I certainly like the idea of not having to deal with OAUTH integrations! As a developer, what would make me more excited about this is to see some code samples that show me how this saves me time and also allows me to have control over the experience I want.

My favorite approach is to build a landing page for my project and then send paid search traffic (i.e. Adwords) to that page. This allows me to get very quick feedback. The benefits: 1) Quickly learn if the product that I'm plan on building or built is something people are interested in. It forces me to do my marketing homework upfront instead of at the end. 2) Through analysis of the data,...

I wouldn't say that you'll find any tools that will magically get you to page 1. If they do, it's because they're doing whats called "blackhat" tactics, which will likely get your site penalized at some point. I'd recommend checking out https://moz.com/ Their pro tool will analyze your site and provide recommendations of how you can optimize it from a technical standpoint. In addition to...

Almost ever product you try to think of will likely have a competitor in it. It's rather rare that you will think up a new idea. What does matter is if you can build and market a better product than your competitors, especially one with a unique value proposition. If you're worried there will not be enough room for you in the marketplace, think again. We all underestimate how many competitors...

Yes, it's difficult to find a co-founder in general, regardless if they're technical or not. I think it's similar to dating in that respect. You end up looking for someone that shares common values, principles, goals, and dreams. Finding that match takes time or luck. You have to be patient, but also get out there and look for someone. Most importantly, you can't beat yourself up when you...

In addition to the usual things, such as eating well, exercising and resting, I also practice self-compassion. In other words, I try to be as kind to myself as I am towards others, not beating myself up for mistakes I make or using cognitive distortions (i.e. irrational thoughts that can influence your emotions). This is especially important when building a business and products since it can...

The iPhone, because it gave way to the app store, freeing us from all the previous crappy phone experiences. Think about how many industries and new products were created from that product. Amazing.

I like premise of this web site. The design is nice and the site is easy to navigate overall. Here are some suggestions: 1) Remove the yellow privacy prompt at the top of the page. It's distracting and makes me feel as if I should take some immediate action. The same prompt can be moved to the bottom of the page and muted color scheme would be better so users are drawn to your content. 2)...

I think that page is too wordy. I like the image on your homepage (https://www.lessssscard.com/), which immediately made it clear to me what your product is. I'd suggest making a new landing page, which includes that image, plus a headline that connects people with why it's important to have your product.

A few ideas from my observations over time: 1) Make a quality product. Hate to be obvious here, but if you launch an overly complicated buggy product, you will not get traction. A product that is simple, solves a real problem, is easy to use, and just works will always win. 2) A product that the Product Hunt audience is likely to utilize or find value in. If you've posted a product and it...

This question depends a lot on what success metrics you're trying to make a difference on. What is your primary goal for the site? Some context into what you're working on would help. Secondly, requiring someone to signup for an account causes friction in their experience. Friction causes frustrations, so your goal should be to always reduce or eliminate friction whenever possible, even if...
