... film obsessive, and for the last 3 months I've been building Movidle a daily movie guessing game inspired by Wordle. The idea Every day, you get a new movie poster broken into 5 pieces, plus a trivia clue and a one-line synopsis. Reveal the clues

... work in corporate finance by day but for the past year ive been fully immersed into teaching myself software engineering and AI. I had an idea I couldnt stop thinking about, absolutely no engineering background, and no clue how difficult it would be to turn something in my head into a real product. ALOT of late nights, broken builds, redesigns... I've finally shipped my first app. Now I'm trying to learn the part that might be even harder ...

Classic Guessr: Guess the hidden IPL player using clues about their role, nationality, and key career achievements. Career Path: Trace a player s team-by-team and year-by-year journey to identify who it is. New puzzles drop daily, taking just a few minutes to complete (or longer ...

... love to introduce you to something I ve been working on: NUMIO. NUMIO is a number guessing game built around logic, strategy, and a little bit of competition. The goal is simple: find the hidden number using the clues you receive after each guess. But there s much more to it: Challenge other players to duels Compete in the World Tournament Play with 4, 5, or 6-digit numbers Climb the leaderboard Use logic to narrow down the possibilities ...

... nice little lesson in how device discovery actually works: An Apple TV announces the same services a Mac and a HomePod announce. Its name was "Living Room", which tells you nothing. So every clue Netfox had was either ambiguous or empty and it guessed wrong. But the device was stating its exact model the whole time. Netfox just wasn't listening. So 0.14.0 stops guessing and starts asking. Devices are identified by what they declare. Most of them state their ... ... model outright on the network. That now outranks every other clue

... tool?" - and honestly, they were right. Half the people who'd have loved it never tried it because the name didn't speak to them. So we became Cluing. Because what we actually do is help you find the clues in a sea of information, and turn them into finished work. We're back. And this time, we're not going quiet. Anyway, if you knew us as Collabwriting, it's good to see you again ...

... tells anyone which window it's running in. The session transcript has no process ID, no terminal ID, nothing. So Tablo can't look up the window, it has to deduce it, like detective work: a hook reports environment clues when a session starts, Claude's session registry (Codex has none) gives a process ID, and at the moment you click "jump," Tablo re-traces everything live, process its terminal device which tmux pane or tab owns that device which ... ... owns that tab. Whether the jump lands depends entirely on how good the clues

... word generator if you're feeling lazy), and then you play three rounds with the same words: Round 1: Describe the word however you want, just can't say the word itself Round 2: Only one word as a clue Round 3: No talking at all, just gestures The third round is genuinely where it gets chaotic and fun because by then everyone sort of knows what's in the bowl. A few things I'm proud ...

... Quick one: I'd love honest feedback on a single feature I've been obsessing over: Verbatim , the daily word game inside Skimify News. How it works: Everyone gets the same 5 clues. Each is a definition you pick the right word from close, confusable options. Your 5 answers assemble into a real sentence pulled from today's news. One locked-in attempt , no changing a pick. The twist: unlike Wordle, you don't find out how you did until ...

... trying to do with my upcoming Chrome extension for LinkedIn. I don t know if it will take off, so I want to go with the most cost-efficient stack possible. Could you recommend the best low-cost alternatives for infrastructure and launching? Databases Payments/money management (I m currently considering Stripe) Analytics Hosting and domains? If there are other essential tools I m missing, feel free to add them. I m especially open to dev advice since my experience here ... ... only unavoidable spend is a domain, roughly ten a year, so do not agonise over it, that is the cheapest line you will ever pay. On the Stripe question you keep asking: the real decision is not Stripe versus

... company, however, I think the situation is much more complex. It's difficult to evaluate it purely from a cost perspective. Comment from Moeez(@moeez1): I think the cost debate misses the real shift, it s less about AI vs humans and more about where trust breaks in the workflow. In outbound, we built Dialbotix as an AI Voice SDR to handle the first layer of outreach and qualification. What we noticed wasn t cost savings, but that teams stopped ... ... same time :D Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @roopesh_donde  And maybe we just live in a bubble, because we are heavy in tech, but imagine the rest of population. 85% of people do not have any clue

... women learned, after the fact, that their cycle data when they bled, when they were trying to conceive, when they were considering an abortion had been monetised. Flo settled. Nothing structural changed. Flo still has 77 million users. Clue still raised millions. The category just moved on. We couldn't. The question we kept asking was the obvious one: why does cycle tracking have to be ad-funded? So we built the alternative

... made them succeed or fail? For those who've sold into small/mid-sized businesses, what's usually the biggest blocker to adoption price, integration effort, or something else? Is there a feature here that seems like a "nice to have" versus something that would actually change behavior? Would appreciate any perspective, whether from experience building similar things or just as someone who's dealt with this as a customer or business owner. Comment from Tommy Kang(@sjtkang): What I'm building ... ... worth ad dollars at a tiny budget, and which are a money pit? I'm doing daily build-in-public content on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and X, but I honestly can't tell yet what's driving downloads versus

... spent a couple of days chasing the wrong thing. Then we found a Kubernetes default we d never thought to override, and the crash loop stopped. Here s the debug, in roughly the order it happened. The first clue: silence Pods restart sometimes and we re used to that, but the weird part was how quiet these restarts were. Every Node.js service we run has a SIGTERM handler that drains connections, flushes a few in-flight jobs, and writes ...

... other services are already running. Ota helps the repo make that path explicit. In `ota.yaml`, the repo can declare setup, readiness, execution, and safe tasks, so contributors, CI, automation, and agents are not all guessing from the same scattered clues. That helps with onboarding, but also with execution governance: the repo can be clearer about what should run, what is safe to run, and which path is actually intended. What is one command in your repo that new contributors always ...

... still a ton more in the todo list obviously :D) I was wondering if it makes any sense to make a product hunt launch here as the application is only for French market (at least at the moment) ? Any clue ? If anyone tries the app, has any comment or advice, I'll gladly read it ! If you know anyone around you who could be interested, feel free to advertise ^^ Thanks & cheers Comment from Nicolas(@nicolas59): @rianbrob  sounds cool ...

... front of more software engineers before it goes live. It s a debugging game where developers log into a realistic broken system, investigate what went wrong, fix it, and race the leaderboard. You get the kind of clues you d see in a real incident: logs, code, configs, docs, architecture diagrams, misleading symptoms, and a ticking clock. AI agents are allowed, but the challenge is designed so AI alone usually isn t enough. You still need real debugging instincts: where ...

... messy. That same idea led us to another project we ve been building: The Incident Challenge. It s a production debugging game for engineers. You log into a realistic broken system, investigate logs, code, configs, docs, and architecture clues, then race to find the root cause, fix it, and deploy the solution. AI agents are allowed. But the challenge is designed so AI alone usually isn t enough. You still need real engineering instincts: where to look, what to ignore ...

... want it. Using it to ship a production SaaS from scratch is a different game entirely and most people figure that out the hard way Comment from Jim Jeffers(@jim_jeffers): The useful split here might be prototype spec vs production spec. Vibe coding is very good at turning a rough product idea into something you can react to, but it s easy for non-technical founders to mistake that artifact for the real system. Before rebuilding with a developer ... ... Mona Kohlhaas(@mona_kohlhaas): @franckolv_dev  Thank you for sharing your method! The difference between you and me is that you had some development knowledge. I had none. And that makes a huge difference. So I had zero clue

... CineNerd is a simple movie guessing game: you get up to 5 clues and try to guess the film as early as possible. Fewer clues

... obsessing over why 7 people visited my website and 6 silently disappeared A while ago, I started building Zoftwaare and like every founder ever, I opened: Hotjar Google Analytics Search Console Lucky Orange and still had absolutely no clue why users were leaving. I could see: clicks rage clicks scroll depth drop-offs session recordings but not their intent. At some point I realized: I didn t need more analytics . I needed users to tell me what they were trying ...

... them, photo profiles were special in a similar way. When I double checked the profiles, the links were not working. And I hate finding myself interacting with bots. What is the limit that bothers you in interacting with AI vs what feels fine? A/ Interacting with a bot B/ Interacting with content being 100% generated C/ The person giving the idea, and asking AI to write an answer. D/ Asking AI to rewrite E/ Correcting with AI It was funny ... ... safe and always AI-compatible. The thing that can get you fired if you apply it to the wrong deal that's the signal. On images and video: agree with Saad that effort is the better frame than AI vs

... Selling a product that is highly technical with no UI to demo in a highly regulated environment requires being able to tell the right story. Its answering questions like "why is this for me", "what's considered good vs bad", and "what kind of benefit will i see". It comes from having discussions with customers and teams so you understand where they are coming from. Otherwise you're telling them benefits that aren't for them and you lose ... ... Comment from Matia Ristic(@naprich): It usually happens when the team starts saying, just don't touch that part of the code/product.' That s the red flag. When you re afraid to fix one thing because you have no clue

... great in a screenshot. It didn't solve anything measurable for anyone. "What gets tracked gets improved" is real. The founders I talked to afterward all had the same pain - they were shipping features and running experiments with no clue what was actually driving revenue. That last one is what I'm building next. It's called Flowsery - an analytics tool focused on revenue tracking, not vanity metrics. Built it because I needed it myself after ClawOffice, and every indie ... ... nailed the core loop. The pivot moment was when we stopped building features and spent two weeks just doing the marketing work manually for 5 solo founders. That's when we learned what actually needed to be automated versus
