I built my first product without coding – TV Premiere Alert
Hey HN, This is the first product I built without coding (see the tools below). I’m a big TV show fan, watching series almost every night instead of sleeping. I got swamped this year and I couldn’t keep up with the premiere dates of my favorite TV shows. I got tired of randomly searching for premiere dates so I decided to build something that reminds me all the premiere dates I care about. I built TvPremiereAlert which sends email reminders on the premiere days of your selected TV shows. The list of series and premiere dates are constantly updated (currently manually), making sure you never…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey HN, This is the first product I built without coding (see the tools below). I’m a big TV show fan, watching series almost every night instead of sleeping. I got swamped this year and I couldn’t keep up with the premiere dates of my favorite TV shows. I got tired of randomly searching for premiere dates so I decided to build something that reminds me all the premiere dates I care about. I built TvPremiereAlert which sends email reminders on the premiere days of your selected TV shows. The list of series and premiere dates are constantly updated (currently manually), making sure you never miss the premiere dates and you don’t have to spend precious time looking for this information. I’m so excited to share this early version with you guys, let me know what you think so I can make a better new version. :) Check out the tool here: https://www.tvpremierealert.com/ I wrote about the entire building process here: https://blog.iamtamas.com/tv-premiere-alert-a-tool-i-built-w... Here are the tools I used: Unicorn platform (building website) https://unicornplatform.com/ Canva (design and images) https://www.canva.com/ Jotform (collecting emails and preferences) https://jotform.com Mailchimp (storing data and sending campaigns) https://mailchimp.com/ Netlify (hosting) https://www.netlify.com/

all alternatives →- WPWeekend project, shows when the next season of your TV show premieres2021 · ▲127
I treated myself to a solo hackathon this weekend and built https://next-season-of.com. The data is scrapped from IMDB and the website is generated using the hugo template engine. There's still a lot of optimization to be done but I'm planning to use this as a learning ground to try and get my pages to rank in Google. It would be really cool to search "next season of Ozark" and see a link to next-season-of.com.

Please check it out. I spent all of 2012 learning to code to launch what would eventually become Uncover. I'm super excited to announce that we're finally live. Here's a blog post I wrote on how we got there and a little story behind the startup: http://spencerfry.com/introducing-uncover
- IBI built a mockup/prototype/wireframe editor in ten weeks2012 · ▲42
Hi HN, After watching a lot of Show HN's here, it's finally my turn to show something. This is the first real project I have shipped, so it is extra special to me. For those who will inevitably ask why I made yet another mockup editor I covered it on our blog (http://blog.mocktailsapp.in/why-build-yet-another-mockup-editor-tm). Not all the features mentioned in that post have been implemented yet. As such Mocktails is pre-beta software and very minimal. It does not even have user accounts or any actual server side component at all for that matter (yet)! Our intention is to build Mocktails…
- SLsoft-launching one of my pet projects2011 · ▲27
So a while ago I was thinking it would be neat to build a site that had the most absolute utility. The idea I came up with was a site to store those little protips that are super useful, if you know them ahead of time. I hired a guy to work on it with me, and ClueDB was born: http://cluedb.com/ Please give it a whirl (it uses Twitter auth as login but doesn't tweet anything) and tell me what you think! (Various trivia: My first try at a project coded by someone else and "product managed" by me. Runs on Flask + MongoDB. Also, this is totally unrelated to my startup.)
- IBI built an end user announcement service that needs no deploys2024 · ▲8
Hey everyone! My name is Will. I’ve been leading engineering teams for over two decades. Also, first time HN user here! One of the common pains I’d encounter in nearly every product I managed was alerting end users to infrequent events like outages, global announcements, beta launches, planned maintenance, etc. We’d always need to deploy custom, one-off modals or other alerts and then have to remember to revert them later. It was always a time sink for a developer to put aside what they were working on to make this happen. This Is Not A Drill! is a simple-to-install JS SDK that makes it…
