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.

VCbacked▲181I built this for anyone whose business revolves around funded startups — whether you're a VC tracking new raises, a sales team targeting high-growth companies, a recruiter staffing fast-scaling teams, or an agency looking for clients with fresh capital to spend. The problem I kept running into: Crunchbase has data but no contacts. Apollo has contacts but isn't curated for VC-backed companies. PitchBook and CB Insights are $5–25K/year and overkill for most use cases. We manually verify every contact and add 500+ new leads monthly.

Hey HN! After lots of dogfooding, we are now releasing Algora.io to help developers share bounties & easily meet new collaborators. The problem: early-stage founders always have more work than people, tight budgets and no time. Hiring full-time engineers is often not an option, yet most founders would welcome contributions from new collaborators. Meanwhile, most developers welcome flexible work. However, today, all of this is hard. Our solution: we built a Git GUI where you can pay developers and start collaborating with new ones, in just a few clicks. On Algora you can share, reward and…

DeVibe▲91Hi HN, I noticed that many vibe coders have a problem with building their apps. It's nice and easy when you're starting, but when you need to launch a production-ready app... The fun stops. That's why I built DeVibe: to connect vibe coders with developers. - Vibe coders post jobs; devs apply, and get accepted, or - Devs create services, which vibe coders can book immediately. Goals: make it a go-to place for vibe coders needing help, create more dev jobs in a tough market, and help end users get safer/stable apps. Would love to hear your feedback!
