FoundersWall▲35I used to be just a blogger. Now I build internet products, still without code, using AI, design, and taste. I was building in public on X for last 2 months. And honestly, I got tired of how it became performative and started to feel fake. I shipped 2 products. Both failed to get any real traction. I kept sneaking into popular builders’ profiles, hoping to learn how they do it. One thing I kept seeing everywhere, product launch directories. I thought here is the scope. So I started building one. Same UI like the rest. Nothing special. Suddenly one day when it was half built, I realized…

hey y'all -- can you please tell us if our job search tool sucks? :D we built it using an investor platform called Harmonic.ai to gather startup data, then contextualize it so that job seekers could find out about the most exciting startups hiring first (like if they just raised, growing headcount fast, have an ex-unicorn founder, etc). pretty sure we're the first platform doing anything like this. anyway, let me know what you think. really excited to launch this thing soon! getting feedback from the hn community first is really fun :)

Hey HN, I’ve been building SaaS products and running small service businesses for a while, and I kept running into the same issue — founders with great small ideas (like an internal dashboard, automation, or MVP) struggle to get them built quickly without overpaying or managing freelancers. Agencies quote $5k–$10k, freelancers are hit-or-miss, and even with no-code tools, you still need design and tech skills. So I built MicroBuilder.dev - a simple way for non-technical founders and small teams to get small builds done. Here’s how it works: 1. You describe what you want built or your pain.…

GitHub▲10PMB is a local-first memory system for AI coding agents, running on MCP and storing data with SQLite and LanceDB. It preserves project context, decisions, and preferences across sessions and tools. I created it because coding agents frequently lose valuable context between sessions, especially on long projects. So, I'd love feedback from those who use coding agents regularly. What do you think should be auto-remembered versus what should always need explicit confirmation?

Oh, hello. I didn't see you there. Did you ever wonder what it takes to build and launch a software product from scratch? Not a high-level summary. Not a short essay that describes a year of development. Detailed, day to day activities. A captain's log. Mistakes and pivots. Technology choices. Marketing activities. Design considerations. You might know me as the creator of SumatraPDF. I'm starting a new software product from scratch and I decided to make it an experiment of building in public. I hope to inspire others to build more software by de-mystifying the process of creation. I'm on…

Hello everyone. I'm a relatively new developer and I started my first project to go full production recently. It is a directory of payment processors and payment service providers. It's free to use and gives detailed info on their pricing, business model, supported business types, available countries, prohibited businesses and high risk business support. So far only 40 have been added with more to come. And I allow processors to contact me so that they're details can be added to the database. I'll eventually automate this and add verification the months to come. I hope you'll find it useful.…

Hi HN, After 15 years in product management, I realized there’s nowhere for Product Managers to actually practice, most learning focuses on theory, not doing. I built The Product Sandbox, a platform where PMs can practice real-world product scenarios, make decisions, and strengthen core skills through daily missions and challenges. It’s designed for aspiring to senior PMs who want to keep improving through real practice. I’d love feedback from this community on how you think PMs (or teams) can best build real-world experience outside of their day jobs. https://sandbox4pm.com

I build a lot of small products myself and I realized how many indie founders want an exit that doesn’t involve platforms charging large commissions or requiring big revenue numbers. Sometimes a project makes $50/month, sometimes $500, sometimes $0 but has a great codebase, and that’s enough value for someone else. So I built buy-startups.com, a very simple, privacy-friendly marketplace for buying and selling small online startups. It’s not fancy. There’s no commission, no listing fee, no hidden funnel. Just a straightforward way for indie devs and bootstrappers to list a project and…
