3 Under-the-radar Product Hunt Launches
The best products outside of the top 5
LogicBalls is a curation of AI tools designed to make content/copywriting an effortless process. From sales pitches to SEO strategies, the suite of aggregated apps is very comprehensive, and I’m seriously considering paying the full subscription to help automate some of my processes. A freemium pricing model is in place, so you can try it to see if you like it before making a financial commitment.
This NotionOS, brought to us by Ajinkya Bhat provides a sophisticated finance dashboard for managing your startup. Available for a one-time fee, you can have access to a VC CRM, runway projections, financial projections, as well as other crucial financial analytics. This NotionOS clearly will save a significant amount of time setting up a startup and make financial tracking easy and accessible.
Social Search Plus is a simple Chrome extension that allows you to search social platforms from Google Chrome. Available for free, this extension allows you to treat platforms like YouTube, Instagram and TikTok as search engines as you see fit.
If you’re active on PH and looking to launch, I’d be happy to support the launch. Just reach out on X.

The two articles I think are worth talking about
I found this discussion around the cost structure of software companies and whether the return on equity is still favourable at this stage of the cycle. Some of the salient points are:
If anyone can create a new product, the creation of products will become commoditized.
Despite being seen as a ‘capital-light’ industry, the industry's economic balance sheet, as opposed to its accounting balance sheet, must look like that of a capital-intensive industry like airlines.
Understanding an industry is about understanding why it's different today to understand why it will end up looking similar to every other industry given enough time.
As someone who sees themselves starting a 1-person business as a launchpad for larger projects in the future, I found this article thoughtful and insightful. Here is the basic summary given by the author:
Swap scale for small and charge higher prices to businesses.
Instead of a social network, build a niche professional community
Instead of an AI blog, write an AI image-generation newsletter for social media managers
Instead of a general web-design agency, start a web agency targeting Logistics companies in the UK
Think of smaller markets with bigger budgets. The opportunities are endless.
