Do you remember when we talked about Duolingo replacing staff with AI about a week ago?

The story continues.

Hey Product Hunt family!

Wanna hear your thoughts on tools for news feeds or news digest!

Every day, the PH feed is packed with shiny new SaaS tools most of them browser-based, many of them AI-infused. It s exciting, no doubt. But compared to a time not so long ago, something seems missing: local desktop apps.

They re rare now, and it makes me wonder are native apps still worth building, or have they quietly slipped into the realm of nostalgia?

After all, web apps offer clear benefits for both users and makers or investors. Users don t have to install anything, updates are seamless, and their data is accessible from any device with a browser. For investors, the advantages are just as compelling: a single tech stack, easier user onboarding, lock-in effects, and plenty of levers for driving growth and virality.

Welcome to the MLP era.

Let s talk about it:

and how i got hunters to back my launch

most people treat product hunt like a slot machine. pull the lever, hope for upvotes. but if you re launching anything serious, that s a waste.

Like most things, Loopify started out of frustration.

Cameron and I were just trying to find a simple way to post across multiple platforms but what we found were either outdated tools that felt like flip-phone era relics, or shiny ones charging premium prices for the bare minimum. Or both. So we started building what we wished existed. Something modern, clean, and actually pleasant to use.

Right now, we re in learning mode talking to creators, marketers, and small teams to understand what actually matters in a tool like this.

Curious to hear your thoughts:

This is a small test of your financial literacy and entrepreneurial mindset. :)

The art is mostly about making the most of the least, so share your approach to situations where you have to be creative.

We're seeing a huge influx of AI-powered tools, and it's exciting! But I'm starting to wonder if the rush to integrate AI into everything is leading to feature bloat and a more complicated user experience.

Are we sometimes sacrificing simplicity and intuitive design in the name of "AI-powered" functionality? Is every problem really best solved with AI, or are there situations where a simpler, more direct approach is actually better for the user?

Hey Product Hunt community!

I've been building some increasingly complex automations lately across different platforms (Make.com, n8n, Zapier) that connect multiple AI services together. While the technical side works beautifully, I'm hitting a major pain point: figuring out how much each automation actually costs to run.

Each of us leaves a digital footprint on the internet. The only difference is how much data and information we share publicly about ourselves.

For example, my local friend doesn't use his photo or name on his profiles so that no one will associate him too much with his income or political ideology.
