😸 Vercel wants your startup

gm legends, happy Wednesday.

Roll brings back the disposable camera energy, Claude Code Routines lets agents run on a schedule instead of waiting around for you, and a discussion on who gets to own the agent layer.

Also — quick one — we’re teaming up with Vercel for a special launch day friday. If you’re building on it, you might want to get something live.

April 17 is shaping up to be a busy one.

We’re teaming up with Vercel for a special launch day on Product Hunt, which means a dedicated leaderboard, more visibility than usual, and a bunch of teams shipping all at once.

If you’re building on Vercel, schedule your launch for midnight PT on April 17 and tag it under 'Vercel Day' to be part of it. These focused launch days tend to move fast, pull in more attention, and make the leaderboard a lot more fun to watch.

And there is something real on the line too. Vercel will pick five startups that will get access to Vercel VIP Startup Perks, worth $30k in Vercel credits, and one or more startups will be invited to pitch to Vercel Ventures.

If you have been waiting for a good reason to launch, this is a pretty solid one.

Roll turns your phone into a disposable camera. You take photos without seeing them, wait for them to “develop,” then get a batch back later. No retakes, no edits, no checking every shot right after.

🔥 Our Take: If you ever handed a disposable camera to your parents and hoped for the best, this will feel familiar. You did not know what you got until days later. Half the photos were blurry, someone had their finger over the lens, and somehow those were the ones you kept. That’s the energy here.

Claude Code Routines let you save a prompt, connect it to a repo, and have it run automatically. You can trigger it on a schedule, from an API call, or off something like a GitHub event, so it keeps doing the work without needing to be reopened.

🔥 Our Take: This is where things start to feel less like chatting with an AI and more like setting up a system. Define the job once, then it runs in the background. Fix bugs overnight, review PRs as they come in, clean up a backlog without touching it.
