OrRefund

What it does

OrRefund is the platform where early adopters fund products before they're built. Here's how it works: → Founders post their idea + launch deadline → Users back it with real money → Founder ships on time = everyone wins → Founder misses deadline = 100% automatic refund For founders: validate demand + generate revenue before writing a single line of code. For users: back products you actually want, at an early adopter price — zero risk of getting ghosted. No excuses. No ghosting. No drama.

  Indiebackers – Back indie projects and earn rewards2024 · indiebackers.dev · ▲70

  Hi Hackernews! My name is Sokrates and today I am launching indiebackers.dev I started working on Indiebackers once I realized that a lot of people (including myself) do all the heavy lifting, such as - A brand and logotype - Buy a domain - Make a landing page - Deploy a website - Coding if necessary All that jazz all to validate an idea? Existing platforms today focus primarily on launching. Indiebackers focus on the shaping of the idea until it's a MVP and ready to launch. Why would anyone want to become a early bird or adopter? What do indiehackers get from early birds and what do they…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  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…
