Been experimenting with OpenClaw for 2 weeks. Instead of writing about how it changed my workflows, I asked my agent to write it from its side. Surprisingly entertaining read.
the book looks useful for beginers to visualise and understand concepts better. Alignment of table of contents and FAQ section is breaking on larger screens. I will share this one on Peerlist as well, many devs their might find it useful.
1. ChatGPT
I use it mostly to dump quick ideas and then expand them later by using it as my thinking partner. Also I use chatgpt for brainstorming ideas for marketing campaigns, writing copies etc. I have few custom GPTs created for my every use case
2. Claude
I use Claude projects for writing articles and for SEO optimisation
3. Cursor
I use Cursor for coding daily. Now quite used to the flow it creates and makes my coding super fast
4. Sora and Gemini
For image generation. Mostly I need that to share social media posts
All other AI tools come and go but these are 4 constants for me for last few months.
The current state of Product Hunt is sad. We launched our site in May 2022 and got an amazing response, very good visibility, and ended up being the product of the day. We also created a lot of buzz with this. Then, we were going out of beta so we launched again in Jan 2024. This time the launch wasn't as good. We got only 10% of the traffic as of 2022 even after being Product of the day again. Lots of spam from people to get fake upvotes. I totally understand that at the scale of PH, this is a hard problem to solve.
But back in 2023, we created a feature in our app called Peerlist Project Spotlight to showcase and launch side projects. But instead of daily we made it weekly. The idea was to give side projects better visibility and prepare projects for a bigger launch on the product hunt, but now people are considering Peerlist Spotlight as an alternative to the PH launch.
I liked the way you added YouTube videos of trailers. This is a nice project, similar one I saw on Peerlist Project Spotlight where someone added a book recommendation based on mood. You should also launch this on Peerlist.
Validating your idea is something with which every person struggles initially!
I am a startup founder, building a product in a professional networking space for the last 2 years.
I still meet many people who think and question why we started this! And many many people resonate with our idea and use our product.
The point is, initially not everyone will get the entire picture of what you are doing, plus when it comes to our friends and family, they genuinely want us not to fail and hence keep finding flaws in our ideas. But, if you get a conviction on your idea, build at least an MVP. Go deeper and understand the depth of the water.
Now about finding a good idea —
I would still suggest starting small! If you are tired of finding a problem to solve, find a product that you really like and start building something similar to that. You will end up building something good and useful.
Building a sie project is a topic very close to my heart! I am building a product around this, happy to share about it if you are interested. :)
