Products that do what I started treasure hunt in Blue Ridge. It's Day 7. Prize is up to $36k+ does

I modeled it after last year's Project Skydrop (http://projectskydrop.com) * 24/7 web cam trained on the treasure of $26k in gold coins * shrinking circle (100 miles today) showing its location and updating every morning * premium option for aerial photos that go higher and higher every morning. $10 from every premium upgrade goes towards the pot Over 5k people have joined so far. Good local media attention but nothing national yet. There's a private community for premium users and it's actually been pretty fun with people posting photos of their hikes and sharing their…

    TLDR; We made an AR treasure hunt app, we are running a hunt for YOU in SF, download it here to try it out: https://scvg.app/dl/gg7P Hello, I’d like to introduce a project I’ve been working on for a few months now. It’s called Scavenger. In April, at a YC Hackathon, I came up with the idea to create augmented reality treasure hunts for cash prizes. I had been working on some VR projects for a while, but after receiving a lot of positive feedback about Scavenger, I decided to start full-time. My co-founder, Harry, came on board immediately after I pitched him the idea in…

    I started foundcamera.com as a basic weekend project a little while back. I hoped to help a few people out and potentially facilitate some great success stories. I thought it improved upon what's out there already as it's super simple (no signup) and it puts the geographic element at the centre of helping people to find & return treasured photographs to their owners. It's recently picked up in popularity and I'm adding more lost and found items and seeing several hundred visitors each day. No successes as of yet. Any suggestions for getting more people to play detective and help return…

    Hey guys, So we made this site with the goal of funding a lobbyist to represent the 99%. The money comes from small pledges of $5 and up. So far we've raised nearly $10k in under a week. We're focusing fund raising efforts on causes. I'm the founder and lead developer, and I'd love to hear this community's thoughts on the project as well as answer any questions. Thanks guys! http://www.wethelobby.com/

    This was more of a sandbox to play with Raphael and Flot than anything else but I think there are some interesting statistics in there. It'd be awesome to do this over time but I really don't have the spare time required.

    We've set up DeekSeek R1 with a system prompt that attempts to censor the word PRIVATEKEY from its response. If you can get DeepSeek R1 to output that string (not in the reasoning, but in the final response), the system will reveal a private key which contains $1000 USDC. You will have a 50 token limit in the input. We will have a series of contests, sponsored by AI researchers, in order to learn more about prompt engineering and how LLMs interact with real money. Good luck! Edit: The money was claimed! Thanks for playing all. You can still play for fun. Stay tuned for the next one! Stats:…

    I have been in the position plenty of times where I am trying to get my game out there and there just aren't a lot of places to do it. Product Hunt is great... but it's a little restricting and difficult if you don't have an in to post. So I created Game Hunt. The goal is to help with the exposure of a game to people who might not otherwise get exposure to it. Here's the link http://gamehunt.co/ Any feedback would be great!

    Hey guys! Investor Hunt (https://www.investorhunt.co) is a categorized database of 40k+ angel investors and venture capitalists. Figuring out which investors are likely to be interested in your project and how to get in direct contact with them is a nightmare. All this data is spread out, and finding it pushes you down a rabbit hole of AngelList, personal websites, Crunchbase, and VC fund portfolio pages. All this can take hundreds of hours of research––hours you could be using to actually close rounds. For the last few years while we’ve been fundraising for different projects,…

    I built this tool to help understand and quickly find coins on the Binance platform specifically for use with day trading. https://creative-look.com/clients/ransomcarroll.com/binance/... The problem is there's 100+ coins and i'm not going to constantly scan through each one. So the app has categories like 'big movers with volume' and other filters to help you see what's going on RIGHT NOW. You would obviously use this information to identify potential buy in opportunities. Looking for thoughts and recommendations.

    Hi there, So a buddy a couple of days ago came up with the idea for a new SaaS product regarding gpt and image generation. We did a quick MVP that barely works, it breaks almost 50% of the time but we still wanted to validate the idea before going all in. We have almost 1k followers on Twitter together. Did a quick post describing the idea with a stripe link in the comments with a 5$ value, no landing page, and no shipped product. In exchange, the buyers become beta users. Around 30 mins later we got our first sale next 30 mins another 5$ and so on. Do we consider the idea validated? The…

    A little over a week ago, I was wondering if anyone would care about the thing I’d just built. Let me rewind a bit. I’m a solo indie maker, just like a lot of you. I’ve built so many projects, put in the work, and then… nothing. A few months ago, I launched something I was genuinely proud of on one of the big platforms. I was excited, hopeful. But within hours, it got buried under a pile of other launches. No one saw it. No one cared. That sucked. Not because I expected it to blow up overnight, but because it felt like I never even had a shot. And I kept thinking about how many other indie…

    I'm working on https://cubetrek.com, a web app to manage, visualize and compare your running, hiking, mountainbiking, skiing... activities. Some features include: a github-style calendar heatmap, 3D visualization of tracks (especially useful for hill climbs and mountaineous terrain in general), a world map displaying all your activities at once. Excluded features: although you can share yoir tracks to the world, should you choose so, there are no friends, no likes, no comments, i.e. none of that social networking stuff. And no ads. Any feedback is appreciated, let me know what you…

    So, this summer I was hunting for a flight from Calgary to Tokyo with WestJet, and I kept seeing these random cheaper flights popping up. I got tired of refreshing the site non-stop, so I whipped up a script to scrape the flight data. It paid off—I scored a roundtrip for $1000 CAD in July! Naturally, I decided to turn this into a full-fledged project and built flight-price-alert.com! Tech details: Built with Go for the backend and SQLite for the database. Added some TLS spoofing to get around Cloudflare’s JA3 fingerprinting that was blocking my requests. Styled the site with PicoCSS—it was…

    I had an idea for this concept for a while and decided to build a little website around it. It's kind of a silly idea but I'm really curious to see how it plays out. If you're a particularly curious person, be warned. By submitting a payment to the game, you get to see how many other people were curious enough to play. You will be ranked based on your payment amount, and get to discover some interesting insights about the game's dynamics. Hope you like it
