I just switched to OpenSUSE after windows kept messing with my touch pad drivers to the point where I had to reinstall them every day to somewhat fix the issue. I've been a heavy Linux user on and off since 09 and have hopped all the distros. I might try to run the Windows version of Tonkotsu with WINE or even Lutris, but I am unsure of how that will go. I don't know if there will be a linux build. I know half of san fransisco is on mac so probably not lol. but one can dream.
Lums hit #11 organically on Product Hunt yesterday! A massive thank you to everyone who supported us by upvoting, commenting, and downloading the app.
The launch conversations highlighted one thing we ve felt since day one: most budgeting apps ask for way too much effort before giving you any value.
Usually, you download an app and spend the next hour fixing categories, adjusting settings, and correcting transactions. By the time you're "set up," you've already lost the motivation that made you download it in the first place.
@yulia_kuznetsova3 put it perfectly! She said she added her accounts to Lums and it just showed her where her money was going. No fixing things first. Just clarity. @selina4 shared something similar. After months of bills piling up and small charges slipping by, having everything side-by-side finally made things click.
Our team is planning to launch a new version of our product on Product Hunt next week, after a period of optimization and improvements. As we get closer to launch day, I realize there s a lot to prepare, and I m curious about how other teams usually approach this process.
So far, here s what we ve been focusing on:
Most importantly, making sure the product works well and delivers real value
Continuous testing to ensure performance and stability
Designing clean and clear product screenshots
Preparing a summary of what s been updated, fixed, or optimized
Writing launch content (tagline, description, first comment, etc.)
Maintaining good health and a stable mindset for the launch
Expanding our network and connecting with other makers
Writing on the @1Password blog, Jason Meller says that he found that the top downloaded OpenClaw skill was a malware delivery vehicle:
While browsing ClawHub (I won t link it for obvious reasons), I noticed the top downloaded skill at the time was a Twitter skill. It looked normal: description, intended use, an overview, the kind of thing you d expect to install without a second thought.
But the very first thing it did was introduce a required dependency named openclaw-core, along with platform-specific install steps. Those steps included convenient links ( here , this link ) that appeared to be normal documentation pointers.
Today, the productivity domain in tech is very well developed - there are tools for almost any need!
But at the same time, there s always a feeling that there might be something else, something better. All the time.
What I like about this space is that once people start using tools like Miro, Notion, Trello, ClickUp, etc., they tend to keep testing new things and experimenting with different tools.
I m curious. Do you usually work with music on? Do you have go-to songs or playlists that help boost your energy and creativity while working?
Personally, I like starting my mornings with chill instrumental piano music to ease into the day. Later on, I switch to R&B, pop, or something more upbeat to keep the momentum going. Recently, I ve been vibing with:
Love - Keyshia Cole
So Easy (To Fall in Love), Man I Need - Olivia Dean
Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush
End of Beginning - Djo
Moonwalkin - LNGSHOT
Damn right - JENNIE, Childish Gambino, Kali Uchis
Keshi s playlists in general
What playlists or songs have you been listening to lately while working? Really curious to discover what everyone else is into
I m currently bringing Planelo to Android, and I just hit a classic indie dev roadblock. Google rejected my production access because they want to see more "real-world engagement" during the closed testing phase.
As a solo dev, reaching that 14-day active usage threshold for 20 people is quite a challenge. I m looking for a few more early birds to help me cross the finish line!
Claude just launched Claude Opus 4.6 . This is Claude s newest and most capable model so far. It s designed for deep reasoning, long-running agent workflows, and large codebases, with a 1M token context window in beta and stronger planning and code understanding.
We launched dark mode for Tonkotsu earlier this week. It was written entirely by Tonkotsu with 63 completed tasks. My involvement was exclusively during planning and verification (the classic barbell shape described here).
For when you want to bring your Granola notes into Claude or ChatGPT, you can now use Granola MCP:
Working in Claude Code or Cursor: Your meeting context comes with you. Ask it to create tickets for the bugs you discussed, or scaffold a feature based on what was agreed.
Doing sprint planning: Ask Claude to update your Linear board from this morning's standup.
Writing up a sales call: Get ChatGPT to draft and share the notes to your CRM from what was actually discussed.
Building a proposal: Use your discovery conversations as context without digging through notes.
We re all builders here, which usually means at some point we looked at something clunky, slow, or frustrating and thought, there has to be a better way. Most products don t start with a grand vision; they start with irritation, curiosity, or firsthand pain.
I d love to learn more about how others here have navigated that journey:
How did you uncover the problem you decided to work on? What signals told you this problem was worth solving? How did you validate (if at all) whether people would actually pay for a solution? Has your product stayed true to the original problem, or did it evolve into something different? What surprised you the most along the way?
