Lexington Themes
I have been redesigning 80+ landing pages on Twitter as a personal challenge, and 90% of them needed help with hierarchy on their layout. Therefore I built https://windstatic.com/ so it helps founders build a landing page quickly and coherent.

@michael_andreuzza solid! and did you decide building it based on the response you got from twitter?
Traveler Map
I like to code in the language that I'm not working on professionally, I like the outdoors and I like maps. This combination resulted with https://travelermap.net :)

@sushil_kumar_ keep it up sushil! what are you working on?
PromoteYourAI
@cederlund Building a mini-project that helps AI product founders with their SEO activities to get some fund that I could spend on my big project StackAI.
Copy Text Easily
I build products mainly centered around improving productivity.
I have been building products for a while and all of them are free and run on donations.
Recently I created my first paid product called viaNotion.
What inspired me to create that was the problem involved in managing and posting my notes, content, etc on social networks from Notion.
I wanted a seamless solution that helps me to publish my quick notes/text or well-planned content to Twitter and LinkedIn productively.
Addressing that problem I created viaNotion.com using which I can schedule my tweets/threads directly from Notion, including retweets, metrics etc I can handle from Notion
@basharath that's cool! thanks for sharing. so can i also save bookmarks or things that interest me from twitter and linkedin to notion through viaNotion?
Copy Text Easily
@cederlund Thanks. Actually, it is from Notion to Twitter not from Twitter to Notion. Tweet metrics will be auto updated in the Notion but not the bookmarks etc.
Content Quality Score(E-E-A-T)
We built the current tool(https://www.producthunt.com/upco...) based on our requirement to make landing pages easily and quickly.
the gap in the market
@andrewcanday nice! which market?
@danya_pashuk what are you working on? :)
Liftoffs
@cederlund I am currently developing Liftoffs - rocket launch schedule website. As a person who loves everything which is connected to space, I usually watch rocket launch broadcasts. The problem is that there are not many websites, which allow you to monitor them, and the ones which exist, have a lot of problems (tons of ads, bad design, not much information on missions etc.). So that’s why I decided to develop my own one, which would be super easy to use and would have a modern design with 3d elements.
If you are interested, please get notified about its launch on product hunt here -> https://www.producthunt.com/prod.... I would be really pleased :)
CRYPTO CRYPTO CRYPTO
I want to know how hot I am.
Give me the cold hard data. The crushing truth of strangers is all that matters.

A problem i had myself usually! Or a way in which a solution in one industry can be applied to make solutions in another industry way better
TheSprkl
We wanted to make the daily work of our team easier and more efficient - that was a starting point 😊
@oxana_ivanova that's nice! which daily work specifically? design? looking forward to your launch!
TheSprkl
@cederlund thank you! 🤗 yea, design and development. We were solving such issues as: saving time for more creative work instead of doing the basic one, simplify communication between designers & developers, creating the consistent approach on all projects and having junior teammates delivering great results, plus making the nice interfaces cost cheaper ✨
me and my partners were in crypto and biometrics space for a while, when we realised there's a huge gap in identification in web3
so combining our experience and some market research, we've came up with a unique solution that solves the dilemma of anonymous identification in web3 bringing peace to users and security to services
@maksim_holub1 interesting! i definitely think there is potential in identification through blockchain. i also think there is so much to do in proof of skill / certificates for skills you have or jobs you have done
TheWorkSage
Changing from Law to Business definitely wasn't easy. Is it a right fit for me? What would I work? How do I even apply for a job there?...
And since I don't want others to ask these questions for themselves, I started building TheWorkSage! :)
@veselin_kostov cool! so you are building a platform for law students to transition into starting their own businesses or applying for jobs? sorry if i misread that. curious to learn more
TheWorkSage
@cederlund Hey! It sounded more clear in my head I guess :D
I'm actually building a platform that will be a hub for anyone wanting to change/grow their career overall. Inside it, they can connect with people who can help them (people with expertise or coaches). Changing from law to business is only one case, but there are lots of different ones out there.
You can imagine it like Upwork, but for all things career-related.
@veselin_kostov got it! and do you plan to start with a niche? genuinely interested
TheWorkSage
@cederlund Thanks for the interest Edward!
I plan to start with only these 3 services available - career coaching, CV review, interview preparation. If they have lots of activity, more will be added in the future.
Btw, I checked MicroMove and it looks intriguing. Do you have a planned date to launch?
@veselin_kostov nice! I really like cv review and interview preparation! It might be good to focus in the beginning.
Appreciate the comments on MicroMove. No launch date in mind. We are testing it with beta users at the moment, do you want to try it out?
For me I'm kinda tired of all the basic photo apps out there. They all had the same filters and effects, and I felt like there had to be a better way to transform photos. So I started experimenting with AI and eventually came up with Purrfect AI. It wasn't easy, but I think the result speaks for itself.
lablab.ai
I couldn't find a good place to get access to all the new AI technology coming out. So I solved my own problem. :)
@simon_olsn solving your own problem sounds like a good deal :) so is it a newsletter you are working on?
