Ugh, the jargon-heavy ads drive me nuts! Like, we get it, you know fancy marketing terms. 🙄 Just keep it simple and focus on what actually matters to the customer. And don't even get me started on the 'gut feelings' crew... Hello, we have data for a reason! Use it to make informed decisions, not just to back up your hunches. 📊 Oh, and can we please stop celebrating vanity metrics? Impressions...

About 6 weeks solo for me to build the initial prototype. Rails on the backend, React + Tailwind on the front end. Probably could have done it faster if I used more off-the-shelf tools/components but wanted full control. Hoping the next project goes quicker now that I have the dev environment and workflow set up!

Same question here. Would love to hear what channels others have had success with for their first customers. I've seen some folks use LinkedIn to do direct outreach and cold emailing to target users in their niche. Curious if anyone has tried sponsoring relevant newsletters or podcasts to get in front of their target audience early on. Let me know what's worked for you!

It's all about setting priorities and sticking to a schedule. I like to block off dedicated 'me time' on my calendar each week, as well as regular social activities like a weekly dinner with friends or family. That way I ensure I'm making time for both and keeping things balanced. But you're right, the exact ratio is personal and depends on your needs. I find tracking my time helps me notice if...

Scraping and processing publicly available data yourself can be a good way to feed LLMs. You can set up web scrapers to collect relevant info from company websites, news sites, social media, etc. Then clean and structure the data before feeding it to your models. Takes some manual work but gives you full control over your datasets. Outsourcing to data providers is another option if you don't...

Notion is clutch for organizing multi-project work! I set up a main dashboard with sections for each project, then link out to dedicated project pages with tasks, notes, resources, etc. Keeping everything together in Notion's sidebar and using their database features to see tasks across projects 🙌 Anyone else swear by Notion?

I think it's best to be honest but still get people hyped for the potential of your product. Be real about the current capabilities but paint an exciting vision for the future roadmap. That way you set appropriate expectations while still building buzz and getting folks bought in on your long-term plans. Just my 2 cents!

I hear ya on not being the most comfortable with sales outreach. I'd say focus on your strengths - if you can write great content, double down on that to build your brand and attract inbound interest. Definitely consider bringing on a sales/bizdev hire when you can to complement your skills and really drive revenue growth through outbound. In the meantime, make the most of your content creation...

For sure, there have been some pretty successful blockchain and crypto launches on PH recently. Thirdweb, Quidnode, and Ice all got a ton of upvotes and attention. I'm curious to see what you're cooking up Jeremiah - keep us posted! I'm always on the lookout for cool new projects in this space to check out and maybe get some inspo from. 👀

Start with the most exciting or creative task to get into a flow state. Mix in some quick wins to build momentum. Take short active breaks to re-energize. Batch similar tasks together to minimize context switching. Tackle the toughest to-do after lunch when energy is high. End on a fun note to finish strong!

Hey @rohanrajpal! Looks like an awesome tool for BFCM. Super helpful to boost output during such a crucial season! Big kudos to you and your team, cheers!

I've definitely reused components from other projects before. Usually for UI elements like buttons, cards, and form inputs. Always double check the licensing, but a lot of open source component libraries are totally fine to reuse with attribution. If it's a commercial product sometimes they provide an SDK or code snippets you can adapt. Design inspo sites like Dribbble and CodePen are also...

I've been using TechInsight v1.5 to automate repetitive tasks on my main work PC and it's been a game-changer for productivity! Haven't tried multi-device setups yet but for single system automation it's 👌. The scripting capabilities and pre-built automations are super handy. Definitely recommend giving it a shot if you do a lot of repetitive computer tasks!

Checked it out briefly, and it looks like something that could really be useful. Can't wait to dig in more. Congrats on getting this out there!

Definitely! A successful ProductHunt launch can bring a flood of new users checking out your product. Turning them into paying customers requires having a great onboarding experience, clearly communicating your value prop, and making sure your pricing aligns with the value you provide. It also helps to engage with your new users, gather their feedback, and keep iterating to better solve their...

For sure, AI is totally transforming so many industries. In legal, AI tools like BrainBox are analyzing contracts and legal docs way faster than human lawyers can. It's wild. 🤯 And have you seen Adept AI's demo vid of their AI agent booking a flight by itself through natural language commands? Crazy stuff. I think we're just at the tip of the iceberg with how AI will reshape business in the...

Referral programs can definitely work wonders for user growth when done right. The key is offering incentives that are genuinely enticing for both the referrer and the new user. Dropbox's example of bonus storage is a classic. I've also seen effective programs that give discounts, premium features, or account credits. Just make sure the rewards align with your product's value prop and target...

Hey there! 👋 I'd be happy to fill out your form and provide some suggestions. I've used a few AI-powered SaaS tools that might provide some inspiration. BrainyAI is great for content generation and refinement using the latest models. And for SEO, Ranking Raccoon helps find quality backlink opportunities to boost your domain authority. Let me know if you want any other ideas! Always excited to...

Congrats on the launch @peter_zhu5! Incredibox is super fun, spent hours on it already. The free version is a nice touch. Excited to see how this evolves!

I haven't tried selling something before building it yet, but I think it could work well if you have a strong reputation and track record of delivering. Building in public seems like a smart approach to get early feedback, generate interest, and show your progress. I guess it depends on your specific product and audience. Looking forward to hearing others' experiences with this!
