    I unlocked reaching 10.000 real potential customers as low cost as $502022 · ▲37

    As a founder without an audience, building great products is no longer enough. It is difficult to find first paying users, grow, and discover where and how to reach them. You have to find the right people through the noise. As a founder who likes to break the rules, I discovered a method. I unlocked reaching 10.000+ real potential customers as low cost as $50 with 90% successful targeting. Solution: Twitter custom audience lists. This is the Holy Grail. you can turn it into a lead generating machine by using custom audience list. Twitter lets you use lists to target. But there is more…

    I built a keyword research tool without a monthly subscription2024 · seo-stuff.com · ▲9

    Hi HN! My name is Yossi, and I'm a solo indie maker. SEO tools are super pricey and free tools often fall short, leaving most users to costly subscription-based tools. So, I built SEO Stuff, a keyword tool that uses a credit-based system for builders like me who use SEO more sporadically. Have a great day!

    I built a 1‑dollar feedback tool as a Sunday side projectDec 2025 · onedollarfeedback.com · ▲21

    I’ve always found it funny how simple feedback widgets end up as $20–$30/month products. The tech is dead simple, infra is cheap, and most of us here could rebuild one in a weekend. So as a “principle experiment” I built my own today as a side project and priced it at 1 dollar. Just because if something is cheap to run and easy to replicate, it should be priced accordingly, and it’s also fun marketing. 1$ feedback tool. Shipped today, got the first users/moneys today, writing this post today. Side Sunday project, then back to the main product tomorrow.

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
