Let's try again

You found the perfect landing page. You want to "borrow" the layout.

You open DevTools. 47 nested divs later, you question your life choices.

Export Element fixes this in one click.

It's a Chrome extension that clones any website element. Layouts, styles, components. No code.

→ See a hero section you love? Grab it. Done.
→ Runs 100% in your browser. Your "inspiration" stays private.
→ Designers can finally stop begging devs for "just a quick favor"

Is it ethical to clone designs? That's between you and your conscience.

Is it useful? Every founder I know has "referenced" a competitor's layout at 2am before a demo. This just makes it less painful.

Free Chrome extension. No excuses left.

What's the best landing page you've ever stolen inspiration from?

Only 11% of companies have AI agents in production.

Meanwhile, everyone talks like they're running a silicon workforce.

Deloitte's Tech Trends 2026 report dropped. Here's what actually matters:

1. Physical AI is here → Robots cost less than human workers in many cases. Humanoid market growing 71% CAGR. Your warehouse competitor might already be hiring metal.

2. Agentic AI reality check → 25% of companies have agents in pilots. 11% in production. The gap between "we're exploring AI" and "AI runs our ops" is a canyon.

3. Infrastructure reckoning → AI costs dropped 280x since 2022. Great news? Usage exploded 792,000%. CIOs went from "AI is too expensive" to "AI bankrupts our cloud budget." Same problem, new packaging.

4. Shadow AI is massive → 48% of employees used AI tools without employer approval. Your security team is playing whack-a-mole with ChatGPT browser tabs.

5. The great rebuild → That $500B+ companies spent on cloud last decade? Time to re-architect. AI-native means rethinking everything from data pipelines to team structures.

If I had to bet: the winners won't be companies with the best AI models. They'll be the ones who figured out how to actually deploy them.

Though if I'm wrong, wouldn't be the first time.

For the first time ever, non-gaming apps make more money than games.

Let that satisfying sink in for a moment.

Sensor Tower's State of Mobile 2026 just dropped. The numbers:

1. Non-gaming IAP hit +21% YoY → Gaming grew just 1.3%. The "casual game era" might be fading. Subscription apps are eating the mobile revenue pie.

2. GenAI apps are insane → Downloads doubled. Revenue tripled to $5B+. Time spent up 260%. And here's the kicker: session growth outpaces downloads. Users aren't just trying AI apps, they're living in them.

3. We're glued to phones more than ever → 3.6 hours daily per user. 5.3 trillion hours globally. US engagement up 4% after everyone worried about "digital fatigue." Spoiler: fatigue lost.

4. Gaming is shifting strategy → Downloads down, but time spent up. The industry moved from "get more users" to "squeeze more value from existing ones." LTV is the new UA.

5. Finance apps are split → Credit/Lending up 18%. Crypto and investing? Down. Practical money beats speculative money in 2026.

Total mobile IAP revenue: $167 billion (+10.6% YoY).

The smartphone is no longer a gaming device with some apps. It's an app device where people sometimes play games.

Though if I'm wrong, wouldn't be the first time.

Most founders I know treat their data like gym memberships.

They pay for it. They know it's good for them. They visit it twice in January. Then it sits there, judging them silently.

The problem isn't motivation. It's friction.

Setting up proper analytics = hiring a data person, waiting 3 months for dashboards, then realizing you asked the wrong questions.

LiveDocs tries to solve this differently.

→ Upload a CSV or connect your data source
→ Ask questions in plain English
→ Get SQL queries, charts, and dashboards generated automatically

The "20+ use cases" they list sounds like marketing fluff until you realize it covers: churn prediction, A/B test analysis, revenue forecasting, anomaly detection.

Basically, stuff that used to require a data team or expensive BI tools.

Free tier, no credit card required.

My take: won't replace a senior data analyst. But for early-stage founders who need quick answers without building infrastructure? Could save weeks of "let me just check the spreadsheet" meetings.

Though knowing founders, they'll still find a way to make decisions based on vibes.

What's your current data stack at pre-seed/seed? Spreadsheets, proper BI, or pure intuition?

Security audits used to require either expensive consultants or deep technical expertise.

HackerAI is trying to change that. It's an AI tool that scans your code, app, or website for vulnerabilities and explains the risks in plain language.

How it works:
→ Upload your project or paste a URL
→ AI analyzes logic flaws, misconfigurations, common attack vectors
→ Get a report with explanations, not just error codes

The difference from traditional pentesting tools: you don't need to know what you're looking for. The AI hunts for issues and translates findings into something actionable.

Desktop app and web version available. Free tier exists.

Useful for startups shipping fast, freelancers managing client sites, dev teams without a dedicated security person.

Not a replacement for a proper audit if you're handling sensitive data. But for a quick sanity check before launch? Could save you from obvious mistakes.

Anyone tried it on a real project?

Got another notification today. "We've added new features!"

Cool. I didn't ask for them.

Every product I use gets heavier. More buttons, more tabs, more "powerful capabilities." Nobody ever sends "We removed 3 features you never used. The app is now faster."

Why is growth always addition? Why is simplification never progress?

Notion adds AI. Slack adds canvases. Zoom adds... everything. The bloat compounds. What started as a clean tool becomes a platform becomes an ecosystem becomes a mess.

The best products I've used lately aren't the ones with the most features. They're the ones that do one thing and refuse to do more.

Linear doesn't try to be Jira. It tries to be Linear.

But here's the thing: saying "no" to features requires confidence. Adding features is safe. You can always point to the roadmap, the user requests, the competitor comparison chart.

Removing features? That takes conviction. And conviction doesn't fit in a quarterly OKR.

Maybe the question isn't "what should we build next?" Maybe it's "what should we have the courage to kill?"

When was the last time an app you use got simpler?

91% of digital nomad visas didn't exist before 2020.

The Global Digital Nomad Report 2025 just dropped. 64 countries analyzed. What stood out:

1. Spain, Netherlands, Uruguay top the rankings. Europe dominates with 21 programs, a third of all visas analyzed.

2. Only 3 countries offer a path from nomad visa to citizenship: Czechia, Greece, Spain. Everyone else caps you at residency. If you're thinking long-term, this matters.

3. 14 programs allow conversion to permanent residency. Portugal, Italy, Germany, Canada, Mexico among them. The rest? You're a guest, not a future citizen.

4. Average visa length is 1 year. 75% allow extensions. But "allow" and "will approve" are different conversations.

5. Estonia, Spain, South Korea lead in tech infrastructure. India wins on affordability. Netherlands, Norway, Iceland on quality of life. Pick your trade-off.

The co-living market is projected to double to $16B by 2030. Infrastructure is being built.

My take: most founders I know who went nomad came back within 18 months. The visa is the easy part. Building something meaningful while changing time zones every quarter is harder.

Has the nomad visa hype matched your reality?

Most early-stage startups ignore SEO. Makes sense. You're building product, talking to users, fundraising. Who has time for meta descriptions?

Then month 8 hits. Paid acquisition is bleeding you dry. Organic traffic is 12 visitors. All from your mom's IP address.

Found a thing that helps: seo-audit skill for Claude Code.

One command to install. Now my AI assistant can audit any page I'm working on. Technical SEO, on-page stuff, content quality, while I'm already in the code.

What it catches:
→ Missing meta tags and broken structured data
→ Slow pages and mobile issues
→ Weak title tags that nobody clicks
→ Content gaps vs competitors

No need to pay $200/month for Ahrefs when you're pre-revenue. No need to hire an SEO consultant for a 10-page site.

Just: "audit this page for SEO" and you get fixes right in your terminal.

The boring truth about startups: the ones that figure out organic distribution early have way more runway than those burning cash on ads.

SEO compounds. The earlier you start, the better.

What's your organic traffic strategy?

Every founder eventually hits this moment: "I need an API for X."

Then you Google. Then you find 3 outdated Medium articles. Then you find an API that looked good but died in 2023. Then you waste 2 hours.

There's a better way.

public-apis is a community-maintained list of free APIs for developers. 50+ categories. Hundreds of endpoints. All in one place.

→ Each API shows auth type, HTTPS support, CORS status
→ Categories from weather to blockchain to government data
→ Actively maintained (5,400+ commits)
→ MIT license, open contributions

Need animal pics for your MVP placeholder? API.
Need currency conversion? API.
Need to validate emails, check weather, pull stock data? API, API, API.

The unsexy truth about building fast: it's not about writing more code. It's about knowing what already exists.

Bookmark this before your next "I need an API for..." moment.

What's the weirdest API you've ever integrated?

ProductHunt didn't work out? Good.

Here's the thing nobody tells first-time founders: PH is one channel. One. And it's crowded, noisy, and increasingly pay-to-play.

The real strategy? Launch everywhere. Multiple times. Different audiences.

19 alternatives worth trying:

→ https://x.com/MicroLaunchHQ
→ https://x.com/toolfolio
→ https://x.com/lab_startups
→ https://x.com/BetaList
→ https://x.com/devhunt_
→ https://x.com/IndieHackers
→ https://x.com/Peerlist
→ https://x.com/tinystartupscom
→ https://x.com/FazierHQ
→ https://x.com/sideprojectors
→ https://x.com/launchigniter
→ https://x.com/hackernews
→ https://x.com/startupstash
→ https://x.com/SaaSHubCom
→ https://x.com/UneedLists
→ https://x.com/LaunchingNext
→ https://x.com/AlternativeTo
→ https://x.com/FirstoContact
→ https://x.com/peerpush_net

Some are niche. Some are tiny. That's the point.

A #3 spot on a small platform with 500 engaged devs beats a #47 on PH where nobody scrolls past the top 5.

Launch is not an event. It's a campaign. Run it like one.

Which platforms worked best for you?

Most startups don't need a full-time CFO.

They need someone to tell them they're burning too fast before it's too late.

Nume is an AI that plugs into your ERP and bank accounts, then does what a good CFO would do:

→ Monitors cash flow without you asking
→ Flags anomalies before they become problems
→ Runs forecasts while you focus on product

Setup takes 5 minutes. No dashboards to build, no reports to request.

The pitch is bold: "AI CFO on autopilot." The reality check: at pre-seed you probably still need a spreadsheet and common sense. But from seed onwards, when transactions multiply and burn rate actually matters, this kind of tool stops being a luxury.

Finance ops is the least sexy part of building a company. Which is exactly why automating it makes sense.

Would you trust an AI with your cash flow visibility?

Your pitch deck won't get honest feedback from investors. (But we've solved this problem for you)

😞 Investors value their time and energy immensely, which is why 98% of the presentations they receive go straight into the bin. Most are rejected at the subject line stage, others after just 7 seconds of viewing (as DocSend will show you). If you're lucky (read: if you pique their interest), they might look for a full 30 seconds, maybe even download it, but... you still won't get a reply. And you certainly won't get a response listing the weak points in your presentation. At most, you'll get a "we don't invest... at this stage, in this geography, in your industry."

An investor doesn't want to (and isn't obliged to) educate you on "how to properly prepare a pitch deck". They want to move on to a truly impressive company as quickly as possible. Consequently, most startups simply don't get any feedback from investors. But at Unicorn Nest, we're offering a solution to this problem.

🔥 We've created Pitch Deck Roaster, a service that provides feedback on your presentation. Right now, you could upload your deck to a modern LLM and ask it to comment on the strengths and weaknesses. I'll go further - the result would be decent. We decided to take the next step: combining the capabilities of LLMs with a huge array of knowledge - both internal (our team members have analysed thousands of real startup decks from the perspective of VC partners) and external - we've gathered "best practices" from across the market. Then came hundreds of tests where we moved through quality stages: "this is decent," "this is close to how I would have commented," "this highlighted things I hadn't even noticed." Discover red flags, strengths, and slide-by-slide improvements - that's what you'll get.

🆓 The service is free and comes with a twist: once it "sees" your startup, we'll provide a list of recommended investors who match your industry, geography, stage, and so on.

The service is launching on Product Hunt today. So, I'm politely asking for your support - with upvotes, comments, and shares.

❤️ But above all - use it! I hope it proves useful for you and your presentation.

The countries most skeptical about AI are the ones that built it.

Indonesia: 79% excited about AI.
Malaysia: 77%.
Thailand: 75%.

Japan: 35%.
Canada: 36%.
Belgium: 36%.

Ipsos charted AI optimism against median age. The correlation is -0.53. Hard to argue with that: younger countries are betting on AI, older ones are hedging.

A few patterns stand out:
→ Western Europe clusters in the bottom right. Old and skeptical.
→ Southeast Asia dominates the top left. Young and optimistic.
→ South Korea breaks the trend at 69%, despite a median age of 44. Culture matters too.
→ Argentina is an outlier the other way: young but skeptical at 43%.

For founders, this reframes the "where to launch" question. Your warmest early adopters might not be in SF or Berlin. They might be in Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok.

The West built AI. The Global South might adopt it faster.

Are you building for the optimists or the skeptics?
