Skip the Pitch

What it does

Find local businesses with weak websites, grade them, and build a bespoke showcase site before you pitch - then track the deal to won. Builds run locally on your Mac or Windows PC with your own Claude, Codex or OpenRouter account, so they're unlimited. Plans differ only on Google discovery volume and hosted-site capacity.

Find local businesses with weak or missing websites, build a bespoke showcase site with your own AI account, and close the deal. Mac & Windows, from $20/mo.

Skip the Pitch grades a prospect’s web presence, builds a bespoke showcase site you can put in front of the owner before you ever pitch, and tracks the deal all the way to won . The heavy lifting happens locally, which is why builds are unlimited. What we keep is the part you need on every device: your prospects, your deals, and the sites you have published. You bring your own AI account: Claude or Codex with a subscription or an API key, or an OpenRouter key. The app sets up the tooling for you. Publishing is the only time a site leaves your machine: we host it and mint the link, so what you send a prospect keeps working. One desktop app that replaces the spreadsheet, the site-checker, the…from skipthepitch.app

  Artifact Ninja2025 · artifact.ninja · ▲18

  Hi HN, I've been using Claude to generate landing pages and it's a huge time-saver. But, it's hard to go from Artifact -> Published website. That's where Artifact Ninja comes in. How it works: 1. Click "Copy" above your artifact in Claude.ai and paste into Artifact.Ninja 2. We'll generate a static webpage without any Claude branding 3. Use your registrar's "masked forwarding" feature to connect a custom domain Artifact Ninja is a quick utility I needed for my own purposes. It's cheap to host (Cloudflare worker + D1), so it's free! Hope it helps.

  I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

  I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

  Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

  Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

  A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

  OpenSEO▲928

  Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
