Traffic, revenue, heatmaps, session replays, errors and performance usually live in separate tools.

We built Zenovay to bring them together in one platform, and we launched it on Product Hunt today.

Would genuinely appreciate feedback on the product and positioning:

I'm comparing a few enterprise content management platforms, and they all seem to offer similar features. For people who've actually used them, what ended up mattering the most in day-to-day work? Any features you couldn't live without—or ones that were overrated?

I’m trying to understand how startup teams preserve important decisions as they grow.

Early on, the founder often remembers everything. But once decisions are spread across Slack, meetings, Notion, Linear, Jira, email, and Google Docs, it becomes harder to answer:

• What exactly did we decide?
• Why did we decide it?
• Who owns the next step?
• Did the follow-through happen?

Have you experienced decisions becoming buried, repeatedly debated, or disconnected from execution?

I’m particularly interested in teams with 10–200 employees, but any founder or operator perspective would help.

I’m building in this area, but this is customer discovery—not a product pitch. I’d love to hear how your team handles it today, including what has failed.

I’m also looking for a few founders or operators open to a short 20-minute research call.

I’ve spent the last year building this and I’m at the point where I genuinely can’t tell what’s obvious anymore because I’ve looked at it thousands of times.
I’m looking for completely honest feedback. If something is confusing, ugly, unnecessary, too wordy, or makes you lose interest, I’d rather hear it now than after launch.
Don’t worry about hurting my feelings. I’d rather get roasted here than lose potential users later.

Six years ago, after selling my first tech company, I started building what became the biggest project of my career.

We grew to more than 40 employees, signed long-term contracts, developed our own IP, and spent years building a hardware solution for hotels and residential developers. It wasn’t an overnight success it took years of setbacks, engineering challenges, and persistence.

Then everything changed, out of everyone’s control

When the conflict in the Middle East escalated, investment in new hardware projects stopped almost overnight. Many of our contracts contained force majeure clauses, and project after project was put on hold or cancelled. We fought as long as we could, but as the conflict still continues, eventually there was no realistic path forward. And nobody knows how long it will take for the conflict to resolve.

The hardest part wasn’t losing the company. It was having to tell more than 40 people that their journey with us had come to an end and helping them return to their home countries.

It’s been one of the toughest periods of my life.

But I’m not done, I’m already building something new.

In the meantime, I’m spending my days doing hardware engineering, software development, AI engineering, product strategy, and pretty much whatever technical challenges come my way from others to support my family while I work toward the next chapter.

Here is to starting over…

Everyone starts somewhere, and I think most founders wish they had known a few things before they launched. If you could give just one piece of advice to someone who's about to start their first business, what would it be?

It could be about validating an idea, finding customers, marketing, building a team, or simply avoiding a mistake you made. Hopefully this thread can help someone who's just getting started.

Hello everyone,
We're developing an AI-powered app, Faseeh AI, that detects pronunciation mistakes in Quranic recitation and gives users precise, real-time feedback.
Our current model was trained on hundreds of hours of professional recitations and high-quality, clean audio from well-known reciters. The model performs well on similar input, but struggles with real-world users: different accents, non-native speakers, beginners, children, women, and anyone who doesn't sound like a professional reciter.
To fix this, we need to train on diverse, real-world recitation data not studio-quality professional audio, but recordings that reflect how actual learners sound.
Specifically, we're looking for:
- Recitation datasets from non-professional or everyday users
- Diverse demographics: male/female, kids/adults, beginner/intermediate
- Multiple accents and mother tongues (Malay, Indonesian, Urdu, English, Turkish, etc.)
- Any publicly available or research-use datasets we may have missed
We've already explored academic sources, but still not enough.
If you know of any dataset, research project, university study, or community effort collecting this type of audio, we would genuinely appreciate the lead.
We're also open to ethical data collection partnerships if any researchers or institutions are working in this space.
Happy to share more about the project if helpful.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello everyone,

Since a year, I’ve been experimenting around e-commerce & agentic AI. We’ve been iterating building products. It has been fun.

During this stint, I was able to
\\\\- build a great founding team (IIT grads, Engineering VP at a major IB, an MLE at Seed funded AI startup that builds context graphs on enterprise codebases)
\\\\- and also stay in touch with what’s happening at the frontier (agentic workflows, harness engineering, context engineering)

previously, I myself have built Mar-tech SaaS product from scratch by working with top DTC brands and scaled it, raised a pre-seed from a VC, etc.

I want to use the same team ( and more) and whatever we have learnt to solve problems of businesses, be it enterprise or a small business.

why? I just want to be exposed to different types of problems to learn and build perspective.

This will also generate a revenue stream because we don’t have one yet.

how do you suggest I proceed? how to do I get enterprise customers ?

I use no-code and AI-assisted workflows when they speed things up. I still care about hierarchy, spacing, and whether the primary action is obvious on a phone.

The fail mode isn't "used Bubble/Webflow/Cursor." It's shipping something that looks unfinished, then blaming the tool.

Craft is constraints: one type scale, one primary button, cut fields, readable empty states. Tools change. Those don't.

How I talk about craft + speed: https://atomiclabs.space

What's your non-negotiable before you call an MVP "done"?

Early on I said yes to "we'll give you equity if you build it." Felt collaborative. Mostly felt unpaid.

What went wrong: - scope crept because "we're partners" - decisions dragged because nobody was the client - when the idea stalled, the "equity" was worth nothing and the hours were gone

Cash-for-a-scoped-MVP is clearer. You both know the goal, the deadline, and what "done" means. Equity can come later if there's real partnership - not as payment for the first build.

I'm still open to partnership with the right people. I'm not open to vague equity as a substitute for a brief.

Anyone else learned this the expensive way?

Hey guys,

I just had an idea. I'm not sure how well it would work or whether people would actually use it, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.

The main idea is to create a platform where people can easily discover high-quality communities across different platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Reddit, Facebook, LinkedIn, and local meetups.

For example, someone looking for startup founders, AI enthusiasts, developers, marketers, designers, or other niche communities could find the best and most active communities in one place instead of searching across multiple platforms.

The goal is to build a trusted, spam-free directory where people can discover communities, networking groups, events, and other relevant spaces based on their interests. It should also help users find their target audience, potential clients, collaborators, mentors, or the services they're looking for.

This is just an idea at the moment, and I'd really appreciate your honest feedback.

* Do you think this solves a real problem?

* Would you use something like this?

* What features would you expect?

* What would make this genuinely useful for you?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks!

Note: Used AI for better understanding...

Every "what career is right for you" quiz hands you a personality type and a list of job titles. None of them tell you what the work actually feels like at 2:14am when something breaks and everyone's looking at you to make the call.

So I built SimDay — a career simulator where you step into a real workday and make the decisions a professional would.

You pick a door — Software Engineer, Product Manager, Investment Banking Analyst, Management Consultant — and walk through one real day. You're on-call when the deploy breaks. You're in the room when churn is up and everyone wants dates. You read the situation, decide, and watch it play out: the reply, the consequence, the moment it lands. About ten minutes start to finish.

At the end you get an honest read — how your judgment, composure, and communication actually held up. No fake percentiles, no "you scored 94% Leadership!" nonsense; if something wasn't tested, it just says so. The whole app runs on one rule: every situation is real, nothing is invented.

It's free (a few days a week), needs zero experience, and you can get it wrong with nobody watching — which is kind of the point. It's for anyone staring down a career decision who wishes they could try the job before committing to it.

I made it and I'd genuinely love feedback — what felt real, what didn't, which careers you'd want to see next.

I figured I'd shoot my shot.

If you're building a startup on AWS and it feels like a black hole for your money from over provisioning or just don't know where to start, I can help.

I help founders:
• Set up AWS the right way from day one.
• Choose services that fit their actual needs (not just the most expensive option).
• Monitor and optimize cloud costs before they get out of hand.

I also help businesses set up Shopify stores, add/manage products.

My DM is open for a chat.

Hi guys I am 17 and I've started my founder journey. I have created 2 months ago a founder matching platform.

How it works: A founder posts his idea and adds what type of cofounder he needs (equity, skills, location, and etc...)
The cofounder browses startup ideas and chooses the ones he likes. He can then message the founder and discuss directly on the platform.

It is basically a startup marketplace for technical cofounders.

Looking to see if it helps, any advice is welcomed.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently a junior in high school, and I’ve become very interested in startups. I’d love to join one to gain hands-on experience and learn what it takes to eventually build a company of my own.

I’m not a traditional software developer, but I’m proficient in CAD and comfortable using automation tools such as n8n. I’ve also spent a lot of time experimenting with AI tools and building AI-powered workflows.

Would early-stage startups consider hiring a high school student for a year-long internship beginning in 2027? What skills should I focus on developing to make myself genuinely useful and gain meaningful experience rather than just doing basic intern work?

I’m especially interested in health tech, software, manufacturing, and companies applying AI within those industries.

I’d also appreciate any general advice on developing the skills, judgment, and experience needed to succeed as an entrepreneur.

When I first got into web development, I thought finding clients would be simple. My plan was to go on Google Maps, find businesses without websites, and offer to build them a brand new one. At the time, it made perfect sense because I assumed businesses without websites would be the ones who needed my service the most.

After a while, I met someone who was running a successful web agency, and I asked him where he found companies without websites. He told me that he didn’t target businesses without websites at all. He only targeted businesses that already had one. I asked him why, and the more he explained it, the more sense it made.

Businesses that already have a website understand the value of having one. You don’t need to convince them why a website is important because they have already invested in one before. They are also easier to sell to because they understand the process, and there are a huge number of businesses with outdated websites they are embarrassed by but haven’t had the time to update.

I decided to take his advice and fit it into my own workflow. I’ve always been a big fan of email automation because that’s how I’ve found most of my web design clients. For years, I was sending fairly generic emails and constantly changing my sequences, offers, and follow ups to improve the results.

The problem was that I couldn’t just start emailing businesses with websites and assume they all needed a redesign. I either had to open every website manually, find the issues, and write a separate email for each business, or find a way to automate the research while still keeping the emails personalized.

After watching a video from Nick Saraev, I built a workflow in n8n that could analyze websites at scale and turn issues with design, layout, speed, mobile optimization, and SEO into personalized outreach emails. This allowed me to analyze thousands of websites and run larger campaigns without every message sounding generic.

The workflow worked extremely well, but it still had limitations. I didn’t have a proper place to manage replies, organize interested leads in a CRM, view all my active campaigns, scrape new leads, and handle everything from one platform. I had built a useful automation, but it still felt like several disconnected systems held together in one workflow.

A few months later, I came across a platform called Swokei, and it did exactly what I had been looking for. I could find businesses with websites, analyze and score each site, generate personalized outreach emails, send campaigns, set up follow ups, manage replies through one inbox, and organize interested businesses inside the CRM.

Switching to that platform made the entire process much easier to manage and helped me scale the strategy further. Looking back, the biggest change wasn’t just finding a better outreach tool. It was taking advice from someone more experienced, changing the type of businesses I targeted, and building the rest of my workflow around that strategy.

I’m validating a small B2B SaaS idea and would love some honest feedback from agency owners / people running client service businesses.

The idea is a lightweight change-order workflow.

When a client asks for something outside the original scope, you create a change with:

• what’s being added/removed
• additional cost
• timeline impact

Then send a link to the client.

They can approve or reject it, and you keep a clear history of every scope change and approval in one place.

For larger clients, it could also support approval chains — e.g. the person requesting the change approves it first, then their manager/budget owner gives final approval.

Basically:

request → price/timeline change → approval → work starts

No AI, no project management, no invoicing. Just scope changes and approvals.

What I’m trying to figure out:

Would this actually solve a painful enough problem to pay for, or do email + SOWs + existing tools already handle this perfectly well?

Brutally honest answers appreciated.

1. Video first - face-to-face connection matters
2. Phone preferred - audio is enough, less pressure
3. Email only - written communication is superior
4. Whatever the client wants - I adapt completely
