How do you choose which dev tool to trust in your stack?

With a new dev tool launching every other day (here on PH), choosing the right one for your stack can feel overwhelming, especially when you are building something serious.

Some tools look great on launch day but fall apart in production. Others don t trend, but quietly power entire workflows.

Should you offer free access when launching a paid product on Product Hunt?

I'm seeing more products launch on Product Hunt that require payment to actually use any features. No free trial, no freemium tier, just a download that leads straight to a paywall.

Part of me thinks this makes sense. If your product has real value, why give it away? People on Product Hunt understand they're looking at premium tools. Plus offering free access can attract users who will never pay anyway.

But I also see the argument for temporary free access during launch. Product Hunt users want to actually try what they're upvoting. How can they give meaningful feedback or become advocates if they hit a paywall immediately?

How do you keep your startup team motivated when money runs out?

Keeping a startup team motivated without money is one of the hardest challenges I ve faced, harder than growth or sales.

I ve worked on a few SaaS products with let s just say, not-ideal budgets. And honestly, the hardest part wasn t traction. It was morale.
