We built Dropstone because we were tired of starting from zero every time we opened an AI coding tool.
Dropstone learns, remembers, and evolves with your projects building a persistent understanding of your codebase, architecture, and workflow. It s designed to grow with you, not reset after every session.
We ve just launched it on Product Hunt and would love your thoughts on how memory should shape the next generation of developer tools. Your feedback will help us refine what s coming next.
Given all the AI tools out there today, what is one challenge with data that still remains unsolved? why do you think it hasn't/can't be solved easily.
My journey in startups began 10 years ago, and I've launched 18 startups, most of which failed. Briefly on why they failed: 1. Contract Online my first startup in 2015, which was supposed to be an online service for remote signing of contracts for any transactions between individuals. A kind of analogue of a secure transaction. For this startup, I even managed to attract a business angel who invested $16,500.
Reason for failure: I had two lawyers on my team who discovered in the process that the legal framework at the time could not provide reliable grounds for protecting our users in remote transactions. The contracts would not have been considered legally signed. 2. Natural Products In 2015-2018, I became very passionate about healthy eating, but in the process, I discovered that products in all chain stores are full of chemicals, and stores with truly natural products are inaccessible to the majority. Hence, the idea emerged to create my own online platform where you could order natural products directly from farmers at affordable prices.
Reason for failure: For several years, I tried to launch this project, even trained as a baker of natural bread and tried to create my own farm, but in the process, I found that few people are willing to pay for truly natural products, even if these products were only 20-30% more expensive than market prices, and not 2-3 times more, as in premium stores. Hence, the market was so small that all my attempts were doomed.
