This is a really thoughtful take on fundraising. The idea of understanding how a pitch was experienced, not just sending it out and hoping for the best, feels like a big gap most founders just accept today. The pre-call insight angle is especially interesting knowing where investors spent time or got confused could completely change how the first conversation goes. Curious to see how founders...

Congrats on the launch, Mikey. The two-pass translation idea makes a lot of sense especially for video where literal translations usually sound off.Nice touch treating it as translation + editing instead of just running text through a model once.Also like the pay-for-usage + BYO keys approach. Feels fair and flexible compared to most tools in this space. Slang and casual phrasing usually break...

Congrats on the launch 🙌.“DIY chaos” is painfully accurate spreadsheets everywhere, zero strategy, lots of stress. The zero advisory fee angle is a big plus, especially for people who want guidance without giving up 1–2% forever.The trust moment when connecting accounts feels like the make-or-break step here. If that clicks, this could be really compelling.

I noticed the same thing when I launched on Product Hunt people aren’t just reacting to the product, they’re reacting to the care around it. Small details like the maker comment, visuals, even profile completeness change how seriously a launch is taken. It’s almost subconscious, but it definitely affects whether someone pauses or just keeps scrolling. Launching really changes how you browse PH....

I relate to this a lot. When something comes from your own life, it doesn’t feel optional anymore. You’re not chasing an idea, you’re responding to something that already exists. Thanks for writing this.

For me it started with a very specific frustration. I kept noticing how much time teams were spending fixing small layout and consistency issues that shouldn’t need a designer every time. Nothing was technically broken, but it constantly slowed momentum.That problem is what drew me to work on Layyyyout. I related deeply to the problem it was trying to solve, and it matched how I think about...

Testing on real devices is still one of the most painful parts of mobile dev, so the Magic Link + real device angle makes a lot of sense. Compressing setup, execution, and reporting into minutes instead of days is a real win if it holds up in practice. Nice focus on removing friction from the testing loop looking forward to seeing how teams integrate this into existing workflows.

I’m a bit split on this. Strategically, it makes sense on paper Pinterest is intent-rich, visual, and closer to decision-making than most social platforms. That kind of data is very different from conversational or search data. But culturally, it’s tricky. Pinterest’s value comes from trust and taste, and that’s fragile. If AI becomes too visible or floods the feed, it risks breaking the very...

Productivity has started to mean less about doing things faster and more about protecting focus and reducing decision fatigue.Sleep and limiting noise create the foundation, but what’s helped me most is structuring work so I’m not constantly re-deciding how to approach the same problems. I’ve been building a small product around that idea keeping workflows intentional so mental energy goes...

Congrats on the launch, Shige shipping right before the year ends is always intense.Respect for handling the timezone gap too. Launch days already drain you, doing it across PT is another level. Lately I’ve been using AI more as a thinking partner than full automation shorter loops, quicker learning.Hope the rest of the launch goes smoothly.

Congrats on the launch! Building something you actually wanted to use really shows in how you’ve framed the problem. The focus on visibility and debuggability especially hits that’s where most workflow tools fall apart in real use.

Agreed. Deleting posts usually helps my ego more than my growth. Leaving them up has made it easier to see patterns and improve over time.

Ready-to-use UI components for modern product teams Curious what you think it is based on this 👀

This really landed for me. I’ve noticed the same pattern stepping away just to plan or “re-sync” isn’t rest, it’s still work in disguise. The hardest part is letting the mind actually go quiet without feeling guilty about it.Trying to treat energy as the constraint, not time. When that’s off, everything else feels forced anyway. Appreciate you putting words to this it’s a good reminder going...

This put into words a lot of what this year felt like.Especially the health part we don’t realize how costly burnout is until everything is forced to stop.The point about relationships is spot on too. A few genuine conversations can outweigh months of posting. This year, while working on a product, I felt the same. Progress came less from grinding and more from showing up consistently and...

This captures a problem many learners quietly struggle with.That gap between “doing lessons” and actually understanding real speech is painfully real. I like the comprehension-first approach it feels closer to how learning actually happens, not how apps try to simulate progress. Curious: how do you decide when a learner is ready to move from passive understanding to active speaking without...

Appreciate the focus on automation that actually earns its place in a real workflow. From a PM lens, the tools that tend to stick are the ones that reduce operational friction without needing constant oversight: Zapier / Make for dependable glue work across tools Grain-style meeting transcription tools that reliably turn calls into summaries and clear next steps Vapi for experimenting with AI...

Love how v2 is clearly shaped by real user feedback. The use-case breakdown makes it very concrete. Curious which feature ended up driving the rebuild the most from v1 to v2?

This hits home. I’ve learned a few of these the hard way too. The separate card + tiny test payment habits are boring but lifesaving. Definitely the kind of stuff you only appreciate after getting burned once.

Love how clearly this visualizes progress the burn-down style animations make something stressful like debt feel tangible and motivating. The privacy-first angle is also a big plus, especially for financial data. Interested on how users typically use this day-to-day: quick check-ins vs more detailed planning sessions?
