    Hey everyone! I'm Rob and I want to share what I've built - a solid ledger behind simple API: https://decimals.app The ledger is a key piece of any financial system and is easy to get the design wrong, resulting in troubles for making sure money movements are adding up. I took a lot of inspiration from good designs from Square, Uber, and others for the scalability and security aspects. And on the usability side, I applied many concepts from the Ledger CLI, making it very easy to use. I'm really happy I get to show this to you all, thank you for reading about it! Please let me know…

    I'm tired of seeing founders building stuff for months and years that nobody would ever pay for. They just don't see it, like most other founders learn to do. Business validation = making money, and nothing else really. If you really wanna make money this year, I can help you do it.

    Hey HN, I’m Kyrylo. I recently created a small tool that lets you gather, refine, and validate SaaS/startup ideas using AI. I used to jot down my product ideas in a note apps, but it wasn’t very practical for collecting feedback or refining them. So, I built this tool to make the process easier. Here’s how it works: 1. Enter a brief description of your idea. 2. The app uses AI to generate project details. 3. Share your idea via a link that includes a feedback form. It’s pretty straightforward, and I’d love to hear your thoughts or any suggestions!

    Hi HN, I’m a solo founder. I built ProblemHunt after noticing a common pattern: many founders start with ideas and solutions, but don’t spend enough time understanding real problems. ProblemHunt is a simple place where people share problems they actually face in work or life. Developers and founders can browse these problems and use them as a starting point for building products. So far: – ~5,000 users – 150+ real problems submitted – 100% organic growth This is still early, and I’m trying to understand if this is genuinely useful. I’d really appreciate feedback: – Would you use something…

    Finding the balance between humans and machines has been the thread through my career. I always had a thing for AI and couldn't wait for it to actually deliver on what was promised. Now it does, and it's more important than ever that humans and machines keep working well together. AI makes creation trivial. Text, code, design, strategy, in seconds. But one thing AI does not create: independently verifiable proof of when something existed. Reproducing is now cheaper and easier than creating. Chronology becomes contestable at the moment it matters most. The universal problem was known. I…

    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 :)

    We built this database using the same software investors use to discover startups. My friends and I really wanted to know which startups to work for. Are we on the right track? PS - there's a paywall but if you want to explore more, just DM me your email and I'll send you a free access code! Thank you so much.

    I was working on validating some of my own project ideas. While trying to find how to validate my idea, I realized the process itself could be turned into a tool. A few late nights later, I had something that takes any startup idea, fetches discussions, summarizes sentiment, and gives a quick “validation score.” It’s very rough, but it works, and it’s already making me rethink a few of my own ideas. It's still a work in progress. I don't actually know what I'm doing, but I know it's worth it. Honest feedback welcomed! Live demo here: https://validationly.com/
