I'll go first! Fedica has unique data and abilities for social media scheduling you can't get anywhere else. Plus, we were to first to do many things - but it all started with my founder Samir seeing there was no way to map your followers on Twitter!

I become parent almost two years ago, and i needed some simple buy reliable tool to help me track baby activities. But not only to track, but i also wanted support when i don't know what is happening with the baby. I wanted smart support :) So builded up BabyRecord. We will launch soon... All people (parents) are welcomed to try :)

Cool. Having built large online communities for 15 years, I always wished community platforms offered better engagement tools. That's why I built Jatra - a white-label community platform with multiple user-engagement tools to keep your users hooked. It lets you host discussions, blog posts, feedback, changelog, events, jobs, quizzes, polls - all on your community so that your users stay engaged with your brand/business. It has everything that I wished a community platform offered; and super excited about the possibilities it can bring. PS: I am onboarding our first users with eye-popping discounts and I'll be involved in building community for them. If you are interested, let me know. ( I am @thebigk on Twitter).

Due to the pandemic, we switched to a remote working model at our software agency. The collaboration on professional issues worked really well. But we very quickly realized that the physical distance had a very negative impact on the feeling of togetherness and the corporate culture. The employees no longer exchanged information outside of their work-related topics, and new employees no longer had the feeling of being part of a real crew. That was the starting signal for us to found our Startup, Crewting. Our Coffee Break Slack app turns isolated remote workers into deeply connected crews. The Coffee Break app creates bonding experiences, strengthens company culture, and is fun. Our app will soon be launched. Best of all, our app is permanently free for up to 25 users. https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

My Co-Founder was laid off from Silicon Valley Bank during the collapse last year and created what is now Jobsolv (launching today!) to help him and his colleagues land new jobs without all the stress!

Hey there! It's awesome to hear about Fedica's innovative approach to social media scheduling! As a fellow tech enthusiast and someone who's all about tackling real-world problems, I can definitely appreciate the value of unique data and capabilities in this space. Samir's realization about the gap in mapping followers on Twitter is a great example of how identifying a problem can lead to groundbreaking solutions. Keep up the fantastic work!🚀

It all started with a core belief: "time in the market" beats "timing the market" when it comes to investing. As an investor seeking diversification beyond traditional fiat currencies to combat inflation, I recognized the value of crypto exposure. 🚀Diversification Beyond Assets: However, simply diversifying by assets wasn't enough. We saw the unfortunate events like the FTX bankruptcy, highlighting the need for diversification beyond just cryptocurrencies. Institutional and exchange-level diversification became crucial for risk mitigation. 🚀The Birth of Comtrax: Enter DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) - a strategy to embrace regular, investments in volatile markets like crypto. But managing DCA across different exchanges with varying interfaces and limited DCA options proved cumbersome. 🚀The Solution - A Unified Platform: We envisioned a single platform, Comtrax, that simplifies this process. Users can manage sub-accounts on 7 reputable exchanges, keeping their assets secure within the chosen exchange itself. Comtrax utilizes APIs for swaps within sub-accounts, ensuring user control over their crypto. 🚀From Personal Project to Public Platform: What began as a personal DCA bot on a Raspberry Pi transformed into a business idea due to growing interest from friends. Now, after over 1.5 years in production, Comtrax boasts a user base with a combined portfolio value exceeding $140,000 built through consistent DCA. 🚀The Power of Demo & Community: The best part? Our free demo account allows anyone to explore Comtrax's functionalities without registration. We're excited to be launching on Product Hunt soon to connect with the community and introduce Comtrax to a wider audience! Made with love in Switzerland 🇨🇭

As someone who is happily employed, I kept hearing from different folks how hard the job market is. One thing I always hated writing was the cover letter, but when I had open roles I always appreciated the people who had written one, especially with more unique resumes. After browsing the market, I realized there wasn’t a great cover letter service that had a one time fee and didn’t force you to make an account, so aicoverletter.com was born!
