Shieldcn should become a standard in the industry
was inevitable, but their prices are still the best on the market imo

It's hard but not impossible, imo you should stop it instead of building. Nowadays people like us (swe) are stuck in the building process, but we should take the majority of the time thinking to solve real problems and to find them we should just take our time off the coding.

Show HN: I deleted all my note apps and built an 8MB replacement

https://www.stik.ink

I had Notion, Obsidian, Apple Notes, and Bear installed at the same time. I used none of them for what I actually needed: catching a thought before it vanished.The problem wasn't features.

The idea is simple: indie founders list their products, set bounties they can afford ($50-500 range), and security researchers submit vulnerabilities. You only pay when someone finds something real.Free to list. No platform fees on the founder...

Ask HN: How do solo founders handle security?

Building a SaaS as a solo founder. Enterprise companies have security teams, pentests, bug bounties. We have... hopes and prayers? Curious how others approach this: - Do you do any security testing before launch? - Ever had a vulnerability reported? How'd it go? - Bug bounty programs seem overkill for small products or are they? Not looking for "just use Auth0" type answers. More interested in...
