It s almost here for me. In three days, I ll be relaunching a major update for the app I have been collaborating with, and I ve set clear boundaries for myself about what I will and won t do before the launch. I guess these are some general, unwritten rules I try to follow

Definitely DON T:

• Accept offers from charlatans promising votes or engagement for money

• Send unsolicited messages begging for votes or support

• Spam other people s posts with launch announcements

Hey everyone,

I m Hrutik. I ve been lurking on Product Hunt for a while, learning from launches here, and tomorrow I m finally shipping my first product as a solo builder.

It s called GemmaStat but honestly, tomorrow matters less than the learning.
This is my first launch, no team, no playbook, just a lot of late nights and hope that something I built helps someone.

I m excited and also low-key terrified of launch day
Trying to remind myself that it s not about rankings, but about real feedback and conversations.

Here's a few tools we used to make the images and videos for today's launch.

LinkedIn officially shared the job titles that started appearing more often, and with the rise of AI, the market is restructuring.

The actual top 10 roles that have seen the biggest rise in listings (in the U.S.) are:

1. AI engineers Engineers developing and implementing AI models that perform complex tasks

2. AI consultants and strategists - Helping organisations plan and implement AI technologies to improve operations

3. New home sales specialists Which sounds like a rebranding or real estate agent

4. Data annotators Labelling and reviewing data for AI projects

5. AI/ML researchers Designing new AI models and systems

6. Healthcare reimbursement specialists Ensuring healthcare providers are getting correct and timely payments

7. Strategic advisors and independent consultants Which seems like a pretty broad-ranging segment

8. Advertising sales specialists You re reading a marketing blog, I assume you know this one

9. Founders Not sure this can be listed as a job title in itself, but LinkedIn s keen to highlight how people are shifting to their own businesses

10. Sales executives

The day before yesterday, I was looking at the profiles of founders and team members of Lovable, as well as other companies, e.g. Hubspot, and they all look pretty good.

Lately, I ve been getting offers to help grow LinkedIn profiles from several founders, and I m starting to feel like at least LinkedIn is hype.

Happy new year all.

I'm sure everyone is locked in ready to hit their goals in 2026.
The official launch of The Caffeine Reset is this Sunday - 4th January 2026.

Hey Product Hunt
I m Oussama, a student founder building RewritelyApp.

I m currently focused on AI-assisted writing specifically the gap between generating text with AI and turning it into something that actually sounds natural and human.

I enjoy building real products, shipping early, and learning directly from user feedback rather than over-polishing in isolation.

Looking forward to:

Hey everyone,

I've spent the past decade working on Invoice Ninja, about a year ago I started working on a new app. Hope to share it here soon.

Since I haven't been able to meet my work goals very well in the last few quarters, I now plan to approach them more systematically and not push myself too hard on work goals, as that ultimately led to problems that made my plan less sustainable.

So here is my structure and list:

Guys,
I'm looking for some knowledge workers to get involved in helping to shape Clarity!
If anyone is interested, let me know in the comments!

hi there i am Amar a 17yr old founder of client Wisper a platform where you make invoices in less then 30 sec and also automate the process of making and sending invoices monthly

As one year comes to an end and a new one begins, I find myself pausing to reflect. If you had the chance to say something to your future self to the version of you in 2025 and 2026, what would it be?

Looking back, I want to thank myself for how much I pushed through this past year:

• For finding a job I genuinely value, even after going through a long period of stress and fear of unemployment

• For speaking up and sharing my own perspectives at work

• For choosing action over just talking

• For walking away from toxic and unnecessary work relationships

• For daring to learn new things outside my original field of study

• For letting go of some comforts and entertainment to focus more on my health

hey product hunt people ! i'm musha a 19 year old building a SaaS , exploring things and the community manager of postautopsy , im genuinely curious about how things work in this community and wish to learn from you guys !

Hey PH folks, I'm Pranav.
I build modern web products with a strong focus on design, performance, and real-world usefulness. Big fan of building in public, iterating fast, and learning by shipping.

Looking forward to connecting with other makers, giving feedback, and launching some cool stuff here soon.

I absolutely love seeing people still launching stuff even during the holidays. In my opinion, every true founder is a workaholic (a little bit).

I m pretty sure half of us are secretly thinking about business during Christmas.

Hello Product Hunt! I m a tech enthusiast and QA Manager with years of experience working on products and client solutions. Lately, I ve been diving into AI, exploring how it can help SaaS products grow, improve user experiences, and solve real-world pain points. I enjoy experimenting with product design, testing new features, and finding ways to make products truly valuable for users. Outside of work, you ll often find me behind a camera capturing moments or exploring new corners of the world!

I m brand new here as a maker (long-time lurker ). I ve used Product Hunt for years to discover amazing products, and lately I ve been spending my weekends vibe-coding and bringing small ideas to life. Excited to finally participate, how do you currently use ph as a maker or builder?

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Vasya
For over 6 years, I've been working as a product manager.
For the past 1.5 years, I've been building my own startup in the social trading space within web3, where I serve as CEO.
You've probably already guessed that I'm passionate about the idea of decentralized finance (DeFi), as well as SocialFi and blockchain technologies.
I have strong expertise in product management, web3 marketing, and UX/UI design.
In those 1.5 years, I've managed to:

• assemble a team of developers,

• participate in two hackathons,

• build a product nobody needed,

• spend all the money and raise investments from family and friends,

• make a pivot,

• go through an accelerator and secure three grants.
  Right now, I'm preparing my startup for launch on January 10, and I'd love to exchange experiences with like-minded people as well as get your support on launch day!
  Happy New Year

Hii there

I m Amar, a solo founder building Client Whisper with the help of AI.

If you ve ever freelanced or run an agency, you know the pain: sending invoices, waiting, chasing, reminding and still getting ghosted. I lived that frustration, so I built something that flips the script.

What it does

While flying to Argentina to visit my family for the New Year, I scrolled through my phone and realized how much happened since we launched Pretty Prompt on Product Hunt 7 months ago.

Here s a little photo-dump recap:
