What it does
You shipped. Now what? Most solo founders waste weeks guessing which communities to post in, what to say, and why nothing sticks. Nilkick cuts through that. Paste your product URL and get a free, instant readiness score plus a personalized launch map. If you want the full push, a one-time fee deep-reads your product, finds live Reddit threads and real venues where your actual users are active right now, and drafts every post for you.
You shipped something good and it

FoundersWall2025 · founderswall.com · ▲35I used to be just a blogger. Now I build internet products, still without code, using AI, design, and taste. I was building in public on X for last 2 months. And honestly, I got tired of how it became performative and started to feel fake. I shipped 2 products. Both failed to get any real traction. I kept sneaking into popular builders’ profiles, hoping to learn how they do it. One thing I kept seeing everywhere, product launch directories. I thought here is the scope. So I started building one. Same UI like the rest. Nothing special. Suddenly one day when it was half built, I realized…
Debutsoft2025 · debutsoft.com · ▲9Hi HN When ProductHunt Ship shut down, I missed having a simple way to collect early signups, email my waiting list, and see how much traction a product idea was getting without setting up half a dozen tools. So I built Debutsoft. It’s a lightweight pre-launch tool for makers and indie founders. You can create a clean landing page, collect and export waitlist signups, send update emails, and see basic analytics all in one place. My goals were: - Simplicity: launch pages that load fast and look good without editing templates. - Ownership: you always own your data and can export it any time. -…
- IMI'm using a nocode comm tool2021 · ▲5
orignally shared this on startup school... i thought id' share it here. i'm using a `nocode communication tool` (a web-based interface... a single browser tab!) for all of these things: 1. landing page — the landing page is the product and i wanted for folks to feel "transported" right into the app without having to walk through a shitty b2b marketing-style content. this is akin to my experience back in the `BBS` days of the mid-90's where you were immediately into the app, community, and tool. no terms of service, no privacy policy. just pure, immediate value. 2. building community — we…

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…
