I've been thinking about building a motion graphics editor for a while now, since I feel like After Effects can be pretty overkill. My idea was to combine the simplicity of a tool like Canva or Kapwing, where you can easily search and

I'm an avid Notion user, so I wanted to build something to help me be more productive. My first thought was to create a simple inline canvas to draw using a /draw command, to annotate my pages, only to realize that Notion does not

Love ExtensionPay, so easy to use! I spent a while looking for ways to accept payments and most importantly handle subscriptions for Chrome Extensions, and everything felt like too much work. Super glad I came across your product, was very

I think there's people who do check out Product Hunt without posting themselves, although it's probably not a whole lot. I regularly check it out to find new products, or for general inspiration, but that said I do post in there m
