    What an incredible journey it's been. It took almost 7 years, and sometimes I lost hope that I would make it to a successful exit. But today I am pleased to announce that I finally achieved the ultimate Hacker News…

  10. Ask HN: Tech startups with business co-founder full-time MBA student?

    After some disruption to my best startup idea (ChatGPT, and co-founder separately deciding they were done with the rat race), I started looking for business cofounders who had good ideas, and who were ready to prototype…

  16. Ask HN: Real human identity/uniqueness verification for boostrapped startup?

    For an indie startup idea, to reduce some unusual abuse that I expect, I need a way to make it hard for abusers to create another account once banned. The process for doing this has to not be needlessly creepy or…

  17. Ask HN: Use KPIs in an Early Startup?

    I just saw a software engineering job post for an early startup that listed what the KPIs for the role would be. The KPIs seemed to be niche-specific correctness/reliability. I'm a big fan of correctness and…

  18. Ask HN: How do you keep employee eyes off production data in new startup?

    Let's say you're early in startup (not enough resources, have to move fast before runway ends, have to fix problems rapidly)... and prod has sensitive user data. I just had a thought about my tentative next project,…

  20. Ask HN: Want a project management tool integrated with GitHub/GitLab/Jira?

    What do you think of this indie startup sketch? Suppose there's a complementary software project management methodology to what you're currently kinda doing (e.g., Agile, Kanban)... and someone built a tool for it that…

  22. Ask HN: Monetizing a Web Browser Extension

    Let's say you have a proof-of-concept for a Web browser extension... which you just realized could pivot to something that would be very useful to a large number of people (and a bit disruptive of some prominent tech…

  23. Ask HN: Which browser add-on for Hacker News do you use?

    The first thing I need is a user-block feature. (HN has done an impressive job at nurturing civility, but it's time.) I saw a promising-looking add-on for Firefox, but it had only a few users so far, and there was a…

  24. Ask HN: What if ChatGPT popularity breaks your 2024 startup?

    Just before ChatGPT, a cofounder and I were refining the concept of a specialized social site/app. Unfortunately, the explosive popularity of ChatGPT and similar LLMs among ordinary people, for tasks like cheating on…

  25. Ask HN: How did you do your 2023 tax returns?

    Particular desktop software (and were you able to airgap it)? Particular Web-based software? Preparer or accountant (and do you think they leaked your data)?
