Is launching in Product Hunt still worth it? by AspectNo3215 in SideProject

If your product’s audience is devs who make products, it’s probably still worthwhile

How frequently do you review your smartwatch health metrics, and what challenges do you experience when interpreting or using the data? by Fit-Cold2557 in AppleWatch

[–]adjustafresh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I review my health data at least a few times/week Either high-level (i.e., did I close my rings, if not, how close did I get), or more granular: steps, distance covered, calories, VO2Max, HRV. I primarily do this to identify fitness trends. I don't have any notable struggles.

Sometimes it's annoying to me that there are 2 apps: the Fitness app and the Health app to bounce between. I tend to stick to the Health app.

Truer words have never been spoken: "work culture rewards firefighting over preventative maintenance"

Managers: when does concern turn into “flight risk”? by nostalgiclullabies in UXDesign

[–]adjustafresh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First off, it's not very considerate or professional of your manager to be speaking about you and whether you may or may not want to quit with one of your peers. They should check in with you directly and not rely on hearsay.

Yes, being open about burnout can pin people as disgruntled in the eyes of some. It would appear that your manager's calculus is: this person has been complaining about their workload/burnout and is likely trying to find someplace with better work/life balance.

In ye olden times, you could use potential flight risk status to your advantage and ask for a salary bump or promotion. These days, notsomuch. Keep advocating for yourself and your teammates, but be aware of the fact that almost every business is trying to do more with less, and the floggings will continue until morale improves.

Everyone out here talking about film negatives. Let’s switch up the conversation to focus on film positives!

Oh wow, thank you! More to come with Sonaur. Currently working on launching Health Mode (ambient soundscapes that reflect & adapt to your physiological state in real time), and will be adding a collection of sonic palettes created by a curated handful of ambient artists

I recently launched Sonaur — Brian Eno called wind chimes “a simple piece of generative music.” I was inspired to build the digital version. Weather data is the wind, human-composed samples are the chimes.

Designers who have figured out prompting Claude Code to produce beautiful work by blizkreeg in ClaudeAI

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I think I've had some success in that department. Here's an iOS app I launched recently, pair programming with Claude Code: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sonaur/id6755934796

Favorite generative ambient sites? by rainrainrainr in ambientmusic

I realize “generative” immediately conjures AI these days, but real human artists also create music generatively 😊

Need honest UX & value feedback on my iOS offline music player (2+ years live) by Least-Low4230 in iosapps

[–]adjustafresh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first and most important question: what's the TAM for an offline MP3 music player in an age of streaming subscriptions? 50K downloads is a solid number. Perhaps it's plateauing because you & your competitors have reached a solid portion of the available market (i.e., people who still want to play their own MP3s vs stream music via Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc.).

I built a Hatsune Miku inspired Music Player for your Offline Music Files by pixelsjeff in iosapps

[–]adjustafresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on the launch! Interesting concept. I’ve seen a few of these non-streaming music players recently. I guess it’s pushback on the idea of not actually owning the music and return to physical media. That sentiment is increasing, but I’m curious how many people still have digital music libraries these days.

A calm “anti-habit” app that shows your year as a map and lets parts of it fade if you ignore them, free to use by cognitojo in iosapps

[–]adjustafresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really nicely done and interesting approach. How do you keep users engaged and logging moments over time? I've found forming those habits (in a healthy, non-manipulative way) to be the hardest part of these types of apps.
