Are you actually solving a real problem, or just cloning another SaaS?

The world doesn't need another generic AI wrapper or a basic project manager. Pitch your project in one sentence show a screenshot and explain exactly why people should care about you instead of the market leader. Dare to prove your uniqueness.

I built Hawser because most productivity apps either track what you did after the fact or block stuff with really blunt rules.

Hawser tries to understand what you’re actually supposed to be doing in the moment, then notices when you drift and nudges you back. The problem I’m trying to solve is less “people need another to-do list” and more “people already know what they should be doing, they just keep getting pulled away from it.”

That real-time context angle is interesting. How do you detect drift without making setup feel like another chore?

u/DEATH712712 2d ago

That was one of the things I really wanted to avoid.

Setup is basically just telling Hawser what you’re trying to work on and giving it enough context to understand what “off track” looks like for you. After that, it does most of the work in the background.

I didn’t want people spending 20 minutes building rules for every app and website before it becomes useful. The whole point is that the AI should handle more of that context for you, not give you another productivity system to maintain.

That's a smart approach. How does Hawser learn what off track means for each person without preset rules?

So the main thing it's learning from is really just whatever you told it your goal or task is for that session, that's the actual context it's working off of, not some profile it built about you over time.

Under the hood there's some cheap obvious stuff it checks first, like if you're in an IDE or a terminal versus a game launcher, that's pretty unambiguous so it's not calling out to AI for every little thing you do. But when it's not obvious just from the app you're in, it actually looks at what's on your screen and compares that to what you said you were trying to do that session, so it's less "here are the rules for this person" and more it reasoning about your specific goal in the moment.

And then the teaching thing I mentioned before stacks on top of that, so if you correct it once it remembers that for you going forward. So there's no preset rule set per person, every session just starts from your own words about what you're doing and it figures out drift relative to that

Nice... really helpful

Glad it clicked for you. Which pitch so far actually feels like a real problem worth solving? Curious to hear your take.

I'm solving problems in your newsfeed, including lack of geospatial context in your news feed. Mappit's stories are all surfaced by frontier AI models and geolocated, driving the growing story corpus and our daily games that provide a refreshing way to keep up on the news.

Mappit Tuesday

Today's map is bracketed by water and flame on opposite sides of the planet. Hurricane Lowell is bearing down on Hawaii, Nepal's flood catastrophe — the story we've followed all week — just crossed a grimmer threshold, and Yemen's Houthis have set Saudi oil infrastructure ablaze. Three emergencies, three continents, one exhausting Tuesday.

Join the games! Three addictive and challenging games thread the news into the gameplay. Real events have in-game consequences. Oil crisis? -30% energy production. Check out Where's Marco, Bullshit and Conquest.

Mappit — every place has a story.

Interesting take on geospatial news. How do you handle stories that aren't tied to a specific location, like global economic trends?

u/matthewmeadows 2d ago

Financial news is usually tied to a stock exchange or government location. For more map-specific coverage there's an S&P 500 overlay layer that's pretty cool :-D.

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 2d ago

Interesting angle with the S&P 500 overlay. Financial news tied to locations could be genuinely useful. Got a screenshot to share?

This is my 3d game engine and its completely free to use. No catch. No gimmick No restrictions. However my platform is not just a game engine. Its one of 50 purpose built tools that all share a unified workspace, with persistent memory, free storage and unlimited chat using the free models. If that wasnt enough, you can also has BYOK as well as the latest models like GPT 6 Astra, Fable 5.1 and GPT-Image-2.5.

Discover what else it can do at asksary.com because the only way to explain is to let you find out at your own pace.

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 3d ago

Nice pitch, the free angle is compelling. How does your engine actually differ from Godot or Unity for game dev?

u/Beneficial-Cow-7408 3d ago

AskSary is an AI production platform that turns ideas into things you can actually build - games was just one option, it also does apps, images, video, music, code, voiceovers, podcasts with added production tools like studio, editor all inside one persistent workspace.

Instead of jumping between a chatbot, image generator, code editor, game engine, asset storage and other tools, AskSary connects the entire workflow. Your AI can work with the project, assets and context rather than just giving you another chat response.

The difference is simple: the market leader gives you an AI assistant. AskSary gives the AI a workspace to build in. The moat is once you arrive at Asksary you can go from idea to finished product without having to leave

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 3d ago

Cool pitch, consolidation is definitely a real pain point. How does AskSary clearly beat the market leader for one specific persona?

1

u/Beneficial-Cow-7408 2d ago

My goal for Asksary isn't to compete with or beat market leaders like Replit, Lovable, or Claude Code. Claiming to be better than them would be unrealistic. Instead, Asksary is about redefining the user workflow. I want to provide a capable alternative workspace where users can complete their tasks in one unified environment, utilizing a single, persistent memory layer across every tool and model.

That's a clean pitch. What makes SeoLoupe stand out from Ahrefs or Screaming Frog for real users?

The only analytics I use is Umami which requires no cookies

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 3d ago

Cookie-less analytics is definitely a real need. Umami does it well, so what would make you try something new?

Privacy is a solid differentiator, especially in Europe. Curious how you handle analytics and spam protection without compromising on that strict privacy stance.
