Ever wondered if that 'urgent' message from your boss or family member is legit? In this era of digital trickery, ShakeMyHand is here to help. No more second-guessing texts or emails.
I built ShakeMyHand because, let's face it, the digital world can be a wild west of who's who. Am I dealing with my remote team member or some digital doppelgänger? Especially with all the clever AI tricks out there now, we could all use a secret handshake that keeps our chats, e-mails and video calls legit. If you've ever second-guessed a message or hesitated before hitting 'send' on that money transfer, this app's for you too. Give it a spin, and let me know what you think.

This is such a cool concept! 😎 How does ShakeMyHand work exactly to verify the authenticity of digital communications and ensure we're not falling for any clever impersonation tricks? Can't wait to give it a try and add an extra layer of security to my online interactions! 🤝🔒
i ll tell about this app to the queen who wants to transfer 1 million $ to my account lol its a cool app and i see it cam stop lots of scams. its kind of two way authentication but for humans
Love the idea, once or twice I've called it close when family members social accounts were hacked into. I want to ask, both users need to have the shake my hand app to use it? and is the app available in other languages or just english for now? Thanks in adv! :)
Congratulations for the launch 🚀
I want to know 2 things:
1) The use case in which user lost their phone, how would they contact with their friends and family as this is an app, and can they login in to the app using someone else phone or they have to physically pair up the phone again.
2) My friends, family and colleagues are already connect with me on WhatsApp and as per WhatsApp the messages are encrypted so in case of any emergency or sharing any private content like credentials they can share that with me over WhatsApp, is there any security concern in this as I am relying on whatsapp for all these use case.
This is clever. In prep for our genAI/synthetic future, I've half-joked that we need a secret keyword with our friends and family to authenticate our identity.
The biggest challenge in adoption of something like ShakeMyHand is that it never feels urgent or necessary until you need it (similar to life insurance or a will). I'm curious how you're thinking about this, @fluxmatix, and what's on the roadmap.
This is a very interesting concept. Bound to take off in time, especially as the number of scams start going up. I can see a great B2B market also for small and medium enterprises considering they deal with cash too. Wishing all the best!
Interesting solution to a problem I've personally never dealt with. Is it really common for people impersonating someone close to you and be able to reach you through their number or email?
ShakeMyHand is an interesting product, and I hope it achieves success.
I encourage everyone to support this product. I believe it was developed by an indie hacker, and nowadays, more products developed by teams are being released on Product Hunt. Often, a high number of votes doesn't always reflect the quality of a product. Let's show more support for indie hackers.
@fluxmatix, that's amazing! It's thrilling to have an easy and safe way to authenticate people in just one step. Well done and here's to a successful launch of your product!
I'm struggling to understand how the concept is supposed to work once the QR codes have been verified. Will the app automatically tell me that the email I received is from the right person or a whatsapp message? What is the difference to calling the person and asking if they actually sent the message?
Regardless of my unanswered questions, I support the issues of cyber security and personal identification security. I think we will need many concepts and implementations like this app in the near future, especially with the advent of AI, which will allow scammers to make their activities much easier. Congratulations on the launch
