Re:Show HN: Launchy – A Next.js template for weekly launch directories on Thursday April 16, 2026 @03:29PM (#47798313)
The monthly cost of a platform like Launchy is very, very low. Let’s say $5 or $10 for a VPS (hetzner for example), and maybe $1 a month for email through Plunk - that’s it.

Hey HN,Last year I built and open-sourced open-launch.com, a Product Hunt-style launch directory. Sold it this summer (low 5 figures). Launchy is the premium rebuild, packaged as a Next.js 16 template.It's a full Next.js app with Drizzle/Postgres, Better Auth, Stripe Checkout for paid submission tiers and self-serve sponsor slots, R2 uploads, Redis rate limiting, Turnstile captcha, Plunk...

Hey HN, I built CoverSEO to solve a problem I had: finding keywords I could actually rank for. How it works: Pulls data from multiple SEO APIs, AI analyzes your site to understand your niche and business context, ranks keyword opportunities specifically for YOUR domain authority, one-click to generate an article prompt for Claude/GPT/whatever you use. Stack: Next.js 15, Drizzle, Postgres,...

Hi HN,

I built DailyPings almost a year ago as a simple way for makers to share daily progress or some discovery.

Just shipped some major updates: - Premium options (dofollow links, post highlighting) - Complete UI redesign with cleaner UX

The community has grown to 700-900 monthly visitors. It's not huge, but lots of makers sharing genuine updates.

Technical stack: Next.js 15, Drizzle ORM, Better Auth, Stripe, hosted on Coolify.

The goal was always to create something genuinely useful.

Hi HN,I built remotext.co – a text-only job board for remote work.The idea: strip away everything except what matters. Remote jobs, clean text and only 3 proper filters.No distractions, just the information you need to find your next remote role.Currently in beta with free job postings.The name plays on remote + text – exactly what it is.Feedback welcome.

Re:I built Findly.tools – a successor to 1000.tools on Sunday July 13, 2025 @03:21AM (#44548216)
Anyone else remember 1000.tools? It was this amazing tool directory that the dev community absolutely loved before it just... disappeared.

I've been working on Findly.tools to fill that gap - a modern, fully automated platform for discovering and sharing developer tools.

Tech stack: Next.js + shadcn for the frontend; Drizzle ORM + Better-Auth for backend; Stripe for payments; Cloudflare; Plausible for analytics.

Coming soon: The boilerplate for sale - deploy the cleanest, most complete & autonomous directory on the market with one click!

Re: on Sunday May 11, 2025 @10:13AM (#43953970)
1 month at home before starting my internship. I decided to do my 1st open source project, and what better way to be original than with a PH killer.

I announced its release 8 days ago and here it is now with 285 users and 200 project submissions.

On github I'm approaching 50 stars, so if you like the project, don't hesitate to let me know!

I launched DailyPings 5 months ago.

Between 700-750 unique visitors over the last 3 months, with no communications. DR 15.

I think there are things to do with it. Contact me if interested.

I made a “Show HN” post 4 days ago, but I regret posting it too soon. After 4 days of non-stop work, I've added a lot more templates.

The first post was well received with a collection of only 5 or 6 designs (and not the best imo), so I wanted to try again but with more content.

The project is called Landing Lab and it's a growing collection of landing pages.

Each template comes with a complete lorem ipsum structure that you can easily customize for any type of business.

Built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS.

Advice, feedback or recommendations would be appreciated.

Re:Discuo – Anonymous discussions with infinite branching and 24h life... on Sunday January 05, 2025 @11:51AM (#42603025)
The system is designed with multiple layers of privacy and security: - IP Hashing: One-way SHA-256 hashing with environmental salt ; Original IPs are never stored, only hashes ; Even with server access, original IPs can't be recovered; Server memory only processes hashes, never stores raw IPs - Per-Category Anonymity: Different poster IDs per category using separate salts ; Double-hashing mechanism: first for global ID, then for category-specific ID ; Cross-category correlation is mathematically impossible ; Each context generates a unique, unrelated identifier - Technical Assistance Compliance: I can provide hashed data and salting mechanisms; I can track specific hashed IPs if required; I can ban users without knowing their real IPs; But I technically cannot reverse the hashes to original IPs

The system balances legal compliance with user privacy - I can assist investigations through hash matching while maintaining technical inability to reverse-identify users. This is not about avoiding compliance, it's about responsible data minimization. The architecture ensures I can't provide what I don't have, while still maintaining effective moderation capabilities.

It's anonymous.

A moderation system has already been set up and used for several bans, and it works well. If there are more and more visits, I'll recruit someone for 24/7!
Re:Discuo – Anonymous discussions with infinite branching and 24h life... on Sunday January 05, 2025 @11:37AM (#42602926)
I'm open to discussion on how to improve the system if you have any ideas or suggestions.

Thanks for your feedback and just to respond to you: As I said below, after several returns I've updated the site and removed the automatic deletion feature after 24h but I'm thinking of adding an option when creating a post.
