Connect with the Product Hunt community

Let me start from the creator s perspective:
I personally don t have a product (apart from hiring people for creative work or offering personal consultations).

But as a creator, I constantly share content, insights, and information, value that helps me build trust (for free). Based on that perceived expertise, people eventually decide to work with me (a paid service).

With the advent of clawdbots, it's as if we've all lost our inhibitions and "put our lives completely in their hands."

I'm all for delegating work, but not giving them too much personal/sensitive stuff to handle.

With AI bots getting harder to detect, there s been growing discussion around platforms using biometric verification (like face scans) to confirm real users.

Cool in theory... Reddit is full of bots, fake accounts and garbage engagement. But let s be real

Reddit without anonymity isn t Reddit.

We're enhancing Rankfender's Content Generation Engine (RCGE) and v2.2 is coming in the next few weeks. Before we lock things in, we want to know what actually matters to people who use content generation tools.

Here's what RCGE already does:

• Intelligence. It analyzes the top 10 ranking articles for any keyword and identifies patterns. What structure do they use? What headers? What formatting? What makes them get cited by AI? Then it builds a brief based on what actually works, not guesswork.

• Structure control. You can add, remove, and reorganize H2s before generation. No fixed templates. You decide the flow.

• Inline images. Generated articles include images, not just text walls.

• Regeneration. Mess up one paragraph? Regenerate just that part. Not the whole article.

What we're adding in v2.2:

Hey Product Hunt!

We ve all been there. You design a beautiful, complex layout in Figma, only to have it die a slow death during the "handover." Either the developer says it s impossible, or you spend three days fighting with nested tables and inline CSS to get it to look half as good in an inbox.

After launching Room Service, one thing became very clear:

I was on a call with a founder and they asked me to turn on my camera on Google Meet.

I said no citing that they have brought in the call recorder without my consent. I consent for voice recording and summarizing, not video capture.

I'll go first.

Someone told me: "Just be consistent. Post every day. The algorithm rewards consistency."

So I did.

For six months, I posted every single day. Sometimes at 7am. Sometimes at 10pm. Weekends included. I wrote about our product, our features, our roadmap. I followed all the "best practices" hook in the first line, three takeaways, call to action at the end.

If you re still sitting on your launch, this is the push.

YC made a special exception for this community: one or more companies that launch tomorrow will get a YC interview and potentially funding. A YC partner will review every eligible launch.

I've noticed a trend where CEOs of well-known companies are investing more in their personal brands on LinkedIn and X.

However, the level is increasing, and they want something similar from employees.

Last month, I did something that felt slightly insane.

I took our product description, fed it into ChatGPT, and asked it to build a competitor. Not a parody. A real competitor. Better features, better positioning, better everything. I told it to be ruthless.

It did!

The output was polished. Confident. Structured like a real go-to-market plan. It named features we don t have. It positioned itself against us. It looked like a threat on paper.

When we started building Murror, I made the same mistake most AI founders make: I marketed the technology.

"Powered by AI." "Smart algorithms." "Personalized insights." All the buzzwords. And you know what happened? Crickets.

I've been going through hell for the last month. I was banned from LinkedIn for excessive activity.

• For 24 hours

• For 48 hours

• For 72 hours

• For 168 hours - currently waiting until Tuesday, 10 PM CET.

The only useful advice I've received from support is to be less active.

There are so many launches on Product Hunt every day. How do you decide which ones are worth clicking into?

What s your #1 filter or shortcut?

"Enter any web address! Test any prompt!" PMs and designers more often than not just Freeze when confronted with an empty input box. This has gave us pause. We intended to launch VibeCheck today but we are delaying to build clickable demos showing how teams can compare their results with competitors.
Now that building is so fast, validation is the new bottleneck. Creating your interface and variants may take seconds, but the main challenge remains verifying what your audience can achieve.
Adding demos and canned prompts, helped designers find their rhythm on our Figma plugin. We need to do the same on the web interface to help PMs and Founders 'learn by doing', but also 'learn by seeing' on web URLs.
Since we can only launch once a quarter on PH, we've pushed our Vibe Check launch back to March 31st, launching with demos

TL;DR: Anthropic refused to sign a contract with the Pentagon that would have allowed the U.S. military to use all of its models without restrictions. Anthropic insisted on an exception, and brace yourself, that its models cannot be used: 1) for mass surveillance of citizens, 2) for autonomous killing. Now the administration is threatening that if the founder of Anthropic doesn't change his mind by a certain date, they will come after him.

Google, OpenAI, and Musk (Grok) have all signed the contract.

Following Sam Altman's announcement over the past few hours, people have been speaking out massively about cancelling their OpenAI subscriptions and subscribing to Claude.

I am a Computer Science student doing research into how solopreneurs and small startups create new apps and what their stack looks like. Particularly, I'm interested in how you handle things like authentication, billing, and permissions/authorization in your apps.

Let me know what you're working on below and how you're going about it -- I'd love to connect for some quick calls to learn about your product and talk about your process in building it!

hi everyone! blown away by the response here, thank you for 110 upvotes and a bunch of thoughtful comments

a few features were asked for, that I will be actively working on -

based on your feedback:

Our users have been asking for this integration since day one, especially after Krisp added an AI note taker to its Voice AI app. In fact, it got 6x more votes than the second most-requested integration.

Which naturally leads to the next question: why did it take us so long to build?

a lot of AI coding discussions focus on before or after

Hey PH community, looking for feedback.

Hello Inbox is an email deliverability platform helping businesses reach the inbox (think GlockApps).

When we started building Murror, we did what most technical founders do: we disappeared into code for months.

We built an emotion analysis engine. We refined our NLP pipeline. We designed beautiful dashboards. We were so proud of what we had made.

I ve been browsing Product Hunt a lot lately, and honestly it s getting overwhelming.

There are so many launches every day that it s impossible to sign up and try everything. At some point, you just run out of time.

Hey all,

I wrote a forum post not long ago on marketing as one of the rising in importance hires for all startups. This is all the things we've done, with some results and free resources.
