Akshen – A community-driven library for verified AI prompts
My co-founder and I have spent years building and launching side projects, most of which have failed. We've accumulated a graveyard of abandoned codebases, and one day we had the idea to sell one of them. The process sparked an idea: what if there was a marketplace specifically for digital projects at every stage of their life, from a simple idea to a profitable business? Today, we're launching just that—an online auction platform where founders can sell their projects. We're talking about everything from: Startup ideas (just a concept or landing page) MVPs and unfinished projects Failed…

What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, I built Akshen because I was tired of "prompt engineering" lists that were just SEO fluff or didn't work across different models. I wanted a place where the community could post prompts they’ve actually tried and tested. The Goal: To create a living repository where prompts are treated like open-source…

Blocks2025 · blocks.diy · ▲448Hi HN, We just launched Blocks - an AI platform where anyone can build custom work apps and AI agents in minutes, no coding required. We’re seeing a shift in how software is built and used. With AI, software isn’t just about tracking processes anymore - it can actively help people get work done. The problem is that most teams still face 2 options: either buy off-the-shelf tools that never quite fit, or invest a lot of time and money into custom development. Neither works well. Blocks is the third option. It’s an AI-native platform where teams can create apps and AI agents for their workflows…

Hi Guys, I made a simple platform to buy/sell side projects. Current solutions are over complicated so I decided to make things simpler. Let me know your what you think about this. https://secondfounder.com
AtomicApr 2026 · atomicapp.ai · ▲106Hey HN - I first posted about my knowledge base product, Atomic, here around a month ago; since then, a viral tweet by Karpathy has produced a torrent of AI powered knowledge base projects. meanwhile I've been shipping like crazy, here are some of the new features shipped in the last month: - Rebuilt the iOS app with an Android app on the way - expanded both the MCP and internal agent chat toolkit immensely - A custom, CodeMirror6-based markdown editor with obsidian-style rendering - A dashboard view that provides a daily summary of atoms created or updated in the last day And many bug fixes…
- MTMarketplace to sell and buy side projects2013 · ▲59
Do you have side projects you created in the past, but no longer working on? We are creating a simple marketplace for developers to sell and buy side projects. Currently, we are finalizing the last minute details and we will be launching quite soon. We would love to have you signed up for the early access to get feedback. Link is here http://www.sideprojectors.com/project/hello Thank you.
SokosumiMar 2026 · sokosumi.com · ▲90I'm part of the team that build Sokosumi, a marketplace where you can hire and deploy AI agents for specific tasks (research, design, sentiment analysis, etc.). Instead of one big chatbot, they’re positioning it as a directory of specialized “freelancer” agents, with a blockchain-based backend for payments and identity. Developers can also list their own agents and monetize them. Curious what people here think about this model: Will specialization make agent marketplaces more useful than general-purpose LLM tools? How viable is blockchain as the backbone for an agent economy? What pitfalls…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
