PH launch was an utter flop, but reddit helped me make $360+ revenue in one month

I made $300+ revenue from Reddit in a month of launching my iOS app called SinceWhen.

I launched my app on PH this Tuesday(31st March), it's an utter flop. Couldn't grab upvotes enough to get visibility. I checked multiple times within 4 hours to see if my app gets shown in top 10, as PH updated its algo to randomize the products within 4 hours. But not even one time I could see my product. Not sure how PH is working but it's been so bad for me.

About my app:

Standard habit trackers are amazing for daily routines like coding or working out. But I found they completely fail at the irregular maintenance of life—changing the AC filter, watering specific plants, or taking as-needed meds. If you track a task you only do every 3 weeks, daily "streaks" just create a giant red calendar of guilt.

I wanted a frictionless system that just answers: "When did I last do that?"

So, I built SinceWhen. It’s an "anti-habit tracker" that skips the streaks and calculates your true average intervals instead.

We built a platform that takes your vibe-coded apps to production + launching on Product Hunt today!

2026 has been a busy year!

After a lot of work improving Diploi, we decided to launch on Product Hunt!

The idea behind Diploi is simple:

Tools like Lovable make it incredibly easy to build app prototypes with AI, and it's easier than ever to start a project locally and get it to a point when you are ready to show it to the world

But getting what you build, into production with real environments, team workflows, and reliable deployments is still difficult

Diploi handles all of that

You can import projects from Lovable, Next.js, React, Django, FastAPI, Blazor, ASP.net, Laravel... and more, and get a consistent development, staging, and production environments with one click!

You don't have to know Docker, or setup CI/CD pipelines manually. It supports a wide range of stacks including Python, PHP, C#, .NET, Supabase, MariaDB, and more

A few things that set us apart:

Zero DevOps overhead, as environments spin up automatically Built-in browser IDE with Claude and ChatGPT Codex support Works as a monorepo with any combination of frameworks and databases New team members can be onboarded in minutes, not days Cloud development environments to code using isolated environments, without running anything locally

Find us in Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/products/diploi?launch=diploi-2

You can try Diploi without registering an account at all https://diploi.com/

Any questions, just comment 😌

Day 9 — Building in Public: Mobile First 📱

Day 9 — Building in Public: Mobile First 📱

I connected my project to Vercel via CLI, clicked the “Enable Analytics” button…

and instantly got real user data.

Where users came from, mobile vs desktop usage, and bounce rates.

No complex setup. No extra code.

That’s when I realized: 69% of my users are on mobile (almost 2x desktop).

It made sense.

Most traffic came from Threads, Reddit, and X — platforms where people mostly browse on mobile.

So today, I focused on mobile optimization.

A few takeaways:

• You can’t fit everything like desktop → break it into steps

• Reduce visual noise (smaller icons, fewer labels)

• On desktop, cursor changes guide users → on mobile, I had to add instructions like “Tap where you want to place the marker”

AI-assisted coding made this insanely fast. What used to take days now takes hours.

We can now ship, learn, and adapt much faster.

That’s why I believe in building in public.

Don’t build alone. I’m creating a virtual space called Build In Live, where builders can collaborate, share inspiration, and give real-time feedback together. If you want a space like this, support my journey!

Model Database Protocol

Model Database Protocol

Model Database Protocol – Stop letting LLMs write raw SQL

I built an open-source MCP server that sits between LLMs and your database. Instead of letting the model generate raw SQL, it sends structured intents like:

{"intent": "list", "entity": "orders", "filters": {"total__gte": 100}, "limit": 10}

MDBP validates everything against a schema registry, enforces access policies (field-level, role-based, row filters), builds parameterized queries via SQLAlchemy, and returns LLM-friendly responses.

**Why?**
- LLMs hallucinate table/column names → MDBP catches it with schema validation
- Raw SQL from LLMs = injection risk → MDBP uses parameterized queries only
- No access control → MDBP enforces per-entity, per-role policies

**Features:**
- Auto-discovers your DB schema (zero config to start)
- All transports: stdio, SSE, Streamable HTTP, WebSocket
- Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP client
- Supports SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY, HAVING, UNION, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
- Row-level filtering for tenant isolation

Python Library: pip install mdbp

Happy to answer questions or hear feedback!

Why do people launch?

My question is, why do people launch their product on sites like Product Hunt, Peer Push, Beta List etc…

I have a PH launch scheduled for next week, but the more I launch on other sites and see nothing come of it, even when finishing #1 for the day or trending for the week, I wonder why people bother at all.

Is it because potential investors will be interested in how a launch went? Is it to find beta users and gather feedback? Is it to stroke the ego? Is it for temporary visibility?

I don’t know, maybe I am just looking at it wrong. What are your thoughts?

I just launched my habit tracker on Product Hunt. Built it solo while learning marketing, pricing, and growth from scratch.

I'm Rishad, a solo indie dev. A few months ago I got frustrated with habit apps that made you track 20 things at once and then guilt you when you fail.

So I built Habstick — a minimalist, privacy-first habit tracker. No account. No ads. No internet required. All data stays on your device, encrypted with AES-256.

The free tier intentionally limits you to 3 habits. Not a dark pattern — it's the whole philosophy. Focus on fewer things and actually stay consistent.

Some numbers so far:

  • 65k+ downloads on Play Store
  • Just launched on iOS
  • ~$200/month after adding a paywall in February

Just launched on Product Hunt today. Would love your upvotes and honest feedback — especially what makes you actually stick with a habit tracker long-term.

Why a lot of screen recordings look really bad

A small detail makes a huge difference in screen recordings:

the cursor.

In most recordings, it is tiny, shaky, and easy to miss. That makes the whole recording harder to follow.

Tight Studio fixes that automatically with a cursor that stays smooth, clear, and easy to track.

Check out the comparison video. Would love to hear your feedback!!!

I Built an AI Tool That Creates Product Listings Automatically

Hello,

I’m working on a tool that automatically generates product listings using AI.

The goal is to make posting on marketplaces and social media much faster.

How it works:

  • Upload a photo of your product
  • Write a basic description (e.g., “new Apple headphones”)
  • Select the platform where you want to post

The tool then automatically generates an optimized listing with:

  • Optimized title
  • Full description
  • SEO / keywords
  • Platform-specific formatting

A common question I get is:
“Why not just use any AI and write a prompt?”

The difference is that this tool removes repetitive work and is specifically designed to create listings that maximize:

  • Views
  • Clicks
  • Sales

I’m currently improving it and would love your input:
What’s the hardest part for you when creating product listings?

  • Title
  • Description
  • SEO
  • Images
  • Something else?

Slapwindows for a windows users like slapMac

Slapwindows for a windows users like slapMac

SlapWindows for a Windows User like SlapMac

So a few days ago I saw SlapMac (slapmac) go absolutely viral - a Mac app that makes your MacBook scream when you slap it.

My first thought was: "That's stupid."

My second thought was: "Windows users deserve this too."

So I built SlapWindows.

and right now it got 104 upvotes on product hunt

https://www.producthunt.com/posts/slapwindows

Here's what it does:

\- Listens through your microphone

\- Detects when you slap your desk or laptop lid

\- Immediately plays a dramatic sound reaction

\- Runs silently in the system tray, always watching, always waiting

But the real highlight? *USB Moaner Mode.*

Every time you plug or unplug a USB device — it moans. I don't know why I built this. I can't undo it now.

*7 voice packs to choose from:*

\- 💋 Sexy (please use headphones)

\- 🥊 Combo Hit

\- 👨 Male

\- 💨 Fart

\- 🎩 Gentleman

\- 🌸 Yamete

\- 🐐 Goat (the correct choice)

It's $4. One time. No subscription. No investor pitch deck. Just a laptop that finally has consequences.

Already got a few users.

AMA I guess.

Why you should never use Loom or basic screen recordings for your launch video

Hi everyone!

A small detail makes a huge difference in screen recordings:

the cursor.

In most recordings, it is tiny, shaky, and easy to miss. That makes the whole recording harder to follow.

Tight Studio fixes that automatically with a cursor that stays smooth, clear, and easy to track.

We won Product of the Day on ProductHunt earlier, and would be happy to offer any feedback for your launch video.

I built an "Anti-Stress" app that only asks for 120 seconds. Here is why I’m skipping the AI hype. 🥑✨

I built an "Anti-Stress" app that only asks for 120 seconds. Here is why I’m skipping the AI hype. 🥑✨

Hi Product Hunt community!

I’m the maker behind Whimsy. Like many of you, my phone usually feels like a source of stress-endless pings, complex dashboards, and "productivity" apps that feel like a second job.

I wanted to build a "Digital Sanctuary" that does the opposite. Instead of asking for 30 minutes of deep meditation, Whimsy focuses on 2-minute Micro-Rituals.

Why I’m excited to share this with you:

  • The "Two-Minute Rule": Inspired by habit science, I built rituals like Origami Breath and Gratitude Pebble to be so short that you have zero excuse to skip them.
  • Aesthetic-First Design: I spent months on the UI/UX. I wanted an app that feels like a deep breath just by opening it. No cluttered menus, just "Sparks."
  • The Vault & Avo: We have a unique "Weekly Capsule" system. You collect your rituals like treasures, and your mascot, Whimsy, glows brighter as you stay consistent.
  • Human over AI: I intentionally avoided adding a generic chatbot. Whimsy is about tactile, human moments-using your breath, your camera, and your surroundings to ground you.

I’m currently in the pre-launch/growth phase and would love to hear from this community: What is the one "tiny ritual" that keeps you sane during a busy launch week?

Check it out here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/whimsy-tiny-daily-rituals/id6760462044

I’d love your feedback on the flow and the "ritual" mechanics! 🚀

Got access to Seedance 2.0 for free and spent 30 minutes playing with it during work

A platform that just integrated Seedance 2.0 sent me an invitation to try it out these past couple days.

I was technically supposed to be working, so I only spent around 30 minutes playing with it during a break. Still, as someone who uses AI video tools quite a bit, I ended up with some mixed feelings about this update.

Good stuff: visuals and motion feel much better.

The first thing I noticed is that the overall motion and physical realism improved a lot compared to older AI video models.

If you've used AI video tools before, you probably know the pain, characters dancing or walking and suddenly their arms twist in impossible ways. With Seedance 2.0, character movement looks much more natural. The body structure stays consistent and the skeleton doesn't collapse as easily. That alone is a pretty big upgrade.

The videos feel smoother overall. Frame transitions look stable, and I didn't notice the usual flickering or weird frame jumps that happen in some models.

Even when nothing complicated is happening, the clips are just pleasant to watch.

Downside: prompt control still feels inconsistent

Prompt adherence isn't always great.

Even when I tried writing fairly detailed prompts, the model still seemed to follow its own ideas sometimes.

Certain scene details get ignored. Lighting or atmosphere descriptions don't always show up.

So the result often looks good visually, but not exactly what I asked for.

Which probably means I'd have to run multiple generations to get what I want. If that's the case, hopefully the platform, Haimeta, offers reasonable credit pricing, I’d be happy to pay for this.
