How we hit top #1 on Product Hunt— and what I’d change next time to achieve way better results

Hi PH community,

My team and I just launched Byterover a self-improving memory layer for coding agents on AI IDEs like Cursor, Windsurf, and more.

We ve been sitting at #1 for the past 18 hours since launch. Super grateful but I also think we could ve done a lot better with better prep.

If you could automate one annoying part of your workflow, what would it be?

We ve all got that one thing we still do manually that makes us groan every time - formatting copied text, renaming files, setting up tasks, writing the same message again and again. If you could wave a magic AI wand and automate just one repetitive thing, what would it be? Bonus if you ve actually hacked a solution for it, I love learning from clever automations. Also: I m working on something in this space, so I m not just asking for fun Following anyone who shares something cool or teaches me something new.

What tech stack do you use for your work? (Hardware + Software)

Most people in this community are makers (I guess developers and marketers).

We spend most of our time in front of the computer, on video calls and the like. Understandably, we want to make it easier and more enjoyable.

What tech stack do you have that makes your work easier?

Finding Your Pride On Product Hunt , a Den of LGBT Makers and Allies

Product Hunt has always felt like a place where underdog founders can try their luck not with VCs, but with a real community of builders. It reminds me of what made the early internet so special: it was a place where fragmented groups could find each other and power up together. For my personal use, as a maker, historically it s been more about supporting my friends' companies when they had launches and now I use it to keep up with the continues rollout of new tools mostly aimed at makers looking to vibe and make faster.

Right now, I feel anxious for America (and the world) feel from political chaos and our economic prospects. Resilience in our community has been a source of strength. LGBT are also natural contrarians to the status quo to such an extent I would say it is even a builder superpower.

🧨 When Firebase, GCP & AWS go down at once, it’s a reminder of how fragile the internet really is

Today s outages (Firebase, GCP, AWS, Cloudflare, etc.) weren t just isolated blips, they exposed how deeply interdependent our tools and infra have become.

When core providers stumble, the ripple effect crushes hundreds of products instantly. No deploys, no logins, no analytics, no tests just waiting.

Curious how you all think about this:

- Are you actively building for redundancy or just hoping these giants hold?

Is AI video editing finally ready for everyday creators?

Let s be honest most AI video tools are still too complicated or just don t live up to the hype. Why is it still so tough for creators and marketers to make quick, simple edits? Most tools are built for pros, and AI videos often feel a bit off. We kept hearing: Why can t I just make a fast explainer or a talking avatar without a studio?

That s what we want to change:

  • Instantly create videos from text prompts

  • Bring blogs, courses, and social posts to life with talking avatars

  • Experiment and storyboard easily not just edit

Do you still believe in SEO?

Hi there! I've been working in content marketing & SEO for almost a decade - and while I've seen many announcements of the death of SEO, the current search climate, combined with the latest announcements from Google are strong signals that SEO may (finally ) be over.

What do you think? Is "answer engine optimization" the answer?

GPT's Creator - I’d love to hear your thoughts

I ve been building a lot of custom GPTs for niche use cases lately, and every time I create one that s actually useful I run into the same problem: I can t monetize it inside the GPT Store.

Right now:

  • All GPTs on the store are free

  • There s no way to offer paid or private versions

  • No control over who uses them, or how often

So I started wondering:

What success(es) did you achieve with your product this week? Sharing is caring

I mostly reserve weekends for more relaxed forums, since even founders tend to be in a more "chill" mode during that time.

We could end this week on a positive note:

Founders, how did your startup team come together?

Once I started building Lifetoon, I found myself talking to more and more founders and early-stage builders, trying to learn from their experiences, mistakes, and aha moments.

One thing that really stuck with me was how random and unpredictable the early team formation often is. I kept hearing all these great stories - from serendipitous events that sparked the idea, to unexpected ways founders met, to funny coincidences around how their first hires happened.

How do you reduce churn rate? (Your best practices)

I assume I'm not the only one dealing with this problem, so I'll seek advice from those more experienced and perhaps those who have a proven track record.

Whenever a user reaches the payment gateway, they often suddenly leave, either by uninstalling the app or closing the page.

How has AI actually helped (or not helped) your startup journey?

Hey folks

We re living in the golden age of AI tools from idea generation to design, marketing, customer support, dev workflows, and even fundraising decks.

But I m super curious... how are YOU actually using AI in your business?

What s genuinely worked for you?

How do you think social media is going to evolve?

We went from status updates stories short-form video.

From friends followers strangers with shared interests.

From flexing performing now what?
Feels like something's about to break, and rebuild.
Here s a take:

The next wave won t be about going viral - it ll be about belonging.

Do VCs or investors investigate what projects they invest money in? (Related to the latest faux pas)

Most startups that VCs invest in do not survive or succeed as originally planned.

According to statistics, only 1  2 out of 10 VC-backed startups end up as a major success or unicorn.

We lost a $50M deal. Here’s why—and what I learned.

A few years ago, while working full-time with an IT services firm, we lost a $50M deal with a leading telco in the GCC.

We had built early rapport with the head of their technical team.

So much so, we deployed senior solutioning leaders into their office for over a year.

Our team helped:

How did you successfully open source your private repo? Any must-follow playbooks?

Hey Product Hunt fam!

I m preparing to open source a project I ve been working on privately for a while. It's now production-ready and has real-world impact, but I want to make sure I do it right, not just dump it into GitHub and hope for the best.

I m looking for your battle-tested frameworks and lessons learned:

  • What s one thing you wish you had done differently when making your repo public?

  • What made your repo get noticed?

  • What should I definitely include before launching?

  • Did you use templates, bots, GitHub Actions, or community rituals that helped?

  • How do you avoid just having a ghost town of a repo?

What tools do you use to analyze SaaS user behavior? Here’s what worked for me...

When you're building a SaaS platform, understanding user behavior isn t optional, it's essential for growth.

Two tools I highly recommend (and personally use across multiple SaaS products) are:
