Built a few projects:

- http://sfxengine.com/ $2000 MRR

- https://sparkpod.ai/ $250 MRR

- https://coderscreen.com/ $50 MRR :)

Definitely trying to focus on coderscreen since it has the most durable potential as a project.

Been building a open-source technical interview platform. Trying to keep the existing ideas of async coding assessments + live programming interviews, but want to add features for the new interview formats I see of take-home projects + AI coding agent interviews

Show HN: Open-Source Interview Platform

https://github.com/CoderScreen/coderscreen

Hey! I have been building CoderScreen, an alternative to coding interview platforms. I thought it was an interesting product to build with the evolution with all the sandbox products coming our for code execution, as well as me never being satisfied with existing platforms.The current features are: - Live interviews for pair programming exercises - Assessments for async technical screeningIt is...

Building Pasture (https://www.usepasture.com)

Pasture takes each signup, enriches it (title, company size, funding, tech stack, and more), and scores it 0-100 against your ICP. Alerts go to Slack with full context. You can also track which channels bring quality vs. junk over time, which has been the most useful part so far.

Re:Pasture – Qualify Your Signups on Monday January 19, 2026 @05:36PM (#46685477)
Hey!

I built Pasture to help marketing-led and product-led companies figure out their best growth channels and see if the signups they are driving match their desired ICP!

Would love any feedback

I run a couple projects, only one makes money at the moment:

SFX Engine: https://sfxengine.com/ - ~1.2k MRR

I launched another two and hoping to get these scaled up as well

Sparkpod.ai: https://sparkpod.ai/ - $20 MRR

Disstrack AI: https://aidisstrackgenerator.com/ - $0 MRR

Show HN: CoderScreen, an open-source alternative to CoderPad and HackerRank

Hi HN,I built CoderScreen, the open-source platform for live coding interviews and coding assessments.Most existing tools in this space (like CoderPad or HackerRank) feel like they’re built for enterprise sales teams, charging thousands per year for something that should be fast, simple, and developer-friendly.Key Features:- Real-time collaborative code environment- Fast, sandboxed execution in...

this is great, exactly what I am looking for

First generation on my AI platform was illegal sexual content

I wanted to try making my own AI wrapper product in only a couple of days, as well as wanting to try out Cursor. I built an AI sound effect generator, (shameless plug https://sfxengine.com/), deployed it, posted the links a couple places and went straight to bed. When I woke up I went to look at the logs, only to see that my first ever user tried to generate sexual content with a minor...For...

Well I am not a fan of RapidAPI for a couple reasons, firstly them taking such a big cut of an API provider's business and secondly their marketplace feels kinda spammy and low quality.

I am trying to build so that there is little vendor lock-in (you can export your users to other auth providers, billing is integrated directly into your stripe account, etc) so that you still have the choice to migrate if you ever feel unhappy with the service

Working on my modern take on an API management + monetization platform . I want to make it super easy to sell API access with all the bells and whistles you need such as; authorization, rate-limiting, subscriptions, credit billing, usage based billing and a self-service customer portal
