... everyone, I m Craig. I have spent many years building products after products. Some were functional and polished others were half-finished experiments that never saw the light of day. Each one taught me something different, from how to move faster to how to simplify ideas and how to spot when to keep going or when to cut my losses. I never set out to collect unfinished projects but over time I realized those builds gave me the experience ... ... testing. The process itself has become just as valuable as the outcomes. Comment from Ryan Dean(@ryan_dean): Hey Craig, what sort of products have you created or enjoy creating the most? Any reason why some were left half-finished

... suddenly you re redesigning the dashboard. You optimize a feature, and now the entire user flow feels outdated. You finally finish onboarding, and now you re rewriting your welcome email at midnight. Sound familiar? I m in that weird zone right now, too far in to stop, too close to call it finished

... called CycleUp , a solo sprint system that helps indie builders and vibe coders stay focused on one goal at a time. You pick a 2 or 6 week cycle, track habits + daily check-ins, and actually celebrate when you finish. It s currently in beta . I m looking for: Honest feedback Solo makers who want to test it Insights on what would make it worth paying for If that sounds interesting, here s the beta: https://preview--cycle-up-unlock... Not launching ...

... just released a beta of something I wish I had when I started building solo: It s called CycleUp a simple, gamified goal tracker for indie builders and vibe coders who want to actually finish what they start. How it works: - You choose one goal per cycle (2 or 6 weeks) - Track habits + daily progress - See it all in a visual dashboard - Celebrate when you finish

... like overtime we'll see an IDE the same way the latest crop of coders views vim or emacs, so I'm very in favor of moving away from an IDE despite using one myself! Comment from vishal pandey(@vshpandey96): does not make much difference at the end it's all about the prompt you make, context you give, testing done and feedback provided for vibe coding. also you would need to understand certain part of codes, discuss with ... ... vibe coder angle! I ve had similar moments toggling between visual comfort and CLI efficiency, Cursor s visual clarity is great for quick edits, but Gemini CLI with Warp feels like it s reading your intent before you even finish

... noticeable. My style is a bit loose fit, so if you re used to muscle shirts or a tighter fit, this won t be an option for you. My first impression of the actual device was that the plastic finish felt a little underwhelming, especially if you re used to the polish of Apple or Nothing devices. This made me want to hide the device vs

... everything. I spent the next 3 weeks rethinking the entire product. I rebuilt Quala from time-based feedback forms to contextual, behavior-driven micro-prompts: User stuck on a setup step? Trigger a simple Was this clear? Leaving before finishing onboarding? Show: Still looking for something? Abandoned an upload? Ask why, while it s still fresh. This version captures rich behavioral context, so the feedback is not just honest, it s actionable. The launch could still flop. But honestly ... ... discovering a deeper problem and building a more focused solution. Comment from Adam Martelletti(@adam_martelletti): Curious from a product perspective, how are developers expected to define the triggers? Lots of variables here. Elements, user events, one-time vs

... philosophy at Warp is that over the next year the process of developers starting off projects editing code by hand in IDEs will become relatively obsolete and most coding tasks will start with a prompt (and many will be finished by one). It s a strong take - but that s the future we re building towards at Warp. Our entire team is super thankful for all the love and support that we ve gotten from the Product Hunt community ... ... controlling the terminal application and giving the agent access to terminal commands and CLI tools, which are typically pretty fast. However, we are ultimately limited by the speed of the underlying model providers. Different models are optimized for speed vs

I understood it like that from this video. :) Or did I interpret it wrong? Comment from Nika(@busmark ... ... Comment from Ruth Heasman(@ruthheasman): My first app is called Revision.Quest and I built it in a hurry for my son to revise for his GCSEs earlier this year. It s still unfinished, and maybe I ll never finish

... 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. Positioning Pivot: Cursor for Slides Karpathy s weekend ... ... first official launch lots more to learn, so eager for your hard-earned wisdom. Drop thoughts below and I ll reply during the next check-in. Thanks again! Comment from Hamza Afzal Butt(@hamza_afzal_butt): Massive congrats, Tejas finishing

... broken at execution. The will to build is there. The system to protect that will doesn t exist. Planning tools are abundant. Discipline systems are nonexistent. We don t need more dashboards. We need something that forces us to finish. What FORGE does: It starts simple: You set a mission write, build, ship, code You pick your app Notion, Notes, Obsidian, Xcode FORGE locks you into that app. Literally. Then it gets intense: Try to switch? Your phone screams. Loud ... ... where the biggest startup risk is silent productivity collapse Full execution dashboard: revenue pipeline + product focus + time integrity in one place Eventually: FORGE becomes the execution layer of your second brain. An anti-distraction regime that forces builders to finish

... Product Hunt community! First off, WOW. Thank you all SO much for the incredible support last week! Because of you amazing people, ReachLLM hit Top 10 worldwide and finished at #11 for the day. That kind of validation from this community means everything to a solo builder like me!

Comment from Matt Carroll(@catt_marroll): I've been (slowly) working on a notifications system for my side project! this weekend I hope to finish the v1, which should allow users to "no-code" their own notifications based on different triggers that happen in the app!

I use Apple Notes for this at the moment ... ... want to test the market without putting in the time Comment from Gerome(@gerome24): @jakecrump  This is undoubtedly a highly complex problem, and I am still in the process of completing it. However, the humanization tool is already finished

... life disappeared. It felt the same way as if, one day, nobody would be playing on Call of Duty 2 servers anymore (that hasn t happened yet, right?). Anyway, here I ve compiled a list of the top 6 alternatives to Skype for international calling. I used the following criteria to select them: VoIP-based . That means I only need an internet connection to use the service. Calls from most SIMs abroad are prohibitively expensive, and eSIMs typically include only ... ... analytics dashboard. That s a helpful feature if you have a lot of no-answer calls and you want to analyze what s going wrong. Best for: individuals and teams who want a simple, powerful, and flexible alternative

... have a technical background, and the learning curve of software engineering is pretty steep. It would be too much of an ask to investigate stacktrace and come up with sound debugging instructions. They are not comfortable with the VS-Code like IDE, and do not have confidence reviewing a diff. What option is it out there to help them succeed? My first instinct is to build a debugging AI agent specialized in various types of issues. But after helping ... ... vibe coders get their apps across the finish

... video calls, but there was a niche of people who used Skype to make cheap international calls to mobile and landline numbers. That was a golden opportunity major playing leaving the market, and its users scrambling for an alternative. That s how I made Yadaphone. I took one feature of Skype I used myself making cheap overseas calls, and created a website that allowed people to do it. Launch I built an MVP in a weekend. The design was minimalist ... ... people upvoting Yadaphone. I panicked and started spamming about it in all my social media. I also sent an email to all my existing users and it was super helpful. My own users started uploading the product, and we finished

... people don t build because they overthink . They want it to be perfect , beautiful , VC-ready , viral on launch day. And then they never published. I ve been that guy . I ve had 100 ideas sitting in Notion. Half-finished Figma files. Codebases with two commits and a README that says coming soon . But one night, I just got tired of it. Tired of waiting for the right time. Tired of convincing myself I needed more resources, a team ... ... learn something while doing real life stuff. I love books. But I don t always have time to sit and read. And the audiobook world? Yeah, it s a mess. You either pay monthly for something you might not finish

... wake up to thousands of sign ups and the Product of the Day badge. The reality was very different. We saw a tiny boost in sign ups, got stuck at around 200 upvotes, and to top it off, finished below a food blender. Thankfully the story didn t end there. Since then, we ve launched two more times and the results were way better: two top 5 finishes

... mind me working in "unusual" times or days). On the other hand, there are days I cannot come up with something creative and I am stuck in a stereotype chain/loop. What really worked for me are 2 things: Alternating work blocks with leisure time activities throughout the day (e.g. workout, work , walk, work , meal prep, work ) Short-term projects I get more motivated with each new project I start (it's like a dopamine boost), it fits me better ... ... more a "starter" type of person than a "finisher

... while back, I noticed a problem: AI is great at starting tasks but not at finishing them.  It drafts, automates, and processes, but when it comes to real execution? Humans still make the difference. We've seen AI generate ideas, summarize documents, and even write code, but can it truly be trusted to complete a job without human intervention?  Whether it's marketing, design, writing, or development, AI often does the grunt work, but experts still need ... ... Pick best one what do you think AI work Best Alone? Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): It seems that AI has the same problem as me  I am good at starting things, but it is worse for finishing

... After 20 years grinding through (and learning from) the corporate machine from engineering to project and product management I decided to dive headfirst into something new: building products that (hopefully) make life better. Right now, I'm putting the finishing touches on my first product. It s been both scary and exciting. To those of you who ve walked this path before or those journeying alongside me I d love to hear from you and learn from your experience. Hope ... ... there, at the finish

... have testimonials from people yet, use a video where you demonstrate the product; ideally show your face too human aspect. It s better to let people test the product for free because it might not be technically finished yet, viz. my experience. (People, who don't pay, are not so loud on the internet as people who already paid, IYKWIM.) Do you have a similar experience? Next time, we could cover how to prevent fraud, btw. (I have ... ... from Konrad S.(@konrad_sx): @luke_arwayda  You're surely right that one has to be careful with comparisons, I think the comparison should be objective, also showing possible disadvantages of your product, and include all the top competitors

... Threads was formed by trying to compete with X, when there was an exodus of people from X(formerly twitter) after twitter was changed to X. If you build a product by focusing on how to outcompete your competitor, you don't end up winning with your audience. If you build a product with the mindset of improving upon yourself constantly based on feedback and customer review you win the audience. Philosophy behind this Finite
