We’re launching today on PH: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/uxpin-merge-build-uis-8-6x-faster It’s a pivoted product, because we’re exposing ourselves to a new audience — developers. To help them build UIs, we added an AI Component Creator (with OpenAI API), Layout templates, patterns, and four new open-source libraries (Tailwind UI, MUIv5, Ant Design, React Bootstrap). I’m curious — how you handled your pivots? Wish me luck with my launch!

Hey there, fellow tech enthusiast and startup aficionados! 🚀 Gurkaran Singh here, diving headfirst into the exciting world of pivots with our latest launch on Product Hunt: [insert link]. As we pivot our product to cater to developers and empower them with tools like an AI Component Creator using the OpenAI API, layout templates, patterns, and new open-source libraries, I can't help but wonder: how have you navigated the treacherous waters of startup pivots? Being someone who has danced with technology across various industries like edtech, supply chain, accounting, and government, I know the exhilarating highs and challenging lows that come with reinventing your product. From tweaking code to tinkering with circuits, it's all part of the journey. Currently geeking out over data science and embedded programming, I'm eager to hear your strategies, war stories, and maybe even a sprinkle of humor on how you've tackled pivots in the past. So, share your wisdom, sprinkle some good luck charms my way for the launch, and let's rock this pivot together! 💪🏼🚀
