I built a web-based Obsidian alternative with real-time canvas (free beta)

I ve been using Obsidian for years and love the second brain concept. But I personally struggled with two things: - Local-first structure - Paid sync for cross-device access So I built something for myself fully browser-based and accessible from anywhere. That s how **Tracen** was born. What is Tracen? Tracen is a web-based visual note-taking SaaS that combines: - Markdown-powered knowledge management - Infinite canvas for visual thinking - Real-time editing - Import / export (Markdown & JSON) - No local vault. No sync setup. Just login & start. Pricing: Tracen is currently in beta and completely free to try. The long-term goal is to build a sustainable product with premium features. But early users can access everything for free while we improve the product. Try it: https://tracen.me I d genuinely love feedback from people building a second brain. **What s missing from your ideal note-taking tool?**

Looking for feedback

Hi all! We've been building Monit247, an uptime monitoring tool that covers HTTP, SSL, DNS, cron jobs, domain expiry, and more across 5 global regions. We built it because existing tools were either too complex or too expensive for what most teams actually need.
We're still early and looking for real feedback, what's working, what's not, what's missing. Would really appreciate a look: monit247.com

Building a culture tracker for everything I discover

Hey everyone

I m Rui, an indie iOS developer.

For years I kept discovering great movies, music, books, apps, and games and losing track of them days later. Watchlists helped, but everything was fragmented across different apps.

So I built iCulture. A single place to save everything I discover culturally, with a premium, minimalist focus.

What Pain-Point are you Solving and How did you discover it?

We re all builders here, which usually means at some point we looked at something clunky, slow, or frustrating and thought, there has to be a better way. Most products don t start with a grand vision; they start with irritation, curiosity, or firsthand pain.

I d love to learn more about how others here have navigated that journey:

How did you uncover the problem you decided to work on?
What signals told you this problem was worth solving?
How did you validate (if at all) whether people would actually pay for a solution?
Has your product stayed true to the original problem, or did it evolve into something different?
What surprised you the most along the way?

Building my first solo project. Looking for beta testers.

Hi! I'm building my first solo project. I'm not a dev, but surfing the big wave of vibe coding last year I built MasterPlan AI: an all-in-one tool for paid media professionals using AI builders without spending a single penny on them.

It s now in the final stages and I m preparing to launch on Product Hunt.

If you run paid campaigns and want to try it early, please join the waitlist on the landing page or contact me for a beta tester seat your feedback would help me a lot.
