How long does it take you to build and launch an MVP? Single landing page experiments take minutes.

This is sick!

Ask HN: Would you let your AI coding agent profile and optimize autonomously?

Profiling is fun. Coding is also fun. But realizing AI is doing a far better job than me it just makes sense that I hand over the task.Profiling is still left as a human in the loop kind of work and blocks me to create a better harness.Would anyone find this needed too? If so, what language and platform?

I think it’ll be the same. There will be new aspects in life to bring joy, and misery in counterparts.

Ask HN: How did you find PMF?

Nearly all successful business stories boil down to two aspects1. Build what people want. So much so they are willing to pay. Talking to potential customers matters here. 2. Minimize the cost for solution building, both time and money.I get it.My problem is in the details. I would ask questions on sub-reddit, hacker news, x, etc if someone has specific problems, with some solution in mine. I...

Idea: lightweight & high performance remote desktop that connects easy-to-carry apple devices (macbook air/neo or ipad) to mac mini.

I use Splashtop for WFH and apple vnc at work for servers and they are so slow

Thank you for asking. No I'm not considering it as of now. I'm dogfooding and found it quite useful, so first wanted to reach out to others and see if anyone else finds it useful too.

I'm working on Helene (https://helene-ai.com), a personal memory layer for AI chats, stored in your Drive.

I chat and work with AI a lot, across multiple clients and devices, and copy-pasting context between sessions was painful (especially between desktop and mobile). I also wanted past conversations to compound into something useful, like a hassle-free automated diary. So I built Helene.

Helene captures conversations with AI and weaves them into documents. Data stays on your own Google Drive. Works across Claude, ChatGPT, desktop, and mobile.

I hope there's someone to find this useful.
