... there, I am Nikolas and with my 30+ team we like giving back to the community. So, while I cant support every project that launches every day (I can barely keep up so somedays I dont even log on PH), I do want to make an effort for dev tool projects, especially those helping with AI code assistants (and platforms that could help me evaluate their effectiveness), IDEs, productivity tools and more. I am also interested in SaaS products with ... ... better if you connect with me a few days before your Launch instead of the same day). p.s. I dont plan a launch for now but might do one later this year for a tool I open sourced. cheers, Nikolas

... developer. My "co-founder" is AI. It wrote 90% of the code. Although it was expensive, I used OpenClaw + Codex + Opus. The hardest part wasn't the tech it was staying focused on what actually matters to users vs. what I thought mattered and looked cool lol Happy to hop on a call!

... questions for us. We have talked to many devs who strongly believe tools like this should be open. At the same time, we are thinking carefully about: how to structure the repo and contributions how to balance direction vs community input what we wish we had known before flipping the switch etc etc. So I wanted to open this up and ask directly: If you have open sourced a project (especially a dev tool): What do you wish ... ... want to stay committed to doing this thoughtfully, not performativel, so learning from people who have been through it already would help a lot.

... there, What are the biggest issues/problems you currently have with building and Testing APIs with existing tools like Postman, Insomnia etc? Is it about lack of features? Or maybe too many features? Developer Experience? Security? Anything else? Nikolas Comment from David Smith(@davidos366): We have automations running in the form of shell scripts, that test using curl. Faster, agile, better.

... Nikola, and I'm thrilled to launch Viral Rocket today! The Story: We noticed something that kept happening to content creators. They'd spend 10+ hours making and editing a video, upload it with excitement, and... crickets. 50 views. Maybe 100 if they're lucky. The problem wasn't the content quality. It was the metadata.

Crawlers: Platforms like Google Alerts or Mention scan the internet for textual mentions of your brand. Review Aggregators: Tools like Trustpilot or Yelp help monitor customer reviews across platforms to maintain your reputation. Any others? Let me know, Nikolas
