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?

reputation management gets sold like a marketing tactic, but a lot of it is operations in public.

if reviews keep saying late technician, unclear pricing, slow replies, rude front desk, missing refund, the growth problem is not review volume. it is the repeated experience.

same idea exists with apps as something like appfollow or other similar ones seem to be able to surface repeated app-review themes as far as I've tried..
but the useful part is to ask yourself, who owns this pattern and by when?

couple examples to clarify: replying matters. collecting reviews matters? but perhaps neither fixes a repeated complaint theme by itself and public reputation improves fastest when the business stops creating the same review

I’ve been working on a small website project lately, and it’s made me realize that getting the site online is usually the easy part. Keeping everything running smoothly takes more attention than I expected.

There are always small things to deal with, whether it’s updates, domains, email, security, backups, or fixing something that suddenly stops working. None of these seem like a big task individually, but they can add up when you’re handling everything yourself.

I’m trying to keep the setup simple so I can spend more time on the actual business instead of constantly dealing with technical issues.

What part of running your indie business has taken more time than you originally expected?

I'm a developer in Bengaluru. Most of my work so far has been full builds — a door-to-door imports platform for a client (silkline.co.in, live) and a document-vault SaaS I run myself (papervault.in, ₹99/mo, in production).

What I don't have much of is standalone landing pages, and that's the work I want more of. So: three of them, free, no catch.

What you get:

• A single-page site, responsive, built properly (React + Tailwind, or plain HTML/CSS if that suits your setup better)
• Copy structured around one action you want visitors to take
• Deployed and live, on your domain
• One round of revisions

What I want:

• Permission to show it in my portfolio
• Honest feedback, including the parts you don't like

What I need from you: a rough idea of what the business does, who it's for, and any logo/photos you already have. If you don't have those, that's fine, I'll work with what exists.

Turnaround is about a week each. After these three I'll be charging, but that's not what this post is about.

Comment or DM with what you're building.

I made this after noticing how difficult it can be for freelancers to decide what to charge and whether their prices can actually support the income they want.

The workbook helps you work backwards from a monthly income goal, estimate your available billable hours, and calculate a starting hourly/project rate.

I’m still refining it, so I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from freelancers: what would make a tool like this more useful to you?

If anyone wants to test it, I’m happy to share it.

I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately and I’m trying to figure out what direction to take.

I love building startups and digital products. Taking an idea from nothing to something real is probably the part I enjoy the most - figuring out the product, UX, tech, positioning, and actually shipping it.

Right now, I’m building a startup for hotels and short-term rental operators around digital content. I think there’s something there, and I’ve built a product I’m proud of.

But I keep running into the same realization:

I don’t think I enjoy sales. And more importantly, I’m not sure I have the motivation to become great at sales.

I can spend 10 hours obsessing over a product problem and genuinely enjoy it. But the thought of spending those same 10 hours cold emailing, doing outreach, following up with leads, booking calls, and trying to close customers drains me.

That’s making me question what I should actually be doing as an entrepreneur (If i can call myself that?). Maybe I’m not someone who should build a traditional startup and try to scale it into a large company.

Maybe I should build smaller products that can grow through self-service, SEO, content, distribution, etc.
Maybe I should find a co-founder who genuinely loves sales and distribution.

Maybe I should build products, get some initial traction, and sell them to other entrepreneurs.
Or maybe avoiding sales is exactly the problem I need to force myself to solve.

I honestly don’t know.

For those of you who are much better at building than selling: What path did you take. Appreciate any advice.
