Hi folks! I know there are a bunch of AI interior design products already, but I think I stumbled on the best configuration with a few awesome features that make it really worth a try.
1. It actually re-arranges furniture unlike other products
2. It has a manual masking mode that lets you pinpoint exactly what you want to replace in your image.
3. It's 100% free, forever!
I built this as a...

Redesign your home with AI, AGAIN! Free, forever.
I know - ANOTHER Interior AI product?! BUT..
1. Jelli re-arranges your room furniture instead of just reskinning it.
2. Jelli gives you fine-tuned control over where furniture goes and what to replace
3. Jelli has a free forever plan.
Try it!

Hi PH!
We're a small indie team that was frustrated with constantly having to restart screen recordings. Sometimes I'd personally take an hour to record a 5-minute video! So we came up with an idea to let folks pause whenever they make a mistake, rewind a few seconds, and re-record over it.
So for folks who fumble words or are often interrupted by a dog barking (like me), Vento is a great...

Constantly restarting your screen recordings? With Vento you can just pause, rewind a few seconds, and re-record over any mistakes!
Perfect for people with dogs that bark, babies that cry, and who fumble the occasional word :)

I hate constantly restarting my screen recordings. So I fixed it!
Hoping for some idea validation here - I encountered a problem, came up with an idea to fix it, and I fixed it (I think!)
I built https://vento.so/, a screen recorder that lets you pause, rewind a few seconds, and re-record over any mistakes. Please let me know what you think! Harsh criticism encouraged :)

Lead designer @ Series B co here. I'd add that I put too much weight into what people said, and less into what they did. Actions speak louder than words. Watching someone use your software (or using it yourself) is way more informative than asking someone what they want to improve about it!
I came up with my latest startup idea this way - I was doing a ton of screen recordings and kept having...
What are some of the mistakes you did in your early design career? And how did you overcome it?

According to this post for a freemium product good is 2-5%. https://www.indiehackers.com/pos...
Currently with my saas screen recorder (lets you rewind & re-record over mistakes instead of always restarting - https://vento.so/) I've got a 2% donation rate, but will be putting in harder premium gates soon :)
What conversion rate (signed up user → paid user) is okay for SaaS product?

Is my landing page ready for a PH launch?
My value proposition is pretty simple, so instead of building a really long landing page with lots of explanations I thought I'd keep it short and sweet.
If you check out https://vento.so/ do you feel like you'd still have questions after skimming the landing page?

How I got a FB influencer (1.5m followers) to promote my product for free (with a guide!)
The key is to find influencers that actively post about new products to their audience. Many influencers built their followings by doing these kinds of posts, so it's sort of a win-win. Here was how I did it and I'm sure it's repeatable for many of you too.
Another important takeaway is that this channel is REPEATABLE. It's not a one-off reddit post, you can keep finding influencers on all the...

https://vento.so/ - Screen recording but you can pause, rewind a few seconds, and re-record over your mistakes/your dog barking.
Disclosure I'm the maker :) but it was #3 on Hacker News!
What are some of the best under-the-radar tools that you know of or use?

When to monetize? I built a free screen recorder that got 4k upvotes on reddit.
It's in a super raw state (hence no PH launch yet), but my reddit post got 4k upvotes and I've got a flood of people coming in. It's a screen recorder that lets you rewind & re-record over mistakes so you don't have to keep restarting the whole thing.
MVP of my product: https://vento.so/
On the one hand I'm worried that monetizing too early will handicap growth (I can cover hosting costs...
According to Carta, most companies localize remote pay based on where you live. Gilt List helps you find the companies that are paying you for what you're worth to them instead of what it costs for you to live in your city.

Hi PH! This is a small side project of mine while I'm in between jobs. While I was on the hunt for remote jobs, I ran into a stark difference in companies - those that localized pay and those who didn't.
I heard from a few companies after multiple rounds of interviews that the comp range they gave me initially would be cut by 20% due to my location. I just accepted an offer with a company...

Hey PH! I've got a full-time job and became a parent recently so...
I realized I'm subbed to so many tech newsletters but I really don't have time to read them all these days. They're also curated by one/a few people, so I'm at the whim of what those few deem worth reading.
I’d rather have ONE newsletter with ALL the best articles on the web, curated by MANY people so I can skim the most...

Designing/building a product? Researching how the top teams do it is a surefire way to make sure your work is world-class.
Problem is, that can take a lot of time/money! We're building a library of product walkthroughs that anyone can use for fast research.

Hi PH!
Jeremy & I have worked on a product team together for years, and we naturally find that we're always trying out different products for research. Sometimes it's for UX ("I need to design a downgrade plan for a subscription, how does Slack do it?") and sometimes it's just for product ideas and inspiration.
It can often take a lot of time/money to conduct this research though -...

Keep tabs on smart ETF managers like Cathie Woods and the biggest bets they're making.
Instead of checking 1000+ trades a day over 50+ ETFs, just follow beta Q on Twitter. We'll sift through the noise and post only when big moves happen.

Hi folks 👋!
I follow smart stock pickers like Cathie Woods, Ryan Jacobs, Chamath Palihapitiya, etc. to see what kinds of trades they make (or the funds they run/back make) for ideas on stocks to invest in.
Of course, I still do my due diligence - but with a full time job I don't have the capacity to do as much research as these folks do. So, when one of them makes a big trade, especially if...

My old man loves scrabble and I haven't seen him in over a year cus of covid so I built this to play with him next week for father's day (others are hard to use/restrictive).
You can use gifs, emotes, emojis, etc. and just share a link to play with friends!
