Uplyt.io2025 · uplyt.io · ▲390I'm a solo founder and I've been building Uplyt.io : a tool that connects to your Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and Search Console, then turns all that data into clear, actionable insights. No setup, no dashboard overload, just clarity. Why I built it: After years helping SMBs and marketing teams, I saw the same problem over and over: GA4 and ad platforms are too complex for 95% of people. Most users don’t need more data — they need direction. Uplyt is my take on solving that. Once connected, Uplyt gives you: – Insights like "your SEO conversions dropped -22% on mobile last week –…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

SpeedVitals▲829Hi HN, I’m Kashish, one of the co-founders of SpeedVitals, a platform for testing & monitoring website performance with a major emphasis on Core Web Vitals. Until now, our platform has only focused on Synthetic/Lab testing, such as Lighthouse tests and TTFB tests. But now, we have developed a Real-User Monitoring platform that doubles up as a Web Analytics tool. One major feature we have that most RUM tools lack is Performance Audits. Just like Lighthouse audits work on Lab test data, our audits work across all the real-user visits and gives suggestions on what task to prioritize first.…
