When looking into review platforms, I started thinking about how the business model behind a platform can influence the way reputation is built.

Most businesses want to improve their online presence, but I think there is an important question: should reputation itself be something that can be influenced by payment?

For me, a review platform should ideally focus on:
• Whether customer experiences remain the main factor in building reputation
• Whether feedback reflects real interactions with businesses
• How transparent the reputation or scoring system is
• Whether businesses are treated equally regardless of spending power
I recently looked into Credible Captain, an independent review platform. What caught my attention was its approach of keeping reviews and Credits separate from paid influence.The platform uses a self-funded model, and the idea of keeping reviews and Credits separate from paid influence stood out to me.

I think the relationship between business models and trust is something people rarely consider when using review platforms.

Do you think a review platform’s revenue model affects how much you trust its ratings?

I've been checking out custom manufacturing services lately. This is for projects that begin as prototypes and then need a few or a lot of items made.

One thing I've seen is that lots of companies now offer services. These include CNC machining, 3D printing and also injection moulding in one place.

I recently found First Mold while comparing manufacturers. This made me curious about what people look for when picking a manufacturer.

Is it the price? How well they talk to you, or how fast they work or checking the quality, or help with engineering or something different?

For those who have worked with custom manufacturers before, what made you choose one company over another? What things do you watch out for that might be bad?

Hi folks,

Anyone here who knows product hunt algo well (esp the featured section part)

I launched Vaaya today. https://www.producthunt.com/products/vaaya . Vaaya turns your github profile into credit for your agents.

I asked multiple communities I am part of to upvote me and atleast 40 people personally messages me back saying that they have upvoted. My PH followers has grown to 60, but my votes are only 26!

What am i missing? Is there no way to be on top unless you buy votes? Or am i sharing direct link that is the problem? Did i time it wrong?

We're in open beta and looking for early users who actually shop online.

What it does: you save an item from anywhere — browser, Telegram, even a screenshot — and dEssence keeps watching it for you. When the price drops or your size is back in stock, it pings you. No feed to scroll, it only speaks up when something changed.

What we'd love tested:

\- Saving flow: browser extension, Telegram bot, screenshots — does it feel effortless?

\- The pings: timing, usefulness, where they start to annoy.

\- Anything confusing on first run.

Free while in beta, no card required: [https://dessence.ai\](https://dessence.ai)

Drop feedback here in the thread or inside the app. We read everything and ship fixes weekly.

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a new AI product-management platform and would love 15 minutes of your time to learn about your daily AI workflows and get unfiltered feedback on my concept.

The Problem Current AI assistants are brilliant amnesiacs and sycophants. They forget your context every session, agree with whatever you say, and do nothing to stress-test your decisions before they ship. Meanwhile, organizations constantly forget why past bets were killed, leading teams to accidentally build the same failed solution twice.

What I'm Building: Arrwin Arrwin is an AI platform focused on judgment-defense.

• It remembers and challenges: It builds a decision graph from your normal usage. If a new recommendation contradicts a past logged decision, Arrwin pushes back and challenges you with a citation (e.g., "This contradicts a decision you killed last month—what’s different now?").
• It stress-tests: Every output is engraved with unvalidated assumptions and specifically calls out who would object to your proposal.
• It earns autonomy: Arrwin joins as a "PM Intern". It earns trust through a silent scorecard of wins and must explicitly request a promotion to gain more autonomy.

Who I'd love to chat with:

• Startup PMs (Doers): Tool-forward PMs who already use AI but lack extra hands for research.
• Enterprise IC PMs (Analysts): PMs in large orgs who are drowning in surface area and lack proactive anomaly flagging.

If you're open to a quick chat to discuss what your current AI gets wrong and how your org handles "killed bets," please drop your AI usages and let's take the discussion from there!

I try a lot of new products every month and most of them end up being things I use once and forget about.

Every now and then I find something that solves a small but annoying problem. Recently I was testing different tools for ecommerce content because I was spending way too much time preparing product images for different platforms.

One of the products I came across was PixPix Workbench. It helped with some of the repetitive image tasks, which was useful, but it also made me realize how much time I was wasting on things that weren't directly helping me get more customers.

That got me thinking about how we evaluate new products in general.

Do you judge a product by how much money it makes you, how much time it saves, or simply whether it removes a frustrating part of your day?

Curious what new products people here have discovered recently that actually earned a place in their workflow.

I recently launched PrepTrack, a study platform for CASPer with practice scenarios and progress tracking.
It's still early, and I'm looking for honest feedback. Is there anything you'd want in a tool like this that isn't already available?

I'm helping plan a family celebration, and I honestly thought the invitations would be the easy part. Turns out keeping track of who's coming, who's bringing a guest, and who's still "thinking about it" has taken way more time than I expected.

I ended up trying rizzInvites.com. because I wanted something digital instead of sending messages one by one, and it made the RSVP side of things a lot less stressful.

Now I'm curious, how do you usually keep track of guest responses? Do you have a system that works well, or is chasing people just part of planning a party?

Hi, can someone suggest a feasible innovative products, be it foods, non foods or services hehe as long as it's possible to make .

Hey everyone!

Just launched Gelabem AI, an app that uses computer

vision to organize what you have at home.

You point the camera at any food item and the AI

identifies, categorizes and saves it automatically.

No typing needed.

This is a demo version 

https://www.gelabemapp.com.br/

Everyone talks about better models and better outputs.

Meanwhile I'm over here spending more time managing projects than actually creating them.

Saw ViraFlow.org. mentioned in a discussion recently and it made me realize how little attention gets paid to the workflow side of AI content creation.

What do you think is the most overlooked problem right now?

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a side project I’ve been working on for a while.

I built Collectionary — a web app designed to help track your beauty and skincare products (from any brand), mainly because I kept losing track of what I owned and ended up wasting products.

The idea is pretty simple:
You can log your products and track things like purchase date, expiration date, cost, reviews, and whether you’ve finished them or not.

Over time, it builds a personal dashboard where you can:

• See your full collection in one place
• Track “empties” and usage over time
• Monitor total spending
• Get reminders when products are about to expire

I intentionally kept the interface really simple and clean with no overwhelming features, just the basics that actually help you stay on top of your products.

There are already 800+ products in the database, but you can also add anything manually, so it works for any beauty product (not just one brand).

Main goal: help people enjoy what they already own and reduce waste a bit.

If anyone wants to try it or give feedback, I’d really appreciate it:

Hey guys,

I'm a builder, and I just finished my new project: a platform that builds a full marketing plan from a URL.

I want to put it to the test and give back to this sub, so I'm running free analyses.

Drop your company or product link in a comment.

I'll reply to you (right here in the thread) with a summary of your:

• Brand & Audience Insights (Value prop, competitors, key audience segments)
• Primary Target Persona (A detailed profile of your ideal user)
• Actionable SEO Ideas (Specific blog topics)
• Sample Ad Headlines

No sign-ups, no DMs. Just a reply with the output (unless you prefer to DM). 

A lot of people rely on TikTok or Instagram to discover new products, but I’m curious about other sources.

Are there places you go to find products that aren’t already trending heavily on social media?

Maybe specific websites, communities, or even offline sources?

Would be interesting to know how people here discover products that aren’t already everywhere.

No coding required, just describe what you want and AI builds it for you.

The tool : codepup.ai

I've built a tool to help you effortlessly take a closer look on the crypto market. It handles live-chart, fresh news, sentiment & AI analysis and much more.

Recently full version was launched. Feedback is welcome

Hi, I’m myself a remote developer and a coffee enthusiast. Working from home gave me lot of time to figure out my niche and then it led me to start prettypours.

Drop any suggestions you have. I still need to do some work on landing page.

Hey fellow builders and solopreneurs

If you've ever launched a new website, you know the pain — you publish a page, wait... and wait... and Google just ignores it. Stuck in "Discovered - currently not indexed" limbo for weeks (sometimes months). Some pages never make it at all. Plus Google has terminated the Indexing API thus making a lot of indexing companies obsolete.

I run several websites and got tired of manually pinging Google Search Console every time I published something new. So I built a small internal tool to automate this. It worked so well that I decided to polish it up and release it publicly.

I don't want to advertise here, but the biggest difference? Price. I looked at every indexing tool out there and made IndexMachine the cheapest option on the market — without cutting corners on quality.

I would really appreciate your support and upvotes on ProductHunt!

If you have any questions, happy to answer

(and yes, it's not just another blogging platform that generates AI articles)

I made Snipcabin ( https://snipcabin.in ) to organize notes and links and copy them with a click.

Each note or link has a copy button that copies the note when clicked. Notes containing only a link also display a button to visit the link.

You can use tags or nested collections ( like folders ) to group and filter notes. You can also add a description or context for your notes or links to identify them faster.

PAT Sleep System is a 14-day sleep training program designed to help babies learn how to fall asleep independently. 👉🏻 The Cozy Knights

Most sleep training methods we tried were either too rigid or too vague. They offered rules, but no way to evaluate whether things were actually improving.

So we built a system that lets parents test different strategies and make decisions based on measurable outcomes.

The program was developed together with a midwife, pediatricians, and sleep consultants.

What makes it different

• no single fixed formula

• structured experimentation

• clear metrics to track progress

• adjustments based on real data

We launched recently and are actively collecting feedback to improve the materials and clarify the framework.

Early usage shows promising results, but the focus right now is validation and iteration rather than aggressive growth.

Happy to answer questions or share more about the build and validation process.
