What it does
GhostCTO helps founders turn messy ideas into clear technical plans. Instead of spending weeks figuring out features, architecture, timelines, and what to tell developers, GhostCTO asks the right questions and generates practical documents you can actually build from. Whether you're hiring an agency, working with freelancers, or building your first MVP, you'll know exactly what needs to be built before writing a single line of code.
GhostCTO helps non-technical founders scope, hire, audit, and negotiate before they spend on custom software.

CREAO2025 · creao.ai · ▲738Hi HN! I'm North, DevRel from the CREAO team. We are a 15-20 person startup, and we spent a couple of months building this vibe coding product. We've been exploring the possibilities of how agents should assist people's work for productivity in various scenarios. Three months ago, we noticed that all small teams and companies are struggling with subscribing to multiple SaaS tools that never fit their exact needs. Pretty much all founders and SMB professionals need customized productivity tools that fit their daily work routines, but they don't have developers to build these lightweight tools…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
