Our first-ever Product Hunt Makers Festival has been a celebration of creativity with teams and individuals from all corners of the globe coming together to launch something. Our showcase last week had close to 100 projects across our six themes: social impact, remote workers, voice and audio, health and beauty, inclusion and brain stuff. Makers also built awesome products outside the six categories!
We were so impressed with all of the projects that came out of this yearโs Makers Festival. In fact, we're already planning the next one ๐

ICYMI: If you want to work at a promising startup, this list is a great place to start. Itโs a roundup of the latest โhigh potential and high growthโ companies on a breakout trajectory (and a lot of them are hiring). ๐
If youโre selling to larger customers, your application needs to support enterprise features like single sign-on (SSO), Directory Sync (SCIM), fine-grained authorization (FGA), and role-based access control (RBAC). Essential for security, but incredibly complex to build in-house. Donโt waste time integrating everything by hand โ let WorkOS simplify the process with easy-to-use APIs. Fast-growing startups, like Vercel, Perplexity and Webflow, already do. Get an enterprise plan in a box, ready to go in minutes, with WorkOS.
