    A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc. The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly. This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing…

    Atono▲189

    We kept asking "why did we build it this way?" and spending 20 minutes hunting through Jira, Slack, and GitHub for answers. It was a symptom of a bigger "Jira-problem". So we built Atono (https://atono.io). The idea: Stories that don't die when you ship. Everything - requirements, code changes, bugs, decisions - stays in one place. Our take (might not be for everyone): -Feature flags live in the story, not another tool -Feature engagement for you to see if people use what you built -Context > process What's in it: -Toggle feature flags right in the story -See usage graphs without…

    A few years ago, we (Tile.Expert, an online ceramics retailer in the EU) needed an internal tool to coordinate tasks and communicate asynchronously. Existing solutions lacked the security we required, so we built our own. It was strictly internal and unavailable to the public until recently, when we launched it as Remote.Team. The core differentiator is verifiable end-to-end encryption. Unlike standard platforms that just use TLS and hold your data on their servers, our E2EE is client-side. You can verify that we physically cannot read your tasks or messages. This architecture comes with…

    Hey HN, Obviously we are experiencing a surge of stable-diffusion based apps at the moment, but I have yet to see anyone try and map the outputs onto actual physical products that can be delivered to your door. I wanted to make it easy to: - pick an artistic style - hit 'record' and speak into your phone / tablet / desktop or whatever, and describe the kind of design you want your clothing to have (since speaking is more spontaneous that typing) - swipe among a variety of mockups (t-shirts, hoodies etc.) featuring your design, and order it to your door with the click of a button…

    Hi HN, I built MerchBanao while trying to sell merch online. Image generators were good at creating artwork, but the output was rarely usable. I still had to open Photoshop to fix layout, add typography, remove backgrounds, and prepare print files. The generation step was fast but the workflow around it was manual. So I started building a tool focused on the entire merch workflow instead of just generation. You can: • generate a design from a prompt • edit layout and typography • refine backgrounds and composition • export 300 DPI print ready files The goal is simple: go from idea to…

    Hey HN, I built Merchpath to solve a problem I kept running into: buying branded merch for startups is a terrible experience. You're either scrolling through 10,000 undifferentiated products on 4imprint or CustomInk, or dealing with slow promo distributors who communicate entirely by email and take weeks to follow up. I spent months doing customer validation, talking directly to startup founders, marketing managers, and industry insiders. The consistent feedback: the discovery process is broken, the UX is outdated, and nobody has built a merch buying experience for how modern teams actually…
