    Hi HN, I’m a former C++ dev turned Product Manager. I’ve noticed many engineers struggle with the "politics" side of things when they become Leads. To help with this, I’m building a text-based simulator. It is NOT an AI chatbot. It is a hand-crafted, branching narrative (logic tree) based on real experiences. I just launched the first scenario: "The Backchannel VP." The Setup: Your VP Engineering is bypassing you and giving tasks directly to your juniors, causing chaos. Your Goal: Stop the backchanneling without getting fired. It’s a short, specific puzzle. I’d love to know if you think the…

    After reading the book Getting to Yes, I really want some tool to help me negotiate more efficiently without having to memorize everything principle. You start by putting in interests of each party, then you can explore different functions: how to respond to the other party, explore objective criteria out there or brainstorm more negotiation options. Still working on it! Leave me feedback if you have any suggestions!

    Co-Op▲30

    AI is in a weird place right now. Technical people marvel over it while non-technical people don't really care. So we built Co-Op, an app specifically designed for non-technical people to run AI agents without needing a Mac Mini or laptop running 24/7. Your agents run throughout the day and complete real work across your most important apps, no code required. For me, this looks like a daily notification with my unread emails across Outlook, Gmail, and any other inbox, the weather, commute time, flight prices I'm monitoring, and the news. But it goes way beyond that. Our agents can build…

    Hi HN! We were trying to have our team adopt AI more and had the idea for "AI Bingo" - hands-on, mini challenges that resulted in something delightful and real. Our team members were obsessed, they were saying it was "weirdly addictive." People made AI-generated ASMR videos, n8n automations, games. Our email marketer built an Electron app using Claude Code. We were stunned - people were learning by doing AND having fun. So, we've spent the last few weeks building Made That, where anyone can do the same challenges and see other people's submissions. A lot of people feel a lot of existential…

    You play as God manifested as a Professor. The goal of the game is to prevent your students from failing a free elective course. To achieve this, you must gain the trust of your students. Each student has their own personality and interests. Teaching them about their interests improves their relationship with you. This is a passion project I decided to pursue after becoming unemployed. It has been a fun project to chip away at over the past two months. The game is in beta, so I am eager to hear any feedback you all have. Join the Discord, and if possible, consider donate to my Ko-fi so I can…

    Stack: WASM + Rust + Macroquad I saw that a company had posted a cool job ad where you had to apply directly via a REST API. That gave me the idea to gamify my resume as well. Since I was bored, I vibe coded a bit and voilà, the result was ready. I think it's something new and fun that might put a smile on people's faces. (Please don't spam my email address, but feel free to send me an email with your high score if you want!)
