v1.3 - LED of caps lock now syncs to mute/unmute!

Thanks @morajabi for the LED code! Now, when you press Capslock, the LED will also toggle on and off.

It's a really brittle implementation right now and can easily de-sync. It assumes that you start muted and then, when you press Caps Lock, you un-mute. To switch the toggle, simply double tap Caps Lock.

I could imagine building out a series of checks to try and sync up Caps Lock, the Caps Lock LED with mute function. First, I wanted to ship a really simple version to see what it feels like. Try out the new app and let me know if the LED is an improvement!

Do you know any good AI accounting software? For some reason I don't see them that often on PH

The tax filing season is approaching, and it occurred to me that I haven't come across many AI tools on this platform that would solve this issue.

Maybe for the following reasons (I think):

  • diversity/complexity of tax entities and legal forms of business

  • international business, accounting cases differ from case to case (taking into account currencies, forms of business, tax laws)

  • laws in accounting and finance change very quickly

What do successful Product Hunt launches have in common?

Over the past few days, I ve been trying to understand what helped the most successful launches stand out.

In general, here s what I noticed they tend to share:

  • Their Product Hunt page had at least 500 followers.

  • The product was in overall good condition (I mean, already had some level of reputation, really good marketing).

  • Many were hunted by well-established, well-known hunters on the platform.

  • Every comment received a response.

  • The visuals were strong there was almost always a video or demo featured at the beginning of the carousel.

Building PingPolls Together With Our Users

We realized that while most online services are getting more effortless to use, form builders have stayed the same. Most forms are still slow to build and boring to fill out.

Part of the problem is the mental model people have for online forms. Most people expect something like Google Forms, even though its format is not how people actually spend their time. We are much more comfortable with the chat format we use every day on WhatsApp or ChatGPT.

Dos and don'ts before the Product Hunt launch

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

Thanks for #1 - here's what's next

Hey everyone - we re tremendously grateful for our fantastic launch yesterday, ending at #1 for the day. Thank you all for your support!

I started Tonkotsu because I saw a huge opportunity for a complete rethink of AI coding not just incremental adjustments to established tools and workflows. Having managed teams of hundreds of engineers at Meta, Microsoft, and Atlassian, it s been fascinating to me to find that the role of the developer has shifted overnight: you're now the manager of a team of agents. We're building Tonkotsu to help you succeed in that new role.

Who are the most active people on Product Hunt?

Many people were looking for an answer in one category, namely, Forums Streaks.

This metric by itself only tells you that people log in to the app.

How do you perceive competition on Product Hunt on the same day?

My question is as follows, and I'll ask it right at the beginning:

Do you ask for help with upvoting from the people you're competing with on that day?

What's the best AI model for coding?

New AI models pop up every week. Some developer tools like @Cursor, @Zed, and @Kilo Code let you choose between different models, while more opinionated products like @Amp and @Tonkotsu default to 1 model.

Curious what the community recommends for coding tasks? Any preferences?

Advantages of launching during the week vs. Advantages of launching during the weekend (Explained)

I know this topic has been here a million times (and people will still ask me a few more times after that).

I personally see advantages in both cases, but maybe one more advantage when it comes to launching during the week.

Very briefly:

I hunted @Interactpitch yesterday and that inspired me to write this thread.

Sara, the AI Interviewer

Hey PH,

I ve been working on voice-first AI for a while and our team recently built an autonomous interviewer handle an entire first-round call - questions, follow-ups, scorecard, etc

To me as a founder it's magical because it solves a huge pain point for us in hiring. I d love to your thoughts

  • What s the very first feeling or word that pops up when you picture an AI running your screening call?

  • Actual experiences: If you ve been a candidate or recruiter with an AI in the interviewer s - how was your experience, and why?

  • What would help you feel totally okay letting AI handle that first round - transparency, bias checks, something else?

How do you want to find job when AI is replacing people? [Real case on the horizon]

3 weeks ago, we discussed the topic of how AI affects your work.

After seeing yesterday s Instagram post by Morning Brew, I ve decided to change the questions.

According to the post, even a major player like Duolingo is looking to replace contractors and employees with AI.

Did you start with No-Code, AI code or hired a developer? 🔥

Just looking at so many options. What software stack did you use for your startup? Are you a coder? Or did you hire a developer instead?
