... made this tool called Eneya , and unlike most things posted here the name tells you nothing, so: it's written pre-screening for tech recruiters. You build a short questionnaire around the competencies the role actually needs, candidates answer it in text on their own time, and you get back a scored report on each one. No video, no scheduling, no calls that end in the first four minutes. Anyone who has screened for a role with two hundred applicants ...

... solo bootstrapped founders. There s no all-in-one lightweight solution that combines fast AI analysis + authentic human feedback, plus a long-term growth path for new creators without startup resources. That s why I built SeedMit, a pre-launch validation platform built fully solo as a bootstrapped project. The core unique idea I wanted to test with this community: a structured 5-stage validation funnel to quantify pain point authenticity, paired with a dual AI + human review system ...

The pre-launch problem every maker knows: your quality claims are worthless because you wrote them. "Blazing fast," "AI-native," "developers love it" all noise until someone who isn't you says it. This week I got my first outside grades. Glama (the largest MCP server directory it indexes ...

Instead of a random directory, we pre-audited thousands of live stores to find actual technical defects across their entire site like broken tracking pixels, script execution drops, and mobile performance bottlenecks. The goal is to give agencies data-backed ammo so you can walk into a pitch ...
