    LinkedIn feels more like Facebook every day — noisy feeds, fake engagement, and everyone shouting into the void. Thats why I used to built a personal microsite on Squarespace and uploaded a video resume to YouTube to stand out - it helped me land interviews and get into Big Tech. But I always wondered: why isn’t there a platform designed to help you stand out like that? So I built OpenSpot: a public, curated platform where you can showcase who you are — with video, audio, and proof of your work. No endless feeds. No humblebrags. Just real people open to new opportunities. We’ve already…

    Please check it out. I spent all of 2012 learning to code to launch what would eventually become Uncover. I'm super excited to announce that we're finally live. Here's a blog post I wrote on how we got there and a little story behind the startup: http://spencerfry.com/introducing-uncover

    This is the first version of an app idea I had last month as a way to dip my toes into some of the AI APIs. The idea is you can record yourself answering and rehearsing what you'll say to common interview questions, and receive AI feedback on how you did and how you can improve. In the future I may expand into other subject areas, but wanted to scope it to the behavioral interview format for the time being. Super open to feedback and suggestions!

    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!)

    LinkedIn has become a carnival of fake engagement, spammy DMs, and job listings that lead nowhere. After years of watching my resume vanish into the abyss of the "Jobs" tab, I realized it was time for something new. I’m not alone. I surveyed 1,000 recent college grads—and the vast majority shared the same frustration: Why is there no platform that helps candidates stand out, instead of blend in? So I built userpitch: a candidate-first public platform where people can showcase who they are—not just what they've done—through short, voice-based elevator pitches. No feeds. No spam. No corporate…

    Hi HN, After I finished my thesis on feedback management for SaaS at the end of last year, I thought it was time to do something hands-on that topic. Since I like the idea of such feedback tools, that lets you collaborate with users to find solutions together - instead of having a separated feedback from each user - this became my starting point. I also like the approach of the chat widgets as they make it easy for users to get in touch with the people behind the app. So I tried to combine these two approaches with sleekplan.com. Here are some of the main features: * Collect & discuss…

    Hey Hacker News, I made a job aggregator for entry-level positions that focus on students, recent grads, and individuals with less than 3 years of experience. I mostly find dev jobs requiring 3+ years of experience and is a huge pain so I made this. We recently launched our MVP last month and today we are launching V2 with a category based re-design. We will be adding filtering tags very soon. Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback. Link: https://entrylevel.io

    Promptly is my first SaaS Project. I built it because I wanted to refine my dev skills and also to have a central place to store my prompts for GPT, Midjourney, and other AI platform and systems. Would love some feedback on the website itself, as well as advice on how I should go about the marketing

    As a product manager I've used different feedback tools and almost never liked the design and experience of the widget. And pricing of some existing tools is just way too high, at least for indie makers or small businesses ($35 for 100 responses...). That's why I've launched Freddy Feedback (today!). You can find it on www.freddyfeedback.com. Curious to hear your feedback (very meta ;-)).

    Hey HN, When I was learning to code I was always intrigued to see the guys on twitter making money with a SaaS. I always wondered how to make them and after a few months I developed my own. I wanted to share a Boilerplate for any new devs who are wondering how to start their own SaaS or wonder how things work. Boilerplate comes with Auth, Payments, UI and all the good stuff. Ali

    Inspired by HN posts like this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10890032 we set out to make an onboarding platform that helps teams design and implement effective onboarding workflows. I'm reaching out to the HN community for feedback on our private beta. I'd really like to connect with those that have struggled with onboarding in the past to see if our tool can help. If you're interested in trying the product, tweet at me on twitter @raykanani :) Product link http://www.qrtrmstr.com/

    orignally shared this on startup school... i thought id' share it here. i'm using a `nocode communication tool` (a web-based interface... a single browser tab!) for all of these things: 1. landing page — the landing page is the product and i wanted for folks to feel "transported" right into the app without having to walk through a shitty b2b marketing-style content. this is akin to my experience back in the `BBS` days of the mid-90's where you were immediately into the app, community, and tool. no terms of service, no privacy policy. just pure, immediate value. 2. building community — we…

    I just launched a site/business I've been working on for, well, too long: http://FunctionalJobs.com After observing the recent GitHub Jobs launch I decided to try a soft-launch approach rather than launch the site with zero job listings, or backfill listings myself for free. Any feedback on my idea/execution?
