Products that do what Startfa.st – A curated, fast directory of AI, dev, and product tools does
Hi HN! I’ve been building startfa.st, a curated directory of AI, developer, and product tools. Link: https://startfa.st Like many people building in AI/dev, I found myself drowning in new tools every day, everything from agents, deployment frameworks, auth platforms, workflow engines, model APIs, automation tools, design tools, security stacks, etc. There’s constant novelty, but it’s very hard to find signal. Most lists on the internet recycle the same names. So I built startfa.st to solve my own discovery problem. What startfa.st is A fast, searchable, hand-curated index of…

Hi, I built letsbuild.ai over the weekend. This is a link site dedicated to AI and can be edited via Github. There is well over 50 links already as a start. If you got interesting AI related links/ categories, would welcome any PR.

I've been exploring the (not so=) amazing potential of AI in coding and have compiled a list of tools. From AI-powered IDEs to code generators, this resource is my contribution to the community. I'm still on the fence about including txt2sql projects, as their functionality seems too basic to me. And I'm personally maintaining this, so your feedback is wellcome.

I work on R00M 101, a Reddit-based OSINT profiler. While building it, I realized most open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools are scattered across GitHub, outdated blog posts, or random Discords. So I put together a public-facing directory of 100+ OSINT tools used by analysts, journalists, and security folks, free, filterable, and categorized by risk, platform, and use case. The idea was to make something useful and no-friction. Built with static HTML + SQL backend + a lot of caffeine. Would love feedback on how to improve the UX or tool curation. If anyone wants to contribute tools or help…

Hey HN, I've made a groundbreaking discovery: procrastination can lead to questionable projects! While avoiding real work, I somehow created a directory of 130+ AI agents and frameworks. It's like I tried to organize a robot party and everyone showed up. What's inside: - A list of AI agents - Frameworks to build more agents So, HN, before I spiral into an existential crisis: did I accidentally create something useful, or should I go touch grass? P.S. If this somehow becomes the next big thing, I promise to pretend it was intentional all along.

Over the last 3 weeks, I built a website to organize 70+ AI tools into a searchable, reviewed, and categorized hub. Use case: I was constantly sharing AI tools with friends & colleagues, but the available directories felt outdated, shallow, or spammy. So I built my own: - Tools are categorized (e.g. writing, voice, code, automation) - Marked clearly as free/paid - Includes brief reviews, ROI notes, and usage tips - Fully searchable and updated daily - Working on tool ratings, comparisons, and a “trending” leaderboard Website: https://www.toolsverse.tools/ I’d love…

So a while ago I was thinking it would be neat to build a site that had the most absolute utility. The idea I came up with was a site to store those little protips that are super useful, if you know them ahead of time. I hired a guy to work on it with me, and ClueDB was born: http://cluedb.com/ Please give it a whirl (it uses Twitter auth as login but doesn't tweet anything) and tell me what you think! (Various trivia: My first try at a project coded by someone else and "product managed" by me. Runs on Flask + MongoDB. Also, this is totally unrelated to my startup.)

Hi HN! I am an undergrad student trying to build interesting things with AI. Recently, I was looking for a dataset I could use for a new project. I realized that it is really frustrating to go through all the government websites (with terrible UX) just to find some usable dataset. I set out to build a GitHub for datasets, named DataHub. Right now, we have more than 1000 datasets from Montréal and New York City, with more cities coming soon (and possible government agencies). All of this is wrapped into a powerful search. It's a breeze to find a dataset to work on. I'd be interested to know…

I built this AI navigation site when I was learning NextJS; I looked for AI tools to solve problems along the way, and found a lot of interesting AI products; A lot of these products are great. I thought it would be a good idea to bookmark my browser, but I wanted to share it with everyone in the world, so I had this site. Now you can do it in AI WITH. ME Find the AI products you need for work, life, and study; I have a lot of categories to choose from: programming, art, writing, video, lifestyle, health, you name it, and I try to update the data every day. If you find it helpful to you, you…

AI search results are quickly becoming more important than SEO, but as businesses, we have no visibility over it! That's why I'm building "Ahrefs for AI search results". Track keyword performance on AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity & more

Hi HN, I'm happy to finally ship my first development project: http://favsi.com. Favsi is a site to share lists of random stuff. Things you probably wouldn't post anywhere else. Like: • Favorite cheesy ninja movies • Favorite original NES games • Favorite songs to sing in the car There's been lots of list-type apps cropping up lately: Bagcheck, ListGeeks, Listry, and probably others. Mini-trend? Some Background: By trade, I've been mostly a business guy [shudders] at startups, but have been working to change that for awhile now. I started learning Ruby a few times last year but had trouble…

Hi HN, I’ve spent the last decade building hardware products like humanoid robots, 3D printers, and self-driving tractors. I needed a tool to navigate technical documents faster, so I created one with friends. This tool helps with component search, cross-referencing, comparison, and debugging. We’d love your feedback, whether you find it useful or not. Thank you! Try it here: www.convergelab.ai

Hi everyone, We have been developing a platform to enable professionals to build AI assistants to help them through their work. After a few months, we realized people are trying to sell basic functionalities that can be built from scratch in a couple of hours. Due to this, individuals who are not familiar with the current SOTA are misinformed about the potential of generative models. So, we decided to open up some of our most popular templates as standalone tools for free to empower individuals and set a solid standard for what people should expect. We believe the barrier to accessing…

Hi HN! Solo developer here. 10 days ago, I started building this after spending countless hours copying/pasting marketing sections and fighting to keep them consistent with our design system. I wondered: "What if AI could understand our design system and generate React components that actually match it?" Current progress (10 days in): - Can generate hero sections that follow your design tokens - Uses your actual component variants and styles - Works with Next.js, Tailwind, shadcn/ui It's very early days, but I'm excited to share it with other devs who: - Are tired of rebuilding…

Hi there, I've created this side project to make it easier to find interesting repositories using AI. There's still a lot of work to be done to improve it, so any suggestions for enhancements would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey HN! I really like local apps for their simplicity and privacy and hate paying Saas bills and I wanted a way to start automating my life with AI so I started building Anything. Anything is built on Tauri so the front end is React and the "backend" is Rust. It's 100% local & 100% doesn't ask you to spin up docker to use. Another core goal of the app is to get away from "package bloat" you see in other general purpose AI oss projects where they have a package.json that is 300 lines long ( more on that later. ) Oh btw I suck at Rust! I learned Rust while building this so the code is _not…
