Inspired by PG’s tweet about a chain of 4 YC startups where the founder worked at a YC startup, I vibe coded and generated these genealogy chains for all ~6k YC startups. And to make these trees easily accessible I packaged them into a hosted webapp. Few noteworthy YC startups which have had huge impact in YC ecosystem Airbnb - 83 YC startups spawned Stripe - 67 YC startups spawned Dropbox - 50 YC startups spawned Justin.tv/Twitch - 47 YC startups spawned More recently founded YC startups which have spawned a lot more YC startups Rappi - 21 YC startups spawned Brex - 20 YC startups…

Hey HN, I built a new platform called Indie Logs to help founders share their journey in a clear and organized way. Building in public is common now, but it's hard to stand out and share everything properly on places like Twitter. Your updates can get lost, and it's not easy to show the full picture of your good and tough days. There is no real way to present the full story. I built Indie Logs because I saw these problems. It gives you a personal page for all your projects, lets you put updates on your own site with embeddable timelines, and offers over 30 themes to personalize both your…

Hi Hackers, We've just launched Startup Tracker http://startuptracker.io The idea is simple: Today it seems everyone's building a startup, yet, there is no easy way to keep track of the cool ones, the up-and-coming ones, and most importantly competitors!

Hello Hackernews! I've been building startups for 3 years and finding my initial customers has always been a big struggle. I recently got into the "build in public" trend and love how it helps founders like us get noticed without big connections. I saw many of us sharing our ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) on IndieHackers, Twitter, and other places. But there wasn't a simple place to see how we're all doing compared to each other. So, I built StartupLeaderboard.com, a site where we can see each other's ARR and learn from it. It's straightforward: you share your ARR, see others, and we all get…
