Hikoo

Hey HN! We're building Hikoo, a GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) platform for businesses that want to understand and improve how they appear in AI-powered search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews).

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
