I’m an AI Researcher Launching a Travel-Productivity App – Ask Me Anything!

Hey Product Hunt!

I’m Hadar, an AI researcher and solo founder, launching Locator, a travel-productivity app that helps you save and map locations from blogs, social media, and anywhere on the web. If you've ever found a cool spot online and later struggled to remember where it was—Locator fixes that. Just drop the link, and it extracts locations automatically.

A bit about me: I lead a Machine Learning team at a startup, specializing in time series AI, and recently published a paper at ICML. But I’ve always loved building things, and Locator started as a side project to solve my travel-planning struggles. Now, I’m launching it to the world!

Ask me anything about:
🚀 The journey of building Locator as a solo founder
🛠️ Tech stack (React Native, Firebase, AI for location extraction)
📈 Growth, marketing, and Product Hunt strategy
🤖 AI in travel & productivity
💼 Balancing a startup with a full-time AI leadership role

Would love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions—fire away! 🔥
