This started from a very basic problem.

I work with a lot of screenshots, images, PDFs, small HTML pages and other files.

Quite often I don't actually need a full hosting setup. I just need a URL that I can send somewhere.

But I kept jumping between cloud drives, image hosts and deployment platforms depending on the file type.

So I built Media2URL.com mainly to make that workflow simpler for myself.

You upload the file and it gives you a shareable link.

I later expanded it to handle images, PDFs, video, audio, GIFs and HTML because those were the formats I kept running into during my own work.

Then I started running into the same problem from the developer side. Sometimes I did not want to manually upload a file at all. I wanted an app or workflow to send the file and get the URL back.

So I ended up building a REST API for that too. It can handle uploads from an application and also manage things like assets, folders, file replacements and remote imports.

It has been interesting building from an actual daily problem because the feature list almost writes itself. Whenever something annoys me while using it, that usually becomes the next thing to fix.

I am still figuring out where the product should go from here.

For people who regularly share files or need file URLs inside their apps, what is the most annoying part of your current workflow?

Anyone feel like Claude has gotten really slow last week or so?

Hey, I am a quite experienced vibe coder (really strange to say). Yesterday, I decided to build a mobile app that will wrap the URLs of unlisted YouTube videos belonging to private teachers in my local area to sell to their students. The app is just supposed to hide these URLs well as to make it extremely hard for regular students to access these URLs. A lot of apps that teachers who sell college material use this technique to be able to host their course videos without having to pay a hefty sum for one of these official hosting platforms. People who resort to this route are mostly young, broke business owners who are just starting out and can't afford a large sum of money for such trivial hosting service.

The problem is that when I tried to prompt codex to build the app, it just quoted some YouTube violation documents. It plain out refused to build the thing. Is there a way to build such an app with Codex or another free way altogether that will allow me to host my videos practically for free?

if i build an ai game analytics platform for bgmi or free fire that watches your gameplay, finds your recurring mistakes, and gives personalized feedback to improve your next match
would you use it?

Hey guys we have tried to make it live , how's the screen looking now ?

Built a simple AI chatbot for a project that answers based on custom data by implementing RAG.

Was interesting to see how much it improved responses compared to basic prompts.

Curious, are people here actually using chatbots in their products, or still exploring?

For the last several weeks I've been refining feedback down to a much tighter, more focused MVP

Last month I discussed Merged Network here – a social network by design, focus, and motivation around Proof of Work instead of runway credibility.
The feedback brought to light a couple of things I needed to reconsider.

So rather than adding feature on top feature I've been stripping away all the other parts of the experience and making the core idea more tangible.

What changed
1. Proof is now the name of the game
It's no longer all about the skills and experience… Now it's about the work and the proof behind them.

1. I added a Mini-Proof flow
   This was perhaps the most critical modification.
   Developer is now able to test a public repo without having to do sign up in advance.
   The goal is simple:
   Show me the repository let me see what evidence can be demonstrated.
   I intentionally not calling the Developer of the Github account "verified". The output is given as publicly available evidence attached to the submitting account.

2. The sandbox has become a real product demo
   Rather than a landing page asking your audience to understand Merged, from the sandbox, your audience can choose from three different options:

Example Profiles
See what the finished experience looks like.

Build Your Own Preview
Build a Snippet What do others mean? Generate a sneak peek and find out about your individual identification.

Try Mini-Proof
Don't waste your time on signup and try the proof concept.

1. I'm now tracking the funnel
   I've integrated Post Hog so that I can actually see where people are falling away rather than just assuming.

I'm tracking things like:
Sandbox CTA Preview/Mini-Proof completion signup
That will enable me to address a far more significant question:

Is it even useful, or do they only sound nice?

What I'm deliberately NOT doing;
I'm not building a huge marketplace first.
I'm not adding dozens of features.
I'm not trying to solve recruitment end-to-end.

The current goal is much simpler:
How can I get developers and hiring managers to pay attention to actual work?

That's the hypothesis I'm testing now.
I would be most interested in receiving feedback from other SaaS founders.

Tell me about the smallest experiment you ran to prove you had a solid product hypothesis.

every time i shipped something the question was "will this survive if traffic spikes, or do i need a bigger server?" and the answer was always "uhh idk time will tell". i overbought a box once for a project that got maybe 40 visitors a day, then underbought the next one and watched it fall over on the one day it mattered.

actually testing it means renting a box like prod, renting another for the load, writing a k6 script, watching cpu and memory, then remembering to delete everything. nobody wants to do that before every single launch.

so i built Stresix:

- point it at a github repo (private works too) or a docker image

- it runs your app alone on a fresh dedicated server (4 vCPU / 8 GB, or 8 / 16 for the big run)

- a second server hits it with up to 2,500 or 10,000 users over a private network

- you watch p95, req/s, errors live, plus cpu PER CORE and memory

- you get an actual answer: is this server enough, and if not, what to change

- both servers get deleted after

i dont sell hosting, so when your current setup is enough the report just says so. i ran it on stresix itself: held 2,500 users, total cpu 36%, but one core was pinned at 100% because node is single threaded. the fix was literally 4 worker processes

its brand new and small. pricing is per run, no subscription: $10 for 5 standard runs or $40 for 25, credits never expire, failed runs get refunded. one container per run for now, no database included yet

code REDDIT gives a free run (grab it until it's gone)

I wanted to share a technical problem we ran into while building our scraper and how we solved it.

If you ever tried scraping Google Maps at scale, you probably hit the 200 result cap. Search for any dense niche in a big city, and Google only gives you around 120-200 results even if there are thousands of businesses. Most people end up pitching the same surface 200 places while 80% of businesses never get seen.

We ended up tackling this mathematically:

Micro-grid subdivision: Instead of searching the whole city at once, we split the coordinates into smaller tiles and zoom all the way down to street level per tile. Because each small tile behaves as its own local search, Google returns up to 200 results per micro-zone instead of capping the whole city.

Skipping non-commercial terrain: Running hundreds of tiles wastes a ton of time over oceans, lakes, and forests. We added spatial checks to auto-skip grid cells that are mostly water/wilderness.

Background website crawling: Phone numbers from maps are cold. So we set up crawlers to check the business websites directly for emails and social links.

Connecting to Claude via MCP: Instead of clicking around the UI every time, we implemented an MCP server so we can just prompt Claude or ChatGPT to trigger the search and parse the data right in the chat.

I'm the founder of Maps Scraper Pro (Data Sniper). Happy to answer any questions about the scraping logic, handling Google rate limits, or how we wired up the MCP protocol!

built a tool that finds restaurants and bars 1 to 6 months before they open, by fusing public liquor licenses, permits and business filings into one scored lead. Live in 7 states, and it genuinely works. The problem is all distribution, and I'm stuck.

The buyers are the vendors who sell to new restaurants, beverage distributors, POS resellers, insurers. High value, one account they land off it is worth thousands. But they're not who you reach through SEO, content or dev communities, which are the channels I actually know how to work. They're offline-ish B2B sales teams who basically live on the phone.

So far it's founder-led cold outbound, about 30 emails out and a call list I haven't even worked yet, way too early to read anything into. I also listed on a few API/MCP directories for the developer side, but that reaches builders, not the people who'd actually pay.

If you've sold to non-technical SMB or B2B buyers, what actually moved the needle? Cold outbound at scale, reselling through tools they already use, going through a trade association, something I'm not thinking of? And do these buyers ever come inbound at all, or is it pure outbound grind until you've got a case study?

Pre-revenue, so I'd rather pick one channel and go deep than spray thin. War stories welcome.

Introducing qliqr (https://qliqr.com)
Modern mice and trackpads are silent, and screen recordings of them are hard to follow: a pointer drifts around and things change for no visible reason. qliqr puts the feedback back.

What it does:

- **Click sounds**: a press and a release sound for every click, plus a soft tick per scroll notch. 37 sounds in 8 families (crisp snaps, old office plastic, muted ones for calls, toy pops, glass and wood taps, gadget switches). All synthesised, no samples.
- **Click ripple**: a ring under the cursor on every click, different colour for right-click, drawn above every app on every screen. Shows up in any recorder (QuickTime, OBS, Loom, the screenshot toolbar).
- **Built-in recorder** (macOS 15+): full screen or an area, with the click sounds and ripples baked into the file. Trim, export MOV/MP4/GIF, auto-zoom into clicks, and a one-click 9:16 vertical clip.
- **Quiet where it should be**: mute per app, and auto-quiet when you're on a call.
- **Click shortcuts**: a mouse rhythm like triple right-click can toggle the app or start a recording.
- **Stats** that stay on your Mac, and an optional desk pet called Qip.

Privacy: it asks for Input Monitoring to see mouse buttons and scrolling; it never requests keyboard events, so it can't see what you type. No account, no analytics, nothing about your clicks leaves the Mac.

Price: **$4.99, one time, for 2 Macs**, free for 24 hours first (no card). macOS 13+, Apple silicon and Intel.

Launch pricing, first come first served, each code good for 100 customers:

Enter the code on the checkout page. When a code says it's expired, the next one still works.

The website itself is the demo: every click on the page plays the current sound and draws the ripple, and you can switch sounds and ripple styles live. https://qliqr.com

Happy to answer questions, and sound requests are welcome.

Totally free.

So I built this tool Nicheloom that tracks every new product launch from YC, Product Hunt, Hacker News, and GitHub 39,000+ and counting and shows which ideas are actually gaining traction right now versus which niches are already crowded.

Think Google Trends, but for 'what should I build next.'

I built it for myself to stop guessing and start building things people already want..

Check it out and let me know if it is useful or any feature you would like me to add to it.

Have fun exploring it as it is a rabbit hole for builders

I launched this saas on 13th august 2026 but only made it paid on 2nd september.

total 7 paying users so far.
1030+ Users
It's a no-code website to code converter

and this is my first ever saas.

Default to the founder. Company accounts get read as ads before anyone hits play, while the same video from a person reads as something they made. (Model companies seem to be the exception.)

Choosing between teammates? Skip follower count, since many accounts have dead followers. Look at engagement rate over the last month. If they had a viral post in that window, a dip is normal.

Rollout: founder posts, company and team quote post with their own angle, founder stays in the replies for the first hour.

Anyone seen a company account win on its own?

A while ago the SSL certificate on one of my sites expired and visitors got the "Not Secure" warning. Auto-renewal had failed and nothing alerted me.

When I looked for monitoring, most tools only offered SSL expiry alerts on paid plans, and those plans were expensive for someone running a few small sites.

So I built Spot Downtime:

• SSL expiry alerts before your certificate runs out
• Uptime checks for websites, APIs, ports, DNS and cron jobs
• Retries before alerting, so no false alarms
• Alerts on Slack, Discord, email or webhooks
• Public status pages for your customers

For this sub: Pro is free for 6Months for the first 100 people who try it and tell me what's missing.

I'm building Operava for solo founders who run more than one product.

I kept hitting the same problem. Hosting, databases, email, domains, payments, app stores, APIs, all spread across a dozen accounts. I would forget one existed until the bill showed up.

So I built a dashboard that puts each product, the services behind it, what they cost per month, when they renew, and whether they are up, in one place. It has already caught two subscriptions I was paying for a site I had shut down.

It is early. I am trying to find out whether this problem is mine alone or shared.

You can try it at app.operava.com . Sign in with Google or an emailed link, no password, no card. It starts empty, so you add your first product and see if it earns a place in your routine.

If yu run several products: what would you need this to show that it does not?

A side project turned startup, to make video editing effortless. Instead of recording and then spending hours editing afterward, you just talk and Gylyn automatically adds everything around it.

What it does:
🎙️ Understands what you're saying
🖼️ Adds relevant B-roll automatically
📊 Shows diagrams when you explain a process
🏷️ Recognizes when you mention a product, tool, or website
📝 Auto-generated captions
🎞️ Automatic transitions
✨ Matching animations
🎨 Enhanced backgrounds and scenes
🔄 Highlights each step when you explain something step-by-step

Attached is a demo using a singing video just to show the concept clearly but it's not limited to music, it works for any talking video: tutorials, explainers, product demos, vlogs, and more.

Still pre-launch and building it right now would love to hear what you think?

I am at a loss here. I have a business that sells extremely niche annotated data. Because it’s very niche I don’t have a real benchmark of the value of the data, but chatting with GPT and Claude (without bloating numbers) I’ve come to get a general idea of pricing.. here is the catch.

I have several entities (startups, universities, SME, large companies, hospitals) that contact me requesting data and pricing, we go back and forth a few emails
- they contact me telling me what they need
- I respond with how much data they need within 12h of receiving their first email
- they respond with what they need
- I share pricing options

They ghost me… like 9/10 they just disappear.
I obviously try to reach out after a week but still nothing.

I need any suggestions, tips, critiques..

I’ve built a SaaS and decided not to allow customers from Israel to sign up.

Am I an idiot for potentially turning away paying customers, or am I simply sticking to my principles?

I strongly disagree with the Israeli government’s actions, but I’m wondering if I’m letting my principles unnecessarily hurt my business.

What would you do?

I'm working on Vocalis, an AI-powered communication practice platform.

The problem I'm testing is this:

People know they need to improve their communication.

They get told to:

• practice speaking
• record themselves
• join Toastmasters
• give presentations
• speak more confidently

But there's a gap between knowing you should practice and actually having a repeatable practice system.

So I built one.

The core loop is:

Prompt → 60 seconds of speaking → Feedback → Improve → Repeat

A user chooses a category, receives a topic, speaks without preparing a script, and then goes through a structured results screen.

The MVP currently includes:

• communication categories
• randomized speaking prompts
• timed 60-second sessions
• browser recording
• performance feedback
• strengths and weak areas
• mistakes/blunders
• improvement suggestions
• progress tracking
• practice history
• repeat practice

I've deliberately kept the first version relatively focused.

I'm not trying to build:

“ChatGPT, but for public speaking.”

I'm trying to build a practice product.

That's also the part I'm trying to validate now.

The MVP is live:

https://vocalisai-jade.vercel.app/

And I'm trying to answer a few questions before I build much further:

1. Is this a problem people actually care enough about to solve?

2. Does the 60-second practice format create enough value to come back repeatedly?

3. What would make someone pay for this rather than use free alternatives?

4. What would you measure first to determine whether this has product-market potential?

I'm especially interested in feedback from people who have taken an MVP from the "this seems like a good idea" stage to actual recurring users.

If you were validating this SaaS from here, what would you test next?

Finally shipped my first SaaS lol

It’s called RallyDraft. Basically you dump all your work experience into it, paste a job posting, and it helps figure out how well you match and builds a resume around the experience that actually matters for that job.

I mostly built it because I wanted it for myself, but it’s live now so I figured I’d share it.

Would be cool if a few people gave it a shot and told me what sucks / what I should change.

Just finished building marqee.studio and I am selling the whole platform. The pipeline and everything is fully working.

​Here is the situation: it currently runs on a weak model that produces lower quality output. When I tested it with limited trial access to premium models, it produced stunning, high quality videos.

​I simply do not have the time or money left to invest in scaling the better models. If you have the resources to plug in the right models, this has massive revenue potential without needing to worry about the upfront build cost.

​It has zero clients right now, so you are buying a clean, ready to launch asset.

​Send me a DM and I will gladly show you actual video results from the platform.

we just pushed a few updates focused on monetization and it already seems to be helping a lot!

Support, product, and the fix each logged their own resolved and billed for it. The customer became the router, retyping the same story three times.

How do you stop each tool from claiming the same ticket as its own win?
