Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Talon, and I'm relaunching FixIt today with a massive upgrade.
THE BACKSTORY
6 months ago, I launched FixIt v1 on cloud infrastructure. The feedback was clear:
- "Love the concept, but it's too slow"
- "Not enough results"
- "Keeps going down during peak hours"
I could've made excuses. Instead, I made a decision: We're getting our own server.
WHAT CHANGED
Last week, we installed a Dell PowerEdge R740xd in our rack. This isn't just an upgrade—it's a complete rebuild.
v1 (Cloud) → v2 (Our Server):
- 380ms → 29ms average response (10x faster)
- 3.3M → 18.5M solutions (5.6x more data)
- 95% → 99.9% uptime (enterprise reliability)
- $250/mo → $50/mo costs (we own the hardware)
Real performance from today:
- "python TypeError" → 29ms
- "React useState not updating" → 155ms
- "SQL injection prevention" → 312ms
WHY THIS MATTERS
Because we own the infrastructure, we can do something unique:
