This could be related to your industry, or even a side project you're working on.

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

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.

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)

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?

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?

Something you thought was a great idea at the time, but looking back you'd do completely differently.

Could be:
Launching too early
Launching too late
Building features nobody asked for
Not talking to users enough
Focusing on the wrong metrics
Having zero launch plan

Let's help each other avoid painful lessons.

What's your story?

For me, it's usually Downloads.

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

final_v2_FINAL_really_final.pdf

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.)

Yesterday, I announced that I'm getting ready to launch my MVP.
For now, it'll only be a beta version, but I'm already thinking about things like pricing, plans, and all that fun stuff.
Right now, these are the options on the table:

• Freemium model (some features free, the rest behind a paywall)

• Monthly plan ( 7)

• Annual plan ( 59) with a discounted coupon

• Multi-license packages

What would you criticise, change, or add to the pricing? If you know about a very good plugin I can inspire from and build my own according to it, please, drop them in the comments  I want to learn from the best.
My second question is about dealing with users who complain about pricing. From what I've seen while working with another app, people always seem to have something to say:
"Make it free."
"It's too expensive."
"Do you have a discount?"
And one thing I see a lot: people strongly prefer lifetime plans (should I consider one?)
If you have any tips on how to handle these kinds of comments from users, I'd love to mentally prepare myself in advance. :D

Vercel Day has wrapped, and the results are in. Huge congrats to the teams that walked away with access to $30k in Vercel credits:

MakersClaw hire AI employees that live in your Slack, Teams, and Telegram.

Edgee Turbo Models run Claude Code with Kimi K2.7 Code, MiniMax M2.7, and more.

GitHits beta 0.9 give your AI coding agent real access to open-source code.

Every maker hits the same wall. You ship a feature, users have questions, and you end up copy pasting the same answers across email, Discord, and Twitter DMs all day. That s hours you should be spending on the product itself. This is exactly why I built Lyqn AI. It learns your product, answers instantly, and never sleeps. No more repeating yourself. No more support tickets piling up while you re trying to ship. The part I m most proud of is the WhatsApp bridge. A user can start chatting on your website, then continue the exact same conversation on WhatsApp without losing context. Most people don t live in your chat widget. They live in WhatsApp. So your support should follow them there. If you re running a product and drowning in repetitive support questions, this is for you. Check it out and tell me what s missing. Building this in public, so every bit of feedback shapes what comes next.

Folks, just released an update with support for more airlines, better reliability and now available on Apple Watch!

Hello! In the last month, we've added several new sources that Recall supports. You can find the full list of everything we support here.

Everything you save is automatically summarized and organized for you, and the best part is you can chat across all of it. Whether you're drafting an email, finding recipe inspiration, or just using Recall as your everyday chat, your sources come first and the internet second. Save more, and watch your own knowledge resurface when you need it.

Over the past one, 2, or even 3 decades, technological development has accelerated dramatically thanks to the digital revolution.

But some technologies generate a lot of hype and still don t seem to have reached mass adoption or shown enough long-term potential. For example, that s how I currently see wearable glasses.

On the other hand, technologies and concepts like the internet, social media, artificial intelligence, and perhaps even Bitcoin have already had a profound impact on society.

Every few years someone declares the spreadsheet dead. Notion was going to kill it, then Airtable, then a hundred AI tools, and now agents are supposedly going to make it obsolete too.

But Excel is 40 years old and still runs most of the actual decisions at most actual companies. I'd bet it outlasts almost everything launching on this site this year, including a lot of stuff I love.

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

Hi Product Hunt. I am Elitza and I am the founder of own.page. We launched on Product Hunt 20 days ago, and since then, it has brought us more than 1,900 signups.

I waited a long time before launching own.page here. Not because I didn t want to, actually, I wanted it a lot. But Product Hunt always felt like one of those big platforms where, if things go well, it can really change the momentum of a product. And because of that, I kept delaying it. For more than 6 months. I was thinking too much. What if the day is too competitive? What if nobody cares? What if we launch and nothing happens?

On X, I often saw people saying Product Hunt is dead. That it doesn t bring traffic anymore. That launches don t matter like they used to. But still, I wanted to do it no matter what people are saying. Before this, I had launched own.page on smaller launchpads. And yes, they helped. They brought some users, some traffic, some attention. I m grateful for that. But honestly it was nothing like Product Hunt.

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.

Everyone here will probably feel identified with this:

You just finished building the first version of the product.

And got a dozen or so people who are kind enough to say yes to try it out.

CipherLock v1.2 is here. Same promise (encrypt and learn, 100% in your browser, no accounts, no tracking), with a lot of new things since launch.

SHARE AN ENCRYPTED MESSAGE WITH A LINK

Encrypt something, copy the link, send it. When the other person opens it, CipherLock fills the tool and reveals the message automatically, framed right where you can read it. The encrypted payload travels inside the URL fragment, so it never reaches any server. Native share sheet on mobile, WhatsApp and X on desktop, or just copy the link.

Saw this Reddit post today and it hit so close to home.

I've had this exact conversation multiple times. AI Memory is a topic that people get instantly. There are many people who have open-sourced basic AI memory layers and published their own GitHub repos.

Just shipped the biggest @DevCleaner update yet.

Project Hibernation lets you archive projects you are not actively working on, off your disk into a single file, and restore them in one click whenever you need them. It handles dependency reinstall on restore, is iCloud aware, and verifies every archive before touching the original.

Any last advice before we go live?

From your experience building or using tools:

what usually makes a launch actually work and not just go live ?

would love to hear real lessons

Hey guys!
Only 1.5 hours left, and we re currently competing for the #1 rank. Would really appreciate a little support from your side to help us reach the top.

Thanks a lot for all the love and support!
