I Built My Product with Next.js After Getting Scammed by LegalZoom

Hi HN, When I was 16, three years ago, I got overcharged by LegalZoom for setting up an LLC. They made it seem more complicated than it is. You can actually do it yourself using your state's Secretary of State website. I made StateSmart to teach people the whole process. It covers: Understand the costs: Understanding all fees. Agent tips: Help with choosing a registered agent or becoming your own. Step-by-step instructions: Clear guidance on each document you need to file.

Hi HN, When I was 16, three years ago, I got overcharged by LegalZoom for setting up an LLC. They made it seem more complicated than it is. You can actually do it yourself using your state's Secretary of State website. I made StateSmart to teach people the whole process. It covers: Understand the costs: Understanding all fees. Agent tips: Help with choosing a registered agent or becoming your own. Step-by-step instructions: Clear guidance on each document you need to file. Compliance: Tips on how to stay compliant with annual reports and filings. Everything online: All instructions and resources are available online. LegalZoom charged me hundreds for something you can do yourself. StateSmart helps you save money and stay in control. I built StateSmart using Next.js, Stripe, and Vercel. Thanks! Antonio

    I spent a few weeks building a private label brand for Amazon – AMA2018 · ▲27

    Hey there HN! So for the last few weeks I decided I wanted to learn more about selling on Amazon and FBA - so I did what any normal hacker would do. I bought a website - https://www.chargeduck.com - Wrote some funny copy (Well I think its funny, but I suppose thats subjective) and then I went a step further. I called up suppliers, had samples made, designed packaging and even through some of that cheeky copy on the box. As I've been talking to people over the last week or two - especially other entrepreneurs its become apparent that this is a world a lot of people don't understand…

    I'll help you name your next startup/product for $502011 · startupgods.com · ▲98

    Hey HN. This is a weekend project of mine. It's an idea I had after seeing so many comments here about the lack of available .com names for startups. As PG once said: "Take a luxury and make it into a commodity"[1]. So, I decided I'd try turning name consulting from something only large corporations could afford to something anyone could. I hope you'll take me up on it :) If you'd like to see a few examples of my work, just check out the links in the footer. Thanks for your attention. [1] http://www.paulgraham.com/ideas.html

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
