About

Product Hunt changed my life, and I'm thrilled to be able to shape its next chapter! Interests: Having founded Tandem, a virtual office, I'm still keenly interested in the future of work and collaboration tools. I also have a soft spot for rock climbing and wine apps (launched Banquet, a mobile wine shop). I've dabbled in web3 too (Cryptagon - a portfolio tracker).

Did Raycast just get sherlocked?

@Apple just announced the new macOS Tahoe 26, which included the "biggest Spotlight update ever." From the outside, it feels like they essentially built Raycast into Spotlight.

Raycast's CEO, @thomaspaulmann reacted in a long-form X post. This quote really struck me:

While Apple catches up to 2019 Raycast, we're already shipping 2025 Raycast.

Surpassing 4 Million Users

To 4 million of you,

Five years ago today, we released the first version of Scribe on Product Hunt. As they say, if you're not embarrassed by your first product, you didn't do it right and believe me, looking back now, we are deeply embarrassed. That first version wasn't even internet-enabled! It saved locally on your desktop and was as clunky as they come.

How do I get more upvotes? What's the secret behind Product Hunt?

Hey makers,

I launched my product recently on Product Hunt. I put effort into the messaging, visuals, and value and was honestly excited to share it. But after 24 hours, I ve barely gotten any traction. A handful of upvotes, no meaningful feedback just cold emails and offers from marketers.
