Really excited to try this out! I often struggle with typing (I simply don't have enough fingers to get past about 45 WPM comfortably) so in the long run I look forward to a voice-first interface as I publish many thousands of words every month.

Incredible product and team! Bland's latency is something you have to hear to believe.

I just met Phil at AI Engineer ... planning on using this when I move at the end of the year!

There's a great site called http://whopayswriters.com operated by the Compensation Foundation. Its mission is to help journalists understand if they are being paid fair market rates for their work. However, their terms of service forbids adding rates from the types of technical publications that I write for. So, inspired but not associated with their site, I made my own. If you are a software...

I created the first version of Cold Email for Interesting People as part of a 14-day product building challenge. While I was proud of what I had accomplished in such a short duration, over time I began to see the deficiencies in the product. I set out to create this second edition to upgrade Cold Email for Interesting People into a fully fledged member of my information product catalog. The...

One of my favorite things about being a part of the creator economy is just how dang helpful everyone is. Creators make whatever their main product is, but many take extra time to help other creators level up their skills and processes to achieve similar success. Randall joined Gumroad to do just that. She created a three creator challenges, which can be run as a cohort or worked through...

Congrats on the launch and thanks for choosing Gumroad!

Hi Everyone, Six months ago to the day, I launched Writing for Software Developers on Product Hunt. Today, thanks to Gumroad's 14DayProduct Challenge, I'm back with Cold Email for Interesting People. The first thing to realize is that sending a polite email to someone you don’t know is a totally reasonable and acceptable thing to do. The second thing to realize is that you don’t need to know...

Hi PH! I have been working on Writing for Software Developers for six months and I'm so excited to finally launch it! I set myself the goal of launching before my (now virtual) university graduation and I'm proud to have hit that goal by six days. Right now the book is 12 dollars off (launch pricing) and you can read chapter 1 for free at...

Cool product, echoing sentiment that the demo page is really nice. What kind of data protection and regulatory compliance does the product have? Also, tiny point of feedback, in the "Branching NPS" example, the sentence "We thrive at providing a best in class experience to all our users" isn't really a natural phrasing, I would say "We strive to provide a best in class experience to all our...

So does this also handle personal taxes for a freelancer / is that on your roadmap? Last year I had W2 and 1099 income, the 1099 income was through a Deleware LLC. I used TurboTax and filed for free (as a student) and so both my business and personal taxes were handled. What would be the advantage of switching to Keeper Tax this year, when I am no longer a student and will have to pay for...

Thanks for showing off the project! Questions: * What did you use to do the ads? * What's your input validation process? * Will there be any sort of search bar or button to add a company that isn't already on the list?

What API does apple expose in iOS that allows this fine-grain volume control? TBH I'm surprised that's an option that apps can set themselves, looking at Spotify and Overcast, for example, I don't immediately see volume controls.

Having an API for this is pretty cool, I would personally feature that more prominently on the website. Having the option to include or leave out paragraph tags is a nice touch that really shows that you're familiar with a variety of use cases for this. Ultimately I think the best use case for something like this would be a plugin for ecosystems like Atom and VSCode, in Atom there is a lorem...
