I spent 2 years building a personal finance simulatorfree tier, from $10.75/mo▲766Hey everyone! After another year of building as a solo dev on nights and weekends, I'm back with an update on this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31083093. TL;DR - ProjectionLab (https://projectionlab.com) is a privacy-friendly personal finance planning tool where you can create financial plans that go beyond the standard online retirement calculators. And by popular request, it now supports self-hosting for Lifetime users! Something I'm grateful for is that our community here on HN is the difference between PL existing and not. There was actually a time…

brag.fast▲212Ever since AI made it 10x easier to build apps I've been shipping like crazy. The one thing I didn't do was show off. Building is fun, but if no one sees how cool your app is then what's the point? There's where brag.fast comes in.

Maritime▲98Hi HN, my name is Maria, and I’m a co-founder of Maritime. We started Maritime at MIT to build infrastructure for companies that need to run thousands of isolated AI agents for their customers. Imagine you set up an agent like OpenClaw, or a personal assistant agent with a custom framework, and want to give a separate version of it to every customer/friend. Each customer needs their own agent running in an isolated microVM, with persistent state, secrets, triggers, and sleep/wake behavior. Building such scalable and secure infra will take you months and will cost hundreds of…

Hi everyone! Hope you had a great day so far, and maybe its about to get just a little bit better (thanks Winter ;) So I had way to many terminal windows flying about when using Claude, and kept losing track of which terminal / session / project im in right now. So I built a solution for that, presented it to my team, and now we're using our new tool all the time, and developing it to be the most helpful agents organization tool we can think of. Unfortunatelly, Claude Code only for now, will do Codex soon tho. What it does for you: Main features: - Overview of your projects, with…

Care to share a screenshot and the 'killer feature' of any of your personal, self-built productivity tools? eg. I made my own calendar and money-tracker last year - there are no other users, it makes no money, I have no plans to make it public, but it holds my life together :) http://i.imgur.com/h2keJDg.png GREAT BECAUSE... it tells me how much I'm going to get paid this month. Absolutely no ulterior motive here (ie. I'm not canvassing opinions for a productivity app startup or anything), just interested.

My goal when I first started as an Indie Hacker was to earn $100/day. Everything that I did was to achieve that goal. I reached that goal after 6 months and I increased my goal to $200/day. I reached that goal a year back, now my current goal is $300/day. This might look small sometimes and easy to achieve but it's not and when you get small wins, you move to a bigger goal all the while maintaining the momentum and enthusiasm. On the flips side, if I had set my goal to $10K/month, it would seem very big and I might have given up very early (Actually I wouldn't because I…

Voyage is a bunch of marketing tools for SaaS in one platform. We're betting on three things: 1. Many marketing tools don't offer free tiers. Think Optimizely, 6sense, Mutiny, Typeform, Qualified, Marketo, Drift, etc. A lot of these have minimum contract sizes of 5 figures. Voyage is completely free right now (haven't shipped monetization yet) and will always be usage-based + free tier. 2. Having these tools in one place compounds. We offer global themes for all of the user-facing marketing assets, which means you won't have to manage a brand theme for each of Wistia, Drift, etc. We also can…

Helios▲5I'm 15 and built this solo. Freelancers typically juggle 5-6 disconnected tools to run what is essentially a one-person business. Helios puts CRM, contracts, invoices, proposals, time tracking and client outreach in one place. Free tier available, no card required. Pro is £29/mo founding rate. Also built three free tools that don't need an account: rate calculator, invoice template, and proposal template — helios.today/tools Built on React, Node.js, Supabase and Stripe. Currently pre-revenue and would genuinely appreciate brutal feedback.
