Hey, I ve been a software engineer (backend) for over nine years and have been wanting to build something on my own for a while now. I have ideas, good planning skills, and the discipline to execute, but unfortunately, I lack the experience as an entrepreneur, which I believe is an important aspect. This has led me to consider finding partners to help me bring my ideas to life or collaborate on new projects. However, it s been challenging to find people who are committed, structured, have a long-term mindset, and maintain positive energy. Many people get excited about a project initially, but then they disappear or lose interest when results don t come quickly. And unfortunately, I m not in a position to hire people at the moment. Has anyone else been through this? How have you found people who are truly committed to the long haul?

We are a small team of 2 who built NotionApps - a no-code app builder specifically designed for Notion users.

We first launched NotionApps on Product Hunt late 2023. Back then, it was just an MVP. We ve since added a variety of features and all the essential building blocks that turn Notion into a reliable backend to build apps, special thanks to feedback we got from our early users.
We launched our second version today, and felt like this is a good time to engage with the Notion community here.

@DataBricks just announced acquiring @Neon for $1B source: TechCrunch

How do you feel about this announcement? Would you keep using it or migrate to an alternative?

Export has been one of the most requested features in Tana, and we hear you. Your notes are yours, and you should never feel locked into any tool. It s taken time to build it the right way, but we re excited to say: First version of Export as Markdown is finally here.

Whether you re backing up, migrating, or sharing, it s now easier than ever to get your data out of Tana, your way:

Export entire workspace as Markdown

Download specific subsets of nodes (e.g. all items with a supertag), with or without fields

Caution: We re treading on thin ice.

I understand why big companies lobby for better conditions in their field. I see it more as a form of collective interest.

We re building a mental health support system.

simple, real, and built by people who ve been through it.

Help us shape it.

I ve been building apps for 3 years little to no success. Recently, I launched my first successful startup Yadaphone. It lets people and teams make cheap international calls from the browser. In under 3 months, it reached 1500 users, 7 enterprise customers, and brought in $15,000 in revenue.

Before that, I thought I had a clear idea of how indie hacking works: you build something, launch it, get users, and continue doing the same stuff as at the start, but on a larger scale (and get $$$). That couldn t be further from the truth. Here are the top problems I wish someone had warned me about.

Have you ever considered the human biases that might slow down the adoption of your product?

I'm currently working on building my first AI product (coming soon!), and I wanted to share some thoughts on the adoption challenges I anticipate.

Hey folks!

We re gearing up for our next launch and would love your input.

Hey PH community

I m exploring the integration of Model Context Protocol (MCP) the vendor-neutral standard for passing app-specific context into LLMs and I m curious if anyone here has already worked with it.

Any tool available in market which has multiple models can call different functions and works as a MCP and can increase the productivity of our development team for end to end Full stack development

January: Say Hello to Mastodon

Great news for Mastodon users! We're excited to announce our third integration: share your updates on Mastodon alongside X (Twitter) and BlueSky - all from your menu bar. Simple and easy!

• New Platform: Added Mastodon, matching all the same features as X and BlueSky

• Quick Access: Left-click to start writing, right-click for menu options - super simple! watch video

• Live Updates: Watch your post's journey in real-time right on the post button - watch video

• Redesigned Settings: Manage your accounts and preferences in one place - see before vs after

• Sound Effects: Added some fun sounds when you open the composer and successfully post (don't worry, you can turn them off in settings)

Hi Hunters

I m currently building a product that blends digital efficiency with human warmth. It s designed to solve a real pain point, but in a way that respects emotion, context, and intuition.

Think:

Tech that doesn t just work , it understands.

A lot of us tend to neglect our health, being so entrenched in the work we're doing. That's unfortunate because without health, we can't really do much. It should be prioritized above all.

Prioritizing health starts with simple habits. Personally, exercising even just 45 minutes a day (usually in the morning) - whether that's lifting weights or shooting hoops has greatly improved my posture, energy levels, confidence, and mental clarity. It sounds cliche, but I really do believe exercising is a super-enhancer.
What is one healthy habit that has yielded improvements for you?

Thought we would make an update, since we redesigned the interface to better reflect what matters most: personality-first matching.

Here s what s new

For me, the best monetisation model is CapCut (especially that psychological side of that).

They let me use their free desktop version the whole time, so I started being dependent on them.

It's simple. Drop your next big idea and get some brutally honest but hopefully valuable feedback. The rules are:

• Drop your idea, you don't have to go super in depth but give a sentence or two about what it is and does.

• Get roasted, duh

• Roast someone else's.

That way we create a cycle of feedback

I created a simple tool by myself (not as part of a team), but I always feel like certain features aren't good enough or appealing enough. I understand that perfectionism can be harmful, but I really want to know how others overcome this mindset.

A friend of mine deals with it by simply closing their eyes, hitting publish, and turning off all notifications.

We just update our pricing model on Altern.

When you're a 9-5 employee, it's relatively easy to determine when your work starts and ends.

But what about when you work for yourself?

Single people probably have no boundaries in this, but a completely different scenario occurs when you have a family.

I am working on a windows version and an update to add in eye tracking device!
Stay tuned for updates to EyesOff.

If you have been using it and have any feedback let me know!

Text2Note now processes whole books (like The Metamorphosis ) in chunks for detailed, comprehensive notes, all in the background with no clicks needed.

Shared context between chunks ensures consistent, non-repetitive notes.

You write a post.

• AI optimizes the headline.

• A/B test decides the layout.

• Analytics picks the winner.

• SEO tools rewrite your words.

All of it works.

But suddenly, everything sounds the same.

As a small team, we need honest, targeted insights, but we haven t even set up a feedback loop yet. How can small teams get actionable feedback from potential customers without getting buried in vague comments?

I m curious:

• Have you found short surveys more effective than quick one-on-one calls or in-app prompts?

• What questions did you ask to cut through generic looks good replies and reveal real pain points?

• When did you first reach out right after signup, post-demo, or on a regular schedule and how often did you check in?

• Finally, what lightweight tools or simple templates made the process easy for your users and team?

We've all been there drowning in dashboards, buried in Notion docs, pinged in Slack threads, and still no clarity. As someone who's spent years working in ops and product, I'm constantly surprised at how hard it is to get a clean, real-time picture of what's actually going on in the business.

Why do we still need 4 tools and 5 people to answer simple questions like What s driving churn? or Are we hitting our sales targets?

Curious how others are thinking about this. If you're an operator, PM, or founder how are you solving this internally? Have you found workarounds or is it still duct tape + gut feeling?
