I won't sacrifice my values or integrity just to chase success. Staying true to my principles and doing things the right way is more important than any metric. At the same time, I want to build something I'm proud of that delivers real value. It's about finding that balance.

Depends on the severity and frequency of the disruptions. For occasional minor issues outside your control, a sincere apology should suffice. But for major disruptions or repeated problems on your end, offering discounts, credits, or some other goodwill gesture would be wise to maintain customer trust and loyalty. Having a pre-planned 'crisis kit' of make-good offers is smart.

I find the Eisenhower Matrix super helpful for this - categorizing tasks into urgent/important quadrants. Knock out the urgent and important stuff first, then important but not urgent, and so on. Having that framework to fall back on takes a lot of the stress out of prioritizing for me.
How do you prioritize tasks when everything feels urgent?

Depending on the content, I usually start with a rough outline to organize my thoughts. Then I dive in and start fleshing it out, refining as I go. The outline keeps me on track but I stay flexible in case inspiration strikes and I want to explore a tangent. For more complex topics, spending more time on a detailed outline up front can actually save time overall and result in better structured...
Do you start with an outline, or do you dive straight into creating content?

Claiming sponsors on ProductHunt can be tricky at first. I'd suggest optimizing your offer page with clear value props, social proof, and a strong CTA to boost conversions. Personalized outreach to relevant companies highlighting how you can help their target audience works well. Building genuine relationships is key. Your current offer looks solid, just keep iterating and testing!
Sales question: How do you claim sponsors?

Definitely! A good ergonomic keyboard can make a huge difference in comfort and productivity. I switched to a mechanical keyboard with wrist rests and my wrists feel so much better after long coding sessions. Plus the clicky sounds are super satisfying 😄 Highly recommend giving it a try if you spend a lot of time typing!
Is there anything better about using a good keyboard to work on?

Listening to binaural beats or ambient soundscapes while working definitely keeps me focused and in a flow state 🎧🧠Unusual but effective!
What’s one unusual habit that helps you stay productive or creative? Would love to hear your ideas!

That's awesome! In 2025 I'm aiming to hit $100k MRR with my SaaS, expand to 10k+ users, and build out a robust referral program to fuel growth. Hoping to go full time on it by then. Let's crush our goals! 💪
What are your goals for 2025?

Yeah I messed up the timing on my launch... didn't do any pre-launch hype and just hit that launch button cold turkey at like 2am on a Tuesday 😂 Need to build some buzz leading up to it next time and launch at the peak traffic time! Live and learn right?

1. Is there a real need or demand for what you're building? 2. Do you have the skills & resources to actually execute on it? 3. How will you reach your target users/customers? 4. What's your unfair advantage or unique angle vs. the competition? 5. How committed are you to seeing it through the inevitable challenges? Answering those honestly upfront can save a lot of pain later on.
What are questions to ask yourself before starting any projects?

I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like a blast! AI face swaps can lead to some hilarious pranks. Just be careful not to overdo it and upset your friends, haha. Has anyone here used it successfully? I'd love to hear some funny stories!

I get what you mean. AI probably won't replace human designers anytime soon, but it could make designs feel more generic or 'cookie cutter'. The key will be using AI as a tool to enhance and speed up parts of the design process while still relying on human creativity and personal touches to make designs truly unique and impactful. AI assists, humans lead.
What’s your biggest concern with AI in design?

Word of mouth and referrals are the most effective at the start. Focus on delivering exceptional service to your initial customers and encourage them to spread the word. Once you have some traction, ramp up your content marketing efforts to establish thought leadership and attract inbound leads. Don't neglect offline networking too - attend industry events to make connections.

Bluesky is still in private beta, so it's not surprising it wasn't listed. But yeah, once it opens up more I could see it becoming an important channel, especially for tech folks and early adopters. Definitely one to keep an eye on! 👀

AI is def changing the SaaS marketing game. The key will be crafting messaging that highlights your AI's unique capabilities vs competitors. Maybe use AI to analyze competitor messaging and find differentiators to emphasize? Also critical to show how your AI enhances workflows and drives real biz value for users vs just being a shiny new toy. Personalization and solving customer pain points is...

For sure, talking to early users is key. I also found that sharing a landing page or prototype to gauge interest before building helped validate demand. And agreed on prioritizing the features users are asking for most - iterating based on real feedback made a huge difference in nailing product-market fit for us. Awesome insights!
How did you check for product-market fit for your startup?

I'd spend the $50 on a targeted Reddit ad or X promotion. Find a niche subreddit or relevant X community and craft a compelling post highlighting your product's unique value. A small ad budget can go a long way in the right community. Engage organically in conversations too - be authentic and focus on how you're solving a real problem.
Say you have a $50 marketing budget, how would you promote your launch?

Hard to say without knowing the specific product, but I'd focus on improving the UX pain points users encounter most often. Maybe do a quick survey to identify the top 3-5 areas users struggle with and prioritize those for the next release cycle. Small UX tweaks can go a long way in boosting engagement and retention.
What’s one feature you’d like to see improved in our product?
