How would you use a personal accountability tool?
We are getting ready to launch an instant messaging-based (SMS/WhatsApp) peer-to-peer accountability chatbot - make a promise, (optionally agree to respond to nudges), keep your promise, and get a badge. How would you use it?
Why does all team collaboration software seem so unoriginal?
It seems like everyone keeps on getting this *amazing* idea to build a software for team collaboration, but it seems so unnecessary. With the number of solutions on the market, I genuinely don't understand why people continue to build these one-stop-shop type platforms. Personally, I believe that email is perfectly suitable for small teams. Any thoughts?
Marketing Teams vs. "Individuals" on Product Hunt?
As a product enthusiast, I feel like more and more marketing teams are dominating discussion threads and upvotes on Product Hunt. I go on Product Hunt every day to see what's up, check in with friends, and support new products. But, recently I've been sensing a trend that a larger proportion of the featured content (product pages, discussion posts, etc.) is stemming from marketing teams. This may be a hot take, but for a long time, I felt like Product Hunt was a place for product people to get discovered and for quality products to rise (not saying products backed by teams aren't also wonderful), but I just feel like the spirit of the community is steadily shifting. What's your take on this?
