I am a tech person. So many software products are inspired by recognizing a problem or inefficiency in the world that could be solved or improved with technology. This might be a personal frustration or a gap in the market that hasn't been addressed adequately.

@martzoukos Very sorry to hear Spiros. I hope you'll bounce back soon. Apologies, I don't quite follow. Are you working on an app to help people find jobs?

This is going to sound weird, but to some degree, Matthew Perry's death.

Distraction. I am working on my community platform and began building a new feature. Realised that it could be a stand-alone product itself and built it over the next 4 days. Now I'm giving it finishing touches, integrating payments and planning to launch on PH early next week.

@thebigk Looking forward to your launch. Many spinoffs end up bigger than the main project. Slack and Flickr came to mind.

@jgani You are right, Jonni. The problem is I'm still working on the main project and it's not launched yet. That's why I called it distraction. I figured that I could built it as a separate product very quickly and therefore began building it. Very happy with the progress. Will demo it here on the community before PH launch.

When one of my YC batchmates decided to sell their startup, I realized that there isn't enough information or guidance available to founders around M&A. For such an important part of the startup journey, selling your company is an under-discussed topic.

Hi Jonni We have built a product to solve the pain points we faced years ago ! if i go back on time i'll make sure to avoid: - Missing CRM process. - Missing payments, costs tracking system. - Absence of a centralized system that allow you to hire business people to drive sales opportunities. - No dashboard centric on KPIs. - A fragmented project or task management system. Looking forward to launch soon :)

Launching soon!

After immersing myself in Flutter development for the past year, I couldn't help but notice a recurring pattern across all my projects. Time and again, I found myself coding the same essential components and integrations. This repetition sparked an idea: why not create something to streamline the process for fellow Flutter developers? And so, Flutfast was born out of this realization. Unlike just another boilerplate, Flutfast is my solution to gathering all those common elements we constantly need into one convenient toolkit. My aim? To simplify and accelerate the process of building mobile apps in Flutter, allowing developers to kickstart their projects with ease.

@talkinideas You're on to something big here Sahil. This is a fantastic idea!

I'll start. As an introvert I always avoided posting online. Then I discovered Product Hunt and its super welcoming community. It gave me the courage to start posting and commenting here. It's been great, to say the least (apart from spam issues). After a while I noticed a few things that would really improve Product Hunt, like dark mode. So I made a Chrome plugin that makes Product Hunt more fun! How about you?

@jgani hey, that's a pretty good idea! wonder if you could build DMs on top of ProductHunt (probably via integration with another social platform) 😄

Mar 28

Jonni Gani @jgani

Unofficial Product Hunt Chrome Plugin

@sixbangs I have been contemplating it for weeks now. I was concerned about it fuelling more spam, but today I just had an idea for how to solve it nicely! Can I ask what you'd use DMs for? Also, could you please clarify what you mean by integration with another social platform?

Mar 29

Ted Schaefer @sixbangs

Albert

@jgani just continuing conversations outside of discussions instead of having to find people on LinkedIn, X, etc. but yeah, i expect it would be heavily used for spam

@sixbangs I consulted with a few tech founder friends and they gave me goods idea for designing a DM that is pretty spam proof. I'll give it a crack. BTW when are you launching? Can you share your teaser page so I can subscribe to it?

Community of active travelers. We had a vlog with my co-founder and people asked for many advices like where to go? What to do? How much will it cost? 💲 etc. We made a survey and gathered all responses in one place, it allowed us to understand the need and necessity of what we’re still doing - All-in-one travel app for travel Creators and modern tourism.

@sasha_buratynskyi That sounds exciting. For me what I'd want from a travel app is suggestions for secret destinations that are not crowded :)

@jgani that's exactly what we're providing) We're taking authors that picked every location by hand, uncover hidden gems and making every itinerary with love.

Mid life crisis! I was laid off last year and had time to ponder what’s next... Discovered no-code platforms, which rekindled my interest in programming; I started to think of how I could maybe build software in order to be able to fulfill the digital nomad dream…
