Hey everyone
We ve just pushed a fresh update to the Blockies Animate documentation!
Now it s way easier to understand how each animation works, with clear examples and faster setup.

We're also working hard behind the scenes to bring new installation options including CLI so you can integrate Blockies Animate however it fits your flow

Check out the new docs: Blockies Animate

We re building this with and for you, so your feedback means everything.
Let us know what you think, what s missing, or what would make it better for you.

I've added a license (AGPL-3.0 license) and hoping someone, somewhere does something with this:
https://github.com/jessekorzan/d...

I am open to questions, anytime.

I'm a product nerd. I love demoing and testing out products and am blessed that I can do this as part of my work here at Product Hunt but I sometimes forget to share my thoughts and impressions from testing products with the community....and I want to change that!
What would you like to see if I were to start sharing some reviews, product comparisons, and first impressions of Products that are launched or discovered? What aren't you currently seeing in reviews!
Throw any ideas, ask me anything, this is ultimately for you all!

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?

I am launching a product soon and trying to select the best email stack. I am currently between MailerLite + MailerSend and Loops, both seem to have a good UX. For auth emails, using Supabase for now.

What's important for me:

• Low-risk, paying only if the project will actually gain users.

• Possibility to send a custom "Best matches" email that can be sent weekly automatically

These days, almost every product that launches comes with some form of AI. It's become the default AI for this, AI for that. And honestly, most of them don t really need it. The result? Everything starts to feel the same. The only real selling point becomes we use AI.

That s exactly why I started building @HumanEye because not every problem should be solved by AI. Some things, like resume reviews and career guidance, still deserve the human touch. Real feedback, from real people.

Would love to hear your thoughts:

• Are we overusing AI just for the sake of hype?

• Have you come across products that felt forced because of their AI features?

• What are some areas where human input still matters most?

Many of us appreciate tools that save us time or money in our businesses. But there are also projects out there with a bigger mission (improving lives, supporting the planet, and helping those in need, to name a few).

Do you know of any inspiring projects that aim to make the world a better place?

A few minutes ago, I read an overview of a report that more people take a source of news, not traditional outlets and media, but influencers. [I am attaching the screenshot from Reutersinstitute.]

TL;DR:

FB, YT, IG  More attention is dedicated to news media/journalists

Tons of great products that we know and use everyday are the result of pivots. You know, sometimes the original idea just isn't working and you have to find a new niche and quick, other times you stumble on a use case that changes the whole game.

Have you ever pivoted? What's the story behind it? How successful was the pivot? I'd love to hear your stories, and potentially feature them in our newsletters!

Most people in this community are makers (I guess developers and marketers).

We spend most of our time in front of the computer, on video calls and the like. Understandably, we want to make it easier and more enjoyable.

What tech stack do you have that makes your work easier?

Fellow makers, I need some real talk here.

Anyone else feel like they're spending more time switching between tons of tools than actually building?

I'm launching something on June 27th that combines all of this into one platform (Crowd), but genuinely curious - what's your analytics stack looking like these days?

Are we all just collectively accepting that customer intelligence requires 5+ subscriptions, or is there a better way?

Hey PH fam ,

Josh here the solo dev who launched WebVisor, read every single one of your brutal comments, and immediately brewed an irresponsible amount of coffee.

What an incredible launch day! The support from makers, founders, and builders has been absolutely amazing. Seeing everyone rally around our mission to give builders a quick way to build, launch and monetize their products honestly made our entire team do happy dances!

But here's where we need YOUR help...

We're on a mission to make billing and pricing actually enjoyable (yes, we said enjoyable! ). If you've logged into Atlas and tried it out - even for just a few minutes - we'd LOVE to hear from you!

About 4 months ago, I asked for beginner tips on Raycast so that I could start trying it out. I'd heard some people talk about how helpful it was, but just downloading it, I didn't really know where to start or how to get the most out of it.

Well, 4 months later, it is an integral part of my workflow now. I'd actually say it's one of the most impactful apps I use (the other being @Aqua Voice) in terms of really improving my overall work. I use it now for so many things every day, and I've gotten it set up to be incredibly fast and efficient for what I need. I think I would feel very slow and disorganized going back to not using it.

We re in the thick of redesigning onboarding for a new consumer app trying to make that first minute actually count. Not just informative, but compelling enough that people actually stick around and use it again.

Too many products treat onboarding like a tutorial. And it becomes easy for the user to view it as just another hurdle to get through instead of a moment to get set up for a positive experience. Swipe, swipe swipe, go...

Right now, using AI still takes effort. You type something in, it gives you something weird, so you tweak the prompt, try again, change the phrasing, and hope for the best.

But with every LLM update, it feels like they re finally starting to understand stuff like need title for slide and description. And honestly? Sometimes the answers I get clarify the task or problem I was trying to solve in the first place.

I ve launched a free tool for career exploration in tech (AI-powered, no sign-up needed).

Users try it, but very few leave feedback.

What s worked for you to gather early signals without forcing people to fill long forms or hop on calls?

I d love to improve the experience but don t want to nag users.

Hi everyone

We re preparing to launch a fintech product that s only available in the UK market; it s not global (at least not yet). The product is quite localised, both in terms of functionality (e.g. UK open banking, GBP, local tax wrappers) and legal structure.

We know Product Hunt is a global platform with a large US-based audience, so we re wondering: does it still make sense to launch here?

In SaaS, early user acquisition can be a major hurdle, and sometimes traditional marketing channels like ads or SEO aren t enough or cost-effective. I ve seen products like Notion leverage community-driven growth, or Airtable use referral programs deeply integrated into their onboarding to scale users organically. Similarly, Calendly grew through partnerships and embedding itself into workflows users already had.

I m curious beyond classic marketing, what s one unconventional user acquisition strategy that worked surprisingly well for your product in its early days?

• Were you targeting a niche audience or solving a very specific pain point?

• How did you implement and measure the success of that strategy?

• Did it help you attract engaged, long-term users rather than just volume?

• How did that approach evolve as your product scaled?

Would love to hear detailed examples and lessons learned from your own journeys!

We re happy to let you know that Chunk v1.2.0 is now live. Here s what s waiting for you:

Keyboard Shortcut: Pick your own key combo to open and close the main panel. Head over to Settings Shortcuts and set it up in a way that fits your flow.

12-Hour Clock Mode: You now have a choice between 11:00 AM 1:00 PM or 11:00 13:00 in the clock settings. Pick whichever makes more sense for you.

Thank you to each and everyone of you for supporting WebVisor! - I wouldn't have imagined such a great response to the system. I have been solo building this for 3 months now and the response from all of you has been worth it!
Many of you have made free account already and i can't wait to hear the feedback!
Therefore i want to share some discount codes for those who want to try the Paid Plans.
DAYONE: Get your first month free no strings attached.
EARLYADOPTER: 75% off your first 3 months on any paid plan.
(Apply either code at checkout or from your Account Settings tab)
I am excited to start building out the next features and fix the bugs so you all can use a great platform!!!
I will stay active on PH but feel free to follow me on LinkedIn, IG or threads to stay in the know and likely get more discounts!

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working on some updates, but before adding anything new, I want to hear directly from you.

I have the craze idea to develop an SDR-Agent that will:
1. discover new opportunities on LinkedIn and Facebook,
2. contact leads and manage conversations on LinkedIn, Facebook, Email and Whatsapp;

3. provide a complete DFY solution, providing social accounts and email inboxes (so the users don't need to risk their own profiles).
Finally, I am planning to offer a 7-day trial for $1.
I have some concerns:
1. is there any room for a product like this in the market actually?
2. what may be the rate of users that will pay for the trial and will never use the tool?

3. can I bootstrap a project like this and run it alone (I have no partners)?

First, thank you. Everyone who voted, commented, or tried Chronicle. You helped us with a #1 finish in our first official launch on the same day Bubble also crossed 1000 votes. Massive gratitude

As a first-time founder, this was a special day. I would love to share what we've learnt. And would love to hear how we can do better, both in growing Chronicle and in improving the product itself.
