on Windows, you'll need to wait for the Windows app launch, but reply and I'll make sure you're on that list.
If you start soon, I'll include: hands-on setup help priority feedback sessions an early-team credit on your first bill
If that sounds useful, just reply with:
- whether the people using Banger are on Mac today
- which inboxes you want to bring into Banger
- what currently makes team email painful for you

Small update for the people who ve been following Flowdy

A while back, I posted here looking for people to help shape Flowdy and some of you actually did. This is where that feedback led.

The honest problem with V1 was simple: it only helped merchants who already had content. Flowdy could turn blog posts and product descriptions into shoppable text, but if a store wasn t writing blog articles in the first place, there wasn t much to work with. And for a lot of stores, that s just the reality.

In the month that I've been here, I've been noticing a pattern in a lot of launches - strong demos, polished UI, clear outputs of "what it does."

But when I ask myself "What problem does this solve?" I sometimes have to dig for the answer. (I come by that thinking honestly - I've spent 33 years building and fixing businesses, so this is the lens I can't turn off.)

We ship constantly as a small team, and we've been on a roll launching to Product Hunt every week for over 2 months now for different features (see our launch history). Each time I worry it reads as "this again?"

Our current strategy: launch features like they're products. Give the feature its own name, own story, own audience, and don't lean on the company's history to sell it.

Thanks for the welcome on launch day! Appreciate the warm reception an insightful questions. A few clarifications on the most common asks + some onboarding updates:
Pricing: https://scritty.dev/#pricing - self serve individual and team pilot licenses are now live!

Personal Pilot (direct): https://buy.stripe.com/00weV56jD...

Team Pilot (direct): https://buy.stripe.com/4gM00b4bv...
Enterprise (k8s/managed deployments) isn't self serve as it needs a bit of setup on our side, so please reach out directly and we'll get you going
More onboarding polish landing this week -- including a deeper note on at rest encryption of the local store + per client scope.

For the past 3 months, I ve been building a LinkedIn extension that tracks activity and helps users avoid getting restricted or flagged by LinkedIn by quantifying their actions over time.

It s based on a problem I ve experienced myself, and (as bad as this might sound) I m hoping I m not the only one who has this problem.

Building a presentation in 2026 shouldn't look like this:

Search for inspiration
Write content
Design slides
Fix formatting
Fix formatting again
Fix formatting one more time

We're working on changing that. launching in few days stay tuned!

What's the step you wish could disappear forever?

No judgment, genuinely curious. How many of us asked ChatGPT for app ideas at some point, then ended up building one of them, or half-building it? The line between "my idea" and "the model's idea" got blurry this year. Where did your current project actually come from?

Everyone perceives entrepreneurship completely differently, and the weight of certain challenges varies from case to case. You always see things differently depending on the stage of life and business you're in, because your position is different each time.

• When I was a teenager my biggest problem was "What will people think of me when I will start doing this?"

• In my early twenties my biggest problem was "What if I can't figure out accounting, taxes, legal stuff?"

• Now I have a different problem how do I scale something?

How do the best investors identify exceptional founders before there's a company, product, or traction?

Tomorrow, we're sitting down with Alice Bentinck, co-founder and CEO of Entrepreneur First, to unpack exactly that.

Yesterday we recapped our past 3 months, and I would like to continue in accountability.

Whether you have personal goals or business/career goals, write them down in the comments and after a quarter, we will revisit what we have done. (And what we will push into Q4.) :D

Thanks so much for all the support on signspell!

One thing building this taught me: almost every gesture/action recognition project ends up rebuilding the same infra from scratch capturing frames, labelling landmarks, exporting clean datasets for training.

It s always scary comparing your own app against the competition especially in such a crowded and competitive field such as ad blockers!

Despite the hesitation, I ve once again looked at the competition and been as objective as possible to crown the Best Safari Ad Blocker in July 2026:

Saw a post from an 8-year dev this week. He said any junior with an agent now matches his output, and he feels no pride left in it. It got huge, because a lot of people quietly feel the same.

I read it from the other side. I'm a designer, not an engineer. For years "can you build this" meant "find someone technical and pray they stay interested." Usually they didn't. AI took the thing that hurt that dev and handed it to me.

Same shift. Loss from one seat, freedom from another.

I'm shipping a Mac app solo right now, as someone who can't write a backend from scratch. Two years ago that was a joke.

A few years ago, every career conversation started with one question.

"Can you send me your resume?"

In 2026, that question is slowly changing.

For me, it's usually Downloads.

Thousands of screenshots, random PDFs, ZIP files, invoices, images, and files named things like:

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.
What are you building? Drop it below

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 don t want to rant here (but I probably will a bit)...

Almost every ad visual, but also a lot of organic content on social media, is very generic and created by AI (I get it, it s a cheaper and more scalable way of promoting). But when everyone does it, it becomes really hard to stand out and differentiate yourself.

We know this situation exists, but not many people are openly talking about it.

Being in a highly competitive entrepreneurial environment is challenging on many levels... not only in terms of sales and business growth, but also legal responsibilities, administration, and often handling most things independently, all while managing family and personal stuff.

Of course, before making any such decision, you d need to research a lot of factors, such as the political environment, who runs the company (CEO, CFO, etc.), its past track record, competition in the industry, and so on.

Lately, many tech giants have been moving toward IPOs (because they need funding more than we do), which made me wonder: which companies do you think have real long-term potential on the market and are actually worth investing in?
