Been experimenting with OpenClaw for 2 weeks. Instead of writing about how it changed my workflows, I asked my agent to write it from its side. Surprisingly entertaining read.

Is it a private repository? Because link is redirecting to 404. Also you should launch this on Peerlist. Many devs would find this one useful

1. ChatGPT I use it mostly to dump quick ideas and then expand them later by using it as my thinking partner. Also I use chatgpt for brainstorming ideas for marketing campaigns, writing copies etc. I have few custom GPTs created for my every use case

2. Claude I use Claude projects for writing articles and for SEO optimisation

3. Cursor I use Cursor for coding daily. Now quite used to the flow it creates and makes my coding super fast

4. Sora and Gemini For image generation. Mostly I need that to share social media posts

All other AI tools come and go but these are 4 constants for me for last few months.

The current state of Product Hunt is sad. We launched our site in May 2022 and got an amazing response, very good visibility, and ended up being the product of the day. We also created a lot of buzz with this. Then, we were going out of beta so we launched again in Jan 2024. This time the launch wasn't as good. We got only 10% of the traffic as of 2022 even after being Product of the day again. Lots of spam from people to get fake upvotes. I totally understand that at the scale of PH, this is a hard problem to solve.

But back in 2023, we created a feature in our app called Peerlist Project Spotlight to showcase and launch side projects. But instead of daily we made it weekly. The idea was to give side projects better visibility and prepare projects for a bigger launch on the product hunt, but now people are considering Peerlist Spotlight as an alternative to the PH launch.

Validating your idea is something with which every person struggles initially!

I am a startup founder, building a product in a professional networking space for the last 2 years.

I still meet many people who think and question why we started this! And many many people resonate with our idea and use our product.

The point is, initially not everyone will get the entire picture of what you are doing, plus when it comes to our friends and family, they genuinely want us not to fail and hence keep finding flaws in our ideas. But, if you get a conviction on your idea, build at least an MVP. Go deeper and understand the depth of the water.

Now about finding a good idea —

I would still suggest starting small! If you are tired of finding a problem to solve, find a product that you really like and start building something similar to that. You will end up building something good and useful.

Building a sie project is a topic very close to my heart! I am building a product around this, happy to share about it if you are interested. :)

Good luck!

First-time founder here!

I have always worked as a developer and have been building products for the past 6 years. But as a founder, you need to know GTM and growth for your product!

Initially, we used to think that we could outsource, but we were so wrong! :D Hence, now learning it on our own.

Happy to take help and suggestions, or if you are up for the discussion around growth, GTM and marketing.

Loved the idea and the entire project! Starred it on GitHub.

One suggestion, when I land on the website I would love to see a small example already added. Basic CSV and some SQL queries to run and play with.

It would be best if you also launch it on Peerlist. Many people are working in a similar space there, they also might find this useful.

Hi there,

I am building peerlist.io, its the Professional Networking platform for people in Tech and Startups. Why you should consider Peerlist -

1. It has a good job board with 200+ quality jobs 2. It has verified profiles where you can verify your present work experience 3. A strong community of tech and startup people.

Do check this :)

Have seen both good and bad opinions around coding bootcamps. Are they worth the time and money?

Strongly agree!

I believe remote work and async communication increased the feedback loop and reduced focus. For you to get your PR reviewed/merged or simply unblock some other person, will require more time than working together.
