Re:Show HN: Open-source sandbox for your product team on Thursday July 02, 2026 @08:07AM (#48760156)
alright we've been facing this issue for a while now, gonna see if this fits, also maybe have a gif on the readme on how it works? thats gonna give more clarity since you're targetting non technical folks who casually check out github repos for solutions like these
Re:Folks selling PH likes and comments openly on Thursday October 03, 2024 @04:09AM (#41728389)
Launching on PH is getting more and more strange every year.

Today we launched and legit since yesterday are constantly getting such messages, how to stop this?

So a few weeks ago, we built an app to directly connect influencers' Instagram posts to your Shopify products.

The idea for this actually came in from our first product, which is a marketing automation tool for Instagram, where brands & creators could send the exact product/guide/recipe link to folks who commented on their post.

Saw on average 3x higher engagement & sales/lead collection via this method (as compared to link in bio). Many brands came to us that they want to do this for accounts of the influencers instead. Since that is where the main engagement comes in.

Pick a category, add any additional inputs and our AI trained over all Shopify app categories will recommend a great app idea.
Re:OpenAI Pricing Calculator and Other LLMs on Sunday March 10, 2024 @04:13AM (#39657549)
I've been building AI side projects lately and often compare prices of LLMs, so thought of using a calculator, most of the calculators I found were not updated so thought why not build one myself.

Open to feedback on how to make it more useful, let me know!

Re:ChatGPT App for Slack on Tuesday February 27, 2024 @12:58PM (#39527191)
Built this app initially for internal use at my company, saw some significant boost in productivity, so thought of building a SaaS around it.
tldr: here's the directory https://www.launchnow.pro/saas-boilerplates-directory

If you've planned on purchasing a boilerplate for your next SaaS, chances are you would have stumbled upon this GitHub repo: https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates

It's amazing, but still a considerate amount of effort in finding the one you want based on features & your budget.

Then I came across these directories: - https://saasboilerplates.com (love the ability to filter by stack! but prices not listed on main page, have to open each individually, no way to sort by price or search)

- https://saasitron.com/ (quite comprehensive! but again no prices listed on main page and no way to sort or search)

So I built one: https://www.launchnow.pro/saas-boilerplates-directory

It has all the above in a single page + functionality to sort by your budget. I plan to keep it updated and will keep on adding more boilerplates soon.

It's free to use, hope it makes your decision to purchase much easier.

The frontend + backend boilerplate to build your next SaaS, Web App, GPT Actions or AI Tools and become profitable!

Background: I'm Rohan, founder of Spur (spurnow.com), a marketing and support automation SaaS that enables 400+ brands across the globe to automate millions of messages in a month.

The only way we believe to scale is to keep talking to our users and ship stuff that gets them returns.

To ship faster, we need a setup that enables us to build things quickly, and then launch it in a way to get maximum distribution. Get money from that added distribution and invest it again to grow Spur further.

In this journey I realized that our setup actually enabled our speed of execution and many folks valued our stack and the process we follow in shipping. So I spent the last week in compressing the dev knowledge I've gained in the last 1.5 years and package it into a SaaS boilerplate focused on getting distribution from day 1.

Boilerplate is paid, and we're giving a flat 50% off for the first 50 users. Open to any kind of feedback that'll enable me to make it a much more valuable offering to builders.

Happy hacking!

Correction, Svelte is already passed 1.0. It's Svelte kit that's not at 1.0 yet (hopefully in a few weeks tho)
