Honestly, it might be the least Product Hunt app ever.
A slow reflective app launched on a random Wednesday with no campaign behind it whatsoever.
But somehow that also feels perfectly aligned with what the app actually is.

Quick story. I eat fine, real meals, nothing crazy. But I never actually checked my protein until recently. My target is 106g a day and I was sitting around half of that. Eating "healthy" and eating "enough protein" turned out to be two very different things.
Once I started hitting 106g, I noticed my overall calories were low too. I'd been undereating carbs and fat without meaning to.
I tried a bunch of tracking apps and none of them stuck. They all felt like a part-time job or wanted to charge a fortune for basic features. So I built my own.
It's called Protein Palette: https://www.protein-pal.com
You set a protein goal, it plans your week, you can snap photos of meals to log them. I kept the pricing super low on purpose because I genuinely want people to use this. The realization itself changed how I feel day to day, and I'd rather more people have access to that than make a bunch of money off it.
Happy to answer any questions.
Not the big events. More the small versions of myself.
What I cared about 2 years ago.
What I was afraid of.
What I thought my future would look like.
Everything just disappears into camera rolls and random notes.
So I started building a small app for myself where I can leave capsules and messages for my future self and revisit old moments intentionally.
Honestly it became weirdly emotional using it after a few months.
I opened a capsule from myself during a rough period and it genuinely felt like hearing from another person.
Curious if anyone else here has felt this disconnect with their own memories/progress over time.

I just shipped 3 apps in 2 months and now I'm hitting the wall I knew was coming: distribution.
I need to find creators in specific niches to test/review/talk about my products. The problem is:
How do you actually find the right creators without losing your soul to endless scrolling? Tools, tricks, anything?
Open to whatever has actually worked for you 🙏
