Emir Çıtak's profile on Product Hunt

About

Solo developer from Turkey. I've been writing software since 2009 — spent about 14 years as an engineer, then started my own company three years ago building ERP and CRM systems for local businesses here. For the last couple of months I've been working on Foldif on the side. It's a Chrome extension that sits on top of ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini and lets you highlight, note and organize things, so the good answers don't just disappear into endless scroll. It's the first thing I've built for a global audience instead of local clients, so I'm figuring out the whole indie/maker side as I go, mostly in public. Mostly here to swap notes with people dealing with the same stuff — AI tools, getting your thing in front of people, and what building solo actually looks like now.

Foldif - Stop losing your best ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini answers

Most chat organizers stop at folders. Foldif adds what's usually missing: highlight key lines, leave notes in the margin as you read, and turn a long conversation into a clean book you'll actually open again. It works across ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, catches the to-dos buried in your chats, and searches all of them at once. Free to start, no API key.

the hardest thing i've hit in 17 years of coding isn't technical

it's distribution. i've been building software for 17 years, 14 of them as an engineer inside companies, the last 3 running my own shop building ERP and CRM systems for local businesses. in all that time the customers came to me, through contracts, referrals, existing relationships. this year, for the first time, i'm building something for everyone, and getting a stranger to care turns out to be harder than any bug i've ever fixed. hi, i'm Emir, a solo developer from Turkey.

this past year two things shifted at once. i started building with AI agents instead of writing every line by hand, which quietly changed what i even spend my time on, less typing, more deciding and reviewing. and the side effect of using those tools all day became the thing i'm building now: Foldif, a Chrome extension that adds a knowledge layer on top of ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, highlight, note, organize, so the good answers don't vanish into infinite scroll.

My 4 years of self-coding and just 6 months of vibe coding stole my ownership of the app I built.

The story started in 2019. I wanted to build my own company. Back then, I was running a service-based business as a developer, but deep down, I never felt connected to that model. I wanted to create a product that could grow while I slept. Something truly mine.

So I started building. From 2019 to 2024, I built the product almost entirely on my own. Every system, every architecture decision, every scalable practice, every multi-tenant layer. It was hard, but I always felt in control of the machine I was creating.
