Today I launched #32 on PH and was thinking back to the first software product I made.
It was a simple .exe popup I sent to a few friends...they had to type 'Andrew is awesome' before it would go away 🤣
I was so pleased...

Product Hunt
The first software product I created was a Dreamweaver-built website of silly jokes and comics. I was so proud of my ugly little site in my teenage years. 😅

My first product was a prayer social network for my Christian friends to share & vote on prayer topics. Had no idea how to do web development and was learning and making at the same time. Little did I know that there are people on the Internet looking for web vulnerabilities who found a way to SQL-inject my entire database and nuke all users' passwords so I had to shut it down and focus back on my school work. :) I learned many things from that experience.
Arta Finance
DiamPrice, an iOS app that helps you calculate the price of diamonds. I made it for my father to use in his business and eventually launched it on the App Store. I wish I knew back then what I knew now because I would have been able to do a lot more with it!

@nguyendangtinh Visually a bit cluttered. Can you iterate?

My first one is Notice Hire where HR hunt people who serving in notice period.
I'm on the pause mode now but I'm recharging myself to launch series of products.
But recently I've started my personal domain and things are going well like I've enabled Adsense and getting decent users ( 1$/ Month ). I wanted to start multiple content blog to see if that generating revenue.
My coding skills are okay but I'm lacking the idea skills and validation so hence that pause.
Robot Recipes
@rajasimon congrats on that!
It was a single player pong. It had gravity and would speed up with time.

Today was my first launch on PH: Topia. It's a virtual world-building app with built in encrypted video chat.
Let me know what you think :)
RetentionX
Back early days of facebook: A facebook toolbar for Firefox. Showing you your facebook header with new messages & requests no matter where you were surfing the web.
Did the legal department approach you? (Badge of honor ;-) )
I built my first product in the year 1992 for managing the transportation of materials from one location to another. Inefficiencies in the manual process was causing a huge issue in the business.
My product reduced the transportation time (included, documentation, permit, license approval) from 43 days to 17 days within a month of the product implementation.
I instantly got a appreciation letter for the great effort.
Netclicker
A chat server and client all in one during college days, before social networks and internet were a thing. The college network admins found it difficult to get rid of off their network as everyone would be joining everyone, forming a mesh network. I was so proud to be part of the campus's increased "productivity levels", who knows, I could have been part of several couples meeting each other and having future kids now 😄
My first project was a clone of the website Evernote to take notes.
SecurePik
Its launching tomorrow at 12:01 PST. Pretty nervous!

@jessehojjensen Great! looking forward to it!

My friend’s summer job at a real estate agency in ~2012 was to manually input the prices of apartments and homes into a spreadsheet so that the company knew how to price their units.... so I built a Craigslist scraper utility which automated the process to sell to the real estate company. I tried to license it to the company, but they refused to pay a yearly fee and countered with a lowball (like $100 to own the code) so I put it away and now it gathers dust on a usb drive 😝

@zachary_blender gotta start somewhere 🤷🏼♂️
Mine was a CGPA and GPA prediction and calculation app I made for my college. It was on windows Phone so dead with the phone itself. Lol..
Robot Recipes
A website named SimplyMac in 1993, I covered such topics as Resedit and everything mac I could find. I was 11 at the time, and using some FTP server. I have searched for it on Wayback machine....but it can't be found. It EOL after I returned home from summer camp and found it to be no longer running. RIP ;-)
Big Weather
Haha, sounds awesome bud.
I assumed that everyone had the same first product. A HTML web page with neon flashing text and a dancing Jesus... No? Just me then
Morflax studio
Since I am new to PH and I have released my first product only today (https://www.producthunt.com/post...).
It is a browser-based interactive 3D tool to generate custom clothing mockups. You can easily customize a 3D digital avatar, its clothes, and background. Also, you can upload your design/artwork to it.
I have created this 3D mockup tool for brands that can easily show clothing designs to their customers using our digital avatars.
