Diving into Flutter to try and implement an app version of a hobby side project.
Might be a slog since I am also going to be rewriting a large chunk of the web code into Vue components at a similar time, writing an API that will serve both.
SwiftUI, speaking clearly (I'd like to make screencasts one day), Basic SEO + writing.
Latin and SwiftUI
Python. How to Automate the Boring Stuff With Python (to be exact)
Spent my entire day learning about a platform called indiehackers.com. What it is, how it works, the founder, the acquisition by Stripe, how users are liking it, and most importantly, how it can help me and my app/startup.
And how useful did you find it? :)

Building my first ever integration to get a paid version going for Polished.
Good luck! That’s how I learned stripe too by adding it to a side project. So happy for it
I used to be a full stack developer with C# on the backend, then MVC and jQuery on the front. Lately I've shifted to pretty much backend only as jQuery is now outdated. This is why I'm teaching myself Vue, I'm hoping to get back into full stack development again.
I've also been practicing piano every day for 10 minutes. I used to play a lot when I was younger, but haven't really practiced in the past 10 years. So I'm hoping to get better at that skill this year.

Other than that: photography, development, everything which is interesting for me which means many things.
Learning visualization for health and wellness. A friend challenged me to try it for a month. About a week in thus far. I find myself annoyed with the speaker/ instructor. Their slow and soothing voice makes me anxious and irritable. Wonder what the impact will be in 3 more weeks.
How to build my app in Bubble. I’ve been trying to get my shopify MVP off the ground and the concept of no code apps is new to me, and has been a revelation.
Cold email outreach. This is something I want to do to web dev agencies as this is currently a path I see suitable for my startup https://uppington.io
Email marketing for https://www.colorsandfonts.co/newsletter.com ...and already with mailchimp's website UX is giving me such a time...

No it is not possible, no matter what we do even when you are not learning, you are actually learning unconsciously...

How to launch in Product Hunt 🚀
But, I've the feeling that even if products are tech products. To get the most upvotes it has to be directly for tech geeks...
Https://stokednomads.com is a LinkedIn for adventure lovers (mostly instructors but also photographers, copywriters,... ) But not sure how this will fit there 🙄. With so many launches I think it will not be worth it...

Reserve your product hunt launch for when you have confidence it will be successful. It's a great way to get a lot of traffic, but you need to have a great product and good way to organically get upvotes.
Does your product have a following? If so, do they love the product so much that they want you to succeed?
I see your site says "reach 20,000 people", that should more than enough if they love the product enough to go upvote it on PH. I know @harrydry set a goal of 1,000 email subscribers and 1,000 Twitter followers before launching marketing examples on PH. I believe that did pretty well.
Well,
I have nearly 1000 subscribers and on social media accounts thousand of followers. But I've read that if people signup the launch day and upvote the product ,PH would see that as something to penalize.
"They told me it was, but that multiple new accounts signing up and voting one product in the same period of time may trigger our spam detection." @harrydry Marketing Examples
Ahh, that makes a lot of sense.
Guess you need a cross section of users who are already PH users.
If you have a great product, though, it should do well!
