... everyone! Happy to finally say hello here! I ve spent most of my time working o n document parsing , and one of the open-source projects I released earlier was OCRFlux . I m now working on DocDot, a local PDF parser stack for macOS. The problem we kept coming back to was pretty simple: people want to keep documents local for privacy reasons, but local tools often force a tradeoff between speed and parsing quality. We built DocDot around that ...

... doing the second Raccoon o clock session. First one was mostly around fundraising, early founder problems, and general how do I not waste 6 months doing the wrong thing chaos. This one will be more GTM focused. Basically: getting first users, founder-led sales, outbound, positioning, figuring out who actually cares, and all the painful stuff that sounds obvious until you are the one trying to do it. The format is simple: founders talking to founders. No webinar. No sales ... ... usually much more better than listening to generic advice. Comment from Ivan Semenov(@ivan_sem): @hosseinyazdi  Thnx, nice to hear! Please do join if you find the time! Comment from Dawid Baranowski(@dawid_baranowski): The last Raccoon o

... been good. This probably took 25 min to write but it's absolutely time I don't want to "save" by reverting to generic "listen to signals and post something in response" tools Owned community engagement we launched Raccoon o'Clock: a regular office hour (capped at 15 people for now) for founders to loosely chat about VC readiness and exchange fundraising tips. Pic is from the first one :) we're thinking about launching a Discord server, similarly for founders ... ... exactly why it works. Your top 1% on r/indiehackers proves it. On the Discord: I'd hold off. It's easy to launch and brutal to keep alive, and a half-dead server reads worse than none. Raccoon o

... heading and a fenced code block is colourised. Heads up breaking UX change: Enter on a list row used to open the item in your browser. It now opens the drill-in. The browser action moves to o on the row (which was already the action-menu shortcut for it). This follows the canonical TUI convention shared by lazygit, k9s, ranger, fzf and the GitHub CLI. Give it five minutes once it's in your muscle memory ...

... beyond "summary dashboard" you can now drill into a single repo / PR / issue without leaving the terminal.

... early but hey, what do I know! Comment from YekSoon Lok(@ys_askodin): Having operated on both sides of the table as an allocator and a founder, I view this through a different lens. The binary of "personal brand vs. product" is a distraction. The actual prerequisite is Thesis and Positioning . At askOdin, before we wrote a single line of code for our Deterministic Compiler, we established the exact taxonomy of the market. We identified that the last mile ... ... itself. I am new here, so I'm grateful for all your tips! :) Comment from Monika(@stormsister): @henry_lindsey maybe having more than one product is the answer? Or do we just start developing a split personality syndrome? O

... certain point removed my "tax of syntax", and like many, I am trying my luck. I've been learning a lot in this last couple of months and I can tell that I am having a lot o fun. Still a bit scary by going solo, but I always liked a challenge. Nice to meet ...

That's where most founders get stuck. Do you find they trust the numbers too much, or not enough? Comment from Henrik Pedersen(@henrikpedersen): The distinction I keep coming back to is read vs

... like button. Benchmarks, benchmarks, benchmarks Benchmarks should always be taken with a grain of salt . They are effectively a snapshot of a models capabilities under near perfect conditions.

... wanted to know my actual "AI tooling cost" per month. Turns out it was around $150/month across all providers. Knowing that number changed how I use these tools - I'm more intentional now about when I lean on AI vs just writing the code myself. Neither approach is "better." The real skill in 2026 is knowing when to use which.
